Annual pay hike this year?
Heard some rumors that there will be no annual pay hike this year? Is that true? What time do they usually let people know about it?
The Party is Over!!
Gone are my days of coming in at 1030a to leave by 3... "WFH" Friday's... And my daily 2 hour lunch. Poor me; it lasted nearly as long as my child's entire education but now the party is over. Better go get this funky smell and burning pee checked at... — read more
Any Good Leaders Warning their People?
Are any of your Leaders being honest about the upcoming Layoff and warning you to be ready just in case? Or are they all telling you that everything is OK? Or not saying single word? I find it funny that we get an email from JS the SVP Product... — read more
Another Exec Bailing

Layoffs are scheduled around the globe for July 31, 2017. The day after, August 1, 2017; is the "Sabre Q2 2017 Earnings Conference Call" - All make sense, isn´t? (http://investors.sabre.com/eventdetail.cfm?EventID=183892).
Too many managers with too few to manage
We have too many layers of Directors, Manager, and Supervisors. Many just have 3 to 8 people working for them. Cut out some of these middle men. There is no reason you can't manage 20 people under you. All the tedious activities like sick time and... — read more
PSD apps sold to Boeing?
I've heared that the apps supported by PSD were sold to Boeing. Anyone else heared the same?
Vision

No vision
Sabre still doesn't have a vision. Menke has been in office for close to 8 months and still hasn't described where the company should be going. One has to question if he knows. If you look at his history, it's all been 'managing the widgets' not... — read more
Sabre Stock
Sabre stock is down around 12% Year to Date and around 24% in the last year. Why is the stock down 24% in the last year if things are going on fine ? ( That's the message I got from the CEO townhall meetings) Who is impacted the most due to... — read more
27% of entire company?
The 27% layoff cannot be 27% of the entire company because that is like 2300 people. If that layoff is most for ( like14%) expensive DFW people then that would mean to be lay off about half the entire of DFW peoples. If that is plan then it is game... — read more
Have you been laid off?
Some employees have already been let go. If you have been, what kind of terms were given? How was it done?
The List?
So is there a real list?
Can we work on expanding our reach?
Sabre has very sophisticated algorithms for scheduling/pricing/ticketing/catering.... that could be applied to alot more industries that just the airline/travel industry. I hope they can survive and apply their skills to other problem domains... — read more
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. If you get laid off change is coming and it could possibly be a good change.
I used to work at Sabre and like many who have been laid off it caught me off guard and it was very cold and impersonal. I was devastated and angry at my situation. I had to take a week to just let it go before I started my job hunt and move forward... — read more
If you get severance from Sabre, you can still apply for unemployment
Remember folks, if it's a warn notice, you have 90 days to look for a job. If you wait out the 90 days and then officially released, go apply for unemployment even with severance you can apply (and receive) unemployment. Some people I worked with... — read more
August or September?
I have seen people preparing presentations about their products and teams. The new leadership has asked for this. And we all have been asked to update our mycareer profiles. I guess the new leadership wants to assess things and wants to discard none... — read more

SVP's & VP's really should be ashamed
SVP's & VP's really should be ashamed of themselves hiding behind the "LIST" For the remaining employees it is true demoralizing waiting for your turn at the chopping block, why wait, get it over with and start rebuilding a foundation that is not... — read more
Too late for Sabre
It's too late for Sabre now. What the company needs is Surgery. What it has been getting is bad external hires and band- aid for years. Take the example of outages and the P&T leadership. Cuts are almost sure to happen now. However while that will... — read more

Stability & security
Ironic that the latest attempt to fuel employees to work even harder towards the company's stability and security efforts (CEO's #1 priority) only to earn a $100 bonus (which btw failed on Day 1 due to outage) when all the while the employees... — read more
Total failure from the top down
I left Sabre in April and will never look back. Concepts (can't call them products) developed for YEARS before actually being released. Lack of process. Lack of accountability. Lack of integrity and serious ethic concerns. I heard rumors of a major... — read more

People @ Sabre Forget Quickly
It is simply amazing how quickly a laid off person becomes nonexistent. Your old Sabre friends will not contact you to see how you are doing. Sad! None of your so-called friends and coworkers will mention your name. A manager in my group joked about... — read more

Such big companies and their bosses go down totally rather rarely. The same will be with with Sabre and all this CEO, VPs etc. They have GDS to sleep peacefully and the only one part paying for bad business decisions will be workforce in the bottom:... — read more
Lay-offs after mid-year DPM reviews
Lay offs are absolutely coming, guaranteed. Probably after mid- year DPM reviews.
We are always the ones to pay. Are new layoffs on the way in Sabre?
If executives bonuses are at risk then you know there will be cuts coming. They will do everything in their power to save their $$$, but not to actually progress the company. Haven't heard any more rumors about selling off the HQ buildings and moving... — read more
Layoffs this Friday?
Heard a rumor that there will be layoffs this Friday, anyone else heard that?? If your manager has been distant lately you might be on the chopping block.
Sabre - Nokia / Kodak / Blackberry in the making

Layoffs to come fast and furious especially Delivery
It's coming. If your manager has not spoken to you much, or has been extra nitpicky, beware. You'll have the "low" scores and be out the door. BA's, product specialists, Testing, it's all going to be cut by at least half.
