All the time we are expected to do more with fewer resources. Whether people quit or are laid off, one thing remains the same. The rest of us will be expected to pick up their work. Heavens forbid we backfill a position or two. I wish my manager... — read more

Amazon rescinded my offer
I'm devastated. I thought I'd be okay since I had been working on leaving for months and landed an amazing offer just to have it retracted. I haven't been in the job market for a while, is this something that happens often? I don't know if I can take... — read more
Whipping harder on the remaining staff

This company needs a radical change
I have seen many, many rounds of layoffs at SAP and nothing has changed. There will always a new batch of blue kool-aid drinking sheeps joining. They heard that it is very easy to slack off at SAP, get free food and take naps anytime in one of the... — read more
My hopes

SAP Outside Directors: Do your Job
This layoff process should be reviewed by our outside directors. None of our board member can be proud of how this was handled. If they are, their contracts should not be renewed or better yet - fired.
Leaving feeling bitter
I am not impacted, but I sympathize with everyone who is and I wish you luck to get new, better opportunities. I started looking for a new job myself, because I am more than disappointed with the way the layoffs were managed here. The story I... — read more
