Thread regarding SAP layoffs

@hk Don'y forget me dude, I am your bro from Mumbai.

@js I hear that too. Wenz has his best buddies earning the max salary possible and hiring friends of friends.

@gm he is not leading the org anymore, but influential in how much budget the LoB gets and how much the rules and bended in favor of them. His buddies even when under Mr Wenz and Zube remain protected. PS not everbody is a "Dude"

@g4 actually Gero is gone. And the perpetrators of a lot of these problems you see are Andre Wenz and Torsten Zube. They are high level SAP executives who joined Signavio and are trying to bring this "culture" there. I moved on from Signavio a couple of years ago but I hear from current colleagues of how toxic the culture is now. The top jobs are reserved for employees who come from an SAP background as long as they are based in WDF or ROT. It is no better than any other part of SAP.

@hk Try not to scam the audience here by portraying yourself as an Indian and spreading indirect hate! Get a life

I am an Indian who would like to work for SAP in Germany.

Do you have any hints how I can secure a good and well-paid job in waldorf?

I used to work in signavio team for 2 yrs after they joined sap . It was a party team. You cannot get them to do anything because they already made money by selling to sap lol

@g4 Gero is gone dude.

Though I did get a signed copy of his book in Barcelona earlier this year.

@dp Signavio is a scam, non-existing leadership there, just bluffing. Let's ask Gero about their exemptions from SAP policies, unlimited budgets, and why they protect racists and bullies.

@dp do not say anything bad about signavio. the best SAP colleagues run it now. Also a correction. The approval is €1,3 million not €1,1 million.

@bx Signavio is going on a Code Camp this year again as well to have a good time and do some more mental and physical harassment which they are the masters of, especially their design managers and directors...shh no names here just search for Bloomberg and Signavio and read there!

@bx They should travel to India.

India is home to the best developers in the world.

@bx BAIP doing the same. I guess since they own AI they have no holds bar budget..

@bs they are just traveling to partying and the only way to travel and party on SAP money is for AI purposes. We have to give management what they want to hear and they do not want to hear the truth. Signavio got 1,1 million Euro to spend on their annual party called Code Camp in September. Other areas are also planning travel and entertainment by simply calling it AI or magically finding a customer in the location they wish to visit.

Has SAP or even the AI companies done some studies that customers will forego per user seat and pay for AI units consumed? Customers are not foolish! They have seen that AI units are unpredictable and can drastically affect their bottom line.
SAP just follows blindly what US tech companies do because internally they don't have any sound strategy and product leadership group!

There is a new All in On AI workshop planned in Munich office from next week where they will continue with this now yearly exercise of mental gymnastics where more than 250 people from around the world will be flying in. This is not sound product development but chaotic product development subject to the whims of the loudest and highest in the room.

Project Crest 2026

The issue is the impact on the economy.
Software engineers represent a big chunk of middle class consumers.
Soon there will be impact on real estate, cars industry, tourism and consumption as a whole.
The economy will slow down and the impact will go general and global.

One advice to fellow software engineers: save your money, don't spend much this summer because the winter could be tough..
