I remember a time when an employee who had given a large part of his/her life to a company was thanked sincerely for their contributions, taken out for a nice meal and given a generous gift. 20/30 year veterans are now told to eff off and threatened with non payment of their RIF money if they dont get their laptop and ID card back as a matter of extreme urgency. What has the world come to? o my impacted colleagues, Thanks so much for everything you did here.

@txw What I meant with "mini China" is the abysmal quality of life that results from having no freedom or privacy, and living in a depressed economy that only benefits the very people that destroyed our nation.
True. It will get worse. Unused PTO was taken away starting Jan 1 2022. What is next? 1 week severance for every 2 years of service instead of 1? If they file for Bankruptcy if they can’t pay the $4.8 billion debt you may get NOTHING.
This RIF has really shown how Cheap and Petty Sabre Leaders have become. For the few of us still employed, this RIF behaviour for now ex-Sabre means that future RIF's will be worse for the one's Impacted. Feels like Mgmt wants to run employee's off to save even more money by not paying a measly RIF pkg. Sad state of affairs for a once Great Org.
About that "mini China" post.
A voice from central Europe here (ex Sabre).
I am afraid you are wrong about it.
Unless you meant that USA will loose its position against China and that's why it will be its "mini" version.
You were just replaced by someone who can do better your job. The rest is self-defense ego mechanism.
I agree - a union for salary employees is the only answer. Seniority means nothing and is actually a negative as we earn too much money. Sabre’s way to get around discrimination of older employees was that “due to reorg your position is no longer needed”. BS - we were just replaced with a lower cost employee.
This is why we should gave banded together and got a union contract.
menke was busy trying to get the best ceo award since is popular nowdays to be influencer..not sure what kind of an influence someone with his cv will have since all companies went busted, but in sabre there have been a lot of red flags and they were increasing..one could tell that it was not good and leave. this is why work should always be second in our lives.. you never know when you will be disposed. Best of luck to all of you and don't look back, the grass is greener on the other side
How sad. This is what happens when your nation gets sold by its corrupt politicians. Ultimately, that's source of all that's why our nation is crumbling. We're on our way to becoming a mini China.
