There is life outside of Sabre. Sabre is not what it used to be, so take it as an opportunity to find something good.
-
As brutal as this sounds, if you're on the list on 7/31...blame yourself. You had the chance for the last 3 years to find something better (since the most recent major RIF) yet you stayed to live in the Sabre bubble. However, it's an opportunity to be better, so grab it with both hands. It'll be tough no doubt but then again, it's a good thing.
-
When you leave Sabre, you're already a wise person, for you now know what not to look for in your next opportunity...backstabbing, non-existent HR, manipulation, and people with thin skins.
-
Once the emotions die down on Monday, take a break of at least a few days to clear your head. No good comes from taking decisions when you're emotionally compromised and applying randomly for jobs does not work.
-
Craft your personal story on how you achieved some success even at Sabre. That's more important. That's what companies look for...how well you work under stress and duress.
-
Reach it to the ex-Sabre employees on LinkedIn who have successfully found their next gig, laid off or left on their own will. The good ones will help you out for they are the ones who understand your situation.
And a bonus one!
- Never bad mouth Your ex-employer even if you're laid off. Mature employers already know that layoffs happen and people like us are pawns in it. Also, if you're in dfw, Mdv, or krk, most people will understand what goes on at Sabre. So, why bad mouth to begin with? Instead focus on yourself, your family, and how you can contribute to the success of your next employer.
I get it, getting laid off is not a moment you want to remember, but what happens next is in your hands, not Sabre. Also, if you smell Another company that smells like Sabre, run away from it.
