Some of our best have been laid off in the past several days. Knowledgeable people with most experience, who were crucial for the overall productivity around here. Why lay them off? Why willingly get rid of people who are one of SAP's biggest assets?
This makes absolutely no sense to me.
I also think that those that are laid off this round w a severance package may be getting the long end of the stick. Don’t think there will be payouts for the rest of the year.
HEC is only viable if it is competitive with other competitive offerings for your customers in your region.
I know one of my friend who works on the key strategic topic that SAP is raving about for a year now and he is one of the best I have seen is been laid off. This makes no sense.
As one of the affected in my late 40s, but looking at a pleasant severance package, I am starting to get less concerned about myself than about those that remain. My skill was quite unique and responsibility will fall to mentees of mine who I fear will struggle.
Whether overall strategy or just execution of this was poor, I am starting to think that those leaving in this round may end up better off than those staying, unfortunately. The combination of loss of talent, customer nervousness about SAP's ability to support them, and even potentially loss of deals because the technical support is not there could make 2019 a very difficult year for those who remain.
Even cost savings from all this will not come till next year, given the number of people with decades of service affected...
No wonder the quality goes down to toilet.
They are shifting Mobile Service to India to lower cost. Good luck with that SAP.
If they were late 40s or early 50s that might give you a clue as to why. They are getting rid of a lot of Mobile products.
