Sabre reviews

Hard to get approval on projects, many meetings are all out of a normal work day, Poland has no problem setting up a 4-6 hour meeting starting at 2AM CT, instead of compromising on both ends of work day. Way too many meetings and not enough time to do actual job. If meetings can't be found within the 8-12 and 1-5 time frame, then they schedule over lunch which for most is more about breathing room adn catching up on email. A lot of shifting of teams causing churn. Lay-offs happen once to twice year and have so for well over 20 years. Most are not merit but for cost savings ie: senior experienced employees. Present ceo is only there to clean house and will to blame for more than expected people leaving above the over 1100 let go back in May. He and his newest c-level minion need to stop blaming the better c-level people who were let go. S Menke was a decent ceo, but KE is awful, only there for the kill.

Sabre is suffering financially and it's not looking good. Debt load is increasing (just check out the SEC filings and quarterly shareholder reports) and mass layoffs aren't going to solve their significant problems. Executive leadership goes through a predictable and ineffective cycle of layoffs, reorganization, revised strategy, failure to deliver, and start it all over again with layoffs. Airlines are leaving en-masse, and they can't compete with Amadeus who are leaving Sabre in the dust. While there are some solid leaders there are many who are arrogant and think they walk on water while failing to deliver results. Sabre was once a great company to work for and many still feel that way, but unless they can pull out a miracle I feel they are heading for a huge fire sale.
