Just heard about big-time layoffs at SAP layoffs. Is any consulting company laying off employes as well in SAP technology?Looks scary.

SAP America routinely lays off with variances in demand, particularly being publicly traded and the quarterly earnings pressures that come with that. My wife took a voluntary layoff with them some years ago and got pay and benefits for 9 months. She had a new job in 6 weeks and basically had two salaries for 7.5 months.

Partially agreed but how come Salesforce,workday and lot of other non-erp's are rocking 🙏

I was laid off december right after mid year CRT and reason given was as a SA i am not creating impact in bringing work to the practice. Couple of other folks were laid off too sing with me and we were part of tier 2 ratings with great connections and network and feedback. So, I would not be surprised if this is case just before year end.

While I feel for folks and wish them luck but I do want to see if this kicks away the bad leadership specially some incompetent managers that are in that practice

P2: ok HR. you don’t have to read too deep in my reply. FYI. my metrics were not weak if that is what you were implying. I was up for promotion this year and if my metrics were weak till december then why was I not let go right after CRT in June? It was a 2 in year end and also at next level for other metrics past CRT. There can be crappy reasons but it might be helpful if instead of pointing us out see how incompetent managers perform and impact the metrics in practice. Many Managers in the practice are not even capable of being a manager - one as they don’t maintain the team dynamics and two is that they always push down blame instead of owning stuff. I can go on and on but it might be better if you look into those above level and see what needs fix. 🙏🤷‍♀️

Also...it’s important to note that SAP does this regularly. It may not be anything worth noting. (I honestly don’t know either way...just saying it happens there)
