3000 Gone - My Take on the SAP Layoffs

So, the news is out - 3000 people. It's a gut punch, no matter how you slice it. I've been with SAP for a while now, and while I wasn't directly affected this time, I know too many people who were. The official line is always about 'restructuring' or 'efficiency,' and yeah, the cloud transition is a big part of that. We're all supposed to be embracing the future, becoming more agile, blah blah blah. But when does it stop? It feels like we're constantly being told to do more with less, and now 'less' means even fewer people. I'm trying to stay positive, focus on my own work, but it's hard not to feel a knot in your stomach. What's the long-term plan here? Are we just going to keep shedding people until there's no one left to do the actual work? Anyone else feeling this unease? How are you coping?

It's incredibly tough seeing so many colleagues impacted. The 'efficiency' narrative often masks the human cost, and the pressure to adapt to new technologies while potentially facing job insecurity is a heavy burden. Hoping those affected find new opportunities quickly.

This news is disappointing. While I understand the need for business evolution, the scale of these layoffs is concerning. It raises questions about the long-term stability and employee commitment within the company, especially for those who've dedicated years to SAP's growth.
