Just saw the news about SAP cutting around 3000 jobs, reportedly effective June 17th. This is a pretty significant number and hits hard, especially with the recent focus on cloud transformation. Has anyone here been directly affected or heard more specifics about which departments or roles are being targeted? It's always tough to see these kinds of announcements, and I'm curious about the broader impact on morale and future projects within the company. Anyone have insights into the strategic reasoning behind these cuts, beyond just the general 'restructuring' narrative?

That's a tough headline to read. 3000 is a substantial number, and the cloud transformation angle makes sense, unfortunately. Seems like a lot of companies are making these kinds of structural adjustments to align with market shifts. I haven't heard specific details about departments, but typically these reductions are aimed at areas with overlapping functions or where roles are becoming less critical due to automation or strategic pivots. Hoping those affected land on their feet quickly.

Wow, 3000 is a big number. It's always a shock when layoffs hit, regardless of the reasons. The cloud shift has been a major focus for SAP for a while, so it's not entirely surprising, though the scale is concerning. It's hard to speculate on specific departments without more info, but often these things target roles that are being consolidated or are seeing decreased demand. Let's hope there's support for those impacted and that the remaining teams can absorb the workload without too much strain.
