SAP Layoff Rumors: Is This The End of an Era?

Just saw the news about SAP cutting around 3,000 jobs on June 17th. Honestly, it's not that surprising given the market and the constant talk about restructuring. I've been with SAP for a while, and things have felt... unstable for a while now. The focus seems to be shifting more towards cloud services, and I guess traditional roles are being phased out or consolidated. It's a tough pill to swallow, especially for those who have dedicated years to the company. I'm wondering how this impacts different departments. Has anyone in engineering, sales, or support felt the direct impact yet? Are teams being merged, or are projects being shelved? It feels like a significant shift, and I'm trying to gauge the full scope of it beyond the headlines. Anyone have insights into which specific areas are hit hardest or what the long-term strategy looks like post-layoffs?

It's always a difficult situation when layoffs happen, regardless of the company. The shift towards cloud is definitely a trend across the industry, and SAP, being a major player, has to adapt. It's understandable that long-time employees would feel the impact keenly. Hopefully, those affected can find new opportunities swiftly, perhaps even within the growing cloud sector.

Yeah, the rumors have been circulating for a bit. The market's been choppy, and a lot of big tech companies are re-evaluating their structures. SAP's push into cloud solutions is well-known, so it makes sense that some older roles might be changing. Wishing everyone the best during this transition period. It's a tough climate out there right now.
