- For years, Sage hired talented people far from major office hubs across Europe, promoting flexibility and remote-first work.
Without proper support or planning, Sage has now reversed course, enforcing a mandatory three-day office policy.
- Leadership has shown no regard for the disruption caused to employees' lives and families,
- Instead of fostering dialogue, Sage has resorted to surveillance, tracking employees’ laptop IP addresses to monitor office attendance.
- During All Hands meetings, Steve Hare and others senior leaders openly address employees with hostility, stating “Sage is not for you” if they question the new mandates.
- Middle managers and directors have been entirely useless — either staying silent or parroting corporate talking points, offering no real support to their teams.
- A vocal minority of sycophants drowns out genuine concerns, further deepening a toxic workplace culture and silencing honest feedback.
- Morale has collapsed across the company, with motivation at an all-time low.
- It is evident that Sage is deliberately pushing employees to resign rather than conducting a proper, transparent layoff.
- Senior leadership remains completely disconnected from the real struggles of employees, while continuing to cash out millions annually in company shares.
- Sadly, under the current leadership, Sage has abandoned its values, its people, and any sense of humanity.
