I vote of no confidence against the current CEO & CFO!

Told the board there they were doing it all wrong. Said they needed more eyeballs on The Masters and thus needed to add celebrities to the field of players with him being one of them. He was escorted off the grounds with all privileges revoked.

Charlie getting any ideas, given on their board? Or too scared too many people will take him up on it? Microsoft is offering an unprecedented voluntary buyout program to roughly 25% of its total global workforce, which equates to approximately 60,000 employees.

AI portfolio has improved. Improvements across the board.

You've had 19 years of Stephenson & Stankey.

You have made the shareholders of T- Mobile rich.
You have made the shareholders of DTV rich - Stankey ran it into the ground.
You have made the shareholders of Time Warner rich - Stankey ran it into the ground.
You sank $10B into AT&T Mexico - Stankey sold it for $2B.

Stephenson's first day as AT&T's CEO your stock price was $37.63/share. And today?

You hire a dud as CEO. Sooner the Board admits this the sooner they can move on with actually hiring someone that can run this company. In the meantime, enjoy watching your company bleed value daily causing more and more necessary layoffs. Id--ts.

Mike Mayo asked BM on the earnings call about succession planning… ie when are you going to hit the road?

With the stock down sharply, the AML fine, and the widening HTM losses, seems like this is more than enough for the Board to push him out.

Heard from grapevine that between Oct to Feb, another round of axing going to happen across the board. How true is this?

“At the request of Ambea, the Board of Directors of Humana has further today resolved to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 30 October 2026 for the purposes of, among other things, the election of new board members.”

Probably decisions to be made before October 31st.

Didn’t realize that the board of directors chairman is the chief customer officer of Nordstrom’s. So someone with no insurance experience and no understanding of what reps go through is at the helm of the largest p&c insurer in the US. Sounds about right.

So new head of Refining coming back to a company that should have never let him go. A good upgrade for the company but a clear indictment on the current second in command of Refining. Good for the board to see he is not capable.

EH is a pathetic leader.
The board is a disaster.
PK is fading.
JD was also a disaster.
SKIMs. What can I say. DISASTER.

They never trusted the people close to the work and close to the customers to inform decisions. Old guard = fatal decision-making.

Always a good sign!!!

Get ready for departure :)

It’s been over 6 months since EL started as CEO and I can’t seem to think of any positive or notable accomplishments. He was on the Board for a long time as well so he was not a new to senior leadership. It doesn’t seem like he will last long at this pace.

Is anyone getting pulled from their stores to go help out for the Board of Directors visit this year? I remember last year, managers from all over were flown down to VA and was wondering if the same thing is going on this time and when.

Brace up big change soon to be announced in the board and c-suite layer.

Sheffield said he now had no desire to be part of Exxon’s board, which friends had described as a “patsy board”.

The stock price is about where it was when Chris became CEO in 2019.

Way to go, Chris! How's that "strategy" panning out???

Have some dignity and resign. Or just ask the board to fire you, which is beyond me why they haven't.

Hopefully the board will be dissatisfied or an activist investor will kick HT to the street where he belongs.

Lay him off!

Thoughts? Let’s hear some good takes with solid reasoning

I don't understand the hold Rajat has on Ryan and the board, it's like the old fable The Emperor's New Clothes, our senior IT Joe parading around that AI is going to save the world, that the OpenVisaNet project is going to finally replace the mainframe... how long will it take before somebody realises Rajat is na--d? OpenVisaNet has been running for years, how much has that cost? In the meantime everybody is judged on how many PRs they submit, lines of code generated and tokens they use, regardless of them being an engineer or not. I used to love working here, but the well has been poisoned, until it affects shareholders directly they'll keep parading Rajat and his AI dream as the nirvana. Roll on retirement, if they don't get me first that is (being of a certain age my days are numbered).

I am surprised the board is silent with all things that are happening. I guess there is more chatter on Paramount Global's page - Good luck all.

I read a lot of different company discussions boards but I think Phillips 66 is the most active I've come across. There must be some serious deep rooted problems within the company. These boards can have a few resentful ex employees but that rarely lasts long. As active as this board is it tells me there's some serious issues within. Yikes

Do employees know there is a direct correlation between share price and employee layoffs? This Board and management team has destroyed any value in this company which constantly drives the value of PayPal lower. Now we seem to be relying on lowball buyout offers to give us any hope. I have lot of company stock from the 7 years I’ve been here and it constantly goes down. Even if they sold the company for $90 a share I would still lose money over a 7 year period!!!!! That is absolutely nuts.

Kraft-Heinz and Disney just partnered… former PEP leaders…Hershey has two former PEP execs.. thriving…so what do we make of this?! Seems like strong leaders are thriving once they leave here. Will the PepsiCo BOD wake up?!

BP appoints former Balfour Beatty CEO Ian Tyler as chair

• Manifold was fired in May after less than a year in position
• Board member Amanda Blanc will not seek re-election
• Blanc had overseen Manifold, Tyler appointments

Each passing day reveals how out of touch and clueless the new CEO has become. I dread having to go a year or so under his leadership before the Board realizes another mistake and fires him while he walks away with $10’s of millions of dollars. Was this hiring some kind of way to steal hundreds of millions orchestrated by the Board. I think everyone was shocked when a guy who ran a printer company was appointed CEO. We’re moving at the speed of a printer company now. I have a lot of retirement money in stock and I hate checking the account because it’s less and less every day.

Many posts in why so many layoffs .

No mystery...look at the quality of Vz BOard and backgroubds. Then compare to Boards at AT&T and Other Dow 30.

It's so obvious the root cause of lack of strategy and execution.

Vz Board compliments of Hans DEI Noah Ark style.

I still winder how Dan claims he was ask 3X to take over from Hans.

Where was the Board sense of urgency?

The lack of honesty and transparency is on the Board.

As a result, lazy exeution strategy to layoff 16,000 and counting.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if VA eventually replaces EH as CEO. A lot of people senior leaders are frustrated that we still haven’t seen the turnaround everyone was promised.

EH is unable to get the business moving again, especially around innovation, product, and brand momentum, the board is going to have to seriously consider a change. VA could be a logical next choice given his experience and understanding of the company. Sad part is that we don’t have any good replacement options with our stock teetering in the 30’s.

Is this the appropriate section to include discussions on Siemens Mobility in Lexington, NC? I wanted to make sure this was in the correct board before anything is posted.

Thank you in advance

Read the WSJ article that outlines concerns raised in 2023. How are there not Board members “asked” to resign if they swept that under the rug exposing the Company to liability?

Wonder how many of Board of Directors who selected CK as CEO are still around today to see TODAY.

They made a Fully Informed Decision selecting him, and now it’s Déjà Vu. Wonder how much the stock will quiver. If it does, it’s flattery to CK.

RV gets a seat on the OpenAI board. Now a McKinsey exec gets a board seat at BNY. What’s next in this game of thrones?

We are never getting free of him. That SETH answer was pretty much “I don’t want to retire, the board is happy with me, your happiness doesn’t matter, take your extra money and shut up”

How can an “analytics” company have negative stock price performance and consistently declining revenue for over a decade? This is a high growth market. The leadership is poor and the board is apathetic. This is embarrassing.

What surprises lie in store? What choices are being made to manage the end of quarter numbers? Not for employee benefit certainly, but to make the board think that real work is being done.

Shudder.
