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

Amazing with all the RIFs the top surviving re--rds somehow stay in positions in while adding no value whatsoever to the company. Maybe they should replace the board with AI. Ever think about how truly fu--ing useless leadership is vs the workers that get sh-t done?

So no one in Abby’s board has the guts to tell her, “Everyone’s miserable right now…your decision is damaging the company?”

The sheer concentration of former Aristocrat executives embedded at the highest levels of Light & Wonder points to a deeper, structural risk. Looking at the resulting decline in our product quality, the narrative shifts from simple talent migration to something far more aggressive—suggesting a corporate infiltration designed to hollow out our unique market advantages from within the boardroom itself.

Think of what a company like 3M could do with $6B. Dozens of acquisitions. R&D. Capex for expansion into new markets, plant safety measures, modernization of lines held together with gum and Scotch(TM) tape, sustainable OTIF improvements. Hire and retain people with knowledge, skills and experience instead of gambling that third party service providers won't get bought by PE and ensh*ttified or leveraged out of existence within the next 5 years. LTIP for more than the golden few. Pay off legal settlements instead letting them be an overhang for the next decade.

Stock buybacks were illegal until 1982 for a reason. They're market manipulation, pure and simple. But since everybody is doing it and companies are only valued now for making cash and not things, out the cash flows. All so BB can goose the stock to $200 in time for his last tranche of signing RSUs to vest next spring.

Name one candidate from outside the company that would even consider taking over after Stankey.
Who can shovel out 30 years of muck he created?
And create a successful strategy for the next 30?

Btw, no help will come from the Board.
Remember, they're all intermarried friends and family; they are just as complicit.
Which means internal successors are just more of the same.

So, who?

Announced this morning. Now off the board. Sad.

Apparently the board of directors are “none”! Out stock is down again but yet we rec an email with him praising himself! Yes I give credit when do, he has been perfect at the debt ratio for the company for sure and below -0 on employee retention and more! It shows Dailey and hourly within the company! Who or what will be left to sit in those chairs in Plano when all said and done?!

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?

Use your favorite AI to analyze AT&Ts business savvy with regard to AT&T Mexico. “Massive Destruction of Capital” is probably my favorite term that was used in its analysis. Par for the course. It is literally THE ONLY THING that Stankey and team are good at. And they excel at it. And no one is EVER held accountable to the shareholders by the BOD. EVER.

“ • The Entry (2015): AT&T aggressively entered the market by acquiring Iusacell for $2.5 billion and Nextel Mexico for $1.875 billion, totaling roughly $4.375 billion in headline acquisition costs.
• The Exit (2026): After more than a decade of operations, AT&T agreed to sell the unit to a consortium of Grupo Televisa and Fintech Holdings for just $2 billion in cash.
This means AT&T recovered less than half of its original purchase price, completely erasing over $2.3 billion in asset value. This calculation doesn't even account for the billions of additional dollars AT&T poured into building out its Mexican 4G/5G infrastructure and funding years of operating losses over the last 11 years“

“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.

Vote....those employees who own stock. Vote those shares. We are losing money while SF and her team do the same thing over and over. The only thing the board MIGHT listen to is employees. When asked about compensation for CEO. Say no. We dont have enough stock to stop it but we have enough it will get noticed..if the board cares. VOTE

Got a news that they will be some big changes happening in Board of Directors and C-suite layer.

Anyone heard anything?

Most PepsiCo employees will skim past the recent board appointment Joaquin Duarte. This appointment is part of Elliot Managements activist investment influence. PepsiCo is being reshaped and transformed with Pepsi/Frito merged distribution. 3rd party logistics are the future of their supply chain. Shareholder value will reach peak meaning soon. Job cuts will continue and likely be rolling job eliminations as duplicate roles will be targeted first. Macro economics are not favorable, but employees are dispensable in the short term. Anything is on the table to save share price. Don’t get comfortable and have your resume updated.

We talk constantly about management accountability, but what about the board?

After years of strategy changes, executive churn, restructurings and layoffs while approving significant executive compensation and crazy separation arrangements how should shareholders evaluate the board’s record? Why cutting huge amounts of staff many needed (some not), changing roles with our prep or training for the remaining staff to absorb your choices all while overpaying bad leaders you chose to leave?

Where does management accountability end and board accountability begin?

I would like to propose to the Board of Directors that Humana replace the current CEO with an AI version to make all of the big corporate decisions for the company.

The new AI CEO will make great decisions and will work for $0.00 income.

This is a cutting edge move that will grab news headlines and shareholder interest!

Please give it some serious consideration.

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

IF SOMEONE FROM THE BOARD OR ONE OF THE KEY INVESTING COMPANIES IS READING THIS — CAN SOME GO AFTER THESE PAY GRADES ?? HOW MANY DO WE NEED TO GET THE “REAL” JOB DONE ??? THERE’S A WHOLE BUNCH WORKING FROM EXOTIC LOCATIONS PLAYING GOLF AND MOST OF THEM KNOW JACK S**T ABOUT THE GROUND REALITY COMPLETELY CLUELESS POCKETING THICK PAYCHECKS WHILE THE REAL WORKING CLASS THAT IS ALREADY SO THIN BARE BONES AND FURTHER BEING REDUCED TO ASHES NOW IS SUFFERING CLIENTS LEAVING !!!!!! REVENUE GROWTH AT 0-1% AND YOU STILL HAVE TO DO ALL THESE LAYOFFS??? LETS GET REAL HERE , WHAT IS GOING ON ????? CAN SOMEONE FROM THE BOARD START COMING TO THE TOWN HALLS , WHO KNOWS THE CEO DOING THE TOWN HALL TODAY COULD ALL OF A SUDDEN DISAPPEAR THE NEXT DAY ????WE ARE IN A BIG MESS !!! INVESTORS , PLEASE INVESTIGATE PAYCHECKS AND COMP AT THE TOP!!! IF YOU ARE GOING TO DRAG ALONG WITH 0-1% GROWTH WITH LAYOFFS EACH QUARTER , HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO LAST ??? LITTLE NASTY FRANKY GOON RUINED THIS TO THE GROUND GET HIM BEHIND BARS AND HAVE HIM PAYBACK ALL THE MILLIONS HE WALKED AWAY WITH SO THE WORKING CLASS CAN BE REWARDED AND RETAINED.

WAKE UP BOARD AND INVESTORS WAKE UP IF YOU READING THIS THE TIME TO ACT THIS NOW #SAVE FISERV NOW #STOP THE LOOT #CULPRITS BEHIND BARS

Amazing to listen to the sales president spin everything. Truth is Q1 is a disaster and the BOD and CEO are going to be making some major changes.

Interesting article below don’t let leaders tell you it’s the market norm the decline — looks like Stephanie and James did particularly well at Goldman Sachs Communacopia (sarcasm) - judging by the stock performance since.

It’s incredibly frustrating. At what point are the Board going to hold Stephanie and her leadership team accountable? The only thing they seem capable of running is a sinking ship.

Just remember that there is more accountability for a mid-level IC than there is for Enrique. He’ll fail and get a golden handshake deal while our colleagues are laid off and job hunting in the worst job market in our lifetime.

F PayPal “leadership”, F the board. They have ki-led what was once upon a time a fintech leader and they have ZERO vision to bring it back from the dead. I would have welcomed a Stripe acquisition even at that number. At least they have some kind of trajectory.

Sorry to all who have been affected. I hope we all find better gigs. Check on your friends.

And there is only one african american in board of directors.

what is the excuse?

Nike conducts majority of their business to African Americans.
Nike's sales and future designs are influenced by African AMericans.
Nike acts like they are fair and equitable company but it is evidently not true.

If I went through their profiles in 1990s, I am very sure I will have same impression.

When will Nike star hiring upper management people who are African Americans!!!

Don't just try to sell to African American be opened and fair to African Americans too.

This is 2026 and not 1970

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?

Historical look how VZ management chaned, whatwere thesignals everyone missed.Using Verizon as a case study, there were several governance signals that, in hindsight, suggested the board was becoming more active before the October 6, 2025 CEO change. Here are the key items professional investors often watch:

1. Lead Independent Director gains prominence. Daniel Schulman was elected Lead Independent Director in December 2024, replacing Clarence Otis Jr. The lead independent director often becomes the board's principal counterweight to a combined Chairman/CEO. By itself this is not unusual, but it can indicate the board wants stronger oversight.
2. Board succession language. Read the proxy's Corporate Governance and Compensation sections for discussion of CEO succession planning. Boards rarely say a change is coming, but expanded discussion of succession planning can signal increased focus.
3. Executive compensation versus performance. Look for:declining customer growth,missed financial targets,reduced incentive payouts,
   changes in long-term performance metrics. When compensation committees alter incentive plans, they may be responding to business underperformance.
4. Sell-side conference messaging. In September 2025, Verizon executives continued presenting strategy to investors. If management's messaging remains optimistic while operating metrics continue deteriorating, boards sometimes conclude a different leadership approach is needed. This is more meaningful when combined with board actions rather than viewed alone.
5. Sudden leadership change. On October 4, 2025, Verizon's board immediately replaced Hans Vestberg with Daniel Schulman as CEO. Vestberg became Special Advisor, while Schulman moved directly from Lead Independent Director to CEO. The board later disclosed these changes in an 8-K.
   For Verizon specifically, one sequence that stands out in hindsight is:
   December 2024: Schulman becomes Lead Independent Director.
   2025: Continued competitive pressure and market-share concerns.
   October 2025: Schulman is elevated directly from Lead Independent Director to CEO, replacing Vestberg immediately.

Don’t get me wrong. I retired from IBM and I loved my career there. I have fond memories of IBM, but I am very concerned as I watch competitors like Microsoft or AWS. While IBMs competitors enjoy double digit sales growth, IBMs sales growth has been in the single digits. Can a company grow that depends heavily on acquisitions for sales growth rather than organically growing from its own products that it invents/creates/sells/supports. How long will the board members and major shareholders accept status quo before they start looking at takeover bids from other corporations?

Jana Partners sent a letter to Fiserv Board of Directors stating in short that they're not comfortable with insufficient changes to remediate governance issues and want further "board change".

Jana supports the same of our debit network and also calls for comprehensive review of the entire asset portfolio.

Stock has done nothing in 5 years. I'm surprised the they haven't started selling more parts of the company. Typical of tanking companies.

Burdick is out.

Another board change. Another transformation executive.

If your job depends on manual process instead of judgment and business impact, I’d be paying close attention.

BP ex-chair Manifold planned to remove Director Amanda Blanc

https://www.marketscreener.com/news/bp-ex-chair-manifold-planned-to-remove-director-amanda-blanc-ce7f51dcd889f52d

The answer is: this TRP MC member recently joined the board of another public company.

When is the board of directors and everyone else going to wake up and realize that John Stank has provided no value to the company for a long time! He is no longer relevant and if he doesn’t like the truth he can retire or find another company willing to take on an aging dinosaur. The culture under John is toxic and has been for too long.

Over the last 5 years PEP stock is down 14%.

KO stock up 43% over the same period.

That is an astounding failure. That is 100% on Ramon. The global "headwinds" were the same for both. That utterly incompetent fool of a CEO has got to go. I don't understand how Elliott Management kept him. How the PEP BoD kept him. What is going on?

I see the market was up again today, and the OpenText price ... oh, crud ... down again.

This company's outlook is bleak as long as Jenkins, his pupppet CEO, the so-called Board of Directors, Bell, Muhi, Rai, Berry, Cione, Acedo, and all the other Jenkins minions are in charge.

As a stockholder I demand change!

I know how we see this mess. Now I know how others see it. Pretty much the same.

"Verizon was once a pillar of American innovation. Today it reflects strategic drift and a failure to lead.

With no clear path to growth or meaningful differentiation, CEO Dan Schulman appears to be reverting to the oldest and weakest playbook: cutting skilled American workers to prop up short term stock bump.

This tactic ignores a fundamental truth. A company cannot hollow out its own institutional knowledge without consequence. The talent being discarded is the very foundation that made Verizon great.

What we are seeing resembles railway operator’s “last car” fallacy. Remove the weakest link for a smoother ride, but there is always another last car. Eventually, nothing of value remains.

This is not leadership. It is managed decline.

The board must recognize the trajectory and act before an iconic American company is diminished beyond repair."

Did anyone else here this? The board was doing the same for Sampath before Dan sacked him.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the body overseeing the implementation of United States monetary policy, has announced the creation of five task forces intended to evaluate and improve the Fed's operations. In a press release, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh named the "external advisers" who will lead each task force, ranging from economics professors to AI investors and corporate executives—executives like Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who will preside over a task force on employment and productivity.

This company should change its name now. Walgreens is gone, it was destroyed by R0z and her wrecking crew - Tracey Clown, HS1OWW who was her CIO/CCP, and several others. It's an embarrassment now, and simply needs to go away. And the Board who let it happen - Jan, Val, Ginger....should be removed from any board roles. Criminals...all of them.
