#ceo

WSJ says Authentic Brands discussed a bid above $20 a share for $MAT, or about $6 billion. No deal is certain after a CEO change.

After 13 years with VMW/AVGO/Omnissa I finally found a new role and left. It was a long time coming and honestly my only regret is that I didn't leave sooner. The management I was under was useless and my role kept getting worse and worse. I knew Kevin was being pushed out but to see the CEO replaced also helped confirm my move away. I wish all my former peers the best of luck but to me it looks like a sinking ship.

Check it out. This CEO makes a whole lot more than DW and all he has to worry about is restarting SYU. If I was a Sable Offshore (SOC) investor I would question why this guy is making so much. Then again DW couldn’t get it restarted so SYU was basically just bleeding miney for years.

CEO to median employee compensation is over 120:1... keep busting your a$$

They seem to find the least empathetic or inspiring people for this position.

Callaway Golf has announced significant layoffs impacting approximately 250 employees globally. This reduction represents about 12 percent of its total workforce. The company also revealed $52 million in cost-reduction initiatives. CEO Chip Brewer stated the changes were necessary for the company's future. Research and development roles were among the least affected by the workforce reduction.

Can we see if we can drop it under 3.2?

Today, it is trading in the 33’s. 3 years and 9 months and the stock is down over 50%. One has to believe the board doesn’t know what it’s doing or they are holding on for a sale.

Who knew when we pushed her out after WP acquisition she would come back to ruin the company.

Her vision and execution is terrible only worse than her hiring. Congrats on spending more time cutting costs than improving the products and sales teams.

What does she care, 80 million richer at the end of this year (20 mil a year), surrounding by minions that won’t give necessary feedback and horrible hires in HR, CFO and CAO.

Why is our CEO getting massive bonuses again? Where is the “shareholder value” in losing investors money???

Comparison of $1000 invested 5 years ago

JPMorgan Chase (JPM): $2,040 (+104%)
Citigroup (C): $1,861 (+86.1%)
S&P 500 (SPY): $1,778 (+77.8%)
Bank of America (BAC): $1,734 (+73.3%)
Wells Fargo (WFC): $1,729 (+72.9%)
High-Yield Savings: $1,220-$1,246 (+22-24.6%)
PNC Financial (PNC): $1,128 (+12.8%)
U.S. Bancorp (USB): $971 (-2.9%)
Key Takeaway: JPMorgan Chase significantly outperformed its peers and the broader market, while the S&P 500 would have beaten most individual bank stocks. The high-yield savings account would have provided steady, predictable returns but lagged behind the best equity performers. U.S. Bancorp was the only stock in your list that actually lost value over the 5-year period.

KKR chose Amit Singh to lead the next round of layoffs. Which departments will experience the greatest headcount reduction, now "Shankar the Protector" is gone?

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.

The markets clearly love us

What would happen if it hits 15? CEO firing I presume at least, maybe a PE takeover

It certainly wasn't Hans, but I only know him and Dan. What about the ones before?

During Hans first year as CEO of VZ stock price increased by 6.80%. ($51.73 to $55.25)

Under Dan the Man Schulman, the stock is up 13.6% since his first day in October! Dan needs the nobel prize of winning as CEO!

Jacksonville Transportation Authority CEO Nat Ford will continue to receive his executive salary for an additional month. This decision comes as the JTA faces a significant financial crisis. The transit authority is planning up to 194 layoffs. Service cuts are also anticipated due to the financial strain. Ford's extended pay period will overlap with these difficult measures.

He never did that at Fiserv. Did ML even go around to different Fiserv sites to engage with employees? Why was he given the CEO job again, it's very obvious he wanted to run a bank instead judging by his LinkedIn activity. Horrible decision to make him CEO.

I mean, ya, why not?

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.

Bill Burr on AI: “Why don’t they make an AI CEO? They’re making way more than all the workers. You’re going to save way more money replacing one guy. Why don’t you do that? Because it’s not for us. It’s for them.”

When leadership basically sawed the marketing department in slices last year, it made zero sense to any of us in the trenches. But honestly, things were such a gong show before that we were just naively optimistic that anything had to be better. Spoiler: it’s not.

We've got SL, who is basically the CMO-in-waiting but for some reason hasn't been given the official bump. KM seems super sharp but is completely stranded over in Sales, and those guys literally do not understand what marketing actually does. I barely hear a peep out of MK. And SW? Complete ghost. MIA.

I’m stuck on the SW side of the fence. The only time we ever hear from the guy is when he forwards those generic HR "please fill out the engagement survey" emails. Oh, but he did recently promote our leader to VP. And this new VP? He struts around making it blatantly obvious that he's the real boss and treats SW like a total puppet. It’s a super weird flex considering the absolute dumpster fire our team is currently in. SW has to be completely out to lunch to let himself be managed upward by a guy that even Ono must have known was wildly incompetent.

This whole setup is completely hosed and totally unsustainable. I know the CEO mentioned he has people doing an audit of the org structure, but come on this mess has to be the very first thing they noticed. What exactly is the hold-up? Is he just waiting out a non-compete so he can parachute in an ex-IBM buddy as CMO?

People are already jumping ship because they are completely burnt out. On my team, we've legitimately talked about pulling a coordinated mass resignation just to force upper management to wake up and see how toxic our VP is. But let's be real, the job market is absolutely brutal right now, and nobody wants to risk their paycheque to make a point.

Has anyone heard anything? Any plans, rumblings, or just a shred of hope? Sorry for the rant, I'm just at my wits' end here.

He is no good. He likes smoke and mirrors. He will try to sell bits and pieces to make his numbers and look good. He has no idea what he is doing. PNC - Fiserv both are so happy he is gone.

He is not able to sell any ai products

He is not attending AI world. he is aftaid to show his a-s face to customers and investors.

These rookies will be used until no juice left and will let them go.

It’s been almost 3 years since the first round of major layoffs that changed everything. The layoffs have continued more “silently” twice a year since then. Not a single person feels secure or appreciated anymore. Things at TU were pretty good prior to Nov 2023. Many VP’s and SVP’s were decent humans who cared about their people. Now it’s every man for themselves, the hunger games culture. I firmly believe our CEO enjoys his legacy as the hatchet man. It’s true that we are all id--ts to stay, but leaving is not that easy. Remember that they are spending hundreds of thousands on this boondoggle India trip. I’ve seen the numbers.

It makes me happy that some people in this world are FINALLY starting to wake up to this facade. I've known for for a few years that things weren't going well here, even though management would try to deceive me. It appears that Cramer finally saw the light:

"I can't counsel owning that… Jim Currier is the CEO, and he told Phil LeBeau three times that things were going quite well and they weren't. And I heard they were going quite well and they weren't, and so therefore I have nothing good to say about Honeywell Aerospace".

This excerpt was quoted from this article:

https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/jim-cramer-says-t-counsel-112244525.html

Cramer has nothing good to say about Honeyhell Aerospace? That makes (at least) 2 of us.

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.

After taking walgreens private, sycamore apponted mike motz as ceo... motz previously ran staples us retail another sycamore-owned business.

that history is worth watching... sycamore bought staples in 2017. it later pursued a recapitalization that would add about $1B in debt while allowing sycamore to pull about $1B of its investment back out. genius...

Walgreens employees are now seeing some similar things... tighter costs. org changes. job cuts. more work moving overseas. heavy focus on opex.

some folks here on layoffs.com here have already started calling it Staples 2.0.

this does not mean walgreens will follow the same path as staples. but sycamore owns both companies. walgreens is now led by the former ceo of staples us retail...

the similarities make staples a useful case study for us who are trying to figure out what maybe coming next.

Anyone else remember when Marsh Carter was the CEO.
How well the company did . great raises and bonuses.

The company never had layoffs when he ran the place

Q3 results are way off. CEO will tell a story on earnings that it is a hardware expectation. Layoffs will be large & supply chain logical. High cost country resources & SG&A like technicians and vehicles/fleet will be resized.

Someone asked CEO if employment would be affected by a project that was going on and CEO said he wouldn't know until the team reported back in mid Sept

What were they talking about

this person was pretty much spot on:

https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kxe5swhw

Q2 sales will lack both plan and the latest exec forecasts. Substantially. SVP of sales and several Director / Sr. Directors in sales will finally be fired in August. Not for missing the target, but for missing their own forecasts now several quarters in a row.

Q2 sales didn't not meet forecasts or plan. SVP of sales fired.

ARR in the current quarter will shrink vs end of previous quarter (for the first time). That will be the catalyst for the bigger changes:

That did happen (almost). Didn't quite shrinnk, but was flat within Q2 and YTD

CEO still believes that "product is fine, everything else is the problem". He'll be fired, too. Timing just depends on interim and long-term succession plan. Nobody will miss him as he's been over-promising on outside investment / recapitalization / acquisition and under-delivering.

That happened today.

Who's having that review?

Big shocker folks. Our company is worth less and less each day under Enrique Lores. The layoffs did nothing but lose the company more value. Can this guy do anything right? Serious question.
