Nutanix sales management missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with Broadcom acquiring VMware two-plus years ago. Nutanix executives and senior management absolutely failed at every turn to capitalize on their biggest competitor's challenges. Management's arrogance and lack of understanding of complex sales led to this layoff; nothing else. The AVP level and above needs to be gutted. The Board is complicit in allowing this incompetence to happen and continue for so long. The window to capture Broadcom low-hanging fruit is closed. In fact, Hoc Tan (Broadcom CEO) has turned the tables and is getting Nutanix kicked out of the few larger accounts they were in. Nutanix was already bleeding experienced, accomplished salespeople before the layoff; it will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
There should be an MBA business school case study done on this company for having so badly missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

HOUSTON, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Chevron will award employees a special bonus for operational ‌results so far this year, following the ‌U.S. oil producer's record earnings report on Friday that was boosted by high oil prices from the ongoing war in Iran.

In an internal email on Monday that was seen by Reuters, CEO Mike Wirth praised Chevron staffers ‌for meeting cost-reduction targets, ⁠achieving deal synergies from the Hess acquisition ahead of schedule and operating safely ⁠amid geopolitical upheaval this year in Venezuela and the Middle East

New CEO is going to be on board within the next 60 days, ole Nic's hand picked boot li---rs days are numbered. What's your guess the first boot li---r to get papers?

Jeff Clarke. Will this mean leadership changes reporting to CEO - usually does, look at Five9

We spend a lot of time being reminded what integrity looks like. It would be nice if leadership and government relationships inspired the same confidence.

The public record shows a CEO meeting the Illinois governor, state help on the merger, and the governor’s blind trust later holding Centene stock as the company collected billions in Medicaid dollars.

Interesting optics huh?

No communication no clear updates and Jennifer is no where to be seen apart from a low impact appearance on an all hands with a teleprompter.

Is this really good enough?

I'm seeing a lot of people (some know a lot, others don't have a fckng clue) analyzing the financial engineering the company has been carrying out in recent months. Well, none of that is a coincidence, considering who is at the helm.

Without a shred of admiration, but with all the recognition he deserves, it must be said that our CEO is an absolute wizard when it comes to high-stakes Wall Street finance, and it all goes back to his time running with Carl Icahn.

For five years, our CEO was Icahn’s right-hand legal guy, which is basically like getting a master's degree in corporate warfare from the most aggressive shark in the business.

When you work for Icahn, you are learning exactly how to rip apart corporate balance sheets, we-ponize debt, and corner massive boards into doing what you want.

So when Icahn won that brutal proxy fight against Xerox back in 2018 and ki-led their multibillion-dollar deal with Fujifilm, he planted LP inside Xerox as General Counsel to be his eyes and ears. Over the next five years, LP probably was the secret architect behind some of the wildest financial stunts you can imagine.

We are talking about helping orchestrate a crazy $33B hostile takeover attempt where Xerox, the smaller company, tried to swallow HP using a mountain of structured debt.

The real proof of how savvy this guy is came in 2023 when Icahn decided to cash out and sell his entire share back to Xerox for over $0.5B. Usually, when an activist investor leaves, his people get kicked out the door right behind him. But LP had made himself so indispensable by rewriting the company's entire operational playbook that Xerox couldn't afford to lose him.

FF to 2026, and the company is in a tough spot with the stock down, and the board immediately handed him the keys as CEO.

If anyone knows how to engineer a financial miracle out of a tight corner, it is a guy who spent a decade learning the ropes from Carl Icahn himself.

and many people misunderstood what I meant to convey.

Yes, every corporation is run with CEO to President to VP system. And is not what I was talking about.

But what I meant by breaking up Nike into different segment is to do what GE did.
As many of you were aware, GE was struggling for 15 years because of big conglomerate model that Jack Welch put together. They basically got rid of old segmensts like electronic and appliance to another company. Got rid of finance division. And others that were too many to mention. And concetrated on Aerospace, mostly jet engines. GE Vernova which mostly makes jet turbines. And GE Healthcare.

I suggested that is path that Nike should take too.
Currently, Nike making sandals to $600.00 retro snickers under one umbrell. That is too wide offering for one company to effectively run.
Yes, sell Converse.
License out many products.
Jordan should be brought to performance basketball and performance division. A division for all Nike performance is handled.
Nike ACG and SB and other items should be group together for Nike orient towards young people. Because Nike is doing poor job of reaching out to really young people.
And another division for Nike product that are for mass public like dept store, national chain with lesser level of product but has high volume.
Another division for licensed products including NCAA.

Each division with it s own CEO who has to answer to head CEO but with independence to do whatever it takes to show the results.

Right now GE is finally kicking a-s.

If Nike continues at current path, it will be DOA. Dead on arrival.

you should have left dell already. the company is crumbling and the company only cares about how much the CEO makes. Michael Dell has not done one thing for it employees

I'm the richest woman in America. I have a firm that despises me due to my faults. I have 10 ELT members. Two love only themselves. Each of them loves no one but one is very loyal.

I have a wardrobe that transports me to the “big tent” that I used to reference in 2019…just look at the circus that I’ve created where my pink slips are tickets, the leadership has smoke/mirrors, and the only thing missing from my my wardrobe is a flower that shoots water and a red nose.

I have plenty to eat, a mansion to sleep in, and somehow still can't understand that the only person who still wants me here is me.

He is all over the place. AK is so weird.

These guys tricked all of us investors for years, and now it is time for them to go and to bring Hock Tan in. He is the only one who can save this sinking ship.

It was one year ago that our ceo decided to file a lawsuit against the former company President, CFO & Chief Sales Officer>After 1 yr & $1M in legal fees spent on both sides, the case is heading towards depositions>The only evidence that the defense has produced is a screenshot of a Efast 5500 page>They have deleted texts, spoiled evidence, & there about 10 MoA employees who could be deposed to testify against them. Deck is stacked>They want to settle but MoA wont give a # + I say this settles for $1.5+legal fees split + Non Compete for 10 yrs. Enough to effectively lock them out. there are more cards to play like complaints to Finra, Sec, NYDFs. stay tuned & grab your popcorn. The second act begins in 10 minutes 🎥🎞️🍿

How much did our ex CEO get paid by Google to implement cloud in Japan?
One of the most inexplicable decisions ever made.

Anyone has a guess based on his prior experiences?

Layoffs=Outsource to Indian owned companies and blame AI. Wake up folks your kids will not have opportunities.

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.

First order of business is give everyone a raise and stock options one the stock crashes this fall. Second order of business is to fire all the managers and leaders. 3rd order of business is to get rid of the coffee machines. Jd

Has destroyed my will to work anymore. This place is a he-l hole that will not get better until CR is fired and his entire ELT. This latest round is the d-mbest sh-t they have exposed us to.

Charles Schwab sits on a mountain of cash and still can’t be bothered to pay its frontline people a living wage. CEO Rick Wurster talked about raising salaries because the cost of living keeps climbing… then quietly didn’t follow through this year. Meanwhile the company rolled out a fresh $20 billion stock buyback in July 2025 so shareholders and executives can keep getting richer.
CS&S workers and the rest of the frontline grind every single day under that pressure. But leadership still loves the corporate Kumbaya about “seeing through the customer’s eyes.” Funny how nobody ever has to see through the employee’s eyes while they’re drowning.

No word from Enrique since restructuring and layoffs were announced. No word from him when Stripe made their ridiculous offer. Time is up. Earnings call is tomorrow, our CEO can no longer be hiding. Hopefully he was too busy working on a big plan to turnaround the company and will take everyone by surprise... Or maybe not...

Amazing. Is there anything wrong with the American system? Are we winning?

Enrique was chairman of the board. He did not have equal status with other board members.

To say a Board Chair is "equal" to other board members during a CEO search completely misunderstands how corporate governance works. I am refuting what someone else said to me.

While every board member gets a single vote on the final candidate, the Chairman of the Board has a completely unique and dominant role in the process.

They control the filter: The Chairman selects and directs the executive search committee.

They choose which recruitment firms to use and set the core qualifications for candidates. They decide who makes the shortlist before the rest of the board even sees them.

Controls the Agenda: The Chair manages the meeting schedules, decides which candidates get the most discussion time, and acts as the official gatekeeper of information.

Leads the Negotiations: The Chair is the person who actually sits down to negotiate the final compensation, perks, and contract terms with the chosen candidate.

Becomes the Boss: Once hired, the CEO reports directly to the Chairman.

The Chair is the one who establishes performance metrics, runs executive evaluations, and holds the leverage to initiate a firing.In corporate governance, the Chairman is not just sitting in an equal circle. They guide the entire trajectory of who gets hired, how they are managed, and how the board votes.

Enrique bears greater responsibility for hiring Alex Chriss. To the one troll on this site that probably sits on the comms team, you are wrong on this.

Seeing the Iraq pics on Campus, it looks like Dan Amman will become CEO soon (2026, maybe 2027 latest). His presence was definitely noticeable. And reading his background, he seems next for the CEO job.
Does that mean DW is done soon? With Dan’s financial background, he’ll want an industry leading CFO, not Neil, so maybe finance org will get some relief too. Change is coming!

stock sinking why CEO's nut heads still around? As a stock holder i want them to be fired for their lousy job.

If they cut heads and get another $5B in free cash flow? Personally, doesn’t mean you’re smart to just cut heads, anyone could do it. Where are the new products, the innovation, the “I wanna work there” moments? I still fail to understand how Board supports a one-trick pony.

AK is all over the media doing damage control.

While the bank is seemingly pursuing a direction where employees must return to an office for 60%+ of their time, during today's All Company Townhall CEO Gunjan Kedia announced that remote employees are "grandfathered in". It is unclear the extent of this decision from the leader of the 5th largest bank in the country, and whether employees who were remote but have since been forced into an office in conflict with their own wishes will have the option to return to remote work.

Many employees have been speculating that groups within the company will begin forcing remote employees to pick a home hub location or face termination with cause by end of this year. Will this new direction from the CEO help assuage these fears? Kedia very clearly outlined that remote roles are no longer being hired for with the exception of Customer Service representatives, which apparently is cost effective enough for the bank that the Managing Committee couldn't be bothered to upset these employees lives for the sake of their own commercial real estate investments.

Kedia was also proud to note that the bank is continuing to honor remote employees who have a legitimate medical accommodation, but did not note that this is a legal requirement under the ADA.

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?

The CEO and his imps are now using draconian methods to ensure compliance to the new order. They are tracking attendance to stupid things like claude presenations. If you don't attend you may find yourself on the next "restructuring" list

Dell has a strong fairness result. Its median employee pay is $78,796, and its CEO earns 43 times the median employee pay. Dell also pays employees more than the profit generated per employee. These results give Dell a combined fairness score of 84 out of 100. The main reason for the high score is its relatively low CEO compensation.

Did anyone else see chief of staff hans vestberg in attendance! Great way for him to celebrate after a hard week of layoffs

Who will be the next CEO? If the board lets Khalaf stay until 65 or if they cut him, they need a successor, stat.

Mike Lyons has a Glassdoor approval rate of 70, while Takis has a 41. Takis, our new ceo, has a rating lower than most other CEOs. Is he this bad? Thoughts? Need to plan for my next step if he’s indeed so much worse than Mike Lyons…
