Can we bring Richard back already and get rid of the Temu CEO? What would it take to make this happen?

It was nice to have a leader who led with humility, grace, and reason. One who cared about his employees. Bring back the old white guy!

A new CEO has to show how serious he is about cost cutting and being efficient. And of course that he's going to use layoffs to show that. Never mind that his pay and the bonus he'll get from this will negate the majority of the savings. But what a great first impression, buddy. Great job.

How would I go about doing that? Is there someone I should send my resume to?

SB being axed by the board was the final nail in the reinvention coffin. None of its architects or proponents are left in Xerox (JB,MG,SB, DMP). All gone. The street, analysts, investors, rating agencies and financial institutions have all voted with their feet. The board has finally done their job, but it’s 3 years too late. SB in his 4 years in charge missed every outlook or expectation he set. If he was a sales person or sales manager he would have been in a performance improvement plan after 2 quarters. Instead he continued to have the support of the board as the company kept draining its cash, reserves and future to keep returning funds to shareholders even when all the key metrics and results where going horribly wrong and missing plans and expectations every quarter. Now we have an untried, untested CEO who has never led a sales organisation but primary experience is legal and claim to fame is the proxy fight that stopped the Fuji merger that the board are now desperately trying to make. To put that into perspective when Fuji offered to buy Xerox they offered 40 dollars a share compared to the $1.26 a share now, let that sink in, and LP has been part of that from the beginning. The fact a legal guy is in charge should indicate to all the people still in the cult what the next steps are!!!!! We are in the endgame and none of those outcomes reinvent Xerox they consign it to the history books of what was once a trailblazer

When will Cristiano be fired for his incompetence and silence on the declining stock ?
Aksah and CA completely missed the AI bo-m. Bunch of mo--ns. Time to fire them and sell the company to someone who knows how to manage it.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has begun layoffs across its motion picture, television, and corporate offices. This move is part of a strategic refocus on growth-oriented strategies. The company aims to strengthen differentiated businesses and ROI drivers. Growth areas include Crunchyroll, other anime, and PlayStation adaptations.

Calhoun was Boeing’s CEO up in Seattle. Old Dave put Boeing in a deep hole which they are still in and about put Boeing up on the blocks for good. You know with Calhoun running Nike he will have Nike in the biggest train wreck ever that old Casey Jones the railroad man would have been impressed with.

Did Mike Wirth lose his soul before or after becoming CEO? Or was it just traded in for stock options? Asking for everyone currently dealing with the fallout of his 'leadership'. When did he make the deal with the bad dude downstairs?

LBT owns tons of companies. If he only works part time, why he layoff people working 60 hours per week by excuse of RTO?

Was not Aware of the boards that Ramon sits on. Great read though, coming from this source Too Wow

Heard a rumor that Ayman was caught in disguise walking around the Waterloo office as an employee. Can anyone confirm that or is it another April Fools joke?

Kurt C. Small will be taking over as the new CEO. At least I don't see anything on Google about him being known as a "layoff guy" or anything, but who knows...

Now that we are down one CEO will we lose another one before Chapter 11 filing? Who will be the one holding the pen signing the final page of the chapter 11 :)

Apparently SB has just been told to hit the bricks

VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC director and officer Daniel H. Schulman reported a compensation-related award of phantom stock linked to the company’s common shares. On this Form 4, he acquired 183.933 units of phantom stock at an indicated value of $14.47 per unit through a deferred compensation plan.

Makes me wonder if we shouldn’t replace a lot of C-suite employees with AI.

What’s Going Wrong with FIS

Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) is struggling less with outright business deterioration and more with a sustained loss of investor confidence a poor executive leadership. While financial performance remains stable, growth is modest and not compelling enough to drive a re-rating plus the stock price continues to drop. Now at $46 where under the finer CEO it was 4x higher.

The company is in a prolonged strategic transition following major portfolio changes (e.g., Worldpay), continual layoffs, outsourcing and constant reorganizations leaving it stuck between.

The leadership direction and lack of strategy creates uncertainty about its long-term identity and competitive edge.

Leadership under CEO Stephanie Ferris is weak, directionless and manic and has focused on massive cost-cutting, buybacks, and margin improvement, but investors question whether this is substituting for real organic growth and innovation. As a result, FIS risks being viewed as a financial engineering story rather than a growth company.

Additional pressure comes from over reliance on third party Consulting companies, balance sheet constraints, inconsistent guidance credibility, lack of projected leadership confidence, internal instability and strong fintech competition, all of which reinforce skepticism about execution.

Seems like an ego maniac ---- since he has been on board as ceo the stock has gone 50%. Said he was friends with Apple founder - again at best an exaggerator at worst a lier.

What is likely to happen in the first 90 days of when the perm CEO arrives, big or small splash with a big webcast call or just a e-mail to all staff, any changes expected at the top or the way we work, as now only a few days away

You get 3% or less wage increase while they are living their dream from your sweat and tears. You can’t get paid your incentive pay on time. You will be asked for even higher performance, but no pay increase. It’s the hurtz way.

As the CEO of Hertz Global Holdings (appointed April 2024), Gil West received a total compensation package of $35.18 million in the 2024 fiscal year. The package was largely driven by a $33 million stock award, with a base salary of $1.125 million to $1.5 million, according to Salary.com research and Justia filings.

Compensation Breakdown (Hertz):
Total Compensation: ~$35.18 million.
Base Salary: $1.5 million (annualized).
Stock Awards: $32.3 million in sign-on grants.
Incentives: Target annual bonus of at least 150% of base salary.

From the Detroit News:
Ford Motor Co. reported the value of CEO Jim Farley's 2025 compensation package as $27.5 million - up11% from 2024's $24.9 million.
The total package that Farley, 63, earned in 2025 included an unchanged base salary of $1.7 million and lower stock awards. The package value's increase was attributable to a higher bonus from meeting company objectives, primarily around quality and software revenues per vehicle, according to an annual proxy statement filed Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Dearborn automaker's adjusted operating profit of $6.8 billion, however, was lower than expected because of tariffs and an aluminum shortage stemming from fires at supplier Novelis Inc.
Farley's bonuses increased 2.5 times to almost $5.746 million after the automaker met performance targets, resulting in a 130% company-wide performance factor, which also is attributed as Farley's individual performance factor, according to the report. The CEO previously told employees the achievement would be reflected in white-collar bonuses.
Quality goals included metrics related to the vehicle when it is sold as well as after three months of ownership. Costs related to recalls and warranties have weighed on the automaker's balance sheets, but executives have emphasized the biggest burden is from older vehicles and that new vehicles coming off the line now are some of the company's best-quality products. Ford's executive compensation seeks to incentivize the work being done that year.
The automaker reported the value of Farley's stock awards had decreased at $18.9 million, though a fraction of that has vested so far. The total value could differ based on Ford's stock value when those awards vest after a certain amount of time or, for most, the performance metric is met.
In 2025, the company recorded a net loss of $8.2 billion because of one-time special charges related to redeploying assets for its electric vehicle business. It also distributed profit-sharing bonuses of approximately $6,780 to 56,300 eligible autoworkers and another 1,490 employees who retired last year.
Farley's total compensation amounted to 295 times the median annual total compensation of all Ford employees last year: $93,397. That was up from 253 times in 2024, when the median employee compensation was $98,273.
Farley's package also included almost $1.2 million in other compensation such as use of private aircraft and company vehicles, which was up year-over-year.
Executive Chair Bill Ford's total compensation was $20.3 million in 2025, down from $20.4 million in 2024. The package included an unchanged $1.7 million salary. His stock awards were lower at $14.7 million. Bonuses were up 2.5 times to more than $1.69 million.
The total compensation for Vice Chair John Lawler, who was chief financial officer until Feb. 5 in 2025, was about $11.8 million in 2024, up 26%. His salary was up to $1.3 million. The $7.6 million in stock awards as reported were up. Bonuses were up to $2.2 million.
Chief Financial Officer Sherry House's compensation was $8.4 million, which included a $920,250 base salary, $5.8 million in stock awards and a $1.4 million bonus.
Ford Pro President Alicia Boler Davis, who joined the company in October, had a package valued at almost $19 million. Her base salary was more than $309,000. She received a $3.25 million signing bonus, $14.7 million in stock awards and a $650,000 performance bonus.
Doug Field is Ford's chief EV, digital and design officer. His compensation of $15.3 million was down 1.7%. His base salary rose to almost $550,000. The value of his stock awards was reported lower at $13.9 million. Bonuses totaled almost almost $540,000, a decrease.
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa received a compensation package of about $6.3 million last year after taking over as the top boss of the automaker in June. Stellantis' former CEO, Carlos Tavares, was paid about $14 million by the company in 2025 after leaving the automaker in December 2024.
General Motors Co. hasn't released its executive compensation numbers for 2023. Its proxy statement usually is filed in April. In 2024, GM CEO Mary Barra received a $29.5 million package.
Ford will host its annual meeting on May 14.

How much billion$ was wasted again? I lost count.

No layoffs.

So about 12-13 years ago I told everyone I was the bridge to something else. I told you we had the best claims workforce in the industry, without exception, but the cost of this was too expensive and we didn't need to be that good, but just good enough. I told everyone the days of working at SF for 35 years and retiring was over. I told you most people will never finish their careers at SF and it will just be a place for you to get some work experience and move on to something else. I told you to stop questioning decisions because the people that designed the future state model are much smarter than you. I conned everyone to move to a Hub City or long term growth facility just to turn around and close more offices. I told you our systems could never support a WFH workforce and oops we did it in a matter of days. I artificially lowered rates, bought tons of horrible policies and proceed to loose $27 billion in two years. I then gave myself record bonuses of $20 million and $24 million, the highest of any CEO in America. I cried a lot telling you I had to prove my business model worked and completely trashed the company before I retired. I effectively replaced the entire workforce with burger flippers and the 2040 crew. To cover my tracks and all the horrible things I did, I just "good ole boy'd it" and hired my long time buddy to finish the destruction. You miss me yet? It only get's better from here! Dang it hold on...my secretary if pregnant again....

What if the board had chosen a qualified ceo instead of BDB?

I’m shocked that they just bought another company when they have said publicly many times they will stop for a while (they just bought a new one last week)

How is the ceo able to say one thing in earnings and within a month do the opposite

Mike and his whole team need to read.

Tell people how you really feel about the CEO and the work life

There’s NO Way the board will keep pushing gramps on stage for much longer. Analysts suggest Verizon is shopping execs in Europe. Does anyone keep up with Vodaphone Execs who might make the jump to save a sinking big red?

Only 51%? Surely AK deserves more than that.

How can Steve B still be here when you look at the results (internal) and the stock price (external result) and the trend over last 4 years (consistently down so it is something systematic). I am genuinely asking as to how the dynamics and politics of being a CEO work. I don’t get it

by convincing the board to let her become the chairman, so Mark had no chance of being CEO as long as Fraser is around. Then again, Mark had some sc--wups himself, most notably in failing to automate CCAR reporting (which I believe ultimately led to Whitacre's firing) and some other Reg reporting like using Axiom platform. Plus, the fat fingering. But, Jane doesn't seem to have taken any rap for it, considering she was CEO during the 2024 fiasco of the trillion dollars

Messari CEO Eric Turner has stepped down from his position. CTO Diran Li is now taking over as the new CEO. The company also implemented a reduction in its workforce. This move supports Messari's new focus on artificial intelligence. Turner will stay on to advise the company.

Heard he wants more folks to be in west Texas

I'm hoping to get a big buyout, what's taking this new CEO so long to do something?

What are people expecting to happen in the coming months. With new CEO and next earnings call do you think there will be layoffs and changes.

We make air, openclaw to be new CEO at next coffe talk. Line of doom still dooming. Coffee badge cleared , just get your a-hole to the office.

Hock has spoken, I obey and thank your sir, may I have another?

Wells Fargo supposedly is doing better than it's peers but has declined from 95+ per share to 74 in a short time. The market is showing skepticism, clearly, of the firm and something appears to be wrong , perhaps unknown. I can't imagine being an employee or financial advisor and bringing clients into this mess with an incompetent CEO. To the advisors out there, you're all id--ts.
