Any info around sep -oct cuts? Heard lot of grade changes

I have not figured the how as of yet but we really, I mean really, need to figure out some way to convince CMS and our federal government that there is a much better way than to continue using these very large for-profit health insurance conglomerates (e.g., Humana, United, Elevance/Anthem, Cigna, Centene) that are just siphoning off tax payer’s money while providing very little incentive to increase the health of Medicare members but instead just make overly paid executives and shareholders wealthier.

We also need to convince CMS that those same corporations are doing very little to combat fraud, waste, and abuse.

I know that there are some extremely smart people on here that are also not happy with these same corporations as to the way are now doing things. Yes, there may have been a day when you were proud of the work they were doing. But those are days from memory and you will recall those are from half a decade or more since.

I believe the longer things drag out, the ship will not right itself; it will only get worse for the Medicare members and also worse for American citizen employees. Now, is the time to come up with an action plan and begin implementing.

Unfortunately, it would probably be too difficult for us to be able to network and meet up as a large group. So, each person will probably need to smartly come ip with ways to legally and peaceably chip away at these corporations from many different angles to bring them down and/or convince CMS and Federal Government that these large for-profit corporations (e.g., Humana, United, Elevance/Anthem, Cigna, Centene) are NOT the way to go.

What is one thing we need to keep doing and one we need to change?

Keep - my paycheck coming
Change - The entire leadership team

Hearing there were leadership calls yesterday where people were briefed on large scale layoffs. Anyone heard anything about this? Seems like every sep/oct massive changes happen here!

In a series of last minute team meetings members of Marriott Customer Engagement Centers teams , Office of Consumer Affairs, Case Resolution Team, and Social Media were told their entire team is being eliminated. In the openings remarks of the meeting the Sr. Executive leading the meeting referred to Marriott's 2026 "Growing Forward" initiative. A complete insult to the intelligence, dedication, hard work, of the Customer Engagement Centers "best of the best". Options to apply for new roles under the restructured organization were discussed. The job openings will be opened to the public. There will be fewer openings than the positions being eliminated. All roles for these teams will officially end on November 23, 2026.

I'm sure some of us are thinking that VGS is coming back soon, and it would be a validation of sort. Maybe some newer folks can chime in that think otherwise. I'm not looking forward to big changes with the holiday coming soon.

Thoughts on what is happening in tech? Upcoming org changes, etc., any rumors of layoffs? Wondering the latest.

I currently work on the Medicare side, just went through teams/email organization tree to see what impact 9/4 had. All of inside sales were wiped out, and field sales are very few. What changes have you noticed in your department?

THIS AUTUMN…
THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER.
THE SEARCH. THE SPECULATION. THE SUSPENSE.
WHO WILL BE THE NEXT CMO?
COMING SOON
Only at NetApp.

I've heard there have been some reductions, but can't find any info.

Saw on Fuel that geographical information will be removed from Email names. I think this is a precursor to the Town hall coming.

There will be a relaxation of office mandates and more people will be moving back to remote work as previously announced by Takis.

Removing the Geographical location will prevent others from knowing where someone works from just by their email tag.

What is the timeline for moving all GP execution roles to India? I heard there was a report recently to move in this direction.

Be ready for something big.

Earlier today Joe Russo (EVP & Pres- Global Network &Tech) announced 3 SVPs will be taking retirement. Effective Sept 14th, 2026 new leadership stepping in. More change coming ….

Billions in profits but they need more, will likely be significantly cutting regional Op-Co jobs over the next three weeks touting streamlining and AI as the solution. To continue unlimited growth for their shareholders out of their monopoly over customers

Any updates on Fidelis care? I saw an org chart on workday, and am seeing a lot of changes and restructuring happening. What are the latest updates?

Our plant was recently informed corporate will be coming to discuss upcoming insurance changes. Any ideas of what changes employees can expect?

We were told no more CW in our team and Ai can help with manual work

Another TRM casualty. Just heard the new ED is gone. I am surprised she stayed so long. I was starting to wonder if she had good sense or was just desperate. When I heard what she was working on, I was shocked then I was not. She had a good poker face but it broke after a while. That Harvard and Cornell training didn’t stop her from being relegated to “the sunny committee” leader was almost too shameful to laugh at.

Positive the employee value proposition that will be rolled will only be favorable to the ones who decided what the change would be.

I’m spending more time trying to figure out how to turn features off that were automatically changed on my Outlook. Then I am actually working because everything is so inefficient and such a pain in the @… but I can’t even turn these features off because they come right back! I hate this. I’m absolutely confident and comfortable with change, but this is just unnecessary unproductive and unwanted.

If they’re gonna put this on our computers, then they need to give us the access to make the changes we prefer in regards to Settings. I’m tired of opening up emails just to have to close out a bunch of automatic Outlook calendar invites that don’t make any sense and we’re not requested or needed!

GIVE US ACCESS TO MANAGE OUR OWN SETTINGS SO WE CAN BE PRODUCTIVE AND TURN OFF THESE DISTRACTIONS AND ANNOYANCES!!!

new CIO starts today, was CIO at Fannie Mae

it’s my last week and there are so many emotions.

I’m thankful for the opportunities, sad but relieved it’s over, grateful that I can take time off and figure out what’s next… overwhelmed and afraid of all the unknowns.

it’s a big change. some of my colleagues have shared that they’re “jealous” I’m leaving, but I don’t think they understand what’s really on this side of the equation. I’m freaking out!

those who are leaving this week, what needs to be done for off boarding while wrapping things up?

Whatever the reasons behind his departure, from where I sit Dallas was one of the few senior leaders who seemed to genuinely understand how sales at NetApp needs to function — how the field, partners, customers and internal teams actually need to work together to win.

At a time when the organisation already feels like it is going through constant change, losing someone with that level of commercial understanding raises even more questions about the direction we are heading in.

People keep talking about transformation, high achievement and driving results, but you also have to ask why experienced people who understand the business are leaving.

Who is actually listening to the people on the ground?

It appears that the UK hub is being replaced by India and it being made a main technical hub. I guess we did train our own replacements.

Pendo has announced a significant workforce reduction, impacting ninety employees. This decision represents approximately ten percent of the company's total staff. The chief executive officer cited changes in the technology landscape as a reason for the layoffs. The company is adjusting its operations in response to evolving market conditions.

All I keep hearing from multiple departments is that January is a major reorganization is going to happen company wide, heard from VZW and VZB departments alike, whether a layoff happens this year, appears it might, so the shuffle and changes will happen. Not all changes are bad, more efficient work habits and dead weight, and yes the union has caused a lackadaisical attitude among many not pulling their own weight, a lot a house cleaning needs and should take place if you like it or not, change will happen. This wasn’t my first job and probably won’t be my last.
