DT is funneling free cash flow to build their AI center with Nvidia. Watch for bigger changes by Q3, cuz there's not much more cuts to be made at this point.

Kari leaving the company, but will remain through end of May to support Nicole.
How do you all feel about Nicole becoming the new CHRO?

Things are changing.

Just as we get going, we have to pivot to something else. There's no way to be successful in such an environment and I'm getting pretty tired of it.

A change freeze is starting on the 24th. No clear reason why in the email.

‘Indefinite customer-specific change freeze, focusing on High Touch (HT) customers first, and expanding to others in the coming days/weeks’

Good luck 🫡

Anyone know why the changes to time in office has been delayed? What date will the announcement go out and when will it be effective?

I thought we were going to chop the company up into pieces, not add more?

Adios Geoff! Reveal of new org structure.

Heard that rumor

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.

Anyone bothered to watch the training? Any material changes to the ranking system?

Has this been confirmed?

A lot of economists think the 40 hour workweek is outdated because it was designed for factory labor in the early 1900s. Today most work is knowledge work, and studies show productivity often drops after about 30–32 hours. The 40 hour work week was designed to keep you tired and to control you.

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.

Doubling down because they've already poured billions in, not because the payoff is certain. But there's a major cost and a lot of pain waiting for us at the end of this. The disruption is going to be massive on so many levels. Sure, efficiency sounds great on paper. But one of the really bad outcomes, the one not really talked about, is the loss of invaluable accumulated skills and competence. The people who actually know their stuff, who understand the systems and the history and the nuance? They'll be pushed out or made obsolete. And once that knowledge walks out the door, it's not coming back. AI can generate answers. It can't replace years of hard-earned instinct. But by the time leadership figures that out, the damage will already be done.

How low can it go? Why is Nike so unpopular? What needs to change for it to go up again?

Nothing going our way. So much has changed in an year, what happens next year? How can humans take revenge on AI?

OPW & New England Management consolidation is coming. Things are going to get interesting.

Rambeau out and Mehta takes over two out of three segments. What is going on?

I think we can safely say that we now know exactly as much about more layoffs as we did before the earnings. Yes, we have some numbers, and we know some changes are coming, but when it comes to when, where, and how many, we're still in the same exact position. Great.

Anyone know if the JE calendar was updated for the rest of the year? I heard there was something in April? If IT is really moving toward a 70/30 HIH/US split, it seems like there will be quite a few more JEs coming up. Low key hoping I get the axe 😬

I'm hearing some chatter about re-org in March. Specifically, I am hearing March 23rd being thrown around. No mention of layoffs but usually re-org is synonymous with layoffs. Has anyone heard anything or have anything to share. The is for STS/CET.

My impression: it's time for a change.
Raul has changed the Exec Board, tried a lot of things. Nothing helped.
Now a new leader will be looked for, with a new approach, new cronies.
It might take some month still, but I got a feeling the exchange of the CEO is inevitable.

What's your impression?

this board has gone quiet.have u given up ? get w/da program.come on people.time to change mutualof america for the better.where is the Spirit of America.markets are tanking.revenue hit has been $4,000,000 less since 2/27.perfect storm set up for 3/16

Technicians in the North East that handle Network Assurance/Transport are now being moved to the VZB Union position. Not all details have been fleshed out but your VZW Switch techs will now be VZB

My boss said there is chatter that Microsoft Excel/Word/PowerPoint will be removed from everyone's computer. Google will be the new default.

Are we done with the big changes or is there still more planned and coming soon?

What’s going on with the abrupt leadership change in AEP Texas?

My manager isn't engaging with the team at present, I pinged the other day and not even an acknowledgement

Not joining daily calls etc

Are there changes coming ?

I had high hopes that there would be some improvements with the new regime but they are every bit as indecisive as the last batch of lackeys. The 1B area is a mess with people running around chasing their tails because their new boss lady can't make a decision and the leads are scrambling too. I sure hope Steve Sparkes' powers of observation are sharp and he picks up on the issues in his org soon or he will be the next sacrificial lamb. People are holding on by a thread waiting for change but the good ones are polishing off their resumes and looking externally since the internal postings are a joke.

Can WF take you from a manager job title to a front line employee job title? Hearing this is a game plan. Train your replacement and then lower your job title but keep salary. Remote workers being displaced a month later. Is this allowed? Makes no sense.

Offer full retirement earlier and get the higher salaries off the books. Better to pay full retirement pay than full salary.

Is everyone elses departments and co-workers freaking out about the Google migration next week? There are some people that think this will be the greatest thing with no issues, but I have to disagree....

Like we all didn't see that coming.....

Donna Hart left Ally in January and she was CIO over IPRM. Now Satish is leaving CIO over Tech. What are your thoughts?

CEO change needed to bring new direction

Prepare yourselves! Horizon, the sequel!

Read awhile back about 4-5 big transformations. Haven’t seen or heard much other than the office collapse. Any word on what is going on with that?

VP of STS is out. Does anyone know what happened?
