Are completely useless. That is all.

Fellas -
I'm joining BNY as a Sr. Director based in NY, and after seeing all the negative posts here, I am seriously reconsidering (I've got another offer from a smaller regional bank).
What's your take/suggestion on joining BNY as a Sr. Director and future progression?

Many employees at Qualcomm appear to lack the energy, enthusiasm, and sense of urgency needed to drive innovation and remain competitive. The company should consider a structured workforce renewal strategy, replacing approximately 25% of its workforce annually based on performance and business needs, while recruiting fresh technology graduates from leading universities.

There is also a concern that some senior employees may be more focused on their personal business interests, such as real estate, finance, and restaurants, than on their core responsibilities. Meanwhile, others continue to enjoy high salaries, bonuses, and benefits without demonstrating the expected level of productivity or innovation. Need to cut many directors and managers positions too. Qualcomm earning per employee is significantly lower compared to the same sector.

Qualcomm needs a stronger performance-driven culture that rewards commitment, accountability, and innovation, while creating opportunities for young, talented professionals to contribute and grow.

Rumor is that there’s a directors only call in an hour

All RVPs, many Directors and frontline as well, Region Finance completely gone, SMH. HQ chopping also. Pretty bad morale all around. Supposedly not done until the end of the week our group was told. Another round in early 2027

30 minute meeting - i think it's time

What say?

So the list is still not finalized yet? Any director level folks here, can you confirm?

I'm a Director (level 13) and have had absolutely no inclusion/participation in anything RIF/layoff related. Weeks ago were asked by our VP boss to give very brief rundown of what each of our direct reports was working on. That was it.

I don't know if one of my direct reports is getting laid off until they actually are.

Found this buried in an older thread's replies, I thought more people should read this, as this question gets asked a lot. The OP is @e2+1m2gtzksc.

Suddenly you will see All happened when all the mysterious people showed up in the team ,

One mystery Person joined as director, replace your manger . One Mystery SVP joined . After few days you will see all new and mysterious people joined in your team . The. Real game starts , everyone from your surroundings vanish one by one showing absurd reasons from the management.

Everyone got replaced with all these mysterious people. All the bootlickers remained . After few days by the talking you will get to know that they all knew each other well before. It was all strategy and well planned

Good luck to those who are still there and cleaning all the dirt from the boots . So don’t be outcast and start doing what the management want you to do.

Hey this site isn’t very productive. You just need to know how to ask for assistance better. I asked my director to not be laid off and she said she won’t lay me off. Maybe everyone can try that

What is the process? Dir to senior director?

Just heard we got a new director and she is from there. Why is all senior management affiliated with this school?

(this is publically available information)

This round of layoffs is only for managers, directors, and VPs, not ICs. Have you heard of any ICs getting laid off too?

Vp or director?

When somebody said this round will be just managers, directors, and VPs, I knew it sounded too good to be true. Not only was it not true, so far I haven't heard of a single manager or higher who were affected, at least in my area. And to think, this could have been a useful layoff.

I worked as a senior director for centene for almost 9 years. There are several VPS that I would love to see handed their backside and would love to know if there is a list of VPs who have been let go, laid off, or left the company. There are several of them that I would love to see them on. The welfare line are absolutely broke. They deserve it.

Because all I have seen are Directors and below let go or impacted. But the ones that planned it out seem to still be here. The org chart looks like a broom now instead of a pyramid.

There was a recent director meeting which was stated "we have to many sales manager" expect cuts here.

Was shocked to learn in some areas, the person running the layoff call was not from hr, but a Director forced to hold the call. Didn't even know who or how many laid off.

Wouldn’t that money be better spend buying off the grandpas and grandmas?

Managers are gone. Directors to IC. 30 to 1

I heard there were quite a few layoffs in Audit Services today. Is this true? I’m hearing several directors, the Lead (Senior Audit Manager) position is effectively gone and those in the position were either demoted or laid off.

I’m also hearing PNC NMC next?!

I watched a Senior Director that was supposed to work all week go from green this morning to the gray x. Their schedule is blocked off indefinitely (I was going to schedule a meeting).

What are the tells?

I'll start:

I'll paraphrase because I can't remember the exact sentence but it was a director that said something along the lines that he will "get more involved" again after being a total no show for the least 5 years and later when the culling started fu---d over hundreds of people.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I really wish I'd asked him on that call what the fu-k he actually ment.

Zillow Group has announced significant layoffs, impacting 91 jobs in Washington state. The majority of these cuts are concentrated among senior-level employees, including directors and principal roles. Product and engineering departments are most affected, with senior positions like Product Manager and Software Development Engineer seeing the largest reductions. The company stated these changes are to better position Zillow for the future and move faster. Some terminations are also a result of relocating or contracting out operations.

Started earlier this morning but VP, AVP, Sir Dir movement in Workday underway now.

I don't expect Associate Directors and Local Managers to be fully moved until later week(s) but we'll see.

Next round will be layoffs focused on VPs of all levels and Directors of all levels. Any director with a small number of direct reports to be fired.

Looks like another team may be on the chopping block tomorrow. Just received the “Business Update” email from Director.

There were several posts about the rumors of SMgr, AD, D & SD. Are they still on the target lists for the 2026-2027 RIFs?

BP ex-chair Manifold planned to remove Director Amanda Blanc

Job title downgrades coming for VPs of all levels and Directors of all levels. The company needs to save money and this is the logical way.
