#executives

Have sh-t for brains. Why does WF leave them in positions where they can continue to drag the company down. They two giant boat anchors obstructing innovation.

Time to put my skills to work for good instead of evil.

I just wonder how the executives in the health insurance industry sleep at night? When your day consists of:
“How can we turn a bigger profit from the tax money that’s supposed to go to the poor starving sick people?”

Please do your jobs and investigate this corporation. We want to see Executives held accountable. We want to see corrupt Executives in handcuffs!

Over the past year, George Kurian has sold a total of 59,825 shares of NetApp Inc and has not made any purchases of the stock. The company's insider transaction history reveals a pattern of 33 insider sells and no insider buys over the same period.

If the number doesn't look good, here is the upside. Disappointing Q3 will guarantee RA for Arvind and much of the executives.

Many believe that the board/HY has a medium term headcount goal, a specific number to which they'd like to reduce the domestic internal employee numbers to. If so, what's your guess? I think it's around 120k. Basically two more years of downsizing. Sometime around 2030 the current regime bails with huge golden parachutes and a real team of executive leaders is brought in to grow the business.

Scene: Doors of the Canonsburg office swing open. Three members of the Lollipop Guild emerge, wearing matching puffy vests, untarnished hard hats, purple sneakers, and holding enormous lollipops. Behind them, a banner reads: "Congratulations on your retirement! Please don't come back."

Lollipop Guild member #1:
"Yinz gather 'round. The day we dreamed of has arrived!"

Lollipop Guild member #2:
"Wake up, you sleepyheads, get out of bed! The nightmare of meetings and micromanagement is dead! "

Lollipop Guild member #3:
"No more surprise calls at half past three! No more, 'Let's circle back' endlessly! No more impossible deadlines to meet! No more getting tossed under the bus in the street!"

Lollipop Guild member #1:
"They would ask a bunch questions and change plans on Friday after four, then ask why the numbers weren't better than before!"

Lollipop Guild member #2:
"To your face, they would treat you like family with a smile so sweet, then cut three departments before we could eat"

All in song:
"Ding do-g, the exec is gone!"

So Meeten B SVP in Fusion (AI) is out in 2 weeks, Jim D GVP (RightNow) is out as well with him.
To the chopping block.

All these leadership hires from GM and Stellantis are d-mb as rocks. So tired of them telling long time employees how brilliant their prior company was and how d-mb Ford is. And the GM Club can stop snickering about our decisions, systems, etc. It wasn't too long ago they were fired from their old company. If they were so talented, they wouldn't be here. Go back to where you came from!

Ok so it’s been a sh-t day and days we know. But don’t forget it’s the gleeful townhall tmrw.

What’s you betting on the first words out of any exec.

My bingo card has

• what an exceptional quarter and it’s all thanks to you
• we have you to thank for this
• it’s now time to execute

Has anyone been to the new Headquarters in West Palm Beach. By the way, Florida is not a core location unless you are an executive looking to not pay state taxes! Am I right Krystos

Executives publicly say Guyana is a once in a life opportunity and then beat up teams internally and compare everything against Guyana. It makes zero sense.

Someone needs to tell the executives we HAD a very deep technology bench when it came to heavy oil. HAD because we just fired everyone in Canada. We divested Chad. What are they smoking?

After all this -> https://lnkd.in/p/g_Ra3Znm IBM management still laid her off (my guess is manager had a target number and he had to save his a-s). My problem is with this narrative of large tech companies (IBM in particular for years now) even with quarter on quarter profits doing selective layoffs to protect their executives and their bonuses (not a real layoff in the sense) and we go on linked-in and praise them and normalize it , where does this really end (cause everybody now start doing the same since they know nobody can go bad mouth them in public) because of their sheer size and need to be visible and employed through linked-in.

Finally. It's here. Part of my Opentext AI mandate to learn AI. This is what I have learned.
There is now an AI tool to replace ELT. It can't do any worse and Opentext get instant cost savings by replacing the entire Suite C level with AI. That's like 30% cost savings.
I wonder how the ELT feel about this bright new future.
The board does not need any technical experience. Just upload data and ask OpenExecutive for decisions like what they normally do.
Lower management just follow blindly as normal as we are not allow to question the ELT.

A couple of the leaders that “retired” have been near the top of the wireless organization pyramid for a long time. Does anyone know whether this is the just the usual game of leadership musical chairs or whether effective change is coming?

What we want:

1. For American Citizens to not be replaced with Non-Citizens
2. For American Humans to not be replaced with AI
3. For Health Insurance Corporations to do much better at stopping Fraud, Waste, and Abuse
4. For Health Insurance Corporations to stop delaying and denying legitimate patient health claims, regardless of the cost
5. For Health Insurance Corporations to out patient health before cost savings and shareholder profits
6. For Health Insurance Executives to stop being paid anything greater than $1 million per year (remembering that 85% of their salary is coming from government funded tax payer dollars)
7. For costly Data Centers to not use up so water to be used for energy source*
8. For Data Centers to pay their own way when it comes to electricity*

• The last two items are not within the direct control of health insurance corporations, although they have a large hand in lobbying and campaigning for Data Centers to be placed all over the country, including (and especially) within the same states for which they operate.

We haven’t had an all hands meeting for years and years. Executives are too afraid to face us. Cowards. They know they can’t defend their actions and that they have zero support from the employees they “lead”. They truely are legends in their own minds. Pathetic.

According to Centene’s public filings, Secretary and General Counsel Christopher Koster sold:

• Aug. 18: 47,603 shares — ~$3.11M
• Aug. 26: 56,500 shares — ~$3.78M

That’s roughly $6.89 million in eight days.

Source: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CNC/insider-transactions/

And nope, not a duplicate. Second trip to the serving line. This guy is hungry.

Centene’s 2026 proxy also reports roughly $16.4 million in total compensation from 2023–2025.

Does this mean Koster is leaving? No idea. There’s no public filing saying that. Maybe it’s routine diversification. Maybe he wants a yacht. Maybe his financial adviser just discovered the SELL button.

But after layoffs, outsourcing, leadership changes, and Mission Simplify Mission Sellify, the timing is at least worth noticing.

The filings are public. The transactions are real. The motive is unknown.

Chris, if there’s a third plate, NoCenteam will be watching the buffet.

So executives are ruining the lives of colleagues who they have worked alongside for years maybe even pretended to be genuine friends with for pure greed. People whose family life may be ruined, homes lost, unable to pay medical bills etc. Do any execs have personal ethics or morals? Why don't any stand up? They go to church each Sunday with their families but turn the other way. Sad people.

When is his last day.... his linkedin posts are quite telling

Rob Thomas sold ~1/3rd of his shares a few days ago.

https://www.reddit.com/r/IBM_Employees/s/Gml6EXiZL8

What does he know?

So LP is on a Europe tour. Do these things really make a difference to the bottom line/ROI/customer decisions at all - or just useful for sycophants to post photos on LinkedIn?

A group of energy companies is meeting at the White House tomorrow in and effort to develop a plan to lower gasoline prices.
I’m sure Go Go will be there because they’ll need someone to bring coffee and donuts to other executives.

So, why do so many ex-Humana executives and leaders now work for Centene? Seems fishy? Didn’t they have to sign an ND (non-Competitor Disclosure agreement) when they left?

Executives are gathering in RWS for final lists and next steps.

I know there is a group meeting on product management initiatives (Netsuite). So come next Monday it’s happening

Who replaces MKW? Obvious choice right now is EB

Upstream CN? BK, RB?
CFO EB -> JG
Downstream AW?
Subsurface JK?
Wells JS?

Turnaround, Capital Projects, FE movements probably not from retirements as those guys are pretty young still

MN and ES roles probably just go away and save the company millions

Who else is seeing 50-100% turnover on certain teams? Expected to continue? Not to mention executives turning over like crazy or hopping to new roles internally.

So that's another SVP down the drain for Managed Services. Did this one even last six months? Anybody have any details on why he's getting the boot so early?

So heads are rolling. Ashlee is out effective immediately as Chief Compliance Officer. Interim to be announced tomorrow.

I’ve heard he is a talented claims executive who makes sure workers are taken care of.

Is their strategy to hire more VPs and fire people who understand the business? Veritas - if you are reading this...you are stressing out the staff and ruining what should be a profitable well run business. Stop hiring d-mb VPs who don't know the business and start taking care of your long-time staff. Your bad decisions are risking the point of no return. Who's going to buy this business when our competitors can wait for bids and just take our contracts. HMS used to be a great business but everyone who remembers the 'good old days' is gone. The executives are waiting for their big payday and couldn't care less. This is a model of how not to run a business or how to run a decent business into the ground. If you are an executive: Make smarter decisions or resign! The good staff at Gainwell are tired of this sh-t! Veritas should be embarrassed at how this acquisition turned out! You are a bunch of losers!!

AK replacement for mobile

I'm beginning to hear more and more that the BPOs are not performing as expected. The hubs didn't perform as expected so why State Farm chose to go backwards and outsource work no one can explain, intelligently. to us. I guess we should feel better, job security and all, but I don't. I'm hoping SF sees the error in their ways but I have a feeling we'll be laid off long before they figure that out. They told us that the people in the BPOs were highly educated, as if they are better than American workers. State Farm will end up in the 3rd spot sooner than they think if things continue on this way. Who is advising the company? The executives? A consulting firm? Something seems so wrong.

And there is only one african american in board of directors.

what is the excuse?

Nike conducts majority of their business to African Americans.
Nike's sales and future designs are influenced by African AMericans.
Nike acts like they are fair and equitable company but it is evidently not true.

If I went through their profiles in 1990s, I am very sure I will have same impression.

When will Nike star hiring upper management people who are African Americans!!!

Don't just try to sell to African American be opened and fair to African Americans too.

This is 2026 and not 1970

It certainly isn't from the executive payroll.
