OVV has assembled the weakest and most incompetent Executive Team in the history of Oil and Gas! Doug, please come back and clean this mess up!

Any word on other higher executives getting let go and how much will that impact the people under them really? Will whole teams be impacted?

What a joke, absolutely tone deaf Execs making this stuff up.
RIF 13k, now to appreciate you learn how to use AI tools

What’s your reaction the the big SLT restructuring email?

There are senior leadership firings that are not making sense. Talented people that go above and beyond with a lot of seniority or experience. They must be getting fired bc they just earn more. This is another huge blow to morale, why would I want to move up in a company like that?

Executive level leadership is woefully unqualified and terrible messaging.

Ken is out and Ken is in as CFO.

Because of pressure from the US administration, SAP stopped most DEI programs in 2025. And now, two. Executive Board members will “step down” or “not renew contracts”.

Gina is a woman and was compassionate towards trans employees so she’s gone. We will not see a female executive board member for a long long time.

Alam is a person of color and not a Christian. He is gone as well. We will not see a person of color or a non-Christian in the executive board anytime soon.

In any case, LGBT members never make it to important positions within SAP so we won’t see them in the executive board either.

They needed Gina only to bring performance management and destroy most of the employee benefits. And they needed Alam to initiate multiple reorganizations after Juergen Müller was given the boot.

What changes do you think will happen in teams now? Will they only consider white Christian males for leadership roles from now on? And what about LGBT employees? Is SAP starting a program to remove all migrant employees in Germany? The demands from the US administration are pretty straightforward and the SAP board has done nothing but comply.

The executive joined The Walt Disney Company in June 2022, and her departure anticipates a C-suite shakeup when Josh D’Amaro becomes CEO next month.

Some exotic location, while other resources get cut!

Seems that the only thing that might save the stock going to $60 would be a CEO announcement, on the other hand, that might just send the stock to $50. Especially if someone internal gets promoted, cause these execs here are WORTHLESS.

What does the team team team think? Team? AAR that please. LOL.

Let's just bring in another 50 ex-Cisco sellers and a few more CAPidiots. Cause we have made a strategic investment to pump you up.

No departure date in the org email and all of a sudden she is gone....canned? What other execs are next?

Once again the stock has fallen off the map, it was a t a yearly low of $119 earlier today and is not moving out of 120 range - so what next for layoffs? The market is down in general but it's hurting us more than others due to our do-nothing executive weather team. How long before they do the next round???

Isn't this the 3rd new Optum CA president in less than a year??? Or am I getting confused?

How did people get exec roles in Humana Digital yet have no leadership, experience, accountability or vision/plan to deliver Humana Digital products or create a solid organization to deliver / support? They must have been great talkers during interviews - but the Board and C-Suite need to bring in leaders for Digital! Who is in place there now are awful - what were you thinking??

Kroger, the largest traditional supermarket chain in the United States, has appointed Greg Foran as its new Chief Executive Officer following a year-long search. Foran is best known for running Walmart’s U.S. operations from 2014 to 2019, where he oversaw a turnaround that delivered 20 consecutive quarters of comparable sales growth across more than 4,600 stores. His appointment signals that Kroger is looking to borrow from its biggest rival’s playbook as the grocery wars intensify.

Funny how a DEI question was asked about female execs and all the male execs on the stage struggled to answer 😄

Took a long long while for DH the sleazy breezy Chief People Officer to be quietly turned out to pasture… He must have had a really ironclad type of contract to avoid being sacked for decades of behavior complaints… or he knew some excellent intel on the ELT as protection.

So.. good luck new lady. The bar was low so you can just not be a creep and you’re already doing better than the last guy

When senior executives leave, the change rarely stops there.

Leadership shifts reset strategy, trust, and expectations. That reset naturally moves to the director level.

Directors are visible. They execute strategy and often carry the imprint of the leadership that promoted them. In transitions, that association matters.

The signs are familiar. New operating rhythms. More focus on accountability. Questions about why work exists, not just how fast it moves.

This does not always lead to exits. Sometimes it shows up as stalled growth, role changes, or sudden performance narratives.

What many miss is that this is not about personalities or praise. It is about how large organizations actually operate. Leadership change is a business process, not a sentiment exercise. It also exposes a harder truth. Many people in senior roles never fully understood the business to begin with.

Titles offer little protection in these moments. Alignment does.

Executive exits make the headlines.
The real change happens one level down.

Verizon hired a chief AI officer some time back named “Mano”. He is no longer with Verizon anymore.. what happened? Anyone in his department knows?

Performance reviews done by direct manager but pending review by executives?

Our entire executive team should be forced to watch this in a loop for 24h straight. This video should be broadcasted all over the TVs in every qcom office.

We have had too many years to fix the company but nothing has changed only more bad decisions by management and quality/recall issues by engineers. I feel like we are going to be the next sears. I wonder which company will buy the new corporate buildings in Dearborn few years from now. Very sad story indeed. Thanks Farley and the rest of the executive leadership team for this…

Does anyone know what these people actually do? They ask the people underneath them what they’re doing every week and they report it up the chain – but I have no idea what their actual job is other than passing information like a bad game of telephone. And they all backstab and talk about each other. We are talking about 50 to 60-year-old men and women who do nothing but spread gossip and back step. It’s the weirdest situation in any corporation I’ve ever been in.

The Young Professionals Association of Louisville will begin a leadership search. Executive Director Grace Huneck is stepping down. Her departure is planned for this spring. The organization seeks a new leader. This search aims to fill the Executive Director role.

OpenText announced its board has appointed Ayman Antoun as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board, effective April 20, 2026, positioning the veteran technology executive to lead the company’s next phase of cloud modernization and enterprise AI-focused growth.

Antoun brings more than three decades of operating and transformation experience across global technology organizations. OpenText highlighted his tenure at IBM, where he most recently served as President of IBM Americas from 2020 to 2023, overseeing the company’s largest regional business across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America. OpenText said his leadership at IBM included driving advancements spanning cloud, infrastructure, cybersecurity, cognitive solutions, and digital modernization. Antoun also previously served as President of IBM Canada and General Manager, Global Technology Services, and spent time in telecom as Senior Vice President of Business Market Sales at Bell Canada from 2013 to 2015.

Antoun will succeed James McGourlay, who has been serving as interim CEO. OpenText said McGourlay will remain in the interim role through the transition and then move into a role within the company’s Executive Leadership Team. The company also said P. Thomas Jenkins, currently Executive Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer, will return to the role of Chair of the Board following the CEO transition.

OpenText’s board described the appointment as the outcome of a thorough CEO search process aligned to the company’s strategy and leadership needs, emphasizing Antoun’s experience with large-scale modernization efforts and his relationships across public and private sectors. Antoun, in comments released by the company, pointed to OpenText’s product portfolio and global client base as advantages as organizations place greater importance on trusted data for AI and business operations.

Antoun holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Waterloo and is a graduate of Harvard Business School’s Executive program in financial analysis, business management and strategic planning. He currently serves on the boards of TD Bank and CAE.

Ayman’s deep enterprise technology and software expertise and decades of leading large-scale global transformations will be a catalyst for OpenText’s next phase of growth.”

“On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank James for his steadfast leadership as Interim CEO and for the strong results we are realizing by his commitment to our clients.

“The Board’s CEO Search Committee conducted a thorough CEO search, assessing a strong and diverse slate of global candidates against the Company’s strategic direction to identify the right leadership fit. We were impressed by Ayman’s experience leading major technology organizations, particularly in cloud and digital modernization, along with strong international relationships across public and private sectors. It became clear in our conversations with Ayman that he is uniquely positioned to advance the Company’s leadership in enterprise AI during our pivotal phase of growth.”

David Fraser, Lead Independent Director, OpenText, and Co-Chair of the CEO Search Committee

“OpenText’s core product portfolio, which is the foundation for training agentic AI, combined with its worldwide client base offers the company a competitive advantage as trusted data is now essential to how economies, nations and businesses operate around the world. I am energized by the opportunity to lead OpenText into its next chapter and look forward to working with the Board and leadership team to accelerate the Company’s growth strategy and deliver long-term shareholder value.”

Ayman Antoun, incoming Chief Executive Officer, OpenText

Dan, respectfully, you represent all of us and I was a little embarrassed by your appearance on the HBR panel at Davos. For next time, here are 3 pieces of advice:
1.) Shave.
2.) Sit up. Don't slouch. Posture's a huge non-verbal.
3.) If wearing a black top, thoroughly brush it off before go-live.
What was on display did not seem to represent the focus and determination of Verizon employees to restore this company to greatness. Thanks.

Lots of rumblings from both consulting firms and at higher levels in Houston that a significant amount of Shell’s GoA assets in 2028 reach an opex/profitability threshold that will require the ELT to decide whether to divest or commit to cradle to grave with P&A and decommissioning that may far exceed 10 Billion dollars.

Wisdom of crowds and insiders.
What assets get divested?
Can Shell do marginal production management?
Will Shell ride the Idol Iron Clock?

Other interpretations and ideas welcome

Remember it’s not us vs each other. It’s the have vs the have nots, or top vs bottom.

The execs don’t have to badge in, they have dedicated offices, they don’t track hours, they negotiate their pay, and the list goes on.

The consequences of how layoffs have been handled, the lack of a sound strategy, and the plummeting stock price are resulting in a major loss of talent. Coworkers are leaving for Google, Healthcare Organizations, other tech companies etc. Solutions Architects, Technical Expertise, Managers with specific insights, and others that formed teams built out over the last few years are exiting stage left because of a lack of confidence in leadership, no clear pathway forward, ridiculous bureaucracy, and hollow talking points from the Executive Team. As a result much of the effort and resources that went into building teams for new services and technologies over the last few years is now a clear and abject waste of resources and time, resulting in missed opportunities and long term damage in the marketplace.

Dont trust anyone do what u can and move on this place is crumbling from within. All the executives suites fault but everyone pays for there clueless ideas.

Have GC and PC been laid off yet?

With all the money that execs have burned on RTO, a new Global HQ, and the stock tanking because that’s all Stankey knows how to do, how are feeling about bonuses?

Are we going to be paying for RTO, new HQ, and our horrific work culture out of our bonuses?

Don't you all have your SIX SIGMA Black Belts!!!! Don't you all know how to code after 2020!!!! c'mon each initiative by Executive management have really delivered!!! You all can go into the ring with ANY color SIX SIGMA belt I am sure of it!!
