Was BH's org impacted today? There seems to be a shift in that area under AW.

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.

Written as if there were opportunities inside the bank.

Well Jack-Attack's lock up period for bringing in Accenture grifters is just about at event horizon... So which positions are on the chopping block to make room for the buddies about to come in and save the day? Well, just think about which leaders have suddenly disappeared (quite a few) and you might be able to connect the dots. Someone else will appear magically in their stead with a "different title" as to not warrant lawsuits when someone's role was "eliminated". (Thanks legal eagles you guys are so smart.. LOL). These roles will not be posted publicly as there is a "candidate" waiting in the wings that was already "interviewed".

Cisco has not fired a poaching shot against Buffy-Duffy which is a tale tell sign that they are not concerned about bringing in D- sellers. He's bringing in more Cisco dudes than Bob bringing in IBM dudes. Guess who's getting NA pole position? An Accenture dude! Of course, makes sense now does it not?

Anyone here this?

In December, CW was exited and the role was eliminated by Hill stating it was to remove layers.

Today, role is reinstated and offered to JE from Walmart and is now considered a vital role and critical to the strategy.

Optically speaking, this is horrible. Leadership never beating the allegations that they are just throwing sh-t at the wall and seeing what sticks.

EH proving he isn’t the guy and must now make moves to set up his backfill.

Many senior employees in chandler doing the badge and leave in Arizona with zero consequences. Intel can’t figure this sh-t out

Obviously internal group travel to these non-sales useless conferences still happening during layoff/travel freeze; saw these on linkedin today.

Does Mahoney or whoever the CFO is knows? Folks being gotten rid of should shoot them a message and copy paste the links

Why so many executives and team members from Network moved under Vivek?
What’s the end goal ? There is Network SVP reporting to Vivek. They used to be peers.

AMD is doing a string of acquisitions lately with the most recent one being Taalas. I've heard that things are already dicey internally@amd

But are layoffs actually on the horizon because of these acquisitions ? Any chatter?

Is it just me or is there an active campaign to push out all of the upstream employees?

Signs are surfacing internally about potential layoffs and downsizing.

They have just started to do major Layoffs nationwide!!!!!!!!!!!! They have not announced anything and are telling employees to keep it hush.
Positions are being dissolved, and are encouraging people to apply to other positions within the organization

Seeing multiple leads and SMEs leave with no back fills posted. 2 Directors in IT already leaving in the next week. Nothing posted so no competitive chance for a promotion for someone in their team. Implosion

Seems very very slowly, some of the useless ones are wising up and leaving. ED, AR, and now the CIO (wdf did she do anyway?). Could it be that BL's interests are being weaned out slowly by Meg.

What’s going on in finance? Upstream CFO quits then a lot of mid-career hipos quit. No word from management on what’s going on

We have had our system down since Friday. Nobody knows what they are doing to try and fix it. Customers are going to be so pi---d off when we have to stop shipping because we cant process anything. This sh-tshow is before all the layoffs as well. I have literally been sitting here doing absolutely nothing for 2 days while secretly chuckling inside because I feel like this is karma

BASF managers will decide who to lay off based on complex factors like personal disputes, retaliation, maintaining dominance and status, rivalries, and internal power struggles, often stemming from cycles of stupidity , lack of opportunity, trauma, and loyalty, with layoffs often escalating through social contagion and misidentification in social networks.

Is this end game for career connect or are their other changes pending? Seems like there's less information and features available than before the transformation. What was the point?

Some MD's have saved their bootlickers by moving them around to other people under Nawani but data team members n Markets and Banking and International has been hit. That's all I know.. Not sure who or how many or what titles

Attending meetings this week and the energy and expectations is awful, it’s clear there’s no vision and I’m already so burnt out. Does anyone know if it’s possible to opt into the layoff?

I was just wondering if anyone has heard whether Accredo will also be impacted by the current layoffs at Cigna, or if that area is expected to remain stable for now.

There seems to be a lot of uncertainty, so I thought I would ask in case anyone has heard any updates or information being shared internally.

I’ve seen quite a few people leaving from the UK offices across different departments — some went mid-May, others are due to ship out end of May. It was a mix of VBGs and the rest, probably around the 100 mark all in.
Heard the RIFs are pretty much done in the smaller spots like Spain. Italy got notified as well but they’ve got that 75 day consultation period to go through. Not sure what’s happening with France and Belgium, they’re pretty small outfits anyway.
Germany’s probably next in line for another 100 heads, seeing as they’ve got nearly 300 over there. There was some chat about selling off Professional Services and Security to a partner, but I’ve got no proper intel on that.
Anyone know any more?

Many of the holes are being now plugged with today’s org announcements. AD to the Chief of staff office. That pretty much confirms CH can stop dual hat and will be head of downstream.

Yet to be seen if Meg has the fortitude to send GB and WL packing. Or at the very least move GB over to some Tech center role where he can’t continue destroying value.

A group of friends having been cut from GBS all self selecting, and one guy told me yesterday he’s been put into a pool for CR in GIS.

Kevin Hart's media company, Hartbeat, faces significant internal challenges. A recent report details layoffs, lawsuits, and executive shakeups. The company, once valued at $650 million, has downsized. Kevin Hart finalized a deal with Authentic Brands Group this January. This agreement reportedly caused employee concerns regarding the company's future.

Lots of shuffling around of teams again and unfortunately losing some good people, then CTO is out on leave? What is going on?

Nothing gets done. Priorities change by the day. Projects launch and die overnight. Key people vanish without warning. Managers are overwhelmed. I've completely checked out. No more goal-oriented work, just treading water. And I'm pretty sure most people are doing the same.

And it'll be a miracle if anything is still functioning in the near future. Some teams have been almost completely destroyed by the recent moves. What's the actual end game here?

u need to pay attention to all of this... things that impact decisions... bookmark this somewhere and REMEMBER: personal disputes, retaliation, preserving dominance and status, rivalries, and internal power struggles, often arising from cycles of poor judgment, limited opportunity, trauma, +loyalty

The Land Of Dots job cartel is for real.

I read about it here and elsewhere and thought, Ha, No.

I've seen multiple promotions and none of them make any sense.

Job Level 7 promotion to Squad Leader. She can't function in Excel, and got promoted from Level 4 to a Level 7 in less than 5 years.

Fidelity has been colonized.

Not like you were not warned.

I hear they let the CIO Kim M go . Had to be over this cluster of a deal with outsourcing IT. Wonder which dope from her staff they will put in place now.Hopefully they go to the outside and get someone to clean up her mess.

I can imagine how everyone feels, especially the veterans. I'm still here, but it doesn't really matter, does it? They can drop more of this on us anytime. We're being betrayed by a company so many of us have given years to. I'm saying this knowing I might get ridiculed. And I know, on an intellectual level, that this is how things work. But as a human being and a professional, I feel we are being betrayed.

I’m stuck in a three-layer sandwich—Sr. Director, Director, and AD. Sr. Director seems calm and confident, but the Director and AD are all over the place. Priorities change almost every hour, so the team is constantly scrambling and redoing work.

We’re getting pulled in 10 different directions at once, including being pushed to work on things that don’t even seem relevant anymore. It’s honestly a pretty chaotic and frustrating environment.

And the worst part—there’s no escape. Hardly any internal roles are opening up within Verizon right now.

Looks like VPs are starting their exits now. We went from a skeleton crew to barely any bones left. Don’t spend that AIP payout because who knows what the next few weeks are going to look like. So long fellow associates who have been here long enough to remember the good old days when we had real leadership and transparency.

I’ve worked at BD across several divisions for many years and have always taken pride in delivering strong results and supporting my customers. Recently, however, the environment has changed significantly. Many team members are new, training has been inconsistent, and processes and expectations are often unclear. As a result, much of my time is spent navigating internal obstacles rather than focusing on serving customers and driving business outcomes.

Despite being able to manage through these challenges, it has become increasingly difficult and frustrating to operate effectively. There is a growing perception among employees that these conditions may be intentional—creating an environment where people become discouraged and choose to leave rather than the company having to manage formal separations.

At the same time, customers are feeling the impact of the internal disorganization, which risks damaging relationships and driving business away. This combination has led to declining morale among employees who are trying to continue performing at a high level.

Having experienced what this company once was, it’s particularly disappointing to see the shift. BD was once the best professional experience of my career, and I remain committed to working hard, supporting my customers, and contributing to success. It’s difficult, however, to watch the organization move in a direction that makes that increasingly challenging.
