AK made clear on feb office hours that 15-70-15 here to stay. Also said 20-60-20 next year. Clear mission to shrink the company. Get out on your is if you can. Only people ready to retire and waiting on a package should be complacent.

So.. Verizon's head of its consumer division, Sowmyanarayan Sampath, is stepping down?? Or was he asked to leave??
When ole Danny Schulman stepped into his role in October he helped approved a $4 million payment for Sampath to retain him in his consumer CEO role. While he ordered Verizon's biggest-ever round of job cuts in November of 13000+

So… who’s the next head to roll? Which former PayPal person is coming along the Danny ride??

Need em back.

Why it's the leadership at the top not held accountable. They created this disastrous outcome, and we the working employees are paying the ultimate price by losing our jobs and dignity. It's a very sad and heartbreaking day for a lot of good people!

Executives, VPs, and Directors should be accountable and shown the door first.

Stock is down almost every single day. No purchase by our preeminent CEO. He sunk the ship, torpedoed the stock, sent us to Infinity, the company is suffering under him. I think an activist should get involved to save us. Mike should go.

I thought Dan talking about global and national madness before getting to VZ was quite clever. Puts things in context. VZ madness didn’t feel too bad and kinda expected after hearing all that.

Little manipulative but I guess visionaries have to be little manipulative too

About a year ago I was talking about MU and the eminent shortage in memory to a Director level dude, his response, 'they're still around?'. That right there tells you all you need to know about the direction of this company. There are a lot of people in high places making important decisions that don't actually care or even understand technology. Middle management has a severe lack of vision and probably accountability.

Spend 30 minutes on AI, but you "have 5 minutes to get through 8 things". You literally just acted like running out of time is a valid excuse to not share the "Dan Plan". What a joke.

You won’t believe the tea DV was always spilling! He kept going on and on about how everyone who came over from USAA got that sweet LTIP I mean, literally down to the assistants who transferred in. Like, he made it sound like the ultimate selling point, the big perk that sealed the deal.
And don’t get me started on KS /DV she was all about bringing in her people to push out the NM crew, basically stirring up all this fear to clear house. It’s been two whole years of them making up their own rules and just lining their pockets. I heard only one is left now… what a total joke!

HR and the higher-ups simply don't understand where we are coming from. No more speaking from emotion. We HAVE to speak in buzz words and LEGAL TERMS.

Enjoyed seeing the CEOs of United Healthcare and CVS/Aetna getting scolded by different members of congress last week. How can we make sure Sarah doesn’t miss out on that fun? I need to see her explaining all her little “High Touch Initiatives” put in place in those state plans with high MCR rates. Popcorn ready!

The teams like QPOET full of snakeoil salesmen have done nothing except for cheating and stealing！

Why does dvn never post manager+ jobs?

Qualcomm seems to have perfected the impossible: beating earnings quarter after quarter while watching its stock drop every single time. Once is bad luck. Repeatedly is a leadership failure. When results are consistently strong and the market reaction is consistently negative, the problem isn’t performance — it’s how the story is being told at the top.

Its beyond time for the baby boomer generation and people like MW, MN, DJT, Bezos and so many to retire and leave the country alone!

To the Boards of Yesterday:
​Your era of "efficiency at any cost" has reached its limit. For decades, heartless management tactics—prioritizing quarterly dividends over worker safety and "grind culture" over human health—have hollowed out our industries and our communities.

​We have lived through the fallout: industrial disasters, environmental neglect, and a workforce pushed to the brink of burnout. "Toughness" was your mask for toxicity, and "loyalty" was a one-way street that ended in layoffs.
​It is time to step aside. The country is ready for leadership that values empathy, sustainability, and the life of the worker as much as the bottom line. We are moving forward; please stop standing in the way of a future that actually has a heart.

Most of India's leadership does nothing than a people management. Critical resources might be moved under top leadership in USA letting lots of India's leaders to go.
Get ready folks

Everything is now in deep flux. The staff knows that he knows that Wael is a not the future and just a figure head awaiting a Payola. He has kneecapped all competition and has not created a company for the future

Its obvious Mike is tired and stressed after everything hes been through. He's made tough decisions all while making almost nothing. I mean this man blew out his knees for us. Is there anyway any of us could return the favor? If I had been in Covington I would have un-zipped it right on stage. He's earned it!

T Mobile never had a terrible CTO like John Saw. He has destroyed our organization to a shell of what it was under the previous CTOs. We have lost serious talent and expertise under his leadership.
When he was CTO of Sprint, he almost drove that company to bankruptcy with poor decisions and leadership. After that fiasco, why is he still CTO at T Mobile?
Fire John Saw and save T Mobile.

I’m so confused. None of my bosses / leaders have said anything about no bonuses. I haven’t received any emails about no bonuses. But on here there’s so many posts of people speaking with such authority about no more bonuses.

Is this still just a rumor? Or has something been shared?

SETH was a total setup: I have it on good authority that one of the question were real, and were made up to be softballs for mike.

So much for leadership transparency.

Proof: Nothing about RTO and HMP.

Pinterest CEO fires back at workers fighting layoffs

Pinterest announced plans to cut hundreds of jobs last week. Now it’s firing engineers who tried to fight back.

What do you think? Who holds the product vision now?

Does Brian think we're stupid?

Does anyone know what the all Leadership meeting before the all employee meeting is about today?

What the he-l are these jokers on about? What even is "the culture"?

"Bringing back a notion of taking that extra step."
"You need to have a way of thinking about health care that is different from other products."

"It's a different culture than just a commercial culture."
"To be more explicit about that, we were calling that out because we were way too tense and needed to define who we wanted to be."

Could you have used more words to say nothing, sir?

So thankful that I was apart of the 2018/2019 original layoffs with Sandy Dilworth and Michelle Wright. At first I thought wow, why me but now I look up in the sky and say thank you God that I was chosen and got out of this mess. I actually saw how great Carefirst was when I was hired in 2013 and supported Chet! Everyone was wowed by Brian P, the wolf in sheep clothing one of the best BSers I’ve ever heard in my life man He took Carefirst to the next level huh?! Lol

With the release of the E files, ya'll know, I'm not about to type any more details than that...

I have to ask. Has anyone searched through our current BoD? Leadership Chain? Or priors who've left? I think we would all love to know the company is at least clean of that... if not much else.

Serious question: does anyone else feel like we’re past the ‘planning’ phase and already in the ‘waiting for the shoe to drop’ phase?

Big leadership announcements, but no full org charts below first line, no clear direction, and oddly few real comms.

Feels familiar.

Is she just a cheerleader and goes around doing meet and greets since she has failed at all her jobs and others had to take them over. Why is she still around while other real working and accomplished people are being laid off ?

I left 2 months ago for a competitor and didn’t even get so much more in salary, but I do not regret it at all.

The culture out there is so much better in many ways. No one is breathing down your neck and expecting you to work every moment. I feel respected and heard here. I hope you guys make it out too!

Surprised it took so long to occur. That last crew did not perform at all. Did a lot of bad stuff to lower ranks - intentional or not. Stock price at $1.38 today.

Does anyone know what the secret meetings are for in Coral this week? Takis is here with other leadership.

I've attended a few Leadership update calls since Dan announced results and I've heard the phrase 'find another gear' or similar used a few times now.

Do any of you have another gear to go upto? I don't know about y'all but since VSP & the last round of RIFs, I've been in top gear constantly covering my work and that of several others, and have nothing more left to give, I'm burnt out.

I guess they expect me to give up even more of my own personal time to help Dan get his payout. It ain't happening!

Will MW man up and address the complete dysfunction and crushed morale? Will he admit he doesn't care about America anymore?

Is he gonna layoff.com everyone

Leadership seems he-l-bent on cost-cutting. But there's always a breaking point.

2025 had a brilliant divestiture and acquisition. What will 2026 bring?
The DL on Suriname
Is Alaska a distraction?
Leadership survives another year
Stock price estimate 12/2026

$1 trillion valuation first for non tech company. Stock thru the roof. And here is Nike claiming to be a tech company under JD and continuing to underwhelm both in tech and product.
Sure it's not a 1 to 1 comparison but goes to show competent leadership can weather headwinds like tariffs which if anything expose Walmart equally if not more! And BTW a lot of the Walmart growth is attributed to astute use of technology.
Few years back had the opportunity to join Walmart tech, back then Nike was the cool kid so I didn't consider it... Dang it!
