Why centralization doomed to fail?

This centralization will eventually fail. The centralized teams aren’t built from the BUs, and most of the people there lack the capability and experience to understand how things actually get executed in a business unit — let alone run a business. Many of them have stayed in the center since they were university hires and have never worked in a BU. They have no idea how to deal with real business realities or how to actually drive a project.

In the past, they could claim that they contributed significant impacts to multiple projects and BUs to justify their PSG levels. However, their actual contributions within the BUs were largely unverified — many BU results could have been delivered even without their involvement. As a result, their impact has been largely inflated.


Dave’s town hall

What did you all think of Dave’s town hall yesterday? It was good overall, but still left some areas unclear. It’s interesting that some of the old DPA team members seem to have transitioned into stronger leadership roles instead of being impacted. I’m also not sure what the Tech Venturing and Innovation team actually delivers — based on my experience, they’ve created more disruption than value, yet manage to position their work as impactful. Their approach feels more suited for marketing than for a technology function. I’m surprised Dave is allowing this structure — his org already feels too top-heavy with overlapping roles. Hopefully, they’ll revisit the organization design soon.


What is the point of PG&A?

We haven’t heard much from PG&A lately besides the new intranet “improvement”. Everyone I have met from that organization seems like they are 21 and have no idea what they’re doing. Have also heard how toxic and backstabbing the culture can be. Can someone help and tell me what they do all day besides gossip on campus all day?


R&D foods status? Denise?

Hi. I’m a fairly new employee joining R&D and I’ll admit I’m a bit shaken by the Denise and Rene news. I guess I’m still kinda figuring out the corporate bs from
Reality but I thought Denise and Rene seemed like they were really loved and big advocates for R&D?? Is that not the case? I thought I was doing right by


New team structures ( India, Serbia etc)

Anyone know what does the new announcement that came for India, Serbia mean? Does it mean(for instance) Indian employees report to their team leads in US? What happens to the off shore managers who manage only employees and or not actively involved in any functional areas?


RTO 4 days sept

So I work in Everett and we are being told 4 days a week will occur for some time now it's fine I get it. I am on a specific client so I am in a certain secluded area, what I do not get is there is now being asked to return on specific days per person. I wasn't in office when asked due to vacation so my slotted days are just being demanded upon me. There is not enough desks where I am now for what we have in terms of my team at 3 days a week and Managers at 4, How are we going to cram Boston people here too. My manager claims they are getting a new section for us or an additional section with seats but like anything here it was false promises. This place is so terribly ran Site wise I am amazed the little ground hog that runs around here has a job still.


Ferrero dedicated team

Worked for Crossmark then we were acquired by Acosta and as soon as Ferreros fiscal year was up we all had a mandatory conference call on August 1st and we were all laid off. Acosta did state we were able to apply for other positions in the company but just like nothing we all were dropped. The kicker was that I was actually on a short term medical leave and due to the fact I was only on week 2 I did not receive said benefits and then was let go.
