Layoffs happening around the organization. Merry Christmas, you are out of a job in the worst economy, but our CEOs bonuses are going to be ah-mazing.

Anyone know if the CMO organization is affected?

Received email from Sanjiv, EMEA part of orgs above are safe.

Like the title says, some people in network have been given word that their 3rd shift that's impacted will know tonight, and dayshift will be told tomorrow.

Our group - not a whisper, besides what's in the news

Band 7 in both organizations

AD told his team Monday the organization would have a 20% cut on Thursday. Said he didn’t know who, but told the team to be prepared for what is coming.

I am a new employee via contract and 8 months in my observation has been WTF since month 3, when I really got the lay of the land. Beyond the share price decline and lost market value, the organization lacks unity and accountability. There are way too many mid level people actioning work who are not great at what they do or have been told by their boss that they are not accountable for keeping to a reasonable level of standards for collaboration across teams. I’ve seen senior people refuse to collaborate and throw their peers under the bus. I don’t know the history of the company’s decline/ drama but when I joined I had friend at Amazon, Chase and other solid places say it’s a great company- these are good friends BSers. I am curious if anyone here would like to share WTF happened or if it’s always been kind of a mess.

I don't understand the long emails. What is going on with the org?

Here's an scheme to detox Amazon:

1) Eject Andy and his entire S-team.
2) Close 80% of offices. Go remote first (i.e. remote like the Cloud).
3) Remove 70% of managers, keep the top 30% based on team feedback/metrics.
4) Get rid of LPs. Stop saying that it's day 1 - Amazon has operated since July 5, 1994 - i.e. at least day 11000 (for those that can count).
5) Get rid of Forte, PIP, and URA targets.
6) Modify the hiring process so that most talented candidates are actually hired! Actually look at/study their background.
7) Reassign ICs to teams where they will grow and perform well.
8) Make comp way more competitive (i.e. Meta, NVIDIA, Netflix) and with actual refreshers.
9) Stop supporting Republicans tyrants!

After the most recent planning town hall, I’ve never felt more unmotivated working for 3M. SVP of planning is woefully under-qualified to be leading this global organization. The future is NOT bright at 3M with him in charge.

I truly enjoy being part of this organization and want to continue contributing meaningfully. However, the current schedule has been very demanding. I completely understand that global collaboration requires flexibility, but calls that take place in the middle of the night have become difficult to maintain long-term. It’s starting to impact my balance and energy levels, and I’m concerned about sustainability. I’d appreciate the opportunity to discuss whether there’s a way to balance time zones while still supporting our objectives. If that is unreasonable, sign me up to be laid off.

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.

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.

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?

Layoff today in JA org!

I would love to get a few answers for the following riddle:

Why is Chevron's HSE Organization and HSE Metrics so bad?

The floor is yours to everyone including the ones that will say really bad things about this post.

but we don’t// apparently we work at the Oracle show. Every executive is just porting their team over here

Continuing to cut and slice the organization when you've already won. By his words, we are already in a league of our own... so let's ruin organizational morale further. Winning at all cost is an endless pursuit.

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

WellMed has been hit hard, it seems. It’s difficult to keep track, and we are all on edge, so please share.

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?

Oddly enough, I didn't get an email about the role transition.

Anyone impacted in A&C ?

Apparently they have laid off sales people in the US and Europe region.Does anyone know or have heard what other departments this may affect?

Starting 9/2 roster… This su-ks! So sorry everyone.

Any news about the db org under Juan?

If we keep layoffs aside for a minute, do you think that things/people are falling into there supposed places?
That things are just a little bit clearer than before wellness week ?
What is happening with you, if I may ask?

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.

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.
