#reorg

A month after the CDAI head got layered, nearly all of his directs were let go or moved elsewhere this week. We all saw it coming as this was a poorly run org that SVP never cared for.

I hear hints maybe some people that are in transition are not identifying themselves. I can understand there are business reasons both for and against this. But I also think maybe there is some fear, so it could be misunderstanding. Are there people who were in scope and already landed roles in the new organization, but will still transition out in 2026?

They’ve been doing small surgical cuts across teams for 1-2 years now. Mostly to move roles to India. Would they make cuts on those same teams again?

Is anyone having meaningful discussions about the SPS results? With organizational leadership as low as it is, the LT response continues to be something along the lines of, “well we’re going through a reorg so that’s why we’re rated low.” That’s been the message since 2020. Does anyone have any thoughts around how to get the message to land when there is an actual bad leader at either a VP or EVP level? Trying to brainstorm and ask for advice on how other people have tried to explain it. The notion that the SPS is our voice is gone ever since they removed the free text fields.

Hard to stay engaged with so many changes looming.

Bring on the layoffs and reorgs… been hearing rumors for several months and just ready to find out my path heading towards 2026. Best of luck everyone.

Just when you think things couldn’t get more confusing, two of the few competent and respected leaders in D&D, people who actually know the space and can manage people are reportedly leaving.

Meanwhile, if the rumor mill is right, a former consultant VP with limited direct experience is expanding their scope to oversee all of D&D.

How does someone go from “separation” status to suddenly being over all of technology, without the background or expertise for it?

Feels like we’re watching a slow-motion reorg that could spark a bigger exodus. Or maybe it’s strategic — put the least qualified person in charge and let attrition do the work.

that can only mean another round of cuts and layoffs.

And that’s not going to happen with this leadership. It really feels like they’ve completely lost touch with reality. The world is changing fast, but Chevron is moving forward on pure inertia, as if nothing around us is shifting. They’re doing this reorg like it’s business as usual, but it’s not. These decisions can have serious long-term consequences, not just for the company but for the many people who’ll be left without jobs. It’s frustrating watching leadership pretend everything is going according to plan, while there’s no real plan grounded in reality.

And things just keep getting worse, in every way imaginable. I wonder if they'll ever figure out that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?

Heard that’s the path forward, and it makes sense. Combine operations, leadership. Cut many many many many heads. Sure, it will rough for a while, but it’s all about the immediate savings. No one cares about 3 years from now, only the next qtr and the current gap to solve for. Painful decisions are what random new CEOs are all about.

Also, no more value! Redundant operations. It’s all consumer and business, all customer. We don’t need 10 different marketing teams, just one.

The goal is to cut people or make them quit. Every tactic that pushes employees out is cheaper than paying them to leave. Exxon has turned into an intricate matrix of exploitation and attrition pressures coming from every direction. No wonder it’s now the king of toxicity. And it’s not as if the job is worth going through the wringer for. A couple of years and done seems like the only reasonable way to deal with this hellhole of a company.

How are others feeling now that we are 20 days into this “adventure”?

Today, my manager informed me that I’m part of the next round of actions, as my role is affected by the organizational health measures set by McKinsey. My team is being reassigned to different functional lines, and my manager mentioned that the RIF notification date is scheduled for 11/19. It appears that McKinsey’s recommendations are driving how our business is structured and managed, with decisions being made based on a set of data rather than the real work being done.

Tearing this bi--h down to the studs ya’ll. It ain’t the company it was 5 years ago. He-l, it’s not the company it was 5 months ago. Welcome to the soulless corporate su-k.

JC gets millions

Now can we stop with all the useless reorgs and focus on products instead?

I was told by our manager a reorg is comming by the end of the year. We were told some of us were moving to another site. This reorg is supposed to cut costs by reducing redundant positions. There is no talk of layoffs but movement of personnel to optimize operations. I believe it is another way of forcing more employees to leave or retire. I will retire instead of changing positions.

The new CEO, that's not change. It is the continuation of a plan. If l have seen this and lived it.

Meatball did the job that Blackrock commanded. He hollowed out the company, and outsourced much of it. The only thing not yet completed it the conversion of direct store to the Big 6 indirects. But that is coming.

The Checkmark has lost a lot of ground, and that was intentional. Next will be a massacre of senior managers and higher. Also.maybe a sell off of prepaid.

And then they will sell the cold, dead empty husk of the company to the highest bidders for scrap. We will be the AOL of telecommunications and we will be left to ponder "the good old days" as if we ever had them.

Should we give all of our money and resources to support a retail brand that has no awareness or subscribers - apparently. Should we reorg, then reorg, then reorg again - yes please. This company is a joke and we’re dead in the water.

Don’t apply for these roles you’ll hate it here.

Appears that there is a smaller reorg in CIG Canada. No specific details at this time.

Anyone hearing what areas might be impacted? So far planning and IM merging are the rumblings.

This past week I know 2 people from different groups who were told they need to move to the same office as their manager for co-location. Thought it was random but now confirmed that this is the next big thing.
Not sure what happens if your manager is on the other side of the country but guessing some major changes are coming like re-orgs ??!!

Anyone have any insight into any bombshell set to be dropped at today's all associate meeting? Is this when they lay the RTO onto people, or any new reorg%alignments/RIFs planned that will come out today?

Hans is stepping back to pursue his passion of assembling IKEA furniture and moonlighting at the cafeteria, where he will excel at cooking mediocre meatballs.

What do we think of the new CEO? More reorgs, more woke, more su-king?

When will middle management get changed over. If Uniti replaces upper management then they need to replace lower management.

Absolutely nothing will change, except many of us will be jobless and replaced by cheaper offshore hires. At this point, I’m starting to think those who got kicked out first might be the luckiest. I can’t imagine enduring more months of this mess, only to land in a gutted team with heavier workloads and an even worse company culture.

Nov or Dec roll out and now none surprised.

after months of "big bla bla reorg" I was moved to "superstar team", its almost 2 months and actually I have no idea what they are trying to achieve.

I thought previous place was mad, but at least i could test something, raise a bug and wait forever for anyone to care... or do more stuff/testing.. something meaningful.
sometimes it was quite sensible.

Here?
100% headless chickens flow, they run from one side to other developing secretly something then dropping it and doing something else. Total madness repeating buzz words and hype phrases. Worst of all are the secrets within "team". backlog is full of bullsh-t, but PO jump in and secretly give some weird tasks to teammates.

Caterpillar reorganization in 3rd quarter to help reduce share price declines. Caterpillar has issued layoffs and retirement packages to salaried trained and experienced employees while hiring agency reduced cost workers and recruiting college interns.

Read carefully and between the lines. HR expanding- that’s to handle rifs, see if they can use people who job cut by AI. Looks like IT stuff going there, Lots of “alignment”. Good luck

Expect layoffs at Senior Manager and RMM level come January!

I don't have the words to explain the total chaos that today was! It was total confusion! Nobody knows anything! No answers! This is total nonsense! Somebody should be held accountable! Did anyone else feel the frustration that many of us did?

Can someone share what the new reorg details that were shared with the company yesterday? Curious because I saw something about banking and the leader JJ. I used to work in that area. Curious what is going on.

Several managers and ICs let go in the SC org couple of days ago. They are doubling down on their SC 2.0 agenda and pushing out anyone who doesn’t fall in line. Feels more like ego than strategy. Morale is sinking, and they’re going to lose a lot more people if this keeps up.

LRs coming soon in Nov (internal sources)

was a nice big air burger, reorg in November

This can only end well. You have to open up your throat so you don't choke on the sc----g that is Windows. Sure, it's unwanted but you will enjoy it. Certainly, this effort will result in a resurgence of hiring elimination of RIFs.

In a new internal memo, Windows and Surface boss Pavan Davuluri has announced that Microsoft is bringing the teams that make the core of Windows back into the Windows organization.
...
The move comes as Microsoft promises the future of Windows to be one that is agentic, prioritizing voice input in addition to mouse and keyboard usage, and becoming an AI-powered OS that can conduct tasks and actions on your behalf. Davuluri even says that the restructure will help the company “deliver our vision of Windows as an Agentic OS”
