#reorg

Just found out the upcoming Sept 15 layoff list for our team is being decided by the part-time, remote people manager after the recent reorg.

It just proves how toxic and out-of-touch leadership has become. This company has completely deteriorated and lost its way. Honestly, getting laid off might be a blessing in disguise at this point. It’s time to say goodbye to this place. Good luck to everyone on the 15th.

Ever since I have been here there have been constant re-orgs, executives either shifting around or departing the company, budget cuts, unreasonable financial objectives, and (seemingly) high turnover. Everything kinda seems backwards and counterintuitive.

Is this normal at every company within every industry? Is this just typical corporate maneuvering? I have only ever known LHX.

U of P today announced possible reorg and layoffs soon. It has started by offering early leave package opportunities for some employees but says they are not clear that they will approve their applications. If not enough volunteers to leave they will then need to layoff. Their HR webpage was impacted due to employees trying to research benefit packages ---- so would seem many employees must have received the offer.

No clear info yet; more info coming next week.

Merging Sales Ops, Dev PMO, Renewals Ops, PS Ops (x2), Revenue Ops, and PMO into one org is textbook eliminate redundant layers. We should all be watching for follow-on layoffs in 60-90 days, consistent with the pattern we’ve been seeing since Mark B left.

Heard a couple of mgrs. mention in meetings this week that changes are coming to those that roll up to BB and AI (IYKYK who they are) tech directors. Of course, no details.
I'm speculating more layoffs and reorgs? anyone else hear this and/or have intel?

Lately some movement of people that are senior and Director and above level under a program manager is to save their own job or to let them go? Tr.. sh!!! check the changes

What’s the status of the re-org?

This will be the biggest reduction and change to staff at this site.

Will be interesting to see it play out.

Plenty fat. Top Heavy job roles

As someone in early career, I’m finding it really difficult to make any headway in growing. I’m on a team that doesn’t really teach me or train me and is far from what I’m wanting to do with my career, yet all leads (stretch assignments, internal transfers) have been shut down. After the reorgs, we lost half our team but are expected to do the same amount of work, and I can sense everyone burning out.

How can I get out? The early career market right now is so bad I’m unable to get even an online assessment or interview from any of my applications. And since Nike is my only real experience, I’m not sure if recruiters view it as a good thing

Any new organizational updates from PI?

Another 10% is leaving on top of all the layoffs this year already. Any word on additional RIF?

A couple ppl have been able to move their VSP date which seems crazy. We were told Dec 11 but several have now moved to 9/4.

Some new teams have already been formed while some remain untouched with no new direction. Are we sitting ducks? Our leaders are leaving and we aren’t being told anything.

Anyone else here being told anything at all?

Also KT suing Centene? And naming KC?

The new CMO has been in office over 100 days now and I have heard a rumor or 2 that a re org in coming. Anyone else heard this or is it just an “every new leader does this so he will do it too” type of rumor?

Started earlier this morning but VP, AVP, Sir Dir movement in Workday underway now.

I don't expect Associate Directors and Local Managers to be fully moved until later week(s) but we'll see.

Not think about layoffs, reorgs, VSPs, etc.? Good times.

There's a certain sadness in watching a company that once meant something turn into a shell of itself. All the potential, all the bright ideas, all the people who cared...it's all being wasted. Every reorg, every layoff, every bad decision chips away at whatever is left. I find myself mourning the place it used to be, even as I sit here watching it disappear.

I’m not sure why they think continually moving teams around is helpful- I guess any action is better than inaction. It’s just musical chairs at this point.

Email went out announcing that the AVP for Wireless Supply Chain will transition to the N&T Fiber team in September.

I wonder what the next few weeks of shuffling and reorgs will look like.

I heard it’s this week but I haven’t received anything yet. The suspense is ki-ling me.

Does anyone have any insight on how they have handled previous reorgs? Do they assign you to a new role? Are you given options? Do you have to reapply? Is it simply this is your new position starting this date or you can leave?

What happens if you don’t take it? Is it a laid off situation or voluntarily quit?

I’m hearing this is happening in some pockets of the organization.

In the last 15+ years, we've had two incompetent CEOs, countless reorgs, several acquisitions where we bought for premium prices and sold for cheap, and a complete erosion of culture. I think the rot is so deep at this point that any new leadership would need a miracle, not a strategy to fix this mess.

When is the product reorg actually happening? Just get it over with already!

Is there any ongoing reorg in upstream?

After over a year of not having them, forecast calls have resumed. Needless to say- the ET has been “surprised” at the losses being forecasted- to the point of not believing the managers forecasts, and they still do not have access to a lot of reporting that would have alerted them to the 10s of millions being lost. This reorg is a massive miss. I don't see in what world an IPO will happen. Who would invest in this dumpster fire.

Hearing rumours that OAL as org might not exist or will be moved. Is this path to cut more jobs?

A common plan within the ABU is to just wait until 2028. Is it certain that's the next big reorg or can we hope for smaller changes before then?

With Katz out and suddenly the budgets are still not settled again do we think reorg and layoffs are coming soon? Like realllll soon?

We have reorgs constantly, with new structures, new reporting lines, new everything and always many, many layoffs. You'd think with all that effort and all those changes, we'd be perfect by now. But nothing ever truly changes. Why isn't anyone holding leadership accountable?

Another reorg. Sold as agility, felt as whiplash. Leadership didn’t even wait for the planned date — they tore up a structure barely a year old and rebuilt it mid-year, with zero regard for what that costs the people living through it. The stated reason: “boost software deployment.” The real reason is simpler and darker.
IBM has spent years buying growth instead of building it. Every quarter, another acquisition gets folded in, rebranded as “software strength,” and used to justify the next reorg. Strip out the acquisitions, and the growth mostly disappears. This isn’t a strategy. It’s a treadmill, and shareholders finally noticed — the stock just had its worst single day in the company’s history.
The money to keep buying is running out. Debt keeps climbing. Buybacks have been frozen for years because the company is still “digesting” its last purchase. Cash meant for growth is quietly being redirected to service the last deal, not fund the next one. When a company can’t return money to its own shareholders, it’s telling you something about how thin the cushion has gotten.
And the sales playbook is exhausted. For years, big renewals were “won” by reshuffling the same contract — discount here, markup there, call it a signing. Do that once, fine. Do it a third time on the same account, and there’s nothing left to move. Customers aren’t d-mb. Many are also sitting on mountains of software they were sold and never deployed. Asking them to sign another restructuring on top of shelfware gathering dust isn’t selling — it’s asking for patience that ran out a while ago. That’s the real story behind “large deals failed to close.” It was never about speed.
So here’s what a summer reorg actually buys: nothing, fast. Territory changes take a quarter just to stabilize. Real deals take six months to a year to close. Launch a reorg in July, across a holiday season when half of Europe is offline, and demand results in Q3 — and you’ve built a machine engineered to fail on schedule.
Except failure doesn’t cost everyone the same. IBM books the reorg as a clean, one-time charge and moves on. Sellers absorb the real cost: quotas that don’t shrink to match a broken calendar, commission checks that quietly get smaller because targets were unrealistic from day one, accounts inherited mid-relationship with no memory of what was promised or already burned. When the numbers come up short, it won’t be called “the reorg cost us a season.” It’ll be called underperformance. The same event, blamed upward as strategy and downward as failure — a strategy that costs nothing on the way in and everything on the way out, just not for the people who designed it.
That’s the pattern worth naming out loud: a company that has run out of things to buy, running out of ways to reshuffle what it already sold, paying for both by quietly shifting the bill onto the people closest to the customer.
Another reorg won’t fix that. Only shipping what was already sold will.

MO advised that the company will commit to providing a date by the end of July to confirm whether roles are impacted by the new organisational design. Has anyone heard any intel on numbers, percentages, or which parts of the business are mostly impacted? It all seems very quiet… the calm before the storm.

I see the agony on this site. Many of you are uncertain about your future.

I just want to share with you. In a team call, CEO said a couple of years ago. “I love it. It’s like playing a video game, haha haha” It was in the context of managing
the business and reorganizing people. I know many of you probably we on the call. It’s really sad, but it’s the reality of the tech business. I never expected to hear from a CEO.
But, he really is transparent. Enjoys the RSUs. It all fun and video games.

Are a lot of people taking it?

Anyone the it will offered again?

What’s the Reorg look like after?

Do we think there’s going to be another reorg coming soon?

A major reorganization is coming for the SPSE team. Leadership is unhappy that too many employees don’t have clearly defined responsibilities or measurable deliverables.

I’m told 500+. New reorg.

I don’t understand what they are doing for real. Someone please explain it to me

I ain’t in America but the reorg over there has got me thinking about what happens in my region and country. Has anyone heard much? Is the USA the first to restructure and then other countries follow?

Our team of what's left after layoffs was reorganized under someone who doesn't know anything about our work. Its like Customer Service manager direct reporting high level IT folks. What in the world? Who decides reorgs? Health Solutions is horrible

Leadership and team shake up

Is it true that a reorg is coming? It seems like there’s a hiring freeze for PM partners in GBSG. Does anyone know who might be affected? When?

No GM assigned. Moving to a country model?
