#reorg

What do you make of the re org

Chat are we cooked/ Chat who is cooked?

That’s at least three architecture team reorgs in recent years. Moving the same people into new titles isn't going to fix the core issues

Strong rumors about Networking and Security Specialist SE/AEs being moved into Portfolio Generalist AE/SE roles. Anyone hearing anything for USC and GES?

How would account mapping work? Who would handle Cat Center and Security conversations? Leader check in from today, can someone help confirm/deny rumors?

New just in
Ty announced a giant reorg/struct after the recent LR's via Vidcast
Of course, Cisco is going all in on AI

Significant changes to Collab
How many years do you think we have until everyone is replaced with AI ?

Oh well, two previous managers said the same then happened a reorg, then the next manager said the same, then another reorg, now the new manager says the same. No Focal for a 6 years in a row.

As a meta mate I heard about the 7k employees being moved to MSL to work on AI initiatives.

Few questions:
How can I volunteer to be moved, or was that already randomly determined?

What are they actually doing there? Anything cutting edge?

Will they the most safe from the next few layoffs since they just got re orged?

The reviews are going to be devastating when the survey comes out immediately after managers are forced to deliver the SLT messages with a smile and keep opinions to themselves. The messenger is going to get the blame and I wonder if this is by design by SLT for justifying another round. My group has at least twice as many chapter leaders as we need if teams are going to become 10-25 people instead of smaller squads. What will happen to them all?

We had some kind musical chairs mini-reorg in my area of Aero engineering four weeks ago. It seems like a level of management that was eliminated 5 or so years ago was added back in. Is this happening in other areas? And will they pay for the new layer by cutting heads?

Subject: Organizational Updates Under Our People First Strategy

Team,

We have reviewed the results from the employee surveys shared over the past several months.

The feedback showed consistent themes: a desire for greater stability, consistency, clarity, communication, and transparency. We heard those requests, and today we are responding.

We are announcing another organizational restructuring as part of our new People First Strategy.

As part of this strategy, we will be removing several things employees currently value in order to support progress and future alignment.

We understand that change can be uncomfortable. To address that directly, we will be rolling out 12 major organizational changes at the same time.

More details will follow.

Now you guys finish this memo by adding 12 org changes…

I believe sales will be hit again after the end of the fiscal year (5/31). Some in sales were left alone during the last round to see if they could close key deals, and they might be let go after the year ends. Also, as we move into FY27 I expect a re-org/shuffle of sales teams which might result in a few more being laid off. I'm out of the loop now, but that's my expectation.

Next round big changes!

So it's SMB now and we're sc--wed. New title and responsibilities, no OT and no raise. Enough already, time to quiet quit.

Ok we're down to about a month and a half until the impending announcement. I'm sure someone who reads these has some details. What are you hearing?

I suspect everything finance will be centralized to Houston (i.e. no teams at the refineries)

I’m pretty low on the totem pole but how big of a change allows for a layoff?

There have been a few high manager changes and I can’t tell if it’s just reshuffling from the layoffs last week vs just flattening out a team reporting line. Anyone have more info?

I've been avoiding this for months. I told myself things would get better, that I could wait it out. But after the last round of reorgs happened and the latest gossip about more cuts, I've accepted that I need to leave. I really didn't want to go through the interview process again. It's exhausting and demoralizing. But I feel like I have no choice anymore. I can't stay somewhere that makes me this unhappy.

Reorg/layoffs happening in the Finance area.

Everyone ready for another shuffle? That time is coming again!

Anyone know what it will be about? More Reorg I am thinking

I've stopped learning people's names. By the time I figure out who reports to whom, they reorganize again and everyone moves. It's been three or four restructures since I started. None of them made anything better.

We were first introduced to these ‘traveling’ resources when the Spotify model rolled through. Are they the ones leading the “next re-org” too? If not, were any of them impacted in this? Or are they the ones pushing the enablement lead lingo…

What's happening with the new CRDN & SH OU (ICT)
? Will there be more layoffs as the functional leaders announce their orgs?

From LinkedIn just now, from Karim Bandali:
"I am excited to share the creation of a new Operating Unit at Medtronic focused on Cardiovascular Surgery. Today, we unite Cardiac Surgery and Aortic — each with deep expertise, talented people, and a shared commitment to patients and clinicians."

Got word today that the SVP is gone "retiring". Wild news, sounds like more to follow. Usually this is the fuse that lights the fire. Layoffs and a reorg are definitely coming to CS. Makes sense though, you can't have 2 SVPs over CS and Retail.

Is this the end of JJ or LisaP?

Intel swipes Qualcomm veteran of 25 years to lead client computing — Alex Katouzian jumps ship to oversee consumer CPUs and physical AI

for those that have reorg announced today , do you know what is causing it?

seems like people are getting moved to different teams across IT

Is it just me, or this looks like an "AR role was not performing as expected, so we removed his reporting lines" with an over-enterprised envelope of "This is to be more aligned with markets"?
Is something going to really change?

Now that the divestiture is completed, when do you think reorg will occur? Titles are all over the place. And do you think reorg will include layoffs? I noticed small layoffs here and there of long time contractors.

Someone on my team is leaving but we are not getting a backfill...

I have a question. I was part of a reorg where my US based team will now be lead by a manager in India. A. Is this happening to anyone else? I presume this isn't promising for our future. B. My direct manager is still in the US, however the org chart doesn't show that he reports to the India manager? Is there a reason for that?

This is what we were told :
Sr leadership are moving toward consolidating developers into larger teams (minimum of 10-15 people) rather than smaller squads.
At the leadership level:

• VP-level Squad Leaders overseeing non-prioritized projects, small teams, or any L8 Individual Contributors are at risk of layoffs.
• Those who retain their positions may be reassigned to L7 Director roles and report to Engineering.
• For non-core business functions (Finance, HR, Marketing), we may see also reduced headcount to streamline operations and reduce fat.

Specifically:

• There can be an approximate 15% reduction in technology leadership positions (L7+)
• Non-leadership roles will see minimal reductions, but still possible
• Contractor contracts may not be extended
• Please be prepared for potential changes in your reporting structure.

My original post was deleted so I’ll filter this one. What counts as a reorg for a layoff?

Half of my group is moving to another manager, but not a BU. The head of my department is losing half of their downloaded. Am I at risk?

As someone who was let go from another company, here are a couple of things I'd tell my younger self:

• Take some time to process everything that happened and what it means to you financially
• It's almost impossible not to speculate why YOU. Whether there was a specific reason or not, it doesn't matter anymore
• Connect to that ex-Nike linkedin group. I heard good things
• Once it is all said and done, avoid coming back to this site

You'll feel the urge to state your opinion, and share something like "see, I knew this was going to break!". As someone who actually did this, I only regret my decision of doing so, because it took me longer to move on from being let go.

I have seen d-mb decisions that had to be rolled back later on. I'm sure Nike has done some d-mb stuff that will have to be undone. But, if I were you, stop checking this site if you no longer work here. I've only found helpful to know when these reorgs would happen so I can start prepping my resume/interviews in the event that I am cut off.

have a great one

Given recent news of the reorganization. Would it be wise to think roles will be shared between modalities? Seems like there’s some big change brewing…

Hear Elimination of HO/Upstream/Facility Service Regionals , Downsizing FS Manager Qty and streamlining to less directors. Overhead cuts look to be on Horizon......

First off, I'm sorry to those let go. I hope they're able to find something better and more secure.
Some orgs have been told layoffs are done.
I've seen "Tech Activation Touch Base" still being used for both for reorg meetings. Poor taste reusing that meeting title for both information and layoffs. Way to send an employee into panic.

Yeah, Chevron spends too much on consultants - totally agree. But since this genius reorg there's no one left to do the actual work. Now ELP has to be the guardians of anyone and anything who may use a consultant - oh, except for all the exec consultants who are out of scope. You know, the brilliant folks who designed this mess. $crew you, ELP, and a big eff you to ES.
