#reorganization

Is anyone in the company in an area where there isn't chaos and lack of planning? This re-org has been terrible. There is no way MW should still be CEO

Will reorgs be announced? If so does that mean that new org charts were already made in advance? Or is tomorrow strictly just layoffs

I work in GNT, below is what I’m hearing as of 10:30EST on 11/19. Please share what you are hearing in the comments.

1. If your AD is getting cut, your ED will notify your AD first thing tomorrow morning, and then notify ICs on the AD’s team. Depending on your ED, they may give the AD the option to call ICs if the AD would like to make those calls themselves.
2. If your AD is not getting cut, they will get a list after 5pm today and they will start making calls at 8am tomorrow. They may not send calendar invites, so don’t infer anything from that.
3. Once everyone is notified, your AD (or ED if your AD is impacted) will set up a call with the survivors.
4. This isn’t just layoffs, it’s also a major restructuring. Markets will be merged. I’m hearing that there will be restructuring/reorganization beyond markets being merged, but I haven’t heard any details.

This su-ks. It has been poorly managed. I’m sorry for everyone who will be impacted, and I’m sorry for survivors who are already spread thin and will be expected to take on inhumane levels of work. Each one of you deserves better than this. Be nice to your colleagues, give everyone a little extra grace, and make sure you have everyone’s contact info on your personal phone.

Tom Brady told us we were the best in the business a year ago. Was that fake news? Since then we’ve done meaningful pulse surveys, volunteering, moments that matter such as endless reorgs, had a successful RTO rollout, and photo shoots. We bring our whole selves to work and take guilt free vacations. Our customers love us. And we’re going to win the holidays with our great products and services. Don’t tell me we’ve been lied to!

2015…major reorg. 2018…VSP followed by major reorg. 2022…reorg. 2023…more reorg. 2024…another reorg. Life at VZ…always on the edge of yet another reorg. Exhausting.

Anyone know which team(s) were impacted by the recent HR reorg?

I am being told the announcement is week of Dec 1st. Potential reorganization.

If you’re a manager you have probably already been asked to provide numbers.

I expect at least a 10% cull across all/most teams in February before the end of year reviews.

Getting rid of many managers and collapsing them to ICs and creating teams with 1:20 or 1:25 even, was done to make it easier to give up headcount. It was always going to be the next phase. They are speeding up the next phases of cuts

Every time the org chart gets shuffled, employees don’t feel “aligned”; they feel like another layoff wave is coming. That kind of background anxiety eventually becomes its own full-time job.

The constant context switching is just as costly.
Teams barely settle into new priorities, new leaders, or new workflows before everything resets again. It’s impossible to build momentum when you’re always reintroducing yourself and relearning the mission of the month.

At some point, leadership has to realize that stability is a competitive advantage. You can’t demand world-class creativity and execution from people who are bracing for impact every quarter.

What the company actually needs isn’t another reorg ; it’s a resilient long-term plan, consistent direction, and a culture where people feel safe enough to do their best work. That’s how you “win,” whether it’s now or later.

Are they going to layoff first then re-org at a later time? Or is everything happening simultaneously?

From everything I’m hearing I’m retail there will be a massive shift incoming. Here is everything I’ve heard so far:

1.Operations and potentially VBG will take massive cuts and be rolled into existing retail framework. With ops/SMB leadership taking on way more stores each.

1. Store closures which cause re-org/re-districting - Re-districting will cause Sr. Directors will get assigned more stores per territory and there will be a 15-25% cut to Sr. Directors.

2. Once the re-org takes places Directors will take a massive cut. Directors will go from 6-8 stores each to 12-18 stores each, which will cause a 50-75% reduction in Directors. (Directors I know that left within the last 45 days were not backfilled and some of our directors are running 12-15 stores since last month. Then at the beginning of this month we’re told not to expect a backfill)

3. This is just the first wave. During Q1 there will be additional store closures to remove repetitive locations, mall locations, and unprofitable locations. Also during Q1 layoffs stores will be asked to go to 1 Assitant Manager with keyholders shouldering more responsibility (following the T-mobile model here).

This is just what I’ve heard in the position that I am in and wanted to share what I know.

Sounds like there is a major reorganization in the marketing team and the corporate and business levels and multiple members of the marketing teams globally have been given a two weeks notice.

Union locals declared surplus, and offering EISP through Nov 25 2025

ZERO non-union layoffs have occurred but are anticipated Nov 20 2025

Frontier acquisition anticipated 1Q26

GNT re-org

What else ? And / Or make corrections here.

After alll these anticipated “mass” layoff, are we going to see a re-structured Verizon? Thr left-behind employeees will be shufled?

Nov 20. Major MAJOR reorganization…talking a reversal of the whole New Verizon thing launched a few years ago. Teams shuffled. 30-40% layoffs. Gonna be total chaos.

💥 “Too many layers. Too much overlap.” That’s the official reason Target just gave for cutting 1,800 corporate jobs — right before the holidays.

Let’s call it what it is:
A corporate hangover from years of over-hiring, over-layering, and under-leading.

While executives play musical chairs and consultants whisper “simplify” into boardrooms, real people — talented, loyal humans — are getting blindsided with a “Team Huddle” calendar invite that changes their lives.

Target says this isn’t about cost cutting.
But when you eliminate nearly 8% of your HQ workforce and scrap another 800 vacant roles, it sure looks like an “optimization” deck dressed in empathy fonts.

The saddest part?

They didn’t just lose roles. They lost trust, culture, and identity — piece by piece, meeting by meeting, memo by memo — until “Joy!” became a tagline instead of a truth.

And now, the same leaders who created the layers are holding “listening sessions” about the pain they caused.

Make it make sense.

If you’re still standing in retail or corporate America, take notes.
👉 Bloat is the first step toward bloodletting.
👉 “Simplify” means someone’s about to be sacrificed.
👉 And “we value our team” usually ends with a legal disclaimer.

The real headline isn’t that Target laid off 1,800 people.

It’s that every major company could be one reorg away from calling it “progress.”

This merger is really making me think about who bought who? So far looks like a lot of Xerox folks got cut in favor of Lex and their processes. I guess that’s the big solution? As always, it’s just rearranging chairs on the deck of the Titanic.

Spill if you hear any juicy information.
Layoffs, reorganization, realignment.
Maybe JRC is selling us...

Ally Financial had layoffs today, impacting about 2% of employees as part of workforce consolidation and process optimization (oh, this sounds so official). Ally is shifting teams and focus... it's reorganizing its structure let's say they are seeking "efficiencies". The comms are out - I know some in Charlotte were among those affected.

The cuts are mostly concentrated in upper and middle management w/managers + above most impacted, they hammered folks with no dir reports (or low # of dir reports). Some folks claim that that some groups began seeing cuts on Halloween Friday, but that has not been confirm and most folks did not hear about it...

Last Friday someone spilled the beans ahead of time, see @OP+1k8x5qazb and pretty much was 100% on target.

This round of layoffs is now over, you can go to your cube and relax until the next layoff event which is certainly almost behind the corner.

Good luck all.

Any news?

the only way to start this turnaround is to start by removing everyone at VP and above. they were complicit is creating this culture and never stood up against these practices

Are we done with RIFs for 2025? I get that we will always have smaller RIFs but is the major one done with? Do we historically have RIFs during the holidays? Are there going to be changes to organizations because of the massive amount of RIFs in October?

With yesterday's announcement of the T&D reorg there were a lot of people laid off, but it's hard to know the scope since they don't announce anything anymore. What's everyone hearing? I know of four tech VPs that were let go, and it sounds like a bunch of SDs/ADs/Mgrs as well, and I know of at least a handful of individual contributor from one specific area.

Has anyone heard anything about the "location strategy" they mentioned at the end of July? The Tulsa office still hasn't heard anything and it's been 3 months.

Operations being rolled into VCG, 50% staff reduction incoming.

Clemmer did the same thing with AGERE and LSI in the early 2000's. Starboard sees a huge return on share price, sells of course. Good call on Starboard's part brining Clemmers to the table.

There is going to be be some major reorgs and fat cutting. I don't think the Triquint-RFMD Lackeys will survive overall. Arrangements like five supervisors for the the same group of people will not bode well.

There will be massive duplication of services. Redundant groups will be addressed.
Watch the management! True test of character now, watch what your manager shares with you. More than likely only concerned about themselves. And rightfully so.
This is an IP grab for Skyworks. Maybe some niche designers will be absorbed. Personally, I feel it couldn't happen to a more deserving management group!

Just in time for Christmas too!

Really! J become chairwoman.. so many laid off (some were so good resources),so many are still suffering under some id*t thanks to the reorg

The reorg seems big, but there was no clarification whether there will be layoffs or not.

Can someone well-informed please comment?

Does anyone know what the new regional structure will look like after they drop down to 3 VPs in GNT?

Anyone know what merch org changes are happening?

Has any division been required to sign away their Grandfathered compensation as part of the reorganization? (Bonus/Stock Options)

It was presented as a company wide initiative as a way to invest more labor in to stores.

It’s been a few months since the last one and the holidays are coming. Wait they did shake up a few of the incompetent last week!

Have we heard any rumblings for this org? A lot of support roles for the different call centers. Quality analysts, Data analysts, Access team, Workforce Management, Vendor Business Partners, Everyone in the call centers, etc

Does anyone know if TC (creative) will be impacted? Considering that last Aug they had some lay offs and a recent org update too.

There's a buzz new round of changes are coming ONCE AGAIN to people's manager.

Chapter leads, group chapter leads, delivery team leads are going to have new fancy titles.

Not sure what's the future for associates level 5-7.

Anyone knows what's the new team structure?
