#reorganization

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.

Predictions indicate that ExxonMobil may face significant layoffs in 2025 due to ongoing cost-cutting measures and restructuring efforts.

Context and Predictions

Recent discussions among employees and industry analysts suggest that ExxonMobil is preparing for substantial workforce reductions over the next few years. Concerns have been raised about the company's commitment to achieving $7 billion in structural cost savings, which may lead to layoffs across various departments and locations, including key operational areas in the United States and internationally.

Employee Sentiments

Many employees express anxiety about job security, citing a culture of increased micromanagement, turnover, and a push for higher productivity with fewer resources. There are indications that the company may continue to outsource jobs and reduce benefits, further contributing to a challenging work environment.

Financial Performance

While ExxonMobil reported strong financial results in the second quarter of 2025, including earnings of $7.1 billion, the company is also focusing on cost-saving strategies to maintain profitability amid fluctuating market conditions. This dual focus on financial performance and cost reduction may lead to difficult decisions regarding staffing levels.
ExxonMobil

In summary, while ExxonMobil's financial health appears robust, the combination of cost-cutting initiatives and employee concerns suggests that layoffs could be a significant aspect of the company's strategy moving forward into 2025. Employees and stakeholders are advised to stay informed about developments as the situation evolves.

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”

JPL employees warned of October layoffs during reorganization

https://nasawatch.com/personnel-news/jplers-get-layoff-update-letter/

Companies and locations: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory - Pasadena CA, JPL Human Resources

JPL staff received an HR email referencing a Phase Two reorganization and potential layoffs in October, with warnings that a large portion of the workforce could be impacted by mid October 2025. The note also referenced return to office requirements for remaining teleworkers.

Employees were advised to update personal contact information and to move personal items off JPL devices, highlighting the seriousness of the restructuring timeline.

It’s beyond frustrating to watch how remote employees — many of whom have dedicated years to this company — are being slowly frozen out. If leadership has already decided that remote workers outside a few select hubs have no future here, the right thing to do is be transparent and offer severance, not string people along with empty promises and blocked opportunities.

They’ve dismantled Tech Risk under the guise of org consolidation and pushed everything into the new Corporate Functions structure. Fine. But now, they’re openly saying they’ll only hire into this “new” org if you’re located in Minneapolis, Charlotte, or New York. Translation: if you’re not physically near a hub, your career progression stops here — and you can’t even apply for internal roles.

No options. No support. Just silence.

The message is loud and clear — and it’s incredibly disrespectful to the people who’ve been loyal through tough times, reorgs, and chaos. If you’re going to treat remote employees like they don’t exist, at least have the decency to let them go with dignity — not hang them out to dry while pretending everything’s business as usual.

Would be hard to believe there is a sale of a 145 year old company. But a Polaris project employee reorganization (reduction) is more likely. My guess, if you don’t need to physically turn the pipe. Your job will be sent elsewhere.

Good luck everyone.

People got laid off today, and there was a flattening of the org.
Somebody posted this yesterday, is this true? We haven't heard anything, and I recon we would have if it was really a full reorg.

Any layoffs in procurement? It was apart of WPL but got reorganized under finance now

Let’s discuss the shale and tight post reorg mess. Over two months in following wave 1 and people still don’t know what is going on with workflows with minimal guidance from leadership because they don’t know. Folks at the working level are doing their best to figure it out. morale is at an all time low. When will the management stars and their followers who designed the new org be held accountable for the mess.

I saw information that the number of reports under a manager is being reviewed. Any news? What does this mean?

I survived ER in August and was moved to a new position. This new team seems a mix of different grade levels (not confirmed, just my feeling).

Anyone heard of talk, or maybe think that, in the next months there could be another re-alignment of levels and pay reduction?

I personally wouldn’t put it past them, but at the same time I’d have hoped they at least figured out this new team I’m on since it’s net new.

I’m seeing many resignations on LinkedIn following the selections.

I’m seeing teams recruiting externally for data scientists after layoffs.

I’m hearing of unqualified people, with no background in data science, being given positions, whilst others are let go.

I’m hearing that AI has been moved under CNE?!

WTAF?

HR Reorg.. what a joke! Rotating favorites is the new strategy. What will their resumes say.. I laid off people when we had the category offense, I laid off people in the consumer offense, I laid off the laid off people… ha ha ha.
The CHRO is a joke, her minions are a joke.

How are things going with the centralized hubs for each LOB? I left in July 2024 and remember getting emails about the hubs and cities they want to operate in and offer people relocation packages to keep their jobs. Just curious… thanks!

Ive read 9/24 is a round of layoffs but I have also heard February Q1 after makor restructuring is done from Fishbowl. When will it be TTS turn?

We've had so many reorgs in the last few years and the only thing that changes after it's done is we have fewer employees who have to work more for the same money. Nothing else ever changes. What kind of pathetic, incompetent leadership only uses layoffs to prop themselves up?

Anyone else heading of layoffs in the US soon?

Anyone know anything about the suspected wealth changes now that the “leader” is hitting his 100 day milestone? Sounds like it’s in Oct. - saw a post a while ago that mentioned fall shifts.. is this it?

He doesn’t want all the leaders at his table? Potentially merging groups within his leadership. SLs will turn into PLs and their skills along with SMs will be reassessed.. as they merge “delivery” under technology. Hearing VP IC in jeopardy. Delivery teams will merge. Whatever happened to BME? Not that it was working.

2 groups in wealth are quite large and hearing he doesn’t like top heavy. I’d appreciate the shake up since my group is a joke.

Was told by Kiker direct that BCMs moving to business and control will have centralized oversight and closer engagement with second line. Makes sense and just like other efficiencies, this is going to have staff reduction to weed out all the unnecessary layers with control.

Comcast is planning to cut jobs at its biggest unit that houses its Xfinity internet, mobile and pay television business, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday, as the company attempts to centralize operations and bolster its broadband business.

Starting January, Comcast will remove a layer between the corporate and regional offices, a shake-up that will streamline the management of the unit but also reduce headcount.

Hows Apache doing in these interesting times?
Will APA dump the North Sea assets on BPs lap…and say See Yeah…
Is the Permian basin witnessing hard declines yet? Daily ESP failures…
Will Surinam deliver as promised or at substantially lower rates?

You define the future…

Any thoughts on the reorg ?

More layoffs today as part of "reorganizing" aka send more jobs over to India. Laid off some long time key players. Not sure how that will help with their tech consolidation. This place just continues to tank morale. Sad.

It appears that another major reorganization may be announced this week. I’ve heard it could affect benefits—possibly pensions in particular. That said, the source isn’t especially reliable, so it’s difficult to know for sure.

With the acquisition of FL coming any rumblings of reorgs within DSG?

Looking to file a class action. They know information integral to our decision on what to post for, share it with a select few, tell selective lies and half truths to the extent that this reorg is unfair and favors those privy to this information over others. Heard from more than a few that conversations with reps/job owners steer into way too personal questions in an attempt to disqualify us.

Don’t share too much, but if anyone knows of a specialty law firm to get started.

Fred Meyer layoffs hit Portland amid Kroger reorganization

• Fred Meyer parent company Kroger is cutting 1000 jobs across the country as part of a reorganization strategy that started Aug. 26.

The pending reorg is draining the company. There’s no information and no transparency about what’s coming next. At the same time, leadership keeps asking for more and more work without providing org clarity. Do they realize how unreasonable it feels to demand so much while sharing so little?

With the CEO stepping down, it’s hard not to feel uncertain about what’s next. Whoever takes over is likely to bring major changes. And we all know that frontline employees are usually the first to feel the impact of any reorganization or cuts. The economy’s slipping, the job market isn’t great, and many of us are already stretched thin, both financially and emotionally. A little stability would go a long way in easing the pressure we’ve all been feeling. But right now, it’s hard to see where that might come from.

As a cost cutting measure both sites are now under one leadership team. The next step is to start eliminating duplicate roles.

Get ready for a wild ride

Any one have any clue when they are going to start announcing the new structure and who is reporting into whom?

How will CS fare?

APAC

As I understand current APLA will be absorbed.
