In essence these layoffs and reorg have taken the winds out of my team. the morale is so low it’s un-existing. everyone sounds miserable, noone answers to queries. No one is motivated. my team was a top performing team before all of this. people are scared n rightfully so
anyone else experiencing the same?

They’ve cut ~20% of the workforce today as, “ the business reorganization we announced today, which will impact approximately 20% of our global workforce. The intent of the reorganization is to simplify our global engineering operations, reduce our fixed costs, lower general and administrative expenses, and accelerate our move up-market and away from down-market SMB.”
Everyone ready for another shuffle? That time is coming again!
Elon eliminates non‑producing technical authority
He doesn’t keep:
Chief Engineers who don’t engineer
Scientists who don’t build
Fellows who don’t ship
Architects who don’t design
Highly paid engineers that do nothing, should be let go.
Does anyone know whether FILI was renamed recently?
Who now truly owns delivery if scrum masters, squad leads, and coordination layers are reduced?
This is how I am understanding it:
Is T Brown still our CEO or did she get RIF’d? When is the next commercial coming out?

another sign that modern day Medtronic lacks the values of the company founded by Earl is the Medtronic PR spin that layoffs are just “rumors.” To show professionalism toward the possibly thousands of employees who were let go this week, it would go a long way to publicly acknowledge layoffs, thank former employees for their work, and speak to how it is a consequence of re-organization, even if layoffs really are a result of executive incompetence more than anything.
Workers bought into the company. They dedicated years of their lives to the mission. They played the game and built careers here. There’s no reason to pretend they never existed. It’s amazing how PR works so hard to defend the company’s public image at the expense of tanking morale internally. It really is shameful.
More than 5,800 federal public lands workers departed last year. This affected eight Mountain West states. Agencies like the U.S. Forest Service saw significant declines. Many workers were reassigned to the Interior Secretary's office. This reorganization may lead to slower decision-making.

Someone on my team is leaving but we are not getting a backfill...
The concept of “reverse diversity” came to me during this chaotic RIF and ReOrg. Apart from architects and data scientists, it is the third problem Fidelity must fix.
If you have a team with 100% African Americans in tech, it’ll be odd. 100% African Americans in an NBA team, not odd. 100% whites in a tech team? Not diversified but also not odd. How do you rationalize the oddness of team diversity?
With this understanding, now think about the 100% Indians teams? (Of course I'm exaggerating to make a point but not far from reality). 100% Indian teams is such a commonplace in Fidelity tech that it’s not odd at all. There lies the problem.
Hence what we need is reverse diversity. Those 100% Indian teams need to be diluted to make them roughly mirror the population outside of Fidelity tech.
When the dusts of current RIF and ReOrg settle, architects and the data scientists are the two most costly and counter-productive roles that needs the closest scrutinies.
The existence of those helicopter architects is the single inhibiting cohorts to an engineering driven culture. If the premise of those tenured architects is to guide the weak engineering teams, it’s not working and will never work (that’ why you don’t see the architect role in big tech such as Google and Meta):
If you pull those architects Gods down from the FAE heaven and embed them into the engineering teams, their unwillingness to do the dirty chores and their proud refusal to assimilate will create tension between themselves and rest of the team like oil and water. Neither party will be happy.
That leaves the only option which is to reduce the architect role dramatically if not demolish it altogether: (1) Keep only a few true architects in FAE who either (a) looks cross-functional for duplication and consolidation opportunities or (b) possesses niche knowledge and skills such as security, internationalization or accessibility. (2) Fire the rest or demote them to principal (or just give them the VP title) level IC and disperse them into individual engineering teams.
With the deadweight architects out of hand, we may start growing the engineering team and culture by trusting engineers with the architectural decisions in a collective fashion among the junior, senior, principle and tech leads of a team.
Now let’s turn our attention to data scientists. WARNING: they’re so much worse than the architects!
The complete AI ignorance of the upper managements makes themselves easy targets to the scammed by Fidelity’s fake data-scientists (compared with those who can build GPT):
Why don’t they train foundational LLMs that utilizes Fidelity’s private data, like Bloomberg, Captital One or Morgan Stanley? They can’t. The whole data scientists community from top to bottom are outdated. They’re stuck in the old traditional machine learning paradigms of regression, decision trees and scikitlearn. They haven’t or can’t learn the new AI paradigm which appeared on in 2017.
That leaves us with three options: (1) Fire majority of them to make room (2) Demote the remaining good data scientists to sort of higher level AI analysts who conduct experiments and compare vendor/HuggingFace models. (3) Hire true data scientist who are either experienced with or educated on the current paradigm of AI, that is those laid off from big techs and those fresh graduates who learned current paradigm of AI at school.
Architects and Data Scientists, the attic where all the dusts collect, need a desperate cleansing. With these two roles straighten up, Fidelity 2.0 may start!
PayPal announced a major reorganization to streamline its business into three core divisions and accelerate growth, alongside several leadership changes and executive departures. The company emphasized simplification, stronger accountability, and increased focus on AI-driven transformation as part of its long-term strategy.
While no layoffs were formally announced, restructurings of this scale are often accompanied by workforce reductions. As PayPal aligns teams to its new operating model and removes overlapping roles, it is widely expected that a reduction in headcount—potentially affecting around 15% of employees—could follow in the coming weeks to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
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…
Was there a re-org in Ops?
When is the next one? I want to press that EOI button and nope out of here ASAP.
According to multiple sources here in NC, there could be a major reorganization involving GCL, SL, and Architect roles across all the BUs (Starting with wealth and brokerage) . GCLs are largely viewed as paper pushers with no real value, and many G-8 SLs could be pushed down to G7. Architects are seen as another set of dinosaurs from a bygone era , they may soon become extinct as well.SLs in the platfrom squads will be axed or pushed to G7-6 individual contributors

For months conversations have swirled around a changing risk environment @PNC and today, unfortunately several folks in Risk, Compliance and i believe the change office were displaced after an organizational realignment. This comes on the heals of FirstBank and the BAM's. Sadly, it seems like this is just the beginning, not just with PNC, but banking in general. The financial landscape is drastically changing...it feels like 2008 all over again.
What happened to management doing the right thing and being transparent when potential reorganization was in the mix? After more than a decade, I recently retired only to find out that my position was changing and becoming 2 positions. Had they been transparent, a severance package would have come my way - nope. They stayed silent at my expense. Made me remember it’s only a job - and I cared more than management did. Has this happened to anyone else?
They decided everything about the old way was bad. So they changed it all. Constant layoffs now. A reorganization that failed completely. Revenue keeps dropping. All they focus on is cutting costs. Ethics failures keep happening. Promotions go to the wrong people. The environment is toxic. Fear and distrust are everywhere. Leadership never tells us anything useful. If you hated what Ford used to be, you'll love what it's become. The rest of us are just watching it fall apart.
Every time you get an email about a re-organization, you can expect layoffs to follow. This will continue under our current CEO. It’s a way to distract and perform for the board with dismal earnings. Some advice: understand and use AI, you are marked if you don’t; speak up in meetings or you are marked if you don’t; take extra training and courses offered, you are marked if you don’t; if you have unlimited PTO, don’t overuse it, you are marked if you do.

Classic Drum "We know we have been doing badly in pre sales. Strange he kept on saying we are doing good. Finally admits losing customers to other clients, re org of the GIS Sales team.
Looks like his on his way out this his last chance. Dave K has been made the new Sales leader, eventually primed to take over Drums job.
In the last few months, there's been a mass exodus in HI, and sales. Just in the last two weeks HI lost two tenured directors (leaving on their own). Either something is on the horizon I'm not privy to, or people are just tired of the layoffs, poor salary increases, decreased bonus plans, constant re-orgs and enough is enough. It seems there's plenty of other options out in the market right now for people in the same space.
Trying to catch the vibe and see through the fluff here. I see a meeting with potential future board member (JG) on the calendar, an earnings call, an all employee meeting, and then a wider team meeting following that.
Personally, I was going to leave the company in short order, but this feels like re-org and layoff damage control on my calendar.
What’s the temperature in the room where you are? I’m remote and have not been plugged into the roomer mill in years. Any concrete info?
Woodlands or Denver? Who’ll be left, reorganized, stressed waiting for the next hit?
