#reorganization

Well, here we go again. We are going to start a new narrative cycle with the street based on a magical restructure. Excom is counting on this holding up the stock and holding up hope for improved performance - "we just need to make these changes first and we will be poised for massive growth over the next 5 years". This will largely be a cost reduction exercise and will set the table for massive off-shoring of jobs over the next 5 years. I'm sure the narrative will be around increased investment in R&D. Just a reminder - that was the narrative when HQ was moved to Dublin. It didn't happen. Any increase in the R&D line was an illusion. Incremental dollars never actually made it to organic Technology or Development. It actually went down over time. But don'w worry, Excom and Sr leadership will make a fortune.

2nd quarter
Finalized in April, announced in May?

What are you hearing?

Heard big re-org coming to offshore the teams to india

Grapevine tells me that a large Sales FY27 Go To Market Reorg is set for May.

Early May we will hear about Two items:
1) You must live in your Sales territory
(No more living in New York covering Florida for example)
You can find another gig where you live (good luck)
You can relocate on your own dime to be inside territory
Or you can leave Oracle

2) Sales Territories will be defined as Enterprise and General Territory FY27 for all of ORCL not just commercial

Goal is soft RIF: Still too many people and too many territories

No clue if any of this is accurate.
Let the world know if you know.

Can’t only be Medicare can it?

Sony Pictures Entertainment is undergoing a major operational restructuring. The company will eliminate hundreds of roles across its film, TV, and corporate divisions. These changes are described as strategic for growth, not primarily cost-driven. New focus areas include franchise strategy, anime, and video game adaptations. CEO Ravi Ahuja communicated these organizational shifts in a staff memo.

Pendo announced layoffs affecting 90 positions. This reduction impacts approximately 10% of its workforce. Thirty of the affected employees worked at the Raleigh headquarters. CEO Todd Olson cited company reorganization as the reason. The company is adapting to changes in the technology landscape and AI tools.

So why is store for the ones who stay after Early Retirement fold leave. The big reorganization for the ONE HP. Anyone hearing how the new reorg is structured and is it successful in Canada?

Based in Europe in the Product org. We were told this week that by July 1st they will have the reorg pretty much done and seems like layoffs are coming due to the TAM.
What's other orgs hearing and what region are you in?

While this doesn't tell us the exact number, we saw 775 jobs cut in supply centers, so the figure will probably be less than that, especially since tech cuts turn around higher cost reduction per head than distribution centers.

On-site meeting to align with the new re-org. Maybe an April list.

I am unsure if the layoff decisions were the same unilaterally across all orgs, but I was told that people knew yesterday afternoon and leadership had a say in it. In at least my organization they picked some high earners and some people who due to re-orgs were sort of put into bad spots.

Got the morning email and still have no information on whats next and we only get benefits til end of next week. How nice.

Here in California we were just notified we are going to RTM roles. We need to reapply for our jobs. Happening at start of quarter 3

So let’s all just admit the extension is nothing great . our union leadership took what ever was offered after the company 2 times prior shut them down .So let me say I voted yes ,but I really am tired of the leadership in all locals patting themselves on the back .In the end they continued the scrw ing extension on the retirees and now the possibility of us retiring .The whole deal was Dan needed to settle to move to the next stage !!There will be major management layoffs and reorganizations .Then by end of year there will be basic Eisp offered to union associates probably across board .Anyone who wants out or can afford it will be allowed to leave .The final stage is yet to be determined but may include the separation break up of lines of business.After that if that happens the sky is the limit to be used sold off or spun off .One things for sure the contract extension is not the end but the beginning of the end for union and management in wha I would call the end days .So advise anyone with under 26 years or under 55 start looking for somewhere else to begin your career

All in-house solutions, especially those in FPE, are no longer viable. Adoption solutions from the market is faster and allows the use of professional solutions, so adoption doesn't require as many engineers as building. Hence the reorg and layoffs.

No work from home E-mail today?
No reorg coming week?

Lila Kate Trucking LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Friday. The Roanoke, Alabama-based carrier seeks to reorganize under Subchapter V. The company estimated assets and liabilities between $1 million and $10 million. Management stated operations will continue during the restructuring process. The bankruptcy court issued a notice of several filing deficiencies.

Is the now tech strategy different from MD’s? and if not, aside from new LT appointments, why the layoffs considering a justification was given for the last reorg was mere months ago.

Is the comp bleeding that bad?

I was laid off and stupid enough to come back to just go through a reorganization 6 years later and realized I was going to be let go again. I was smart enough the second time to get out before it happened. It doesn't matter what group you work for or how important your position is at Oracle, upper management doesn't care. I was in management and your manager will be informed there is a reorganization. They might have an HR meeting to discuss how the layoff will work but they don't have names until the day of the event. This is how Oracle works. You are just a piece of toilet paper on a roll. There are thousands of rolls and when Oracle decides to take a dump, well you might be the end result of being wiped and flushed. Your used up and it doesn't matter how good, valuable or whatever you are. I have seen smart, creative, intelligent people let go by Oracle and wondered what were they thinking. Wiped and flushed. Putting yourself through stress and anxiety will be your life at Oracle if you let them control you. When you accept the fact that your just toilet paper on the roll, they will need to take a dump and you could be the next sheet to be wiped and flushed. Its just the Oracle way. Good luck. Keep the resume updated and never turn down an opportunity to interview.

This organization looks very strange, I mean the domain merger and the fact that VPs report to VP. On top of that, there are strange creations like Tech Mod, a lot of in-house solutions and a lot of lazy engineering dinosaurs in various positions from Sr Dir to Engineer level, on the other hand, the huge layoffs can destsbilize engineering teams and stability of systems/infrastructure for Nike business.

Anyone know anything yet about when and how many?

A massive reorg is being planned to reduce business units , and consolidate around AI document management systems. Think Content Server + Aviator.

BCG must be great sales people as they have no idea how to operate or run an energy business but we still listen to them and act on their recommendations. The Global Ops Reorganization will be an absolute clusterf. No body will know who’s doing what and mark my words, there will be a negative impact

At UC Riverside, failing upwards has evolved into standard operating procedure. The institution essentially functions as a sanctuary for bad management, sustained by an administration so terrified of litigation that firing underperformers is virtually off the table. Instead of addressing staggering incompetence, the preferred strategy is to play musical chairs with the dead weight, shuffling the worst offenders into newly invented roles under the guise of "reorganization."

This creates a fascinating dynamic where staff and leadership fundamentally do not know how to execute basic, day-to-day operations. Everything is handled purely in theory. Committees will spend weeks philosophizing over conceptual frameworks and best practices, while the most fundamental, ground-level workplace tasks completely collapse in reality.

Naturally, the fallout from this environment is directed to Human Resources. The prevalent, yet misguided, belief among staff is that HR exists to salvage morale or fix broken departments. In reality, HR functions strictly as the university's legal meat shield. Their primary objective is not to protect employees from toxic leadership, but to calculate exactly how much institutional dysfunction can be legally harbored without triggering a lawsuit or a compliance violation.

The annual "anonymous" climate surveys remain a staple, of course - providing the perfect illusion of progress while changing absolutely nothing.

Thoughts on the April 1 re-org?

The cuts have created major disruptions that no one seems interested in fixing. Entire teams are crippled, many managers can't get up to speed (unsurprisingly), and critical gaps in roles and workload go completely unaddressed. Was there ever a real reorganization plan? Pleasing the markets was never a sustainable long-term strategy.

A $300M reorg charge will be taken. I take it this is for more than just the distribution center closures that were announced.

GT has 6 locations: PHK, EHQ, ITC, GC, ATC, PTC. Will they all remain after the reorg? For long time, recrutment has been limited to ITC… and probably one site per US, Europe, Asia will be enough.

With the reorganization that’s been happening lately, and hearing there may be more changes coming, it seems like it could be part of preparing the company for a smoother acquisition.

In situations like this, layoffs sometimes continue periodically leading up to a sale. After the deal is completed, there’s often another round of restructuring during the integration phase, which can happen about six months to a year after the sale. In some cases, there may even be another round if the acquiring company decides to consolidate teams or overlapping roles.

Work has become a complete insane asylum. Happy employee appreciation day for those still here….for now! Everything is great and always has been. Nonstop pointless and chaotic reorgs are our winning strategy. Proud to post it note my love for vz!

Will there be a lot more reorgs this year?

Pattern recognition exists.
Why have a random CSAW right before every 'reorg'?

One thing that Optum lacks is Change Management processes. They will reorganize teams and expect people to get on board or even understand the new function. And then wonder why morale and performance is low. And with the RIFS happening good people are not performing at the capacity because NO ONE knows what they are supposed to be doing. Because leaders do not either. I missed when leaders actually led. Now everyone just wants to peacock and look the part. What a sad time in our company.

So after the multi phased layoff, re-orgs, I have a MD 3 layers up that does not understand the tech they are over. No shocker there, but they are making decisions that more than hamper operations. I can’t be specific naturally but let’s just say they are out of their depth.

It’s like “so you need nails to build a house, are you sure you can’t cut back on the number of nails used? or let’s try using half the nails, how about that?. If you aren’t sure if the structure can remain standing, then just build half of the house.”

That’s as close to an example I can give without jeopardizing my employment but you can see how odd and reckless this is. Now imagine trying to explain the folly of using half of the nails and\or building only half of the house and they just don’t get it.

on the ask me anything session. Here's a summary:
"blah blah, strategic blah blah excited, blah blah Ai, blah blah blah No Layoffs"

So hard to believe any of this, the actions of the past years do nothing to support them. The leaders are powerless, only Christian, Dominik and S/O have the power and make the cuts.

In November of 2021, nike stock traded at nearly $170 per share. Five years later and the stock is trading consistently sideways in the low $60’s, with no end in sight. Despite leadership purchases, leadership changes, constant layoffs, reorg’s, buy backs and a retail / wholesale reset, nike is one of the worst performing stocks out there. Today it’s trading at $59 and may go lower. A nearly %280 drop in valuation. Unbelievable.

Big changes in TA happening starting March. Is this going to lead to more layoffs? Looks like it's mostly about managers?

I visited here last year when there was a reorg and am now on the outside, so wanted to leave a few things I learned.

• There are a lot of useless managers and just as many su-k-ups to match. Don’t expect them to ever do the right thing, they won’t.
• Constant rumors wrecked people’s mental health. Many people are just trying to hang on until X date. Don’t be one. Make a kicka$$ plan B, one that you look forward to.
• The layoff process and package will not be equitable. Don’t believe you will get what others got. And don’t think they will be kind.
• Loved the benefits, the mission and the customers. Made many great friends and don’t regret my time there. But life on the outside is way better than I expected, don’t be afraid to leave.

Good luck everyone!

Saw this on LinkedIn today, what a joke! I don't work at Kyndryl anymore, but I remember my time there and it was brutal. Leadership constantly switching to the next big thing, reorgs every 3 to 6 months, managers who didn't have a clue about what was going on internally or on projects, and a workforce with very low morale. And now "Most Loved Workplaces." Maybe things turned around quickly, lol. I don't think so.
