Many teams impacted today. Veil of secrecy so we’re left to speculation and rumors. They don’t communicate anything. Spent a day watching person after person walk out the door, waiting for my own 15 minute meeting to pop up on my calendar. I fear there’s more to come. You think clients are frustrated now? Wait until they find out these services they’re paying so much for are all being sent off shores. This isn’t the company it used to be. We felt seen and appreciated. Our leaders smiled and talked to every one of every level. Whether you were a fellow VP or custodian, they knew your name and said hello. I don’t even know what our new leader looks like outside of his picture on line.

Streaming giant Netflix has recently implemented significant workforce reductions, impacting approximately 1,000 employees globally. Among those affected in the London office was Anna Mallett, the vice president of physical production for the U.K. and local-language content across EMEA. Her departure follows a broader trend of job cuts within the company, with the U.K. operations now seeing the effects. Mallett had been instrumental in overseeing productions for popular series and films during her tenure. This move comes as Netflix seeks to refine its operational execution in key markets.

Anyone knows that backstory on the reason he is gone?

Not that he will be missed but just an odd ending for a ver long career

I'm a Director (level 13) and have had absolutely no inclusion/participation in anything RIF/layoff related. Weeks ago were asked by our VP boss to give very brief rundown of what each of our direct reports was working on. That was it.

I don't know if one of my direct reports is getting laid off until they actually are.

Found this buried in an older thread's replies, I thought more people should read this, as this question gets asked a lot. The OP is @e2+1m2gtzksc.

Do VPs within the regions already know who from their org will be impacted?

I know it’s been several months since she left her VP role of design, but anyone have any dish on why she’s no longer with Target? Is that the reason why Isaac Mizrahi is now in her place?

Curious to know what bonuses look like for everyone at Citi. I was a VP, and my first year I received no bonus at all. In the years that followed, my annual bonuses typically ranged from $800 to $1,000.

I’m interested to hear what others have received, particularly those at the VP level. Were my bonuses unusually low, or was this pretty standard across the bank?

Make it make sense. These millionaire VP’s and CEO’s living large. I can’t afford a new car and dedicated my life to this stinking company. And for those of you who say oh your choice yea well I didn’t have much of a choice. That doesn’t excuse this company from paying people the way they do. I’m sick of it. They just keep piling the work on with a salary from 2017. No matter how much people scream about it on heartbeat it just gets ignored. I can’t stand them. DDAT blows.

Regardless of all the problems and challenges of more leadership levels making company progress worse they still adding new VPs especially in NS IT where there is absolutely no progressive contributions to company’s goal from leadership levels and they lay off contributors I.e AD and below

Anyone know how they decide who will get cut? Do they hire someone from the outside? Do VP decide? Do they just pick departments and cut? How do they pick who is spared.

SN, CB?

Curious about a post about PHCO moving to new VP's. Is more restructuring occurring this week. Please share... Our department keeps canceling meeting and rescheduling to a later date... I find this odd..

Orchestrate cross-functional alignment, manage transformation frameworks, and maintain status/OKR reporting for executive leadership

New location in El Segundo, CA opened today and from what I understand the basic setup follows what they did in Atlanta and plan to do in Dallas.

The good:

• Compared to the increasingly dumpy and dreary space we left (the old DIRECTV hq), the building and facilities are a legit improvement
• Sit-stand desks are nice.

The bad:

• Layout could only have been designed by people who have their own offices. It''s open plan slop everyone hates. You can hear every conversation and teams call. The old space, while dumpy, had decent personal space and a modicum of privacy. Great environment for doing focused work. But there is pickleball!!!
• Of course, the geniuses continue with the no assigned seats policy. Yes, there are "neighborhoods" but they didn't have enough seats so people in some groups had to use overflow space. You can toss the collaboration BS out the window.
• Everyone got new chairs, which should be nice except that the seat backs are hard plastic, like you're sitting in the upper deck at a football game. They're going to need to swap the onsite shrink with a chiropractor. Back was ki-ling me by the end of the day. And these cheapo imitations of Herman Miller chairs will be the standard across the company. At least the VPs have the same chairs.

So basically, this isn't awful but coming here is still completely pointless. A fresh coat of paint and pickleball can't fix stupid.

Good leadership

Several people leaving the company including VP of S&T & mention that S&T will no longer exist. What will happen to those teams?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate our workplace culture in terms of toxicity?
(1 = not toxic at all, 10 = extremely toxic)

For those who’ve been around long enough to see BD at its best, do you think a change in leadership could bring those good days back? Does anyone think the incoming CXO can shake things up, cut unnecessary VP positions, save money, and get this organization functioning again?

This round of layoffs is only for managers, directors, and VPs, not ICs. Have you heard of any ICs getting laid off too?

The Executives continue to underperform and the middle managers get the bullet. They are firing the subject matter experts with legacy knowledge. Meanwhile, new VPs are brought in and are creating chaos. Where is this going? How is this company going to continue to function? Also, who is going to train the entry level staff? Someone needs to turn this around before it's too late. Can we take a vote on replacing Mark K?

Vp or director?

When somebody said this round will be just managers, directors, and VPs, I knew it sounded too good to be true. Not only was it not true, so far I haven't heard of a single manager or higher who were affected, at least in my area. And to think, this could have been a useful layoff.

Does anyone else specifically in corp maybe in the marketing realm sick of this phrase? I’ve heard it more in the past couple of weeks than I have in the past year, but it’s not the first time I’ve heard it and basically to me It’s permission for someone to be an absolute a--hole towards you, gaslight you, treat you like garbage, tell you your content is sh-t and then turn around and be told to just assume that they meant that feedback positively, it is the epitome of gaslighting and it just seems so fitting with this company adopted the expression so much that a VP shared something as a mandate and I’m talking about Tracy who introduced it I think to the world lol

Backend mainframe area. the area that ED was holding off for years. Few H1Bs under him. Says yes to all and work like they are still in British india. Hides all the truth and makes him happy. Comes out of the call the dash out to offshore and their directs. All this because they are visa slaves.

Now the new guy came in and its shaking the whole caucus. ED is loosing the grip . JO and his nepotism hires are not safe. PMO group stacked with all high grades and does barely minimum. Oh the guy became VP in no time just because of nepotism and can barely understand what he speaks out.

I worked as a senior director for centene for almost 9 years. There are several VPS that I would love to see handed their backside and would love to know if there is a list of VPs who have been let go, laid off, or left the company. There are several of them that I would love to see them on. The welfare line are absolutely broke. They deserve it.

With so many HR VPs enjoying high level salary and benefits how is it possible to have so many fake resume based employees on H1B. VPs must get to office and do their job.. Many VPs work from home many days..

Like a dr-g test, Please run the resume through Lexis-Nexis based in Alpharetta right down the street from Fiserv. They are a national risk solutions provider.

You will find a ton of surprises.. Resume is a mutually trusted document.. if anyone lies on it, fire immediately and report to USCIS.

Employment History: Confirming your previous job titles, exact dates of employment, and reasons for leaving by cross-referencing company payroll databases or directly contacting HR departments.
( check with IRS for payroll tax history, you will be shocked to know what kind of employment 'history' these folks have )

Education & Qualifications: Verifying degrees, graduation years, certifications, and diplomas directly with universities and credentialing bodies.
( a ton of folks have fake degrees from Karnataka or printed in a random press )

Professional Licenses: Ensuring that any claimed legal, medical, or technical licenses are active, valid, and free of disciplinary sanctions. ( I am not even getting into this topic )

Heads up. The big layoff is hitting Sept 8th. >10,000. Source a gossip from leaving VP told a m6 who told m4 I report to..

...can confirm layoffs happening in OCI. VPs and IC5s among the losses. No idea how many. Came via sudden meeting invite on Tues mid-morning pacific time

They have to cut at the bottom to keep creating new senior roles. Developers in my group get RIFd and more bloat gets added

'FIS is looking for a VP, Head of Program Management & Strategic Initiatives to join our Technology organization at FIS in Jacksonville, FL'.

'At FIS, we're looking for a VP of Technology Partnerships & Vendor Management'

Wow – Just saw a posting they are hiring yet another VP for the Shopify migration….Shopify is such a mess we had to roll back – how is yet another overpaid VP going to fix it….

Make this make sense please!

So help me understand, they got rid of bpSolutions and instead have instead made a big central organisation under Upstream HSE & Ops. One VP pre reorg to 6VPs post re-org. Surely the cottage industry has just shifted to satisfy some power hungry and egoistical characters. What is the point and what a disaster!

They are next. Most of them couldn't get a middle manager job outside of this company.

The recent post on Culture saw a few positive references to Pat Daniels - reminders of what a great leader he is though sadly someone many current employees would not have experienced.

We are a big company now so it’s great to share with colleagues who the current great leaders are.

Let’s keep this positive shall we? Enbridge HR will have the thread removed if there negative mention of certain VPs.

I was in a meeting. The VP confirmed that it will happen by the end of August. No more details.

Seriously, how many VPs does one company need?

At Omnicell, the org chart sometimes feels less like a lean healthcare technology company and more like a VP convention with an occasional product roadmap thrown in.

You have to wonder:

👉 What does everyone actually do all day?
👉 How many “strategic alignment” meetings or “workshops” can one organization possibly have?
👉 And how many VPs does it take to schedule another meeting with the other VPs?

Then there are titles that make you stop and wonder whether the role exists because the company genuinely needs it—or because somebody needed another box on the organizational chart.

And yes… VP of Internal Communications.

That one might actually be justified. Someone has to spend all day figuring out how to turn:

“We’re eliminating your position”

into

“We’re strategically realigning our workforce to unlock future opportunities.” 😂

Maybe the real innovation at Omnicell isn’t automation.

It’s automating the creation of executive titles.

How many VPs are too many?

Asking for the shareholders. 👀

Then it's only because you couldn't ever get a similar type of role at another company, right? I'm genuinely trying to think if there is any other reason. Seems like if you were able you would be long gone by now...

Been noticing some VP roles posted as "remote". That seems odd. Like are they just posting it as remote and then giving it to someone who is already here that wants to be remote.
