Be careful out there folks they’re tracking everyone’s KPI for RTO tracker and that data will be used as an input for the upcoming layoffs by VPs and HR

If any VP is on this thread please just tell us how you decided who to layoff. It’s happening at this point. At least you’ll save us having a speculate for the next week. I know you’re supposed to be tight lip, but please please please. Just tell us.

For the SVPs and VPs that were notified, what happens to their roles? Do they just get replaced with someone new? Do their teams get moved under other SVPs or VPs?

If you were in a Roundtable discussion with a VP does that help your chances? LOL

Say you worked under an incredibly ignorant and overly confident VP who wrecked your department and in an attempt to help fix things, you find yourself a target and eventually resign after receiving unethical orders.

My questions are
A. Is there a flagging system for ex employees and if so
B. How can one find out?
C. Can it be challenged?

Feel like there may be hope returning to the Swoosh.

So is there a way for promotion if your manager has not nominated you? Considering your manager is only at VP level and is like your HR manager only. Can someone from the top or anyone else push your promotion if not direct manager?

Is it safe to assume the lists have been distributed and that the VPs are reviewing them?

It is almost certain a new wave of layoffs coming. Put all you got here on this thread. HR, EVPs, SVPs, VPs busy…

Had long talk with my VP. Confirmed large cuts and outsourcing 2026. Budgets close to final 2026 but churn still and earnings. I am probably safe he emphasized LBT wants radical change but feels most old timers are lost entrenched and beyond change ability. Losers. Bringing in new talent at top level and at every single level. Expect focused effort at removing all managers directors VPs which are not top 25% and not Dee technical Same with Gr9 and Gr10 Eng who haven’t implemented or wrote specs in years. get rid of PowerPoint professionals.
Going to be a wild ride. 2025 looks like minor change to what is ahead.

Managers? Directors? Sr. Directors? VPs?

As title says.. I will vote for C. Paul and Vivek (whatever the last name is). They both need to be packed and shipped out asap. They are robbing Verizon. CX su-ks at all levels.

This is from 2007-2008 period when Calgary’s job market was hot. Lots of young engineers were quitting Imperial Oil. Imperial was desperate to retain its people. Salary bumps across the board were in double digits (and not the lower double digits).

I remember attending Engineering VP Eddy Lui’s town hall meeting for the engineers and geoscientists. Eddy was explaining how Imperial Oil had a d-mbbell shaped demography curve - lots of people in their very early careers, lots of people at the end of there career, and almost no-one in the mid-career in the company. The reason for this demography was Imperial’s decision to lay off and not hire anyone in the early and mid 90s. Eddy said, “Never again Imperial will make such a mistake!”. In his words, Imperial will hire engineers at a steady pace irrespective of the company’s situation. Eddy and upper management were worried about the future of the company. When the seniors retire, they would leave a vacuum in the company.

Let’s come to the present now. Some of the folks who attended that session are at the top of the company now. I am telling you, you folks will have to repeat Eddy’s comment when no one will come to Imperial Oil when the market recovers. You will be saying, “Never again Imperial will make such a mistake!”.

I have seen lots of managers VP CDL were laid off this week

Word on the street is that new CAO Scot Rogers summoned ALL VP+ roles from around the world to Possible LA this week. Everyone VP and above. Seriously? Why? Most of those people have zero to do with sales or customers. That's a TON of expense for a company that is underperforming at epic levels and laying off really good people every few months. Has anyone at the top even looked at the stock price recently? TD is being SO poorly managed. Why hasn't the Board fired Steve McMillan yet? He's clearly incapable of steering the ship around the giant iceberg directly in front of him.

Now, that's some serious cheerleading. Cannot wait to change my attitude and execute on this.

A lot of medtronic sites doing cost saving but VP level still can have business trip with just to have meeting on site, why can’t do online meeting which can have cost saving

As the end of the year draws close, VP of Indian origin are planning company funded end of year business trips to be with their friends and extended family trips to India. They don’t have money to fund our bonuses but will do everything immoral to accomplish their ends. Shame on you Shankar under whose watch this company has run aground. It really needs to die so that none of you make any money off this.

Does anyone know the numbers? When will the useless VPs be let go? Totally directionless with no vision.

I'm thrilled to finally share the exciting news that I've been promoted to my dream role as the VP of Merchandising for Asia Pacific and Latin America at Nike!

It's been a busy few months setting up this amazing team for success, but I'm proud to be back home in APLA, leading with passion, commitment, and determination.

After 22 incredible years at Nike, this role is a dream come true. I'm so grateful to the amazing leaders who've supported me throughout my career and believed in me.

Recently offered a VP Product Manager role after six rounds of interviews. I am based out of the Dallas office, curious how roles at this level are? Everyone I interviewed with was great but I would love some perspective.

Shankar today announced more VPs coz that is the answer?

And they travel business class? AV VP Sales is a KN prodigy

Trash can people!

Finance town hall cancelled. Hard to be optimistic. Should we expect anymore RIFS in finance? Especially with new VP finance transformation.

Decade and a half at xrx and someone in a private conversation confirmed (at least in their role within the service delivery organization) names are already on lists and submitted to VPs within said organizations.

CFO also mentioned "difficult decisions" being made... my guess is another 15%.

VP sends email to team stating working at Dell is a privilege. Work like your a$$ is on fire. He just laid off a team

@OP+1k3kkzfyg

Hard to keep the workers employed when VPs who get paid 400k / year plus bonuses need to be prioritized…..over the workers who prepare their presentation materials. When directors marry surgeons, might have easier time keeping salaries up and prioritizing funding.

Oh goodie... We have a new Vice President.

F5 has hired yet another Vice President - this one is Vice President of Talent Acquisition....

It would seem to me that their first task would be is to rehire all those RIFd in the last several years. Yeah - I know that won't happen.

An acquaintance reached out about a job posting she saw at Medtronic. She asked me what I thought about this company. I made sure to tell her how my group just had several people laid off for no cause in May to help fund our VP's promotion to sr VP. This sr VP also chose to show us all photos from her daughter's multi-week European vacation right after she fired our colleagues and then dumped their work on the rest of us who are left behind. I don't think that acquaintance will be applying to work here after I told her what this company is really like as an employee. Guess actions have consequences. Keep destroying your reputation Medtronic.

What's going on with MPS?
I assume some of the teams they moved to them is for the their new VP to do the RIF work that EOE wasn't capable of.

Where is the innovation?

There’s a lot of anger and frustration with the Matt and Mark across EMEA over how AM, our VP of Sales, has been treated. After hitting all his Q1 & Q2 targets this year and showing years of loyalty, he’s been sidelined by the CRO—sending the wrong message that success at Appian isn’t valued. It’s disheartening to see someone who was appointed by Matt himself now left out in the cold, especially after delivering such strong results. The CRO’s bullying behavior on forecast calls hasn’t helped morale, and it’s a real shame that Matt hasn’t stepped in to support someone who he appointed and delivered results and who’s done so much for this company. Employees now know that loyalty counts for nothing here, and I suspect Matt will come to regret not standing by Americo. On top of that, the CRO has now appointed what looks like two leaders for Northern EMEA—an VP and an AVP—completely undermining the promise of a flatter structure that Matt himself championed. And let’s not forget Matt’s assurances that we’d promote and hire from within the organization—that’s clearly gone out the window. It’s such a shame, and I’m truly disappointed in Matt’s lack of resolve and courage to stand by his word.

Not just our engineering team bro. It’s an Over staffed US finance and accounting department with many directors and VPs draining companies resources. Many inexperienced people with so called fake ‘director’ experience and title have no credibility but have managed to bluff their way through the interview process. There is no pyramid structure. Is anyone highlighting this to CFO and HR? Why not give opportunities to our internal finance talent from the India team that has shown loyalty to the company for many years? Why this obsessing over external talent even when they don’t bring any relevant experience? Why not keep the costly US overhead cost structure low?

I was impacted by the lay off. Human Resources and Ariel the IT VP was cruel in the delivery of the layoff. On Wednesday those that were impact received an meeting invite without a name in the subject in the title (no agenda) and all those impacted names were on the distribution list. Our names were not obscured. The invite was sent at 1pm and the meeting was at 2. The invite asked that we be on time and don’t be late.

Once we arrived the VP gave a 30 second spill about reorganizing and that we are the first pilot group and there will be more to come. And that was it. He asked that we wait for our name to be called by a HR rep to go over our compensation package. The package was weak . And you must sign away your rights not to sue before you can receive your money. This company is in financial despair. On Friday they layed off employees in their Accounting Department.

More significant layoffs of US-based Operations teams are coming in August 2017. 2nd quarter numbers missed the mark so heads must now roll. The move to low-skill / low-pay resources in Costa Rica and India continues so management can make the company more attractive, artificially attractive, for a sale. Despite what management says, all changes are 100% financially driven. The CFO continues to drive the company into the ground to meet the CEO's financial numbers.

Customers have realized what is going on and continue to leave in droves. Upper UK and US management (VPs) who are close to the overall plan are now leaving en masse as well.

If you are a SgAS employee in the UK or US and are thinking of leaving or have an opportunity to get out, now would be the time to make a move. If you are thinking of joining the company in the UK or US, don't
