My area was just reorged again for the 8th time. There were two D1s, myself and another reporting to avp. That other was moved up the org chart and I was moved down. In the shift, I heard “he moved to support the 7x7 framework”. If he was moved up to support 7x7 framework and now I’m another layer (7x8) would it logically make sense that I may be on the chopping block? Anyone else seeing something similar occurring in their area?
I’m also seeing other warning signs something is coming.

@j0 I just popped on and read this -
So, we’re NOT talking about someone managing an FTE budget.
Did you get that?
But imagine you’re in marketing and you manage a 3 million dollar media budget?
I read the comment by the person you are trashing - I am guessing that person has a large team of people - so I guess you think you schooled someone with a vast responsibility of staff, customers, consultants, etc and your point is about a singular person with essentially a "bucket of money" for ONE task - Rude
Imagine completely missing the point.
Also imagine thinking that, in a company with over 100k employees, you know how every job works.
The original assertion was that “individual contributor directors shouldn’t exist” or something to that effect.

You run point on the vendors, make the tactical and strategic decisions. The company trusts you to be a good steward of that money.
Are you giving that to an E-13?
@f5 it is BS that Directors "manage budgets" - when I worked elsewhere I actually managed the budger, I controlled time, expenses, FTE's, supplies, etc. Every year I developed my own budget and submitted it for approval and managed it regularly - day to day, pay periiod to pay period and month to month.
At this hole - you are GIVEN a budget with absolutely NO input from you on how it was constructed - all you manage is the merit and AIP sheet which is a set amount you play with to stay green- you have zero input other than that. Zero.
And the way that FTE's here are constructed is the most insane manner I have ever seen ever other job I had I knew what my FTE total was - here you fill a position that is approved by the VP and you need to fill it with some BS replacement position number that belonged to the last person who held it - WTF
Not necessarily. It depends on the nature of the job. Individual director simply means that you are responsible for large programs or budgets that would be significant enough to warrant such a pay grade.
I’m an individual E 14 though I don’t have Director in my title as I’m in the analytical side of things but I work with directors who are individual contributors who manage seven figure budgets. So when you have that kind of responsibility, you get the title and you also get to go to the office three days a week.
“D1 is a director I. Avp is the equivalent of what Elevance calls staff VP”
So why call it avp?
Navy guy: “So I was talking to my colonel the other day…”
Other Navy guy: “What’s a colonel?”
First Navy guy: “It’s what they call a captain in the army.”
Other Navy guy: “alllrighty then”
individual director are meaningless as well and should be looked into.
I wonder what 7x7 framework really means - and a reorg x 8 times - wow
D1 is a director I. Avp is the equivalent of what Elevance calls staff VP
What’s an avp?
I received a benefits email today that for the first time provided access to a COBRA link with current medical premium costs. That is a first for me. Seems HR is trying to prepare those that are about to get hit.
What is D1?
