the fact that these layers can be reshuffled so easily and so frequently mean that these 2 steps in the ladder should be removed.

Thanks to the new wireless ads, someone told me "AT&T, the OK Network company?" Oops, good thing we are not banking on becoming an ad company.

Edit:
Summers is not gone and CDO is not outsourced. They won’t let go of the data... CDO was combined with Tech Dev and CTO as in the OP. Now the “CTIO”. Donovan out, Porter out, McElfresh out. CDO moves under Summers.Looks like Mair< Fuetsch

"Anyone notice how many names have "Chief" in the title?"

Sure but how about VP? AVP, VP, SVP, EVP, super duper EVP, etc. Ri-gosh darn-diculous.

Honestly its time to go. CDO is now just tech dev and all that comes with it. It will be less than a year before CDO is outsourced to INFOSYS.

Anyone notice how many names have "Chief" in the title? There are Chief's reporting to other Chiefs. That's a normal part of corporate governance anywhere else that I've seen. Is this just a mechanism to add a few bucks to position? Recall the old phrase, too many chiefs and not enough Indians? It's looking like that originated at this company.

Lots of consumer and business announcements today under the communication organization. Both organization moves and title changes for upper management. Many "retirements" as well.

What does that mean, is it just a shuffling of the deck chairs or are we throwing some of them overboard?
