Are they telling us everyone in APLA will be goners FY28? Seems like LATAM is going/staying in Mexico. AP in GC so there goes those jobs. Do they move people to global or NA or just let them all go? Thoughts?

@ad CS. St director and below in territories. Sr director and below already being hired now in GC. Director and below in Korea, just left is mid level to move.
@ab who in Singapore will benefit isn’t that office mostly sourcing and pcc? I imagine they will actually move some leadership roles there but MOST will actually move into territories, they are already designing out of Korea, I doubt they will duplicate that in Singapore but double down in Korea , GC and Japan on local creation and storytelling, India roles will sit in India. Singapore maybe merch for the rest of SEA but more developed or developing countries will be localized
@a2 is more product creation work shifting back to Geos like it was waaayyy back before circa 2009?
@ab what level do you think they will move to Singapore?
Yes, almost all APGC roles will move to Singapore. The APLA folks here will either be asked to move there or leave. CS has been based out of Singapore for months. So her leadership team will have to move there. It only makes sense to move the leadership to the Singapore.
Also many roles focused on APGC will have to move to Singapore as well. For example, the GM of Cricket should be in the Singapore (SEA &I) since Cricket is so big in India. Makes no sense for that person to sit in Beaverton.
Folks in Singapore will benefit the most with so many roles being open to them and many of them being promoted.
Global will likely reduce seeing as most of the line will come from Geo. So… not looking too possible for roles to shift there.
NA already built out their plan and hired to fill it, so they are at capacity and it’s now building out a similar plan for the other GEOs.
Might be worth considering a self-relo to the territories to stay employed.
