Another reorganization is always lurking around the corner here. They shuffle reporting lines, rename teams, and announce a fresh direction as if nobody has tried it before. Then leadership congratulates itself while everyone else struggles to understand how the changes affect their work. I'd love to see them stick with one plan long enough to find out whether it actually works.

My team has gone through two reorgs in the last 2 years. This one is solid. I'm actually happy af with it and highly doubt it will change
Has nothing to do with layoffs. I've been through more re-organizations and new VPs than I can recall.
Most of the time very little or nothing changes, other than than a reason for sweeping utter failures of leadership under the rug. It's a never ending game of musical chairs where there are no losers, except the audience.
REPEAT GREAT EXPLANATION
And why do you think that is?
We have reorgs two or three times a year because it gives failed Executives, SVPs, VPs, and Directors a chance to wash the slate from their failed projects and poor product execution so they can start all over again with a clean slate. It's a rinse and repeat cycle at Dell.
The reorg is NOT intended to improve productivity, it IS intended to wash away past accountability. That's why Dell does so many of them that seem to make no sense. Simple as that.
Go watch some of the recent whistleblowers talking about AI company plans. Then, you'll know the end game of all companies is to have as close to zero employees as possible.
There is a Grand Plan. Leadership knows the plan. The rest, do not.
Do you think they skim deals when shuffling books?
Reorgs occur when you've no idea what you're doing. Keep reorgs going until something works. It's not that they know what to do other than to know that they can't do nothing.
