Thread regarding Comcast layoffs

Another Comcast Restructuring, Same Leadership, Same Problems, Same Sh-t...

At what point do we stop calling this a restructuring and acknowledge that Comcast is systematically destroying teams (while expecting the same people to keep everything running)?

The pattern is there, right??? Announce another reorg then rely on employees to manage the transition / transfer knowledge / consolidate responsibilities / eliminate the very positions that made it possible - I can clearly see this... The execs keep talking about efficiency, transformation and positioning Comcast for the future. But there's very little accountability for the decisions that got us here in the 1st place. We all understand the business is changing - thats obvious too... What people are tired of is watching employees pay the price while the execs responsible for the strategy continue making the same decisions from the top.

And for anyone who thinks their dpt, location, or involvement in a spinoff makes them safe, I'd seriously reconsider that thinking. We are watching positions disappear, employees being asked to reapply for work they've already been doing, location reqs becoming another way to narrow the headcount... Meanwhile internal comms continue to talk about opportunity and stability - the actual decisions tell a 100 pct different story.

How many times are grunts supposed to hear that these changes will make the company stronger before someone explains what the longterm plan actually looks like for the people doing the work???????

So, employees need to make decisions based on what's happening, not what they're being told by the comms/execs. Execs're looking out for the business and its bottom line. We ought to do the same for ourselves - the trust is lost.

Company was bloated beyond belief over the last 10 years. Headcount’s kept going up while video business declined, and broadband lost momentum. Management on top of management. Competition from all sides. Cheerleading from the top, with no ability to recognize or react to market reality. Wokeness. Some help with the intro of mobile, but that’s it. Let’s face it folks, this is long overdue.

Same ladership? Not sure if you noticed, but SVPs are being shown the door as well. This isn’t the same-old same-old annual re-org; this is a 3rd party (McKinsey & Co) coming in and driving wholesale changes to the org charts, top to bottom. And we’ve just seen the tip of the iceberg so far. This is going to be a different company once the dust settles. Better or worse? Only time will tell.
