Any details on which orgs/regions might be hit?

Does anyone know what the 1/2 hr. fireside chat with Dan Schulman on the 24th is all about?

30 day PIP process, based on DAPR numbers not CCRS. Takes one month of lackluster results, and 90 days to get off. Even if you hit the quarterly number, a single monthly miss puts you on a written. Have fun trying to take vacation or any time off... — read more

Is Dan preparing and trimming the org to sell it to the highest bidder? Any takers ?

We basically work for the mafia.

Feels like a slap in the face. I am a fresh graduate with less than two years of experience and Dan feels so nice to set up a fund to "reskill" me. Guess it's my fault for not having the same corporate nepotism as those on the board.

Can anyone explain the future of EDAI/AI&D/Transformation moving forward?

So is it officially gone or what? I’d rather be told it’s discontinued than be told it’s still waiting for approval.
