My gut feeling is they don't know what they are doing and are just trying another model that will also fail. There are so many groups to all running around "getting alignment" with each other that they fail to just get the work done. They could be driving right off a cliff and all they would worry about is if they are doing it consistently across teams with shared components.
@ac+1kr3jt5gv makes a great point.
Why the LRs and why the change in Go To Market and Alignment.
We are losing market share across all solutions
Portfolio Account Executives only know how to order lunch for a customer meeting.
Portfolio AVPs and ODs have only enabled their RMs and AEs in being incompetent by not holding them accountable

Every major architectural disaster has the same structure underneath: there's a technical, visible problem, someone — usually more than one person — can see it, but pushing back costs something, so the decision passes under the name of "alignment" and eventually the system breaks.
TLDR: Most architectural disasters aren't a knowledge problem. The engineers knew. Speaking up just wasn't worth it.
McDermott Will & Schulte recently conducted layoffs. The firm separated from a small number of associates. These layoffs occurred across multiple practice areas. The firm stated it is aligning with shifting client needs. Layoffs reportedly extended beyond the New York office.

Is it just me, or this looks like an "AR role was not performing as expected, so we removed his reporting lines" with an over-enterprised envelope of "This is to be more aligned with markets"?
Is something going to really change?
KPMG is reducing its U.S. audit partner count. Approximately 100 partners are exiting the firm. An early retirement initiative did not meet its goals. The firm aims to align partner ranks with its audit business. Departing partners will receive financial packages and support.

A simple policy clarification and ended up in a 6-week loop of "alignment calls" and "deep dives" with multiple teams. It felt like explaining basic math to people determined to make it calculus. After 45 days of overcomplicating the simplest request, they finally came back and said it’s "trivial and not applicable."
The level of incompetence and the obsession with making everything a project is exhausting. We’re not innovating; we’re just spinning tires and calling it progress.
The Algorand Foundation laid off 25% of its staff. This decision stems from the crypto market's decline and economic uncertainty. The organization stated it was an incredibly tough decision for them. It aims for a more sustainable alignment of resources with its priorities. The foundation remains focused on protocol development and ecosystem growth.

the CMO has just put his story in L’In about special alignment sessions in AUSTRALIA - given the travel restrictions, how come he is there and what a coincidence the F1 was there.
I’ve just completed my PDR review, and my manager mentioned that I need to increase my visibility with the SLT. This feedback seems to come up almost every year. It makes me wonder whether the issue is really about my visibility, or if there’s a lack of clarity or alignment in how SLT evaluates contributions.
A statement from the company was shared with WCNC Charlotte on Friday, Feb. 13, 2026. Lowe's said about 600 corporate and support employees would be impacted, making up less than 1% of its total workforce. Lowe's statement said, in part, "This step helps better align our resources to support our stores and the associates who serve customers every day."

I chose to leave while I was ranked well and earning a strong salary before COVID and before the company’s negative challenges became more visible to others. It wasn’t about compensation or performance; it was about alignment. I realized that the work and priorities there no longer matched what I wanted for my life.
Today, I can honestly say that no amount of money, not even $2 million+ a year would persuade me to return as an employee.
We each get one life and one youth. I decided I didn’t want to spend my prime years in an environment that didn’t align with my values and aspirations. Working at ExxonMobil was a valuable experience. I learned a great deal, both positive and negative about corporate culture, and that clarity ultimately helped me make my decision. There are higher ambition and better career opportunities and experiences out there for many.
In the manufacturing and scientific sectors—relevant to Waters Corp's operational base—salary increases for 2026 are forecasted to hover around 3% to 4%,

CEO Charlie Scharf also indicated that artificial intelligence is expected to impact future workforce adjustments.
Consolidate all production under the Asia region and aligning reporting into a single Manufacturing hierarchy could improve speed, clarity, and execution.
With the new Optum image on all Uhc emails and the active engagement of the Optum board, it’s clear that we’re aligning as one cohesive unit. It makes sense for us to follow the guidance of the Optum board moving forward? Just questions?
A lot of verified assessing and head hunting at the top for 2026 as we end 2025. A big big profit year is needed as Wilson bids farewell and takes his millions and millions of unearned capital with him and sets the stage for his heir apparent in 2026.
A lot of restructuring coming, a lot of combining and aligning of areas happening, a lot of movement of additional services to vendors and overseas, implementation of the incomplete and flawed AI too early, and reductions in force are a certainty as we head into the first half of 2026.
Get your fe--s consolidated and be ready for what is coming.
Imagine those going end up losing 12 EDOs and floaters to align with EM's global regions who don't have the same. Likewise for the DB plan.
Engineering, ops and development reorg rolling out this week to "align" every market to the common Operating Model. As far as I can tell it's the same as the area model, just shuffled around.
I wonder if there will be more clarity soon? Seems like there still needs to be some things figured out with how teams are aligned now.
So according to our CMO, we don’t need to worry about the presence report any more - she seemed surprised at how much people couldn’t stand it. And market based culture is just about focusing on the customer, not Amazon-style rank and yank sweatshop BS - he barely ever used the word customer in his screed. There does not seem to be a lot of alignment here.
