How in the world could the BOD and leadership disrupt the entire transformation plan by letting DF leave and still think the plan can succeed? Asinine.

If you have any Chevron shares vote for an independent board and against the Executive compensation.

Scott Sheffield of Pioneer wants to get a job as an ExxonMobil board member

Paula Price and General Reimer are off the Board of Directors and Christopher Quick (from Capital Management Board) is now on the Board. Not sure of the significance. I have not seen a press release to explain.

I never met Ms, Price, but the General was very smart. They were both in charge though when the damage was done.

I left 3 years ago, and man, I loved it at MDT. I had a great boss, great work, and just the best work friends ever. I was happy with my salary and benefits, too. I learned a lot and became a great professional largely because of my time there. They called me to go back last week.

And so it's devastating to say I told my ex-VP I wouldn't... because Geoff Martha is still CEO and for as long as that is true, it just isn't a stable place to work. I was privy to a lot of the details of RIF work and so much of it really was because of sh---y financial results, despite them calling it "OPTIMIZATION". Eventually they were even sacking really brilliant people that consistently delivered.

Really sad and they could turn it around if the board wasn't a bunch of rent-seekers and would do the right thing and get rid of GM.

The board should have a vote of no confidence in MF

P66 has announced that 2 new directors have been appointed to the Board of Directors.
I don’t know anything about them but Elliott says they’re pleased with the appointments.
If they’re pleased I’m pleased.

Voting Instructions

For the annual meeting of Texas Instruments, please record the following votes:

Proposal 1 – Election of Directors: AGAINST
I am voting against the election of the board of directors, including CEO Haviv Ilan. In my view, current leadership decisions are negatively impacting the company’s culture and employee morale. Strong leadership and culture are critical for sustaining innovation and long-term performance at Texas Instruments.

Proposal 2 – Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation: AGAINST
I am voting against the executive compensation package because compensation decisions appear misaligned with employee outcomes, particularly the reduction of profit-sharing for employees beginning in 2027.

Why has the board of directors not told super bowl legend Rob Gronkowski to save the company?

Maybe even try telling Rob to tell the group of 25 army officers that founded to stop rolling in their graves??

What a joke.

to sc--w stockholders. 13 % price drop in 5 days. You defenders will say market economics are to blame, nonsense! If they had built the franchise and gotten the stock to a level it should be this would be a blip, it is not. Remember PNC as a regional competitor close to us has grown and more than doubled their share price last 5 years. I wonder if there’s any angst in the C suite or by this Board? Probably not.

When will we find out if the Board approved the Purple Stock award for 2025?!?

Hopefully Tom will be out and we can begin to see stock price increase. His entire EVP suite has left he has eliminated everyone except his buddy who is now the chief revenue officer. When will he self reflect and realize that the problem is still here .. we’re hopefully moving in the direction of him leaving and new leadership taking over hopefully stronger better leadership because leadership is where bd fails miserably. It’s either pre Madonnas , or passive tone deaf useless VP’s who are so out of the touch with the plants and the business. It’s time to

A quick reminder: the board needs to fund Jeff’s $130M options package.

The board has toppled Hans the ringmaster. Without his costume and whip in hand the Tiger gets run of the show. What a welcome turn of events.

Appears that their plan to move people to Edmonton is about to backfill on a listed company that makes billions of dollars every year which is about to fail. So many people have said no to the move that I’ve heard that we have about 200 job openings that they need to fill with key critical roles empty. Plus they don’t even have the licence to start the Edmonton office build yet so YE27 has not chance. So the lack of results , lack for strategic foresight and impact that the long term bottom line; does this make JW and the board NSI?

It’d be a pipe dream to think the Board of Directors would boot SK with another dismal year on tap for 2026 and replace him with a non-Japanese executive, but…

If you could nominate someone outside of CUSA to replace SK, who would you choose?

This company needs fresh perspectives and true leaders who can thrive in challenging markets.

They are the worst business has had to offer. That last CEO who shall not even be named..HAS NO SHAME.

Hearing the BOD has booked out all conference rooms in the S&T floor at NYHQ for the entirety of this week- cuts coming rather soon?

Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota and Cambia Health Solutions will affiliate. North Dakota regulators approved the strategic affiliation. The affiliation takes effect February 1. Dan Conrad becomes Cambia's chief administrative officer, and Lacey Bergh is the new BCBSND market president. Policyholders will keep their current health care coverage and BCBSND insurance cards. BCBSND will also retain its local plan name and board of directors. Cambia will manage and operate the North Dakota company's policy, claims, and IT functions.

Does anyone know what the collective pay packages including base pay, incentive comp, deferred comp, and perks collectively on the ELC ? How about the main Board of Directors ? How much do they make ?

Smart minds would bet they had to keep market cap (stock price) at certain point due to covenants in divestiture. Otherwise deal would have been off table. Board needs to start acting like a board

Any news on how the meetings are going?

Our Board are directly culpable for the situation we now find ourselves in. It is how corporate governance works.

My question: when will the market, activists etc hold them accountable and force change. It needs to happen.

What do you all think of Mikes email this morning that he won't won't serve as chairman after his term is up? I got to believe that the rest of the board and Ammit wanted it that way. Maybe paving the way for a sale?

Hans updated his linkedin resume. I remember they told us Hans was going to still be a Special Advisor on the BOD when he was removed from his job. We all scratched our heads when they replaced Lowell with a CEO who had been removed from his previous job. Why on earth would they still keep him around as a special advisor? Do they ask him his thoughts and then do the opposite of what he says? It's criminal that people are losing their jobs and this meatball is still around.

William H. Rogers Jr.: Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Jennifer S. Banner: Executive Director, University of Tennessee Haslam College of Business.
K. David Boyer Jr.: CEO, GlobalWatch Technologies Inc..
Dallas S. Clement: President & CFO, Cox Enterprises.
Linnie M. Haynesworth: Retired Sector VP, Northrop Grumman Corporation.
Donna S. Morea: CEO, Adesso Group, LLC.
Charles A. Patton: Manager, Patton Holdings, LLC.
Jonathan Pruzan: Co-President, Pretium Partners (joined May 2025).
Agnes Bundy Scanlan: President, The Cambridge Group LLC.

Does the board face any legal risk given that they haven't acted in the best interest of the company?

MF has been in position and seen through this entire DEBACLE! Frankly, I take offense with him sitting on stage presenting 101 corporate Finance - we all went to college and understand how it works. Do your job and EXPLAIN the changes we are making to navigate this storm and improve.

Under MF, our stock price has TANKED… not a great outcome for a CFO.

WAKE UP NIKE BoD !!

What a joke of a management committee, board of directors and the government for letting a US company bring IOL (100 year old company) to the s**.

What happened to corporate separateness? Now TG and DW have plans to exploit Canadian molecules, hose the minority interest investors (upwards of $500M of value based on rough estimates) and set up a wholly owned shell Trading shop in Canada in 2026.

Again, is the IOL board of directors asleep? Critical jobs are being migrated south to Houston at a higher cost and at the same time decimating fundamental knowledge that’s required for any stand alone O&G company which is a huge risk. How about the provincial and federal governments? Canadian taxable income is about to be stripped for the US to benefit. At this rate, all weak leadership contributing to this mess should be managed out of India in the “Global Hub”based on the lack of long term value they bring to the company and how far they are from the real Canadian business.

@ the government and BoD - wake up and block this immoral trade shop from starting up and exploiting Canadian molecules at the expense of the independent shareholders. Audit the s*** out of any proposals being presented including risk to long term value to the company. The move of Calgary head office to Strathcona Refinery and lack of diligence assessing the econs and long term risk to the company due to losing its top talent was already a disgrace.

He likes to hire cheap Indian labor. Good Luck Americans. You are going to need it!

No

The King can dominate the world.

Are you reading the posts on this forum? Do you care about the health of this company? As a shareholder, I do. You don’t need to hire a multimillion dollar consulting firm to diagnose the situation and put a plan in place. A rational person and a little GenAI can summarize the themes for you

Key Themes
• Organizational instability: Employees cite constant reorganizations—often every six months—which has created fatigue, confusion, and a sense that structural decisions are being driven by short-term pressures rather than a long-term plan.
• Talent decisions undermining trust: There are repeated concerns that recent layoffs and promotions didn’t align with performance, with high performers cut while lower performers remained due to internal politics or legacy relationships.
• Leadership and HR gaps: Employees point to inconsistent leadership quality, slow or overly procedural HR processes, and communication missteps around sensitive changes. Some comments note ineffective leaders remaining in place despite clear issues.
• Burnout and morale decline: Workloads are heavy, career mobility feels limited, and many employees describe being exhausted and discouraged. Morale appears fragile, and trust in leadership is weakened.
• Impact on innovation: Several threads reference a shift from leading the market to following it. Internal volatility is viewed as slowing decision-making and diluting the creative culture that historically fueled Nike’s brand strength.

Implications
Left unaddressed, these issues create material risks: higher attrition among top performers, slower innovation cycles, reduced productivity, and a culture that becomes increasingly difficult to repair.

Recommendations for Consideration
• Stabilize the organization by pausing major reorgs and aligning on a multi-year structural plan.
• Audit recent layoffs and promotion decisions to rebuild confidence in fairness and performance alignment.
• Strengthen leadership accountability through clearer expectations and more rigorous capability reviews.
• Address burnout by examining workload models, spans of control, and internal mobility pathways.
• Recommit to innovation by protecting creative/product teams from ongoing churn and simplifying decision processes.

Nike’s external brand remains incredibly strong, but the internal signals point to a need for stability, clearer leadership alignment, and a renewed focus on innovation. Addressing these areas will help rebuild trust and set the foundation for long-term growth.

From 2023 to today, the stock has went from $5 to 1.60. They ain't even insider buying the stock at these lows. What is the board doing?

What did the board do these oast years? Allow the worst decisions. How they fixed it? Unload 13+ of the employees 🤬 - oh, and come to sip a cuppa coffe in front of every employee

Today's all hands confirm one more time that the Unfiltered survey is only s checkbox to say to employees: provide your feedback, we receive it but we do not care about it.
They spent maybe 2 minutes on today's all hands on the topic...+40% of employees not trusting the board are not enough to worry the board. An email saying they are going thoroughly through the feedback and take actions is all what they do... truly a sad and shameless joke!

https://www.cvshealth.com/news/company-news/cvs-health-names-david-joyner-chair-of-the-board-of-directors.html#:~:text=WOONSOCKET%2C%20RI%20(November%2020%2C,%2C%20effective%20January%201%2C%202026.

So now David Joyner will be president, CEO, and chairman of the board. One guy in charge of everything, making all the decisions. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but CVS is now going “all-in” on Mr. Joyner.

Steve-o appointed a Deep state Trump admin guy with solid GOP credentials just this week. Do we think this olive branch is enough of a quid-pro-quo to quiet the admin from removing the individual mandate and divert Health Insurance Corporate Welfare directly into patient HSAs? Will this stop the hemorrhaging?

Vestberg was CEO at VZ for 7 years. Coincidentally the same amount of years he was CEO at Ericsson. Two companies left in a wake of mismanagement. The difference? The VZ BoD had a resume to review. Despite his failures in Europe the VZ BoD made him their CEO. History repeating itself was, sorry to say, an almost foregone conclusion. Now the BoD handed gas and torch to Schulman. He’ll cut off the legs to save the body. Then the BoD will “find” the next version of Vestberg. They can’t help themselves from making poor choices. Vestberg will likely have $20M follow him out the door whilst 15k are shown the door. Whomever takes over “Verizon - The Rehab Edition” has choices. Continue on with segmentation and compartmentalization driving the Company further into the ground, or, perhaps, bring things back under the roof. No more HRBP from outside sources running the Company. No more useless Pulse Surveys. But alas, the names will change and the downward spiral is likely to continue. If there was a time for the Shareholders to remove an entire Board. It’s now or in the very near future. Pipe dream of course. Good luck to all who are leaving. Find a Company run by intelligent people who actually know the business they run.
