#change

Anyone heard that there are senior leadership changes in APJMEA? My manager was on a call earlier and changes have been announced.

Seems an odd time to make such senior changes to the leadership who have been in place for many years.

We’re holding steady at every other week for connect weeks! Also, who else is incredibly thankful that Fido never required the ‘shot’ to keep employment?!? A true blessing!

Is anyone else having to change up their weekly shifts, to rotating, so that someone is working everyday? Instead of Monday thru friday?

Is anyone else's weekly shift changing to a rotating by the week? Is this company wide?

While Verizon has a long history of failed execution from go90, aol, yahoo, hum, finance transformation, VGS, blue jeans, plus play, and even something as simple as RTO - Verizon does succeed at empty catch phrases. Better matters! Change energizes us! Go beyond! I’m anxious to learn what catch phrase our overlords will rally us around next.

Many of the changes that are made are planned 12 years in advance. They are broken into smaller runs that lead up to the final piece. Instead of making everyone fear their jobs wondering who will get the ax next and creating an unsettling environment, why don't they just make those plans public? It would give people an idea of whether they should apply for a job and how long they should be in their job. Morale would improve I would think because people wouldn't be whispering wondering who will go next. I have worked in both environments here where people knew well in advance their job was ending and when and where people thought it might end looking at signs but they were unsure. The environment where people knew well in advance was not very stressful. A few people left early but most stayed until the end then moved to other departments or retired or went to another company. There was no bitterness, nothing negative really. It was very stressful where the people didn't know. I accidentally found out one person's job was going and they turned down early retirement. I wanted so much to tell them they should take it but I couldn't. It would also be nice to see what the company is planning across the globe in the future. The information is out there. Why not be transparent and share it?

To all,

Enjoy the holidays, love the time with family and friends, feel th peace of today. The New Year will be - changes, what you want it to be , exciting new opportunities or cr-ppy same ole. Don’t put your energy on tomorrow, instead embrace today and your peace.

4 days in April will become 5 days in July/August.

Looks like next year will kick off with the merging of BFS into AFO. This is aligning with the one title tech as mapped out earlier. As a previous DT I hate to hear this because AFO does not treat people well. If I was a DT still I would move to construction asap. Otherwise be prepared for a lot of residential work and a whole new set of guidelines you will NOT like.

Have you noticed that the constant volunteer harassment has ended. Maybe Verizon is turning a corner.

What is the new sick time policy going into effect in 2026?

Heard a rumor that more big org changes are coming. Any details? My money is on BH as next COO.

staying at Dell in 2026 makes no sense at this point, time of change is here....

Thoughts on our new leader in Medicare, Martin, coming from Amazon? Thoughts on our good old Aaron leaving us after 29 years’ of service?

Oh looks like he actually just went to be the CSO at Walgreens. Guess he realized high complexity supply chains weren't his calling and he'd rather be back in the consumer commodity world.

Just watched Cory Doctorow with Jon Stewart on the ensh**ification of tech and it reminded me so much of 2U and its "pivots" over the years. Doctorow explained that pivot is actually doublespeak for panic. Now how do we pivot?

Recently some title changed to CCB Gateway any impact with these title change?

Starting to feel like we're in a quiet period before big changes, which always include layoffs.

Rumor has it that they are moving away from Tableau and Alteryx . Going to Databricks, PowerBI and Superset. Any truth to this?

Just curious. Hears we are moving to new Region

Just curious why do they have leadership/people in Zug?

Silence is all we hear. Org changes all over. What’s happening?

Heard big news are going to be delivered most likely at the townhall next week. Anyone knows what’s coming down the pipe? More layoffs? Leadership changes? Sell of parts of business?

Lot of people were notified of their new titles this week . What are new titles ?

With the 401k funding change, could severance packages also change?

Layoffs are now happening in the UK as the latest disaster to be of build and run teams is forced upon the UK business.
The patients are running this asylum.
SLT driving poorly thought out changes to hide the car crash that is onedev and pass blame down the food chain.

Checking to see how much change is happening

Why was Bob Kirby reporting the numbers on the whole business? Is he taking over? Is DV merging with ITS?

If you're smart enough to read between the lines, you should see BIG changes coming up on the horizon

I don't understand. Will we see changes to commission-based employees next fiscal?

So who all is being moved to infinite?

Looks like Pepsi has decided to go back to the region structure lol…

Those of you saying that without a leadership change this won’t be a big deal. Steve Llewellyn‘s retirement was announced Friday. John Dean is coming to Frito US from Beverages.

That’s probably the first domino. Since it’s PEPNA, that’s the US and Canada. Prob some realignment and HQ roles being shifted to GBS

I am not a T-Mobile employee!

You heard it here first. This time next year there will be news of T-Mobile headquarters being moved from Bellevue WA to Overland Park KS. Final move will be 2030, following expiration of contract with Bellevue. T-Mobile has been in talks with KS reps and are close to a deal surrounding lower taxes. T-Mobile execs already working to move jobs.

Prepare!

Because of constantly changing priorities at Disco.

Wow! Now with CW now gone, Aapla will finally sunset to combine into three geos to simple fy the structure for EH!

SUBSEQUENTLY the roles will be elevated to president level.

MY BIG concern is what role will then Cs take on or are her days numbered? Allbirds needs some more failures!

Something to sound like an AI start up? OpenText as a brand sounds old and not sure how many companies associate us with successful AI.
