Can manager or director reduce/increase STI assuming that Dan said "100%% and level is "performing"

I am in the OI product org, director level and was just let go.

Going to be small but Community and Commercial banking are going to lose some Executive Directors and possibly one Managing Director.

The only way to cut down on bureaucracy and be cost responsible at the same time is to actually thin the leadership layers.

Stop approving vp-reports-to-vp nonsense, systematically thin the senior director level and give their authority back to people actually close to IC's.

Anything beyond this is lip service to excuse layoffs of people who actually do the work.

@@@ 3 layers of directors that don't do the work. They are next for consolidation with Frontier this year.

Is a B5 IC Principal role less safe from JE than a B5 Director role? Wondering if IC roles at that pay are first to go and if being a people leader gives you more stability.
Are B5 more safe from JE than other bands? Why is this place like this?

Not sure how true this is but my director said they heard rumors - just rumors - that a 10k WFR is planned for the next 3 months. At least half of which will be in February and March. I do know they are part of a leadership TEAMS chat because they told me so. I asked which orgs were being hit, or likely to be hit and was told that from what they have seen in the chat, ISG, CSG, Sales/ISR's are being targeted, along with higher level Maverick folks.

idk how true this is but this is just what I was told this morning.

In case people have not heard the directors of several LOBs have granted remote work during the time when everything in Minneapolis is going down.

Literally, 400-500 people report into her/her directs. Some of her direct D's have 40-50 people by themselves. What exactly is she delivering for Citi? DCRM? That's a joke - the data concerns are not resolved by her team. Her data concern team, led by her MD Donna G, are glorified p;roject managers setting up meetings for others to resolve the problems. Why do they need so many people? Reference data? That by itself is a joke at Citi considering that security master central itself has so many issues with data accuracy. At smaller firms, her team alone would make up 50% of the org. This is highway robbery.

Where will it stop? The question becomes do you jump from the sinking ship or wait for a package? After more than 10 years in facilities it’s just a matter of time. We are still overstaffed- really don’t need the middle management level. The director Bruce could just oversee the outsource group.

Does this mean the whole team is getting fired? or is this just for some team structure change, no invite on calendar. Very anxious

I was thinking about applying for a tech security position.

Until I saw the hiring manager.

I am familiar with her. There is no way that she knows anything about tech security... And, she's a director. Like, she's an 'expert' in the field.

First time I've ever been like, "Yeah, Fidelity has D . E . I . but they have enough people to fill roles with talented people."

What people are saying is true. No way is this company doing well when I see this.

A HS dropout with ChatGPT would be a better fit for director than this individual. Just wow.

Every year towards the end, we have to give our manager a list of names so they can request feedback, right?

Im saying director/manager because this person was not my manager until they did the whole mid level management flattening bs last February. My manager is a director, basically.

I would say my total "talk time" with this person over the course of 11 months was in the ballpark of 90 minutes TOTAL.

Well, I got a "feedback request" email this morning requesting feedback on MY DIRECTOR/manager from our VP - it is his boss so, that's typical.. Which I thought was odd because I honestly barely know my director/manager. Why would they give my name to give feedback lol? I'm a lowly i6 so like, I would have assumed they'd choose people who are a bit higher than me and/or those who they actually work WITH?

I feel a bit "flattered" and in some ways safer from layoffs considering this, as generally speaking people don't submit names for feedback unless you like them and think they will speak highly of you. I've also never had to give feedback for a manager before unless it's Tell Dell.

My director/manager has 24 direct reports and the only time I talk to them is during our monthly 1x1's which are always less than like 12 minutes at best lol. It's a running joke between a lot of us in how fast they do 1x1's lol. My director doesn't waste time. Tells me what/if anything he needs to tell me, then asks whats up with me. I say xyz and that's literally it.

I always try to get personable though because I'm very personable and it's just how I am. Maybe they like that, idk lol? Is this normal to be requested to give feedback to your manager for EOY feedback requests?

What even the Directors and Senior Directors do lol??????

Has the board of directors ever considered just firing themselves with the other droves of "assets" to fix the compliance problems?

This company has turned it's back on everything it once stood for.

Does anyone know where submissions of the ideas form actually go? Do they go to your supervisor, AD, Director, VP, SVP, EVP? Straight to dans email (not slack)? Just wondering if anyone’s in the know on this and knows if it will actually be taken seriously or if it’s just for show.

Just had a conversation with my Director and they stated that Enbridge in Ontario will be going back to full 5 days per week in the second quarter. Stated this is to be in line with the Province of Ontario mandated all government workers back to a full 5 days.

I do believe what I was told but guess will wait and see.

I'm surprised that more impacted retail employees aren't pushing back especially directors. Do you know why you were chosen? If not, have you asked?

I keep hearing December 18th as a date for consumer group. Directors have a PTO block after , probably to do damage control. Also expenses need approved by that date. Anyone hear anything more concrete?

What has anyone heard about supply chain field for layoffs? My site director said they are looking at getting rid of operations directors positions. There also seems to be too many operations managers positions.

Wild these positions we’re left untouched - some poor decisions have been made by this one impactful ones, but yet she still hold the job kind of wild that my director didn’t even have a call with us to say he was leaving Only to have no transparency of really what’s going on with this company but this one’s still kept their job

They’re not real contributors to the workforce. They bring nothing to the company, and the only reason they’re still around is the cheap internal politics backed by upper management like Kalyani, Senthil, and Vivek. It’s embarrassing that they’ve managed to survive. All due to Shankar & Co .

15 minute one on one with my director, a bit outside the 8am - 10am window but they’re in a different timezone than I am.

Anyone versed in artificial intelligence can fairly easily train AI to create power point slides, Excel spreadsheet s, create budgets, and even sit in on meeting calls take notes and parrot back to worker bees.

The real work is done by these so called "leader's" staff.

What say you; are you in agreement?

Directors? Senior Directors? ADs? SAMs? CEs?

VP's, director's and managers do not lead, they spread their toxic behavior and all they care about is employees that follow their lead and cut costs. While knowing HR and lawyers will cover it up. This ends up costing more in the end. Hold these people accountable for their actions, inactions, tactics and improve the moral of the entire team. Start investigating HR and move on through the VP's, directors and managers. Time for the trustees to make moves to remove these toxic leaders and show employees they are respected and cared for. Talent, experience and leaders are being lost. The system failed all employees.

Do they know if they’re staying or going and who on their teams are ?

Can we take bets on how many demos break down or how many lies the director of quality will tell?

So Sr Directors were notified today and ADs and below will be notified Thursday. Does that mean Directors are notified tomorrow or Wednesday? Or maybe Directors Tuesday and ADs Wednesday?

Many Sr. Directors were axed today in retail and across other orgs. Everyone else impacted will be notified on Thursday. For Band 6 (Directors & ADs) employees that are impacted, I'd encourage you to take the package they're offering because there will be more cuts and the severance might be worse.

I’m wondering if my director (one step above my associate director) help to put together the list of names. Our Senior director is still relatively new and wouldn’t know the or well enough to know which people should stay and go, so I’m wondering if our director had any input.

For two years straight I have not written mid-year or year-end comments for myself and it’s had no impact on me. I am a director reporting to a senior director. I write constructive comments for my directs, but I just don’t care and feel that no one ever reads my comments anyway. I just feel like it has no bearing on the 1.25% merit increase, so why bother?

Have SDs, directors or ADs know? Have they been officially told? Does it happen this week?

What band is an AD? Director? Sr Director?

Managers? Directors? Sr. Directors? VPs?

has anyone else gotten a “slap on the wrist” for reaching out to a director to talk about an issue? i was recently warned by my manager that reaching out to a director and skipping the order of management could lead to termination. isn’t this a bit much?!

Director and manager layoffs next. Flattening the curve on the fat middle
