Edward Jones missed their opportunity to name a managing partner that could have led us into the future without all of the Enterprise Reimagined turmoil. Edward Jones' Canadian president, DG, was the correct choice to lead the firm, not Penny. DG actually has a spine and would have stood up for the values that built this firm instead of surrounding himself with people who would tell him only what he wanted to hear. Hopefully, when Penny ages out of the managing partner role (it is going to be a long three years) Edward Jones will come to their senses and choose the right David to bring this mistake to an end and choose DG not DC. However, I feel the writing is already on the wall for the next managing partner.

A year ago, Dell Technologies made a big, bold move: it slashed nearly half of its executive leadership, claiming there were simply too many cooks in the kitchen. Cost savings were touted, “streamlining” was the buzzword, and the company pitched the decision as a smarter, leaner way forward. To top it off, product marketing (FPM) was folded under marketing. The logic? Keep all things “marketing” under one roof. Simple, clean, efficient.

Fast forward just twelve months… and things look a little less logical.

Dell has now re-hired a former exec—someone who had been let go years back—this time with a hefty paycheck. Not only that, the very same FPM org that was tucked neatly under marketing has been yanked out again and repositioned under this new hire. The shiny new label? RevOps.

When a salesperson is in charge of a Pharma, science and research become secondary! It's going to be a bloodbath at GSK in the next few months! I wonder why she left—she saw it coming, that the UK is in deep trouble?

Sudden change at CSX, the hedgefund guys pushed this move. Trouble ahead for CSX employees.
Just saying!

TU has filled almost every senior role recently with an external hire. The clear message being sent that the people who were around for the IPO and drove the share price into the 80's are incompetent. Yet the share price has languished in the 80's since Chris took the helm 5 years ago. So I'm wondering why "fresh blood" applies to everybody but him? I sincerely hope this upcoming GLM is his last.

There has been some rumors that Aneesha Shanoy might be leaving the company and that a new Revenue Operations restructure could be happening in Q4.

Has anyone else heard about this or have more insight? Would love to get a clearer picture if anyone’s in the loop.

What do you guys think? It seems like he needs a new start and what better to match his energy than Ford Motor Co.???

At 100k per things are going to change. New corporate phrase going around. “Pick an executive and replace them with an H1B.”

You don't believe HSBC has anything real using quantum computing to do bonds trading do you?...

Must be HSBC from Hong Kong bought IBM shares as they're a financial institution to cash on the hype don't you think?

Hopefully this is the last hype Alvind pulls to cash his shares as he finally steps down, claiming success of course!

Never trust analysts nor IBM Research BS!

I swear if one more ex-CVS Health exec starts working here, we should start doing flu shots in the course materials area.

Tell us you're filling the company with c-suite buddies instead of investing in the stores without telling us.

So I had called it earlier in the year, first Junior was going to leave, then Hand, by the end of the year. I said it. The year hasnt ended yet, we shall see whos next, maybe Soler. If the company is in such great "comeback story" why are folks jumping ship? This inverted pyramid is baloney. Store teams are pi---d, running skeleton crews, and executives dont want to see the reality, or they see it, but dont care. Its a sinking ship.

I almost want to start a betting pool. My first guess is CIO DH.

• The last time P&G did a major restructuring, most of the jobs reductions were buyouts. Likely targets: Generation X, those born between 1965 and 1980.
• So far, P&G has indicated it wants to make trims. Its last round of cuts started small but then got deeper after earlier rounds failed to achieve a turnaround.
• Further change will likely occur at the top with a new incoming CEO and other management shifts.
• The company said some brands might go, but it's not clear how many or which ones.

I have never sat on an all hands call for any organization except for Oracle who today shared on their all-hands call that Oracle is doing great, we are promoting two people to CEO status, had a stellar and historiacl Q1 earnings call, and not mention that thousands of people were only fired less then 20 days ago and no mention of that. That is just not a critique on Oracle alone, but a critique of corporate America.

Thoughts?

CDO, then CDO/CIO, then CDOA/CIO is laid himself off by taking another job. The sad thing is he has taken credit for the work of those who earned their jobs without a friendship with Christa Quarles.

• he did not lead an overhaul of the company's platforms, IT infrastructure, and business applications to improve security and facilitate more efficient operations.
• he was given a fully secure an operational infrastructure. Under his management he lost two very savvy infrastructure leaders along with other managers and ICs who didn't trust his experience or the people he hired from OpenTable.
• we are hosted in AWS and Azure mostly and all the operations were already efficient and secure
• nothing changed regarding how the company used data as the team responsible is very savvy.
• there was nothing to modernize considering AWS, Azure and GCP along with the rest of the SaaS apps the prior CIO and security leader implemented.
• the Senior Director, Global Services left as he didn't trust him nor Christa.
• the CTO had to obtain an updated SOC2 Type 2 after Grant and the CISO let the certification lapse for two years.

With Rick leaving, any insight into how his replacement might make changes? The Financial Crimes group is such a disaster. I bet some of the execs will be out the door shortly.

How can a company as large as Kroger given Rodney's age and tenure not had a succession plan in place? Please go external and clean house in the executive ranks. Nobody internally is capable.

Rumor has it c-suite and EC cuts are next now that the farce of a Board meeting is done. About time they start treating the senior leaders with the same ruthlessness they treat everyone else. AMN continues to use RTO to do layoffs without paying severance and hide poor financial performance. That may seem like good business to the bean counters but what it reflects is a bankrupt ethical culture.

Senior leaders bully SMEs into submission on quality issues, ignore compliance and cut corners that will ultimately harm patients (pay attention clients!). SpeakUp is a joke and the Board doesn’t have a clue that the worst offenders were the ones sitting in that meeting with them including those in charge of the so called quality and ethics programs.

Mark my words this company will not exist in 3 years. It is being run straight into the ground by unethical people.

Were the previous executives cooking the books or is Sammy just looking for a scapegoat?

Layoffs across the USA as kyndryl’s new US president Rutledge is demanding grow or else mindset; senior mgt is being shuffled, senior leaders and experienced ppl ousted, they are back to the IBM ways of cut to get growth, which is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater!! Goal is 1400 US ppl laid off - these are ppl making average 150k base pay…. This is how they make growth targets!

Bumping this from @44z+1k33fss5e for info.

Why does HPE keep shuffling the same leaders around? Is there no one else in their mind that can do a lot of these jobs? Doesn’t look like people that want to move up will get the chance. Plus all of it feels mundane and routine nothing exciting about any of it.

Sycamore Partners has replaced Walgreens CEO Tim Wentworth with Mike Motz, who was previously the CEO of office retail store Staples, another Sycamore company.

“Under that CEO’s watch, Staples shuttered a third of its stores,” he said. “It cut tens of thousands of jobs. We’re wary that if Sycamore applies that same playbook to Walgreens, if that CEO that’s coming over from Staples applies that same playbook to Walgreens, we’re going to have … thousands of stores closed, tens of thousands of layoffs, pharmacy deserts in neighborhoods that are already struggling with access to medication.”

Is this a good thing?

Girls night! Did ya get the email? Divvy's out! Pretty sudden, too. This on top of all the shuffling of other top brass. Lisa had the right idea. Vivian may have gone willingly, but was likely a witty casualty.

Can't say I blame them, I wish all the best. I'll be thrilled to be the next rat fleeing this sinking ship.

WHO's NEXT?!?

rumor has it she will no longer be in that role. dont know if quit or got fired. any news?

Thoughts? Needed to go external again. Not enough capable assets internally? Whats the direction of ET?

We knew it was likely coming but DP officially named new CIO. Thoughts? I think it was somewhere here where someone said DP was one of the ones pushing for HIH....

When I was there a few years ago and their Northstar goal was 50% women in c-suite by 2030. A few years later and almost all the women in c-suite are gone and now the female CFO resigns. What is going on?

To: All Employees
From: Leadership Communications
Subject: Reinvention Update

Dear Team,
As part of our ongoing Reinvention journey, we want to take a moment to recap the tremendous progress we’ve achieved, which on closer inspection looks suspiciously like chaos:

• Q2 Results: While our financial performance was pure garbage, we see this as a powerful opportunity to demonstrate resilience and accelerate the pace of transformation, because turning failure into a buzzword is cheaper than fixing the business.

• Leadership Evolution: John B has transitioned from his role as COO to continue serving on our Board, which sounds like a noble continuation but in practice means his head was required on a silver platter. He will chair the new Integration Committee, which is a committee no one asked for but looks reassuring in press releases.

• Leadership Innovation: Our Chief Disruption Officer, Deena P, has announced she is leaving to spend more time with her family, which is the universally accepted code for “thank you for the selfies, now please go". We are grateful for the inspiration and hashtags she brought to Reinvention, because nothing drives shareholder value like social media content.

Looking forward, we are excited to announce the next step: a global headcount optimization initiative. Executives have been tasked with submitting names by end of Q3, at which point 3,600–4,800 colleagues will be invited to explore career opportunities outside the company.

As a global enterprise, we are committed to fairness, but also math: it is dramatically cheaper and faster to fire people in the U.S. than in other countries where local laws demand notice periods, unions, and dignity. Accordingly, our American colleagues should expect to play a leading role in this Reinvention milestone, because your jobs are legally the easiest to erase.

We understand there is hope that reductions will focus on less-productive management layers. While that hope is touching, history has shown us that those compiling the lists — along with their friends, spouses, siblings, and Saturday tennis partners — somehow never appear on them.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to Reinvention. With fewer people, less stability, and more recycled jargon, we are confident that together we can continue to deliver bold PowerPoint slides that tell a story our numbers cannot.

Warm regards,

Your Leadership Team
