#leadership

Anyone got some details? Actually liked him.

What’s with the absence of a comm for the 4th? You would think our leadership would push out a message to commemorate this milestone for the USA, being that we get one for every other holiday

We at Fiserv are so grateful that the the empty suit, cowatd Mike Lyons has moved on. He destroyed the retirement accounts of so many people, was the master of vapid nonsense- coordinate, collaborate, execute- blah blah blah. No work ethic, lazy and entitled- good luck Truist

Sounds like there has been rolling layoffs through some depts over the last week or two, and we all remember what happened in the week following the 4th in 2024.

I don't know what next week holds, but don't forget what we've all done for this company over the years. If layoffs come next week, remember that it's not a reflection on you. Layoffs are a failure of senior leadership and strategy, not the employee base doing the day-to-day work.

Enjoy your weekend, CUSA team! I hope the beer is cold, the grills are hot, the A/C is powerful, and the explosives safe and hilarious! I look forward to lambasting senior leadership next week if talented people lose their jobs to the Ai fantasy and vendor pool. (If it's any consolation, I used a hoard of Canon's Ai tokens on pointless nonsense today because I could and we were told to use Gemini, right? LOL)

Have a good weekend Canon team.

There’s no better way to celebrate independence than at Verizon, a great American country that has granted independence to thousands of employees! From our former CEO, former President of Consumer Group, former CHRO, former Chief Communications officer, former President of GN&T, 2 former Presidents of VGS, 5k VSP takers, and 13k and counting riffed Vteamers - there’s no shortage of independence from Verizon to celebrate. We are a winning team, and I’m honored to follow such great leadership that powers and empowers the way we work, live and play as we play to win. Simple matters! Better matters! And we are truly the best. The results speak for themselves. Verizon is the very best of America. Proud to be VZ!

What is the point of keeping SVP+ ICs in high cost locations while full teams are being laid off ?

What is their exact contribution?

since Leadership has seemed to have completely f*ck this up, what are some benefits you think would incentivize you to stay?

for me, it's the PTO policy. 18 days use it or lose it is ridiculous. and not getting another week until 8 YEARS of service?

how about 23 days to start, with flexibility to carry some time over. change the years of service requirement to earn an extra week.

and... as for the Directors and above not having a PTO bank? reel that in, 'cause my Director takes off a minimum of 8 WEEKS EVERY YEAR. clear abuse of the policy.

The plan made by the leadership is insane. In the name of outsourcing to India, VZ is cutting jobs and restructuring work among the existing employees. In India, we have only a very, very limited number of team members, and even among them, many employees have been let go.

Has anyone who was not a leader (band 5 or higher), actually been let go? I only know of leaders getting cut today - seems like the 16th will be for everyone else.

Long story short: Narcissism

And so it begins! The long standing tradition of the Managing Partner sending an Independence Day message seems to have been left to DC this year.

What’s next?

How's that working out for our executives?

How many layers of executive management exist between the CFO and a person who actually does some work? I'm looking at an example now that shows 5 layers, all based in Houston, all execs and none actually doing anything other than talking about other folks work. It's embarrassing to see the greed given the pain they're causing the rest of the organisation. Too many snouts in the trough and it needs to stop.

AI is fundamentally changing how work gets done, according to HR leaders. HiBob CEO Ronni Zehavi states AI allows companies to scale output without proportional hiring. He emphasizes that successful organizations will prioritize workforce design and agility over headcount. This involves organizing around skills and capabilities, pushing decision-making closer to the work. The future workforce will be dynamic, focusing on human-machine partnership and developing human potential.

how can pals hold each other accountable? they cant. so the consultants who keep hiring their buddies to make a "strategy team" paid 3x what managers are paid can do whatever, rif whoever, and answer to no one with smirks and sarcasm. not new...like last cmo who brought in 4 MD leader pals from caremore. Its gross and cold. Remember yesterdays rifs pay for the next exec.

Hackett Pavilion 1 & 2. Are you kidding me? When nothing is named after Mulally, it shows you how insecure and id--tic leadership really is.

Managing committee forcing senior leaders to attend meetings to get in line and brainwash staff into supporting them so survey results go up.

It’s bad. Really bad. Leadership calls are happening soon

I just saw into CR on West Campus and low‑key freaked out. He used to be one of my favorite tech leaders before he moved into that executive role in sebcoe amd then left us for a big tech company. Do you think he might be coming back?

Any Leaders in the know. We only have one more day to accept or decline can you add any insight into why the email was sent today suggesting not to apply unless you were wanting to exit the company (in BOLD). I know many on here could use more clarification. by confused Onecenteamer

I really value this company, my role, and the population I serve. This job has provided me with incredible financial opportunities that I wouldn't have found elsewhere in my field. For those who are constantly negative about the company, I encourage you to seek out a job that better suits you. While the recent uncertainty has certainly been stressful, I am very glad leadership provided clarification on the VSP. I hope for the best for everyone moving forward.

Will JH need 1.21 gigawatts to fuel the flux capacitor for our trip back to the generalist future? Or perhaps it will run on the self congratulatory smugness of our latest carpet bagger C suite dolts?

These senior leaders do not realize or care that they are messing with people mental health. My anxiety is past my threshold. I can not focus and to top it off can’t enjoy my PTO from all this stress!

what a joke, she blames a fast-changing "AI-first world" and the need to "invest in high-return opportunities" for wiping out 700+ jobs, but she forgot to mention who those high returns are actually for.

Just two months ago, CDW’s board authorized a massive $1 BILLION stock buyback expansion and approved yet another heavy cash dividend... all to artificially prop up the stock price for Wall Street (which didn't even work. The company has plenty of capital; they are just choosing to sacrifice the employees who "got them here" to protect corporate profit margins so don't fall for their "aw shucks" Tiny Tim act.

To top it off, while she claims these decisions are "never taken lightly," there isn't a single SEC filing showing that she or any other C-suite executive took a penny of a pay cut (yes, this is all public information). Chris Leahy’s $15 million compensation package (an increase of 20% from the previous year, mind you) remains completely untouched while we get to take 100% of the hit.

These executives are evil.

It’s sad they keep Hans on for a year but won’t even sponsor an event helping domestic violence . His salary this year could sponsor easily the next 20 years of 5k

Many of you may not know Tom, he was the CEO before Chris. He was a brilliant guy who focused on winning and judged you on performance and performance alone. Tom was no BS, and had the unique ability to completely destroy you with just one disapproving look. He didn't have to say a word, just one look and you knew you sc--wed up. To Chris, you know the look I'm talking about and I hope right now, at this moment, all you can see when you close your eyes at night is Tom staring at you with complete disdain for what CDW has become.

I was performing, loyal and zero drama. I kept my head down, did my work and made great money for CDW. You? You are not performing, you are not keeping your head down, and you are bleeding cash for CDW. You are a disaster who ruins lives and an industry laughing-stock. You should fire yourself.

What legacies did TG and other recent retirees leave behind? Better or worst?

In the present leadership era, apparently it’s perfectly acceptable to drop a bo-b right before a holiday, and then make sure all VPs show out of office for the rest of the day so as not to be bothered by the peasants. Meanwhile, I’m sure they are using AI to figure out talking points on how everyone is valued, we’re still a family, blah blah blah…CDW culture, or what it once was, is DEAD.

Can onky imagine rhe Dan direct reports hiding in offices amd DEI Sr Directors using AI to answer " Now what?"

Really miss seeing Directors walking around Basking Ridge HQ parking lot claiming volunteer hours!!!

You work for the oligarchy. You will deliver.

(nothing personal)

The CEO with the worst presenting skills and personality ever is off. Apparently he leaves us in a position of strength…..

Every day, associates at BNY Mellon share raw, unfiltered feedback on TheLayoff.com—concerns about ongoing job cuts, shrinking mobility opportunities, and a workplace culture that feels increasingly uncertain. What’s striking isn’t just the volume of comments, but the silence that follows. People are asking whether Executive Leadership genuinely cares about what employees are experiencing or whether these voices are simply being ignored.

The Executive Committee has chosen not to acknowledge the discussions happening across these forums, and that silence speaks loudly. Associates want transparency. They want accountability. They want leadership to show that they understand the human impact behind restructuring decisions. Instead, the absence of communication creates more anxiety, more speculation, and more distrust.

So here’s the question for Executive Management and the broader community: If thousands of employees are expressing the same concerns, why is leadership staying quiet? Silence may be a strategy, but it’s not stewardship. It’s not engagement. And it’s not what a global workforce deserves.

It’s time for leadership to step forward, listen openly, and respond honestly. Employees aren’t asking for perfection—they’re asking for acknowledgment.

I am submitting my VSP today. Nobody is doing anything...leadership out constantly... its joe over. I might be on a generational run right now though... I was lucky and have a final interview for role outside of healthcare... I wont get into the specifics, but I do feel very confident based on all available information, and conversations with the hiring manager. No, its not iron clad, but its enough for me to take the leap and leave. Since I haven't had a bonus the entire time I have worked here.... the VSP would be nice. However, they really don't want anyone to actually be able to take it though. It takes a very particular situation to benefit from the VSP based on all of the restrictions. There is nothing HUMAN about executive's behavior. The lies. The condescending rhetoric. The "transformations." Its bogus and I am over it. I wish everyone the best of luck, truly.

Paychex President and CEO John Gibson discussed the current labor market. He shared his insights with 'Mad Money' host Jim Cramer. Gibson stated he currently sees no signs of widespread layoffs. He also indicated no signs of an impending recession. His comments reflect a positive outlook on the economic situation.

Out as President of the Cigna group.

GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!

The continued restructuring appears likely to result in significant layoffs. My concern is that experienced leaders with valuable institutional knowledge are being replaced, increasing the risk of poor decision-making and execution. I hope leadership carefully considers the long-term impact on employees, customers, and the business.

McKinsey is the devil and Jonathan Riguad is their Dutch plug. They are the epitome of if GPS told them to turn right into a lake they are surely drowning. Abysmal

Our Free Cash Flow is heavily bleeding at negative $23.7 Billion because management is dumping $55.7 Billion straight into AI data centers. To balance headcount will drop 13% from 162,000 down to 145,000 and slowly reduce near 130K+.
You have few direct reports with VP, Dir, Snr. Dir, Mgr titles (or) in legacy divisions you might be the high target. QA's, Release engineering teams, Release managers pack your stuffs.
If your org is in re-skill zone, the leadership team can expect a heavy restructuring here.
I doubt Oracle has better pay or hike plans in near future till it resolves its debt.
