Who on the Operating Council, in your opinion, should our new CEO layoff first?

Monday.com shareholders overwhelmingly approved significant compensation increases for its co-CEOs, nearly doubling their annual pay packages. This decision comes despite the company's recent announcement of a substantial workforce reduction and a decline in its market capitalization. The company cited impressive past performance and a desire to align executive compensation with industry peers. However, investors are concerned about the company's future growth prospects in the evolving AI landscape. The approved plan significantly boosts equity awards for the CEOs.

How far they have fallen.
Current stats:

27% would recommend to a friend
33% approve of CEO
21% positive business outlook

Dear John. We would like some market based accountability on your dismal performance as Chief Ego Officer. All your inflated projections that don’t make a dent in your very poor performance. If we are treating talent based on performance you should have been gone a long time ago you mo--n.

Historical look how VZ management chaned, whatwere thesignals everyone missed.Using Verizon as a case study, there were several governance signals that, in hindsight, suggested the board was becoming more active before the October 6, 2025 CEO change. Here are the key items professional investors often watch:

1. Lead Independent Director gains prominence. Daniel Schulman was elected Lead Independent Director in December 2024, replacing Clarence Otis Jr. The lead independent director often becomes the board's principal counterweight to a combined Chairman/CEO. By itself this is not unusual, but it can indicate the board wants stronger oversight.
2. Board succession language. Read the proxy's Corporate Governance and Compensation sections for discussion of CEO succession planning. Boards rarely say a change is coming, but expanded discussion of succession planning can signal increased focus.
3. Executive compensation versus performance. Look for:declining customer growth,missed financial targets,reduced incentive payouts,
   changes in long-term performance metrics. When compensation committees alter incentive plans, they may be responding to business underperformance.
4. Sell-side conference messaging. In September 2025, Verizon executives continued presenting strategy to investors. If management's messaging remains optimistic while operating metrics continue deteriorating, boards sometimes conclude a different leadership approach is needed. This is more meaningful when combined with board actions rather than viewed alone.
5. Sudden leadership change. On October 4, 2025, Verizon's board immediately replaced Hans Vestberg with Daniel Schulman as CEO. Vestberg became Special Advisor, while Schulman moved directly from Lead Independent Director to CEO. The board later disclosed these changes in an 8-K.
   For Verizon specifically, one sequence that stands out in hindsight is:
   December 2024: Schulman becomes Lead Independent Director.
   2025: Continued competitive pressure and market-share concerns.
   October 2025: Schulman is elevated directly from Lead Independent Director to CEO, replacing Vestberg immediately.

AmD is very successful and working model for other companies to follow. Why do managers use their excellent skills to just copy and paste to follow their working model.

1. Get a new female PhD CEO
2. Go fabless and abandon all fabs to save costs
3. Stop layoffs and hire more talents to growth

Nutanix sales management missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with Broadcom acquiring VMware two-plus years ago. Nutanix executives and senior management absolutely failed at every turn to capitalize on their biggest competitor's challenges. Management's arrogance and lack of understanding of complex sales led to this layoff; nothing else. The AVP level and above needs to be gutted. The Board is complicit in allowing this incompetence to happen and continue for so long. The window to capture Broadcom low-hanging fruit is closed. In fact, Hoc Tan (Broadcom CEO) has turned the tables and is getting Nutanix kicked out of the few larger accounts they were in. Nutanix was already bleeding experienced, accomplished salespeople before the layoff; it will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
There should be an MBA business school case study done on this company for having so badly missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

HOUSTON, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Chevron will award employees a special bonus for operational ‌results so far this year, following the ‌U.S. oil producer's record earnings report on Friday that was boosted by high oil prices from the ongoing war in Iran.

In an internal email on Monday that was seen by Reuters, CEO Mike Wirth praised Chevron staffers ‌for meeting cost-reduction targets, ⁠achieving deal synergies from the Hess acquisition ahead of schedule and operating safely ⁠amid geopolitical upheaval this year in Venezuela and the Middle East

New CEO is going to be on board within the next 60 days, ole Nic's hand picked boot li---rs days are numbered. What's your guess the first boot li---r to get papers?

Jeff Clarke. Will this mean leadership changes reporting to CEO - usually does, look at Five9

We spend a lot of time being reminded what integrity looks like. It would be nice if leadership and government relationships inspired the same confidence.

The public record shows a CEO meeting the Illinois governor, state help on the merger, and the governor’s blind trust later holding Centene stock as the company collected billions in Medicaid dollars.

Interesting optics huh?

No communication no clear updates and Jennifer is no where to be seen apart from a low impact appearance on an all hands with a teleprompter.

Is this really good enough?

I'm seeing a lot of people (some know a lot, others don't have a fckng clue) analyzing the financial engineering the company has been carrying out in recent months. Well, none of that is a coincidence, considering who is at the helm.

Without a shred of admiration, but with all the recognition he deserves, it must be said that our CEO is an absolute wizard when it comes to high-stakes Wall Street finance, and it all goes back to his time running with Carl Icahn.

For five years, our CEO was Icahn’s right-hand legal guy, which is basically like getting a master's degree in corporate warfare from the most aggressive shark in the business.

When you work for Icahn, you are learning exactly how to rip apart corporate balance sheets, we-ponize debt, and corner massive boards into doing what you want.

So when Icahn won that brutal proxy fight against Xerox back in 2018 and ki-led their multibillion-dollar deal with Fujifilm, he planted LP inside Xerox as General Counsel to be his eyes and ears. Over the next five years, LP probably was the secret architect behind some of the wildest financial stunts you can imagine.

We are talking about helping orchestrate a crazy $33B hostile takeover attempt where Xerox, the smaller company, tried to swallow HP using a mountain of structured debt.

The real proof of how savvy this guy is came in 2023 when Icahn decided to cash out and sell his entire share back to Xerox for over $0.5B. Usually, when an activist investor leaves, his people get kicked out the door right behind him. But LP had made himself so indispensable by rewriting the company's entire operational playbook that Xerox couldn't afford to lose him.

FF to 2026, and the company is in a tough spot with the stock down, and the board immediately handed him the keys as CEO.

If anyone knows how to engineer a financial miracle out of a tight corner, it is a guy who spent a decade learning the ropes from Carl Icahn himself.

and many people misunderstood what I meant to convey.

Yes, every corporation is run with CEO to President to VP system. And is not what I was talking about.

But what I meant by breaking up Nike into different segment is to do what GE did.
As many of you were aware, GE was struggling for 15 years because of big conglomerate model that Jack Welch put together. They basically got rid of old segmensts like electronic and appliance to another company. Got rid of finance division. And others that were too many to mention. And concetrated on Aerospace, mostly jet engines. GE Vernova which mostly makes jet turbines. And GE Healthcare.

I suggested that is path that Nike should take too.
Currently, Nike making sandals to $600.00 retro snickers under one umbrell. That is too wide offering for one company to effectively run.
Yes, sell Converse.
License out many products.
Jordan should be brought to performance basketball and performance division. A division for all Nike performance is handled.
Nike ACG and SB and other items should be group together for Nike orient towards young people. Because Nike is doing poor job of reaching out to really young people.
And another division for Nike product that are for mass public like dept store, national chain with lesser level of product but has high volume.
Another division for licensed products including NCAA.

Each division with it s own CEO who has to answer to head CEO but with independence to do whatever it takes to show the results.

Right now GE is finally kicking a-s.

If Nike continues at current path, it will be DOA. Dead on arrival.

you should have left dell already. the company is crumbling and the company only cares about how much the CEO makes. Michael Dell has not done one thing for it employees

I'm the richest woman in America. I have a firm that despises me due to my faults. I have 10 ELT members. Two love only themselves. Each of them loves no one but one is very loyal.

I have a wardrobe that transports me to the “big tent” that I used to reference in 2019…just look at the circus that I’ve created where my pink slips are tickets, the leadership has smoke/mirrors, and the only thing missing from my my wardrobe is a flower that shoots water and a red nose.

I have plenty to eat, a mansion to sleep in, and somehow still can't understand that the only person who still wants me here is me.

He is all over the place. AK is so weird.

These guys tricked all of us investors for years, and now it is time for them to go and to bring Hock Tan in. He is the only one who can save this sinking ship.

It was one year ago that our ceo decided to file a lawsuit against the former company President, CFO & Chief Sales Officer>After 1 yr & $1M in legal fees spent on both sides, the case is heading towards depositions>The only evidence that the defense has produced is a screenshot of a Efast 5500 page>They have deleted texts, spoiled evidence, & there about 10 MoA employees who could be deposed to testify against them. Deck is stacked>They want to settle but MoA wont give a # + I say this settles for $1.5+legal fees split + Non Compete for 10 yrs. Enough to effectively lock them out. there are more cards to play like complaints to Finra, Sec, NYDFs. stay tuned & grab your popcorn. The second act begins in 10 minutes 🎥🎞️🍿

How much did our ex CEO get paid by Google to implement cloud in Japan?
One of the most inexplicable decisions ever made.

Anyone has a guess based on his prior experiences?

Layoffs=Outsource to Indian owned companies and blame AI. Wake up folks your kids will not have opportunities.

Stock has done nothing in 5 years. I'm surprised the they haven't started selling more parts of the company. Typical of tanking companies.

First order of business is give everyone a raise and stock options one the stock crashes this fall. Second order of business is to fire all the managers and leaders. 3rd order of business is to get rid of the coffee machines. Jd

Has destroyed my will to work anymore. This place is a he-l hole that will not get better until CR is fired and his entire ELT. This latest round is the d-mbest sh-t they have exposed us to.

Charles Schwab sits on a mountain of cash and still can’t be bothered to pay its frontline people a living wage. CEO Rick Wurster talked about raising salaries because the cost of living keeps climbing… then quietly didn’t follow through this year. Meanwhile the company rolled out a fresh $20 billion stock buyback in July 2025 so shareholders and executives can keep getting richer.
CS&S workers and the rest of the frontline grind every single day under that pressure. But leadership still loves the corporate Kumbaya about “seeing through the customer’s eyes.” Funny how nobody ever has to see through the employee’s eyes while they’re drowning.

No word from Enrique since restructuring and layoffs were announced. No word from him when Stripe made their ridiculous offer. Time is up. Earnings call is tomorrow, our CEO can no longer be hiding. Hopefully he was too busy working on a big plan to turnaround the company and will take everyone by surprise... Or maybe not...

Amazing. Is there anything wrong with the American system? Are we winning?

Enrique was chairman of the board. He did not have equal status with other board members.

To say a Board Chair is "equal" to other board members during a CEO search completely misunderstands how corporate governance works. I am refuting what someone else said to me.

While every board member gets a single vote on the final candidate, the Chairman of the Board has a completely unique and dominant role in the process.

They control the filter: The Chairman selects and directs the executive search committee.

They choose which recruitment firms to use and set the core qualifications for candidates. They decide who makes the shortlist before the rest of the board even sees them.

Controls the Agenda: The Chair manages the meeting schedules, decides which candidates get the most discussion time, and acts as the official gatekeeper of information.

Leads the Negotiations: The Chair is the person who actually sits down to negotiate the final compensation, perks, and contract terms with the chosen candidate.

Becomes the Boss: Once hired, the CEO reports directly to the Chairman.

The Chair is the one who establishes performance metrics, runs executive evaluations, and holds the leverage to initiate a firing.In corporate governance, the Chairman is not just sitting in an equal circle. They guide the entire trajectory of who gets hired, how they are managed, and how the board votes.

Enrique bears greater responsibility for hiring Alex Chriss. To the one troll on this site that probably sits on the comms team, you are wrong on this.

Seeing the Iraq pics on Campus, it looks like Dan Amman will become CEO soon (2026, maybe 2027 latest). His presence was definitely noticeable. And reading his background, he seems next for the CEO job.
Does that mean DW is done soon? With Dan’s financial background, he’ll want an industry leading CFO, not Neil, so maybe finance org will get some relief too. Change is coming!

https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/4757276/Profile-Dan-Ammann

stock sinking why CEO's nut heads still around? As a stock holder i want them to be fired for their lousy job.

If they cut heads and get another $5B in free cash flow? Personally, doesn’t mean you’re smart to just cut heads, anyone could do it. Where are the new products, the innovation, the “I wanna work there” moments? I still fail to understand how Board supports a one-trick pony.

AK is all over the media doing damage control.
