Here's an IPO to stay away from!

I thought the Innovation without disruption strategy made a lot of sense and was confident it going to work, especially with the hybrid connect strategy (allowing legacy systems to connect into new cloud services/analytics seamlessly). When PD came on as CEO, that seemed to quickly change, and any legacy seemed to become a bad word to be thrown away like garbage. I investigated what PD did at previous CEO role at Aspect, and it seemed to be a complete distain for anything legacy there as well. Only now, I see that company (Alvaria) seems to recognize the mistake and trying to restore Aspect legacy as a business after it was decimated by PD. AM seemed like a pretty smart guy and the team under him as well. They all came up with this Innovation without disruption strategy (after actually talking to customers) and I thought it was going to work. I am disappointed that the company is being flushed down the toilet now by PD.

The layoffs have been real one sided and asymmetrical. Time to concentrate on the CEO and the ELT as they need to bear some responsibility and weight for performance.

When will Jeff Miller be sacked? And, possible alternative CEO that can turn Halliburton around?

Chevron was once a great company that valued loyalty, years of service and experience. Your 20+ years of service was looked at as an asset that would be rewarded by a career in which you could choose when to retire with dignity. No longer the case. Under the 'profit right now' short-sighted leadership of Mike Wirth and a phony worthless HR dept, as soon as times got tough they shamelessly let go of their most tenured and loyal employees. Ageism 101. What's left is a batch of fearful, low-morale employees that fully realize how dispensible they are at any given moment. To prospective Chevron employees I say the current state of the company is not worth your time and effort. Look elsewhere where you'll be valued as an asset and not a disposable object at the company's whim.

Thanks, Mr. Wirth for destroying what was once a top workplace filled with content employees. Under your leadership the company is now a shell of its former glory.

It’s no secret inside or outside the company: Stankey is on thin ice. The board can only cover for him so long with stock price smoke and mirrors while the foundation crumbles.

Under his watch we’ve had massive outages leaving customers furious and regulators circling, along with embarrassing data breaches exposing millions of people’s personal info and destroying trust in the brand. On top of that, his tone-deaf RTO mandate tanked morale, drove talent out the door, and turned AT&T into a poster child for corporate arrogance. And how did he respond? Not with solutions, but with ultimatums in all-hands emails.

This isn’t leadership — it’s a slow-motion collapse. Employees know it. Customers know it. Shareholders are starting to realize it too. Stankey’s “commit or quit” email didn’t motivate anyone; it broadcast desperation. And with every outage, every breach, every resignation, it’s clearer that he’s not the guy to fix this mess.

Don’t be shocked if the board makes a move. At this point, the only real question is whether they’ll act in time to save what’s left of AT&T.

Jassy and Musk noticeably absent.

It’s quite obvious that the stank is being slowly pushed out of AT&T. If the company fired him, the the stock would tank.

At&t you put billions of dollars in a man that doesn’t understand basic supply and demand? Please see the reference the T-Mobile model. Stupid is, is what stupid does.

Whether it is Restructuring across 120 countries or Layoffs Bell across the globe?

Close to 7 thousands to 12.2K will get a return label to send their Laptop back to their HQ

US will be the most hit (Close to 4K) due to recent tarrifs and Immigration policies, whether you are on H1 or GC or any visa other than US citizen better to pack off

The restructuring wont affect ONLY one person that is none other than CEO

Detroit Free Press

Pump, dump, and peace out.

Any new CEO is going to try and impress everybody who matters (which is not employees, by the way) by making immediate moves to improve results. In this case, that will most likely mean layoffs. The chances are higher that a major round will happen as a result hen not.

AS of 3rd September Appointment of Stephen Tulenko as Chief Executive Officer. AJ to stay on in an advisory role for now...

Anyone agrees with this ?
We thought Wayne was the monster.

So spill the tea, who is the paramour?

EH is somewhere out there crying up a storm at the fact that he has to cut you loose tomorrow. Reflect on the toll these layoffs have on your CEO.. Poor JD lost a whole pound of flesh last year.

That’s all….

J. Stankey
CEO Pay
$26,410,845
Median Employee Pay
$122,611
CEO Pay Ratio

CEO will make more on Jan 1st of the year in one day more than most employees in the entire year.

Any guesses/rumors/gossips?

Apart from CEO.

Hans Vestberg just gave us a corporate update… about his meniscus. Surgery, rehab, jogging again — as if Verizon’s future depends on his morning runs.

Employees are getting cut, the stock is stuck, and competitors are eating Verizon alive. But Hans? He’s posting selfies with interns and bragging about finishing a 5K.

This isn’t leadership. It’s narcissism. Verizon has become a backdrop for Hans’ personal brand — where his knee surgery is a bigger headline than the company’s direction.

The meniscus healed. The company hasn’t.

Who was the best or worst CEO of Avaya?

Donald Peterson
Louis D’Ambrosio
Charles Giancarlo
Kevin J Kennedy
Jim Chirico
Alan Masarek
Patrick Dennis

Best?

Worst?

State Farm here! Come over and read our posts about what this sh-t hole is doing to its people! Your CEO has set the pace/tone for all the other CEOs to fall in line! They attend the same meetings, talk to the same consultants and run in the same circles. I've been at SF 30 years and need a couple more to retire. If you happen to have SF insurance cancel that cr-p, it's too expensive, service su-ks and all you are doing is giving 10-15% of your premium to a SF Agent. I'm about to move all of my internet and cell away from AT&T after your CEO sent that letter to employees basically telling them we owe you absolutely nothing and we expect absolute conformance and loyalty to AT&T! Same sh-t hole people no matter where you work in corporate America.

You can build an empire and be a nice f@cking man.
Hans Vestberg tried the “nice” part — but the empire crumbled on his watch.

Hey Staples folks. Coming from a concerned Walgreens employee that just learned your ex CEO Michael Motz is now CEO of Walgreens. What do we have to look forward to? Is he good, bad? Pros? Cons? Is it all really doom n gloom from here on out? Don’t care for the fear mongering but curious what we potentially have in our future?

Thanks!

Every acquisition this guy has been involved with has been a failure. Assets were sold for 1/2 or less what they paid for them. And this is good ?

This doesn’t look like performance to me.

It looks like failure yet he is still handsomely compensated.

Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters is standing out in the global banking sector by maintaining a flexible, hybrid work policy and resisting the rigid office mandates now sweeping through much of Wall Street. As peers from companies like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs urge staff back to traditional office rhythms, Winters has doubled down on a philosophy of employee autonomy and trust, placing his bank in sharp contrast to its U.S. and U.K. peers.

If you love wasting time and money commuting to an office so you can send emails and sit on teams calls all day, here are a few other things you can do:

1. End direct deposit of your paycheck. Get a paper check and run to the bank to deposit it so you can collaborate with the bank teller.
2. End online bill payment. Write a check and mail it in for everything - Netflix, credit cards, everything. And for your AT&T bill, go down to the store every month and use a paper check so you can collaborate with your retail colleagues.
3. End all online shopping. You need to buy something for someone across the country? Go to a store, buy it, then go to the post office and ship it. Collaborate with your mailman.

Don’t complain. Back in my day you had to walk 10 miles in the snow uphill both ways to get a jug of hooch.

It’s called progress and evolution.

Execs are obsessed with pushing employees to accept change even when the employees are hurt by it. That is EXCEPT with RTO because the execs don’t get the ego boost of and control from being able to survey all that they command. We need to turn back progress in that case. Same goes for anything else that is more of a bottom up benefit than top down command.

Question - why not used to select CEO(s)?

Keep an eye on the 8-K filings OpenText must file with the security exchange as a publicly traded company. Any changes which can impact investors have to be publicly available. The various 8-Ks will start pointing out changes around selling off products as well.

Last week or so 8-K are around comp changes for the interim CEO. In addition to his existing salary, he gets another 50K+ in cash every month and he is eligible for up to 100% of his salary in variable comp for FY26 and he now has an added target equity of $281k in shares.

Meanwhile, our customers are asking who the heck is steering the ship and WFRs are being aligned as part of slimming business units for sale.

Hans went on Lewis Howes’ podcast to talk about how he leads Verizon. He mentioned writing “boss contracts,” holding 256 listening meetings, logging every hour into six buckets, and keeping a list of 39 names he checks in with.

It sounds organized, but the scoreboard tells a different story. Verizon trades like a utility, buried in debt from the $52.9B C-band buy. Growth is flat, T-Mobile is winning subs, and inside the company people are worn down by endless “transformations” and layoffs.

The podcast Hans sells habits. The Verizon Hans runs a company that’s been 3–5 years behind. That’s the disconnect.

With the CEO stepping down, it’s hard not to feel uncertain about what’s next. Whoever takes over is likely to bring major changes. And we all know that frontline employees are usually the first to feel the impact of any reorganization or cuts. The economy’s slipping, the job market isn’t great, and many of us are already stretched thin, both financially and emotionally. A little stability would go a long way in easing the pressure we’ve all been feeling. But right now, it’s hard to see where that might come from.

The longtime CEO, who allegedly spent $2.4 million on classic cars as hundreds of Bungie employees were laid off, will be replaced by Justin "overdelivery" Truman.

Yes, Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, personally reviews the compensation of all 42,000 employees every cycle, using machine learning tools to streamline the process. He has stated this is a key part of his management strategy, ensuring fair pay and motivation, often increasing the company’s operational expenses.

Ever since I got promoted to customer I've been unable to stargaze ELT.
Is MJ still on the bench as Interim Co-CEO?
Truly a rockstar.

Congratulations to the board for a fine pick! You can count on them to make the right decision at the right time.

Executive leadership could have made a significant difference with Cisco - when you look at Google, Microsoft, NVIDA, etc they have very smart technical CEOs and have been able communicate and lead their companies into new key technology trends - unlike Cisco which always seemed to be caught flat footed over the last 15 years. Having a CEO that has weak technical aptitude has been one of our Achilles heel for way too long… so many missteps… so many lost opportunities…. it’s just embarrassing and has cost us dearly over the years…..

AT&T was sc--wing up my broker's ability to authenticate my account so I Iost some money on a trade opportunity this afternoon because I could not get into my account. It is going to be a little more than the $0.37 you paid me in guarantees the last time AT&T created connectivity problems.

Who else is tuning in this morning to see how our CEO will inspire or demoralize us?

but when he needs someone to run something he hires all the old folks. He brought back Bonnie G out of retirement as a consultant, and has now move Sue J to run the transformation team.
