Moody's downgraded Conduent to B3, which is the equivalent of junk status. Too much debt - and now difficult to fund its operations given the high borrowing costs. New CEO Harsha Agadi not making any progress.

CEO change
Good move to replace Barry as the CEO. She mismanaged the company in many ways.
Do you expect more layoffs when Bonfig takes over as CEO?
Destroy Nike and then get rewarded
That is the exact message being sent with the appointment of HON to CEO of Lululemon. It’s disgusting that this website continues to censor every post like we are in greater china (with CS!) ha
Jokes aside, this is a serious matter - what is truly wrong with the world when the message is sent that you can destroy one of the biggest brands in the world and then get rewarded by becoming the ceo of a competitor. Absolutely egregious.
I’m sure this post will be deleted as everything is ultra censored on here but hopefully the message will come thru.
It’s good to be the king. $60M good.

YTD Wells underperformed broader banks XLF
Ytd: WFC down almost 14%
Broader large financials: down 5.4%
Charlie Scharf, a banking legend only in his own mind. The growth is not materializing. I give him about 18 more months. Maybe he-l move to Chase when Dimon retires and f@&k them up too.
Layoff confirmed
Christian Klein confirmed on CNBC this morning layoffs are coming when he challenged if he would follow META's call of a 10% cut.
He said efficiency is a priority for SAP
Life is bigger than this
I hope everyone is well, and GK and the Management Committee - if you see this, I hope you go to therapy and heal your ruthless souls.
We need new CEO like Apple
If Apple can get a new CEO, why can't Q?
Breach of fiduciary duty
Wondering if there is a case for breaches of fiduciary duties, duty of loyalty, and duty of care in the selecting of the short lived CEO. Any legal experts out there want to chime in?
Performance Appraisal Process-Here We Go Again !!
Not to be out done, but Human Resources has once again made the annual performance evaluation process harder than rocket science, and has added layer after layer of unwelcome, unwanted, unnecesary and extreme complications to an already ardous process for associates and managers. We are collectively FED UP with all of this BS ! It used to be a simple 1 page form. very effective. high impact. reviews took 1 hour. Now it is at least 8 hours for each associates. It is the crazyist thing many of us have every seen and this behavior from a run a way HR group has got to stop. Does the CEO and COO support this ? You support this ? Memo to the CEO: we don't want this process. need this process. eliminate this process or you will lose support from the rank and file for god's sake.
HON CEO of Lululemon
Woooooooooow. There is life after death
PECO CEO is out
This is going to be interesting to watch. Any predictions on how this'll affect the rest of us?
Ratting out bad apples
I've been at this company for ages, and I've worked with all kinds of different teams. Even besides the top C-suite folks, there are some total deadweight employees that really should get fired or transferred to another department — especially the ones that are in charge of all our core stuff. I already sent a long email to a handful of C-level execs and the new CEO calling out these bad apples. These je-ks are holding us back from building really good products.
Will our CEO take the advice of the International Energy Agency?
The IEA has advised workers to work from home due to the oil shortages that have started and will soon be getting worse. Will Elevance Health’s CEO acknowledge this new reality by removing the silly in-office requirements?

#WSJ: The CEO Preaching Straight Talk About AI and Job Losses
Wall Street Journal: 4/19/2026 #WSJ 📰
Verizon’s Dan Schulman is all in on AI, but he warns that it is time for business leaders to acknowledge its disruptive potential.
For a big-company CEO with big AI ambitions, Verizon's [vz0.24% v
Dan Schulman doesn't pull punches about the pain the technology could unleash on America's workforce.
Just months into the job, he has predicted 20% to 30% unemployment within the next two to five years. He warns that advancements in humanoid robots could upend the manual-labor jobs still seen as safe today. And he has pushed for more education and reskilling to help workers adapt to the intensifying tech disruption.
Couched in the blunt AT talk is a warning for other CEOs: Be candid about the coming disruption, or risk a public backlash. “It’s a very difficult time, and everyone knows it is,” Schulman said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “So I think being authentic, being realistic, telling the truth, as best you can” is key. That belief, he said, is why Verizon created a $20 million career-transition and retraining fund for the “age of AI” when the company began laying off 13,000 workers last year.
Schulman's big picture has also included sweeping job cuts. The 13,000 #layoffs he announced shortly after his appointment
as CEO in October were Verizon's largest ever —but necessary to make Verizon more efficient, he said. Altogether, he is seeking to cut $9 billion in costs. Verizon has said its #layoffs weren't related to AI.
The carrier was "too hierarchical, way too bureaucratic, way too process-oriented as opposed to outcomes-oriented," Schulman told investors at a Morgan Stanley (M5100% ) event last month.
In meetings, he has repeatedly told Verizon staff they must embrace AI, describing it as core to the company's future. He used it himself to comb through some He used it himself to comb through some 8,000 responses after asking employees how he could reduce bureaucracy, he said.
Schulman's embrace of Al goes deeper than cost-cutting. He envisions a company wholly reshaped by the technology, from improved customer service to more personalized options for
consumers.
And he has encouraged staffers to talk to their children about Al at the dinner
table. In one all-hands, Schulman recommended that staff ask Al to write their obituary to see how the technology works and how it frames their lives. He
has also invited staffers to experiment with AI by writing poems to their loved ones. (He said he has done the same for his wife.)
Some employees responded by using Al to write poems for Schulman-and they weren't bad, he said. ~

Predict Shell’s CEO’s eventual layoff
What triggers and when will Shell nominate a new CEO?
An oil industry CEO is typically fired when they fail to balance the "iron triangle" of shareholder returns, operational discipline, and strategic pivots.
Common Triggers for Dismissal:
Capital Indiscipline: Overspending on new drilling or expensive mergers that don't immediately boost the share price.
Activist Pressure: Investment groups (like Elliott Management) demanding a return to "traditional" business models and simpler corporate structures.
Safety or Environmental Scandals: Major leaks or safety failures that result in crippling fines and "brand-ki-ling" headlines.
Operational Stagnation: Falling behind competitors in integrating new technologies.

VZ Consumer - Interim CEO
Still no permanent CEO for Consumer. His title includes “interim”. Another sign that consumer is over and going 100% third party.

Can we bring Richard back?
Can we bring Richard back already and get rid of the Temu CEO? What would it take to make this happen?
It was nice to have a leader who led with humility, grace, and reason. One who cared about his employees. Bring back the old white guy!
Of course we're having layoffs
A new CEO has to show how serious he is about cost cutting and being efficient. And of course that he's going to use layoffs to show that. Never mind that his pay and the bonus he'll get from this will negate the majority of the savings. But what a great first impression, buddy. Great job.
I want to be the next CEO
How would I go about doing that? Is there someone I should send my resume to?
The reinvention phase has failed now we are in the endgame
SB being axed by the board was the final nail in the reinvention coffin. None of its architects or proponents are left in Xerox (JB,MG,SB, DMP). All gone. The street, analysts, investors, rating agencies and financial institutions have all voted with their feet. The board has finally done their job, but it’s 3 years too late. SB in his 4 years in charge missed every outlook or expectation he set. If he was a sales person or sales manager he would have been in a performance improvement plan after 2 quarters. Instead he continued to have the support of the board as the company kept draining its cash, reserves and future to keep returning funds to shareholders even when all the key metrics and results where going horribly wrong and missing plans and expectations every quarter. Now we have an untried, untested CEO who has never led a sales organisation but primary experience is legal and claim to fame is the proxy fight that stopped the Fuji merger that the board are now desperately trying to make. To put that into perspective when Fuji offered to buy Xerox they offered 40 dollars a share compared to the $1.26 a share now, let that sink in, and LP has been part of that from the beginning. The fact a legal guy is in charge should indicate to all the people still in the cult what the next steps are!!!!! We are in the endgame and none of those outcomes reinvent Xerox they consign it to the history books of what was once a trailblazer
CEO fired
When will Cristiano be fired for his incompetence and silence on the declining stock ?
Aksah and CA completely missed the AI bo-m. Bunch of mo--ns. Time to fire them and sell the company to someone who knows how to manage it.
