#change

Positive the employee value proposition that will be rolled will only be favorable to the ones who decided what the change would be.

I’m spending more time trying to figure out how to turn features off that were automatically changed on my Outlook. Then I am actually working because everything is so inefficient and such a pain in the @… but I can’t even turn these features off because they come right back! I hate this. I’m absolutely confident and comfortable with change, but this is just unnecessary unproductive and unwanted.

If they’re gonna put this on our computers, then they need to give us the access to make the changes we prefer in regards to Settings. I’m tired of opening up emails just to have to close out a bunch of automatic Outlook calendar invites that don’t make any sense and we’re not requested or needed!

GIVE US ACCESS TO MANAGE OUR OWN SETTINGS SO WE CAN BE PRODUCTIVE AND TURN OFF THESE DISTRACTIONS AND ANNOYANCES!!!

new CIO starts today, was CIO at Fannie Mae

it’s my last week and there are so many emotions.

I’m thankful for the opportunities, sad but relieved it’s over, grateful that I can take time off and figure out what’s next… overwhelmed and afraid of all the unknowns.

it’s a big change. some of my colleagues have shared that they’re “jealous” I’m leaving, but I don’t think they understand what’s really on this side of the equation. I’m freaking out!

those who are leaving this week, what needs to be done for off boarding while wrapping things up?

Whatever the reasons behind his departure, from where I sit Dallas was one of the few senior leaders who seemed to genuinely understand how sales at NetApp needs to function — how the field, partners, customers and internal teams actually need to work together to win.

At a time when the organisation already feels like it is going through constant change, losing someone with that level of commercial understanding raises even more questions about the direction we are heading in.

People keep talking about transformation, high achievement and driving results, but you also have to ask why experienced people who understand the business are leaving.

Who is actually listening to the people on the ground?

It appears that the UK hub is being replaced by India and it being made a main technical hub. I guess we did train our own replacements.

All I keep hearing from multiple departments is that January is a major reorganization is going to happen company wide, heard from VZW and VZB departments alike, whether a layoff happens this year, appears it might, so the shuffle and changes will happen. Not all changes are bad, more efficient work habits and dead weight, and yes the union has caused a lackadaisical attitude among many not pulling their own weight, a lot a house cleaning needs and should take place if you like it or not, change will happen. This wasn’t my first job and probably won’t be my last.

What changes are expected now that there's a new president of Corporates?

Paul Taylor was named President of DXC Technology, assuming the role from Raul Fernandez, who will continue as Chief Executive Officer.

Thoughts?

Has anyone heard about Target simplifying the organization in September?

We will re-arrange the chairs on the Titanic and call it a day.

Store management layoffs confirmed for October. Also some addiontional divesting. Finally , some major commission changes in the works for 2027. All confirmed.

Does anyone have insider info on the recent announcement that DF is stepping into a smaller role? Was he pushed out, or did he choose the move? RV Ops culture is abysmal in my experience, super high strung and controlling. How do people feel about the new leader?

Starting to witness some changes and challenges both at the stakeholder and operational levels. The miracle of Covid hands off performance is starting to show. As assets age no amount of resilience will improve performance and productivity. The Covid era bubble is bursting. Expect serious declines and reductions in uptime with elevated OPC…

Verizon new ciso! Something going on....

With all the recent changes, I have no other explanation.

Ford should rotate managers, supervision... around or bring quality talent from outside to change the culture.

DDAT locking down claude code and cutting off use by business teams that have already been using and have built substantial workflows of value at a fraction of the cost or that DDAT probably previously told them they couldn’t do right now…or they didn’t know how to do it… the AI revolution… it’s beginning…

What does this really mean?

Enough people around Stankey have finally gotten in his ear and policy changes are in the works. Senior HR leadership is preparing to roll it out in the next 6-12 months.

It will be presented as a "change to presence report requirements."

It will most likely involve quarterly presence requirements instead of weekly, with some (probably not a ton) of leeway for occasional work from home.

The biggest factor motivating the change is problems attracting and retaining new hires - especially younger workers.

Nobody will tell Stankey directly that he was wrong, but it's being couched as "You've done an amazing job transforming our culture! We're ready to take the next step now."

He's bought into that.

It seems as though we have lost our way to deliver high customer satisfaction. The forward models are uninspired. Quality leaders seem seem to be happy with status quo. There needs to be a change in the Quality leadership so we can start engineering vehicles customers want and deliver high satisfaction. Is it time for a new Quality Czar?

Can anyone explain the upcoming changes for small and medium and midmarket business?

So did AIG move from Cognizant to Mphasis for IT support

It's not. Everything has shifted, the economy, the industry, the expectations. We don't have to like the changes, but complaining about them is fruitless. You have two options: adapt or find somewhere that still fits who you are. Which you might find out is not as easy these days.

Who’s heard what?

I wonder, if eventually, this forum of associate honesty would inspire change by the top 4 or 5 leadership positions. Change that they would claim as their smart thinking, and result in a bigger compensation, bonus, reward.

Important change on how you access Webex

Keeping our data and systems secure means evolving how we work, including how we access tools like Webex. With this in mind, Webex will now follow Cisco's Trusted Device Standard and only be accessible from Cisco-trusted devices.

What to expect:
This change will roll out in phases, beginning August 31 and continuing through September. Once it takes effect, you'll be automatically signed out of Webex on all your devices. Simply sign back in on a Cisco-trusted device, such as your Cisco laptop. Going forward, you can only sign in to Webex using a Cisco-trusted device.
If you're using Android, you'll need to use the Webex app in your work profile.

Why this matters:
Adding Webex to our trusted device standard gives us an extra layer of protection for more sensitive data and helps pave the way for new Al capabilities to enhance your Webex experience.

tldr; you wont be able to use Webex on your personal phone without installing Cisco spyware that severely limits your phones usability for security reasons

So if you don’t hold the handrail and text while stair climbing on campus does your behavior instantly change when you go offshore or to site? Oh yeah I forgot. So many of you never leave spring and don’t know what this company actually does.

I heard there are big changes to FCI under T.S. Has anyone heard anything?

Don’t wait to be picked — pick yourself first. If the writing’s on the wall, update that resume today. Change on your terms beats change by sur

I heard Elliot Management is cutting their losses and moving on from Medtronic to greener pastures.

Heard about upcoming org changes in D&D, not sure when and what it’s going to look like.

how is it possible that brokerage can have a mobility rate almost 40%?
am I in an echo chamber in tech where there is no mobility?
are other business functions having one in three folks or I guess higher since nothing's happening in tech change roles? is that number for a one-year time period? or is it for like their entire career at Fidelity?

Sam Mehta now president and CEO effective immediately with Kubasik being found inconsistent with l3h code of conduct

Does anyone know why this email came out yesterday moving GRE to the engineering group?
