Two weeks ago I laid off more than 20% of my workforce. I didn’t do it because Cloudflare is struggling. We posted record revenue growth, have strong free cash flow and are adding an unprecedented number of customers around the world. I did it because business is changing, and to win the future, Cloudflare needs to change with it.

or does it feel like policies and procedures change on a daily basis?
Noticed several different leaders (mostly Directors) had their title in Outlook/Teams changed to “CW Optum Business Leader-Requisition.”
Does anyone know what this means and if it has anything to do with impending layoffs?
I’ve never worked at a company that changes course as much as this one, constantly chasing whichever way the wind happens to be blowing, whether politically or technologically. One minute it’s one strategy, the next it’s the complete opposite, like nobody even remembers what they were pushing six months ago.
Many people post on here about where is all the work going to go with layoffs? None of this has been addressed since VSP 1.0.. We were wasting so much money of useless “projects”, meetings, reviews, slide decks, paralysis by analysis, that the thousands and thousands of people RIF’d have made no significant impact to progress. VZ is changing and those useless projects will all cease once the gutting is done. It’s unnecessary work and those doing to work will not be replaced. The end of VZ as we knew it is happening in front of us, daily. Su-ks, but that’s reality when you are up to your eyeballs in debt and only answer to analysts and shareholders.
Has anyone heard any information about when the blackout window is to the 401K Plan right before the 6/29 Spinoff? I am moving to the Aerospace side and need to make some changes, but would like to make them as close to the spin as possible. Thanks
New focus on expanded documentation they say. Do they think we are id--ts? Just ask us to directly train the AI that is meant to replace us, why don'tcha?
They have brought in three bigwigs from Microsoft and Google - come on. We know what they are here for, and it is disgusting.
I hope folks see what's coming and prepare.
Just another reason to change up the agency model and contracts. Wake-up people…
Your union “leadership” are not helping your cause. But they will be quick to want your support when contract time comes.
Get involved at your locals and change your outcomes. Prems/wire techs outnumber the other technician groups.
Major shake up coming across Enterprise Partnerships in the near future. Expect to be impacted in one way or another.
Are we still expecting the next round of org changes and small rounds of JEs on the 21st?
Will see what are the announcements later today but from emails and news, big changes, hopefully for the better, but I expect big cuts as well coming soon..
Good luck to everyone out there!
Has anyone been told or heard anything about changes to CXM or MBA roles? Hearing something about a possible “change in responsibilities” coming?

A company that has long said “agents are the core of our business model “ just made significant changes to their contracts. We will see how that dichotomy plays out over the next few years.
I heard we are switching back to Microsoft 365 since Google is not streamlined, adds more steps, and prevents simple tasks. Has anyone heard this too?
And now after many failed attempts to do an upgrade that’s been in works for months and months, they are entering a hard freeze since it failed, yet again. SMH.
Anyone have any insight as to why modeling was moved out of corporate risk?
Somebody posted under the Gas Prices thread that a memo went out regarding a change in the WFH schedule for Burlington due to insufficient parking for CFS employees. I did not get this message. Can anybody confirm this? What is the change and when does it start?
For some reason, and don't ask...lol...I did a random Nielsen search on reddit, and sure enough the first thing that came up was an 18yr old thread from back in the day during the original Nielsen demolition by Calhoun/Habib regarding their "genius" idea that deleting the "reply all" button in our Microsoft Outlook emails would save money! Lol. Man, I remember this like it was yesterday. This would have been circa 2008, about 2 years into the "transformation." And here we are all these years later!

Every week: new awareness mail, new policy, new mandatory training, new dashboard screenshot. Engineers asked for AI acceleration - instead they got Outlook copilots managing Copilot.
Leadership changes coming? any info….
As SAPPHIRE '26 wraps up, look for merch and rebranding swag being given away. The company is now SAIP! All in on AI.
A yet still weirder acronym than SAP ... so I checked on its meaning:
Systems Acquisition and Implementation Program?
Substance Abuse Intervention Program?
God, I miss J White's marketing genius.
It would be nice to hear what other SF agents are doing to prepare for new contract changes. Set the bi--hing aside since many of us feel like venting. What is your business approach to the drastic changes to compensation.
What does the agency footprint look like? Fewer agents? Far less support staff? AI self serve?
So we will keep the same OLM/ RLM model or some large scale org change is coming soon? Any insights?
It is happening. Massive number of retirements and mid career employees leaving. Super wild to see.
DeepL announced plans to cut approximately 25% of its workforce. This reduction affects about 250 employees. CEO Jarek Kutylowski cited a massive structural shift from artificial intelligence. The Cologne-based company develops AI translation tools. DeepL aims for fewer layers and faster decisions with this change.

I’m officially out of this hellhole in August and I just want to hear some of the feelings of people who left. I’ve been here for 4 years, 2 years too long and decided to go back to school full time. I could only imagine it feels like the weight of the world off of my shoulders
This is how I am understanding it:
What will happen June 29th? Any rumors or theories on the organization changes planned? Very little has happened so far. Is this the breather before the plunge?
What do u think after the last town hall?
What does anyone know about what is supposed to change State Farm? Apparently it's a big deal.
Let the circus begin. The Coterra name was removed already so priorities are clear
Approved by CEO, announced very soon (week or two). Target date to transition is Aug 2026.
Replacing Shobith Varshney. Not sure how the move is going to work itself out, given technology at Citi has a long way to go before it can be called as modernized. That would take a dedicated person
Anyway, I remember some who used to say David is Trim Ryan, given references to London but well... The position could also be a crown of thorns. Good luck to David either way
FA will be undergoing a massive change. Expect more layoffs and restructuring
Anyone who's spent five seconds using them knows that Excel is way better than Sheets than what you'd get from say, Copilot vs. Google Gemini. Are they trying to destroy my productivity? I already know the answer. You complete fu--ing mo--ns.
