Several Q1 org changes appear to be in progress and are yet to be announced. The announcements are expected tomorrow. It also looks like Marrs is moving back to the U.S. Please share any changes you’ve observed within your org.

That part of the ship seems to be sinking faster than the rest. What’s the scoop?

…stock options are vested and under water.
Expect more.

“Christopher Smith, who has led Ford’s global efforts on legislation, regulation and government policies worldwide since 2022, is expected to depart the automaker, according to people familiar with the plans who asked not to be identified revealing internal matters. The reason for his departure is unclear, though one of the people said it’s expected within weeks.”

I work in a part of FI that is now a part of Fidelity Wealth (yet we’ve been given no direction or concrete info). Anyone heard of upcoming relocation pushes away from Smithfield? The 900 building/traffic/parking garage is a complete disaster and no one cares. Wondering if they’re looking to reduce headcount there.

Anyone mid internal hiring process and notified that the req has been put on hold? I had an interview scheduled for early January but now it is cancelled. Is this just to see if the position will be eliminated?

Silence is all we hear. Org changes all over. What’s happening?

Not a good look to clinicians, clients and internal staff. Paints the company in a negative light.

looks like the house of cards is coming down...

You asked what our obstacles are so here are a few that are slowing us down

1. Jira - we spend more time trying to please the Jira g-ds than we do on development. It doesn’t work. Maybe it was good at JPMC, but not here.

2. Fortify - nothing like remediating a bunch of false positives

3. Language barriers - there are very few Americans on project calls. We can’t understand the Ind*ians and they don’t know our systems or products

These are just a few. Please feel free to chime in with more.

Good luck, Dan, trying to dazzle customers and grow the customer base—you can’t even take care of your internal customers! I still can’t access the severance portal, even after HR intervention. At this point, it’s laughable. Once again, Verizon fails to execute anything correctly.

Any change in prabhat org? Suddenly townhall canceled.

An acquaintance said he was asked to interview for his own position, but he already had something lined up and refused. He was one of the lucky ones who actually wanted to be cut. But is this something that happens? I don’t understand the point of it. I don’t see why he’d lie to me, but I honestly can’t figure out why they’d do that.

Sundays are the worst when it comes to any hopes of restful sleep. Another surprise meeting? More changes (discussed secretly for months) out of the blue? Continued silence in reply to repeated pleas for explanation or help?

I’ll be gone soon. Until then, I’ll continue enduring the Loki-driven whack-a-doodle nonsense.

HPOM was started to standardize the product organizations and make them more lean. There are constant talks about “too many product managers” in most areas. Does anyone know when the next phase of HPOM to lay off most product managers will start?

Or corporate compliance in general? All the leading stakeholders (CR director, program manager, compliance specialists, fair & responsible banking leaders, etc.) have mysteriously exited the bank and now I just saw someone post that CQA is pulling out of the program too. Seems like the whole program is being redesigned as nothing more than a window dressing.

Used to do some CR reporting and thought about applying for one of their recent openings but something shady seems to be going on in the 2nd line CR team but no one is talking about it. No different than any other area I guess. Just buyin' some time until I can make my exit too, but can't take much more of my current team/manager. I'm afraid there is no greener grass to be found anywhere at this bank.

Stankey’s memo was triggered by internal warning signs from surveys. The results showed a noticeable drop in morale and buy‑in. His solution may have backfired. How else could he have addressed declining employee engagement?
