#leadership

Given that this site is anonymous, isn’t it kind of crazy the amount of speculation that occurs on here? Meaning…no one with information actually posts on here. Incentive being, you can see all these posts of people freaking out, toxicity, anxiety, etc…wouldn’t you think if you had information to share, you’d share it? Like what is the downside? That people hate this place even more? People are more anxious? People stop working? Lol.
It’s already happening. We are the number 1 company on this site. I can’t see things getting much worse. The views per post are insane, given they aren’t bots. People look, but just scroll on by. It’s extremely weird, and asocial. The effort it takes to share info on here is so low…the asymmetrical upside makes it so odd to me that not one person ever shares anything. It makes you realize these people we call “leaders” are some of the most self-centered people we come across in society. Like can you imagine seeing hundreds of people in distress and you SEE IT and had the power to help, and you’re like nah. Everyone at this company goes on this site, VP to analyst, so none of this bs that the plebes are the only people on here. Just so weird. This place is f’d man. Or maybe I’m the odd one out that if I were a VP or above I’d share what I could to help my fellow man/woman.

Since I know these posts get to you.

Gold almighty do something to get the stock up already. Earn your salary.

My portfolio didn't need another dead weight CEO

Occidental Petroleum CEO Vicki Hollub said the war in the Middle East would be settled more quickly if NATO and European countries backed the US and Israel’s military strikes against Iran.

JVB the corporate queen of organizational destruction is at it again. Glaring ageism on display and everyone sees it and knows it. Forcing generals out and bringing inexperienced and unqualified barely out of boot camp privates in. She’s earned her reputation and will leave this organization in the same shambles as she left MM sales. Arnoldi forced to take this demoted sales failure should really inspect this spin up junkie before ops becomes another failed more, better, faster experiment.

In my region Sr. Leaders have started to move some favored Midline Managers into new “special” roles. This always happens at BP right before a big reorg, so Sr. Leaders can save their favorites from being let go. Any one else see this occur in there region? It seems like Meg has some people SHOOK.

She really should not speak in town halls. She is so completely tone deaf and can’t answer a basic question.

When asked about wfh- no good answers just “ we are figuring it out as we go”. Basically- we should be good little children and just shut up about it.

And if we are a “ local company with a national presence”- why did we trash our towns that housed our FSUs? That’s not so neighborly.

Leadership is so out of touch with this company it’s not funny. They play by their own rules and to heck with us and members.

After the net debt fiasco, the CFO is next to be jettisoned. To be replaced with someone better equipped to manage the balance sheet. I imagine the search has already been in progress.

This guy doesn’t know jack fu--ing sh-t about AI. This Town Hall was the worst I’ve ever seen from this incompetent sack of sh-t.

Tell us to implement AI when we’re blocked by D-mb and D-mber Legg and Markus on any actual use case. Can’t wait to get laid off because Legg tripled the Azure bill to accomplish nothing but tell shareholders “AI”.

Thank god ask AT&T has a PDF to podcast generator though, that surely creates value.

As per the -3 Chief HR Officer a few years back, Clap Now. Eat your slop, little piggies.

there was some kind of huddle meeting with each pod. d-mb a-s manager used an analogy of fast food drive thru employee. lol

Is this how they view us? fast food drive thru employee? what a d-mb bi--h.

yea... I mean employee who has all customers information from their ssn, dob, cc #'s, chk # information and ready to be sold off.

would you like bbq sauce and upgrade it xl size?

what a fu-ken clown leadership is.

TMO already partners with SpaceX. Not sure how ATT will respond but I’m certain VZ will once again fail, as they did with the iPhone years ago. Leaders will tell us it’s nothing to worry about and use word salad and elaborate slide decks to propagandize their message. Some will clap and take photos in a red chair while writing on a post it note. The rest of us will patiently wait for our impending severance.

More leadership retirement or are they just getting axed? they dont even look old enough to be retiring

Great job Vz Board & Dan.

Great strategy... Great Execution.

Paying Dan $1M a month... do the right thing and resign.

Harvard Business Case already written howbto F-K up a once great company with DEI

From modest background, Arvind Krishna is the kind of immigrant success story people should actually talk about more. He came to the U.S., built his career through skill and discipline, and rose to become CEO of one of the most important technology companies in the world. No shortcuts, no noise—just execution. At a time when leadership gets questioned constantly, he’s focused on long-term strategy, AI innovation, and keeping IBM steady. That’s what real success looks like: earn it, build it, and lead with substance.

What are your thoughts on today's webcast?

For all those who use the word, what is the definition?

I ask because the spirit of your callout is just, but you further yourself as an id--t and follower (entertaining) by consistently demonstrating you don't know the definition nor have a desire to seek it and the accurate term for what you describe.

Welcome home, Artemis II.

Watching these astronauts travel more than 252,000 miles and return safely to Earth is a powerful reminder of what humans can achieve when we push beyond what’s known.

I’m proud of the role AT&T and FirstNet, Built with AT&T played—supporting NASA and helping keep teams and crew connected from launch through splashdown. When the connection matters, it has to be AT&T.

Congratulations to NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and welcome home to the crew. Your courage to go farther than any human has gone before inspires discovery, possibility, and the belief that when we aim higher, we can go farther—together.

Simply put: thank you.

Or has he not noticed those gems yet ?

The nightmare that is Google!

It is alarming when senior people are leaving TRP and they are leaving because the culture is dying. It started when they brought in Kimberly Johnson (COO) and it has gone progressively worse with leaders like Ramon Richards and Chris LePre. The culture has been replaced with what employees in Tech called the FNMA culture (which is where Kimberly and Ramon have come from). These leaders have no regard for associates and have brought in a culture of divisiness and toxicity. Associates are fearful of losing their jobs and so do not bring up concerns. Bringing up any concerns brands and tarnishes you as a naysayer by these leaders with fragile egos. What is concerning is that the most senior leaders at TRP are aware of this toxic culture but have done nothing about it, most likely because everyone is just too worried about negative outflows. What they need to realize is that if they don't fix the culture (and soon) they will continue to lose talent and the ship will continue to sink and by then it will be too late. There needs to be leadership changes in order to fix this issue.

Another slump in the stock price and another downgrade. I’d ask when will the BoD see the light that this dude is clueless and asleep at the wheel. However, we all know they are complacent!

Nonetheless, given we are now market based, the market clearly has no faith in the company and thus the !diot at the top REALLY needs to be the very next person laid off!

Agonizing listening to new CIO talk about every minute job history, signing his temporary lease, how to say his last name, where Wales is located?????

Ole SB got $2.2m severance paid out equally over 24 months, plus cash cash ABP bonus and family healthcare for the 24 months. Not too shabby for running a company in the ground.

Good governance says companies need an independent Chairman of the Board to keep the leadership accountable.

Bank leaders are all in San Antonio this week for strategy sessions. Could be a good or bad thing…anyone have insights?

I’ve never seen a company that is so top heavy. And notice how every VP is always in the same meetings with other VPs. What decision autonomy you have when everyone is in everyone’s business always.

There are meetings in random cities all over the world that everyone flocks to. And these “strategy sessions” do not drive anything other than poor decisions which require future pivots (and more Strat sessions).

What is going on with Honeywell?

i got cut by oracle in 2018... it was the textboo way to do it... there were rumors of layoffs for a few weeks (then a one to one with my manager)!

a month’s notice, time for handover meetings, plus sh-t trainings for finding a new job or setting up as a consultant. there was also the option of a redundancy pool, along with 6 months of redundancy pay. about 3K of us were cut at that time.

now it seems like when it’s 30K, oracle threw all that good practice out the window and told everyone to f off via email overnight, with all access immediately revoked.

i guess clay magouyrk is a sh-----d who models himself on the musk school of management, whatever that means. safra katz seemed like a decent person who had helped rehabilitate oracle’s corporate reputation to an extant (i have reservations abouth her too) only for it to go down the sh-t-drain again.

Since internal feedback is gone head to glass door and leave your feedback for the leadership to read. They do read all this out here!

When will grandpa Dan be replaced? Will the board pick a European, or Indian to lead lil red?

Who the FK hired JW into Nike? Classic do-nothing consultant who only got the gig because another all-talk-no-substance “leader” (shoutout CG) got promoted. We are so fing tired of working for him.

He has delivered exactly jack sh-t in NAO, and now he struts around like he’s the godda-n CEO while contributing the productivity of a houseplant. EM needs to stop playing nice and just fire his useless a-s already.

Kyndryl has become top heavy. Each week, some new executive joins to “transform” and bring “thought leadership” while laying off highly technical hands on keyboard skills.

Came here to check for layoff updates, ran into this post. Bumping it up for visibility.

"Do more with less" and "we're all in this together." I don't want to hear any pep talk. None of us are here to clean up leadership's mess, only to be dismissed with a generic email. I'm staying until they show me the door. For now, it's about what I take from this job, not what they squeeze out of me.

There is a significant concern across the teams regarding the lack of bottom-up input in this new structure. From the conversations I’m having, there is near-zero buy-in because the workload and structure don't seem to reflect our operational reality. How does leadership plan to address the fact that the people expected to execute this plan believe it is fundamentally set up for failure?

Who is hiring these unqualified window dressing only store managers?
This is becoming a serious problem at Belk.

Is Mr. "Everything's Computer!" really just that much smarter than all the Intel PhD's, MBA's and "Rockstars" combined? These so called businessmen were all scrapping Intel for parts when Trump basically handed them their as--s and said "You are going to make computer chips like you are supposed to or go to jail." Now Intel is at ATH in less than a year. I guess he really is a VERY STABLE GENIUS and everyone one working at Intel owes him a giant debt of gratitude.

Educated at Ivy League universities vs no-name college

Worked at prestigious organizations like Bain, Paypal, Service now vs Nike only experience ( that too which he got by literally begging for it)

$170 share price and $52 billion revenue vs comedy that we are seeing now

Has PHK made a mistake by replacing a highly educated, intelligent leader with Shoe salesman? The results are for everyone to see, even if JD continued I am sure that share prices wouldn't have dipped this low.

I am not saying JD would have been the best person to continue on the job, but he would be as aweful as EH. EH got free hand in literally replacing JD's handpicked team, and all the freedom to reshape company's strategy but the outcomes have been the worst.

What do you guys think, how much time does EH have before he is shown the door?

GK’s brand reputation clearly stands for doing what’s best for the stock and not for the employees.
It’s time to show her again, like we did after the first townhall, that we do have a say.
Go on Glassdoor, indeed, etc. and tell those looking for work at USB that this place su-ks and she, along with her MC, are a bunch of knuckleheads with no care for the employees.

Ask the tough questions on the townhall. Vote up the questions about trust, transparency and lack of care for employees. Call out the head of HR for being such a terrible leader and policy maker and reach out to your local news and let them know about this last RTO mess they created.

I’ve been in R&D long enough to think I’d seen every organizational oddity, but lately I look at my reporting chain and just… sigh. I’m a Principal Engineer, the most technical person on my team, and yet there are seven layers of management between me and the top. Seven. At this point it feels like performance art.

And the part that blows my mind? We’re a software company. We really only need three groups to function: developers who ship code, sales/AEs who bring in revenue, and top leadership who set direction. Everything else should be supporting those three — not ballooning into a management ecosystem that needs its own food chain.
