So apparently, throwing darts are the new operating model. Town hall highlight of the year: Head of IT + CFO confidently announce that “No other companies have figured out AI governance… but we will.”

The silence afterward? You could hear a budget being cut in real time. This is coming from leadership that still treats basic project tracking like it’s emerging technology. But wait, it gets better.
Our fearless IT leader sends the brand-new “Head of Data” out of the country to “vet options” we aren’t even authorized to implement. Bold strategy.

Minor detail: this individual’s experience in data and technology appears to be limited to creatively rearranging LinkedIn buzzwords. If résumé fiction were a programming language, we’d finally have expertise. Because promoting someone with no clue in the space worked out so well last time… why not run it back? Now the plot twist: they’re stuck abroad due to regional conflicts and travel disruptions. You truly cannot script this level of tragic corporate comedy. We can’t align on reporting standards, but we’re about to solve global AI governance. Sure.

Next town hall prediction:
“We’ve decided to skip governance and move straight to vibes.”

Leadership is clearly not up to the task to turn this company around. Stock got a bump but regressed, NA volumes aren't working even with PPA investment and acquisitions, and we're getting the shaft with low team score and merit raises. At what point do we collectively say we aren't going to work to execute shoddy decisions that cost us money?

Indiana has a new CEO. Worried?

Get back in the office for collaboration better results. Head of US business segment, ELT member that doesn’t apply to you. You can live in a different country.

I’ve just completed my PDR review, and my manager mentioned that I need to increase my visibility with the SLT. This feedback seems to come up almost every year. It makes me wonder whether the issue is really about my visibility, or if there’s a lack of clarity or alignment in how SLT evaluates contributions.

Whelp, there it is. Cordani just announced his retirement. Will Evanko turn things around? Please, no more rebranding.

Like we all didn't see that coming.....

New CEO Brian Evanko......do mass layoffs then retire ..

This concern is to address ongoing situations regarding the handling of confidential information within lower management on the Central Review Team.

It has come to everyone’s attention that confidential employee matters and sensitive information are being discussed or shared with individuals (the su-k ups) who do not have a legitimate business need to know. This behavior raises serious concerns about privacy, professionalism, and adherence to company standards.

Maintaining confidentiality is not optional it is a fundamental expectation in any professional workplace. When management personnel share private information inappropriately, it undermines trust, damages team morale, and creates an uncomfortable work environment for employees who expect discretion and integrity from leadership.

Beyond being unprofessional, this conduct may place both employees and the organization at risk. Leaders are expected to model ethical behavior, protect sensitive information, and ensure discussions about employee matters remain limited to appropriate and authorized individuals.

Manufacturing PMIs in Europe start expanding and workforce is being cut - great move Wi--y...
Who could have thought that a former retiree CEO only has short term interest in the stock price/his options package and a majority external sourced execs board just bows - great vision for our 3M !

Don’t you find it amusing how long Naga writes his weekly novels? Who reads that stuff anyhow?

Anyone concerned that the ELT is making decisions that are self serving and make no sense? Product is a calamity, decisions are absurd, and we need someone who has run a company beyond middle grade project.

It's a serious questions. I am curious what the board thinks. I think we lost every incentive to innovate and we also see what's going on the exec level, so why bother.

tgs seems to have too many ineffective people. they hire and promote friends and family, then outsource most of the work. when things are not delivered, they blame the outsourcing partner insted of taking responsiblity. some vps show very low maturity. we need to remove those vps and the cio... and focus on skill based hiring.

What happened to the Wellmed IT leadership, did they all go back to Optum? I was laid off from Wellmed two months ago and I am happy to be moving on. The WM leadership face planted that business in to the ground!

Well they did it, kicked out Br**ke.

What’s behind it or always the plan to go in ‘26?

Delgado-Jenkins’ retirement continues a flurry of executive exits from 7-Eleven since the end of 2025, including DePinto, Harris and former chief marketing officer Marissa Jarratt. The leadership shakeups come in a year that promises seismic change for 7-Eleven, including a planned initial public offering in North America.

Want effiency in corp risk? Keep the workers, get rid of 75% of the managing directors. Most are just su-king time, doing as little as possible until retirement, causing inordinate amounts of unnecessary paperwork.

Whomever has up to date information, spill it. You are doing a service to your colleagues who are all in this together. Those who have been kind enough in leadership positions to share have helped tremendously. Don't gatekeep if you know something. This is the power that employees have...

Is JR scared of the real questions or does she think we are d-mb enough to put our names down? Skip it and remain anonymous.

Work harder, no merit, no bonuses. Not to worry though, Chief Clown Steve and the band of merry pirates continue to raid the cupboards for any and all $$ they can pull out

There are senior leadership firings that are not making sense. Talented people that go above and beyond with a lot of seniority or experience. They must be getting fired bc they just earn more. This is another huge blow to morale, why would I want to move up in a company like that?

Executive level leadership is woefully unqualified and terrible messaging.

Ken is out and Ken is in as CFO.

Mike you can blame Frank all you want but $62 is on you buddy! You were a rookie who was unprepared and you destroyed $100B in Market Cap! Congratulations on holding the that record, surely puts you in the top 5 of worst CEOs ever! By the way why is Chris Foskett still here riding around on the jet! The guy does nothing. What big account has he brought on in three years. As Revenue head he has lost a ton of business in last two years.

Donna Hart left Ally in January and she was CIO over IPRM. Now Satish is leaving CIO over Tech. What are your thoughts?

Writing my “ambitious” goals this past week had me feeling 1000% unqualified and diminished in my job. Like they are asking us to figure out how to make an 8 day work week.
Which got me thinking, how many medical LOAs do you think the bank will see this year? Mental health reasons? I have to believe this number will rise this year based on the mental health downfall many are feeling from all of the impossible pressure. And if that number does in fact rise, what does it take for someone to take notice and take action? (And I don’t mean internal leadership.) I mean an external intervention. Does anyone watch those sorts of claims against a company?

I just talked to TMobile about switching and they were less than what I am paying at Verizon even after the employee discount and they are giving away new phones and they have a 2 year upgrade pipeline. Verizon's network coverage seems to have gone to sh-t.

I don't think even Dan the Hatchet Man can save this sinking ship.

Because of pressure from the US administration, SAP stopped most DEI programs in 2025. And now, two. Executive Board members will “step down” or “not renew contracts”.

Gina is a woman and was compassionate towards trans employees so she’s gone. We will not see a female executive board member for a long long time.

Alam is a person of color and not a Christian. He is gone as well. We will not see a person of color or a non-Christian in the executive board anytime soon.

In any case, LGBT members never make it to important positions within SAP so we won’t see them in the executive board either.

They needed Gina only to bring performance management and destroy most of the employee benefits. And they needed Alam to initiate multiple reorganizations after Juergen Müller was given the boot.

What changes do you think will happen in teams now? Will they only consider white Christian males for leadership roles from now on? And what about LGBT employees? Is SAP starting a program to remove all migrant employees in Germany? The demands from the US administration are pretty straightforward and the SAP board has done nothing but comply.

No one's even pretending to steer anymore. Just managed decline, slow and steady. Layoffs forever, now reaching offshore too. There's hardly any core left, both among employees and leadership, that could pull off a turnaround, if that was ever the plan. Am I off base here?

I feel like there isn’t any real insider knowledge on this page, but let’s give a go. Anyone know what the tour in first week of April will be for? With everything going on, I believe it’s potentially to bring in a new business.

I’d pay to see leadership try handling this workload for even a few weeks.

Real question. Realistic answers please. Would we be better off? Would chaos ensue? Could the Dir level successfully form a coalition and get $hit done?

Ford is a shadow of its former self. Sure, maybe a few areas are okay, but overall it's been a decade-long decline. If you're young and have skills, go somewhere that actually values you. Unless leadership completely changes, which won't happen, it's just more cuts from here.

Remind me, how much did we pay for it and how much did we sell it for? Just another proof Stankey is an id--t with no business sense.

Can anybody even remember when that happened?

Any guesses?
