With the knowledge I have about how this place operates, I am pi---d as a taxpayer. How about you?

Will Certified Centers/Refurb for PepsiCo switch to 3pl like a lot of other warehouses in the US? All refurb operations in Turkey were taken over by a 3pl based out of France and will be responsible for 20k coolers annually. Just wondering if Certified Centers will fall into the 3pl run side of things. Lots of weird movements at our certified center since the Elliot Investments.

Wholesale logistics firm Essendant is closing several operations across the country. This includes a distribution center in Sacramento, California. The closure will result in the loss of 99 jobs.

Customers are not getting answers for weeks and months,
Issues not resolved and accumulating.
They thought Ai will resolve all issues for them and replace staff.
The remaining teams are understaffed.

Just saw in YouTube the lan

Anyone know when the second GCC is scheduled to be operational? I believe it is in Hyderabad and fully owned by the bank. Indian news media had it a few months ago.

Been hearing rumors of prod ops taking over and running the plants. Who has heard this?

Anyone from Pharmacy Operations/ Prior Authorizations being let go?

Merging Sales Ops, Dev PMO, Renewals Ops, PS Ops (x2), Revenue Ops, and PMO into one org is textbook eliminate redundant layers. We should all be watching for follow-on layoffs in 60-90 days, consistent with the pattern we’ve been seeing since Mark B left.

Where I work the L and D “leaders”at HQ messed up our operations training so badly that Operations had to take operations training back from HQ. Now the training is almost as good as it was prior to 2023.
This is just one example of how Malformation has been a total flop.

Hello, I'm currently on parental leave and will be returning to office in SLC (operations role) on August 3rd. It sounds like there are layoffs set to occur the day I return. Now, this isn't something I would normally even consider - but my grandmother did in fact pass away while on leave, so I could technically apply for bereavement leave for the day of layoffs (yes I know this won't save me forever, but hey, why not get an extra two weeks of pay).

1. I don't know for sure if I will be one of the ones cut on August 4th, but I know I have ~1 year at most due to the location strategy.

2. Yes, I can in fact provide proof of my grandmother's passing as I am a direct inheritor of her (very small) estate.

Just curious to see what everyone thinks about this idea.

It sounds like everything is out now.

We sold a significant amount of doors to the agents... The good news is, those employees will have a job. I’m told we’re keeping a thousand corporate doors and that my team and I are safe for at least 3 years, do we trust that? Looks like operations took a significant hit, who is going to do that work?

Overall, I feel lucky, but feel awful for anyone who is impacted.

Layoffs in operations business banking. Processes being sent offshore to India. Curious if the end goal is to send all of operations there eventually.

A significant fire at its Grand Rapids warehouse has forced Notions Marketing to cancel all orders and lay off approximately 200 employees. The accidental blaze, believed to be caused by an internal electrical failure following a power surge, has rendered the main facility unusable. Operations were crippled, with significant inventory also contaminated by smoke. The company stated there is no clear timeline for resuming safe operations at the damaged site. This permanent mass layoff affects a substantial portion of their workforce.

BNSF utilizing drones to track worker performance and efficiency, while operations testing as a secondary measure…. “In the event a violation of company policy or safety violation is viewed” during the process of rail and equipment inspections in yard and mechanical facilities.

ExxonMobil is aggressively expanding BTC by leasing more office space for technology, engineering, digital, and strategic business functions. Everything is slowly moving to India.

You hear me
This may look vague right now, but if we don’t act, the company could fully shift major operations there and even redomicile in India within the next 25 years.
This is what the organization is doing to us. This is our future!!!!

is there anymore US based technology at TransUnion. Nothing gets done. GCC doesn't do anything. We used to have support and now nothing. How is this business going to survive if nothing is moving.

So, anyone think Oxy’s Oman business is at risk because Oman is getting closer to Iran.

Do we have any other operations in Canada now?

Were there any layoffs in operations/configs? Are they even ever going to hire on new contractors? I've known contractors that have been here for 2-3 years.....

How has this worked in your store? We have dock people who are M-F but no fulfillment that are M-F. Have people changed their schedules to accommodate fulfillment requirements?
My store is under $20M

Any details on move of fraud strategy over to ops? Layoffs? Consolidations? Climate in ops?

So Lending Operations for USBank USA is moving to USBank India.
part of many layoff in the future as USBank India has capacity for 40,000 employees.

Also of note was the reason why we are now USBank India is because we are global corporation and we work with people-le across the world

So how does this fit in with RTO and collaboration with co workers in office if everyone is in India and sleeping while we are working?

Word on the street is that CVS is potentially getting rid of the operations manager position, and making people go up to Store manager or down to shift supervisor. Can anyone confirm if this is true?

Are these guys tone deaf??? They just sent an email with USBank India and how this new guy they hired will make USBank India great again.

So those of us on Operations are all going to to lose 0ur job to USBank India and they send this email out about how great this new guy is shipping all jobs to India and Philippine

Anyone know the plan for VCG Ops? Based on some reorg emails it seems like retail and CS OPS have been officially combined under the same umbrella creating even more redundencies or were taking a second stab at OPOO

Centralized all sorts of operations and more layoffs across Interior Division

The Wall Street Journal evaluates how leading US corps stack up in 6 areas: AI readiness, innovation, talent readiness, financial fitness, resilience and agility.

Verizon ranks #149 overall with an Overall Score of 54.5, which places it above the median but not in the leadership tier. Its strongest dimensions are AI Rank #26 and Resilience Rank #48, a combination that says the company is being credited for technology readiness and durability. In the telecom group, Verizon sits 2nd out of 3 listed companies, behind T-Mobile but well ahead of AT&T.

The problem is operating speed. Verizon’s Agility Rank is #447, one of the weakest in the dataset, and Innovation is only #250. The strategic read is that Verizon screens as a resilient, AI-aware incumbent, but not as a company that is structurally fast-moving. That matters because telecom is moving toward network automation, edge compute, enterprise connectivity, and AI-enabled service models, where organizational velocity will increasingly separate winners from regulated-utility-like carriers.

I’m hearing that across the US. Many midsized customers will go warehouse in October. What’s the word out there?

FanDuel recently laid off several hundred employees. This move impacts a few hundred people from its 5,000 total workforce. The company stated these changes strengthen its long-term strategy. Affected departments include business development, operations, and engineering. These layoffs follow previous workforce reductions and industry trends.

Any insight on what's cooking?

Pretty clear that there is no need for Project Managers anymore, and that they are rapidly phased out, together with the Portfolio Manager level of directors.

Feels like the operations side will be on the front burner, with focus on finding areas that can be made more efficient (i.e., layoffs).

I don’t understand why we own ships and have such a large maritime presence/teams? Seems like a ripe area for ENGINE or simply rent ships from someone else. I can’t imagine we operate ships less expensive than the open market!

Monday June 2nd. Everyone at the Tempe site under CCB Any thoughts?

global engineering and operations all hands tomorrow

Wonder what we can expect to hear

How much more do you think the company will shut down with GTP coming online?

Any Omni/operations leads finding themselves being the mod more than STL's?

UPS closed the midnight shift at its 43rd Street hub in Manhattan. This action is part of the company's "Network of the Future" restructuring drive. Workers faced job elimination or difficult split-shift arrangements. UPS has eliminated 48,000 jobs since 2024 and plans further cuts. The company aims to reduce labor costs and increase profit margins.
