#reorg

Who replaces MKW? Obvious choice right now is EB

Upstream CN? BK, RB?
CFO EB -> JG
Downstream AW?
Subsurface JK?
Wells JS?

Turnaround, Capital Projects, FE movements probably not from retirements as those guys are pretty young still

MN and ES roles probably just go away and save the company millions

FIS is going through another realignment, and based on the company’s recent financial guidance and continued focus on reducing costs, It is estimate there’s about a 65–75% chance that another round of layoffs will follow.That doesn’t necessarily mean a massive company-wide layoff. It’s more likely to be targeted at areas affected by reorganizations, product consolidation, automation, and cost reductions. For employees, the biggest question is whether your role or product is being consolidated, automated, moved, or eliminated. If your expertise is critical to keeping an important product or process operating, that can actually make your position more valuable during a restructuring.

Re-org after re-org. New processes that are more complicated than the old ones. We can't move forward because we're too busy moving sideways. Nothing ever gets better, nothing gets simpler. Just endless sideways shuffling.

With all the recent reports my manager now reports to India and there is a written public goal that our job is to build capability in Bangalore. How long until they fire my group? Anyone else experiencing similar changes?

I am seeing RDA (Reporting,Data and Analytics) emails all around. Are they planning to consolidate all reporting teams under one leadership?

Will there be reorgs or layoffs due to that? Anyone see it coming soon in few weeks or months or later?

Whenever they bring something new, it is mostly brought as cost effective, consolidation and eventually layoffs.

What’s the latest on the MAC Services department in St. Louis? Is headcount growing or falling?

When I was a kid, my friends wanted to be race car drivers, astronauts, or doctors when they grew up. But I always wanted to be something like a Senior Specialist in MAC Services. Angling to get in on this department at some point, if it’s not too late, and hoping for some updates on reorgs, cuts, etc. Thanks for any info!

Who’s heard what?

Yup another one..🤣

20% cuts in product and tech, will the admin functions get a worse round? Typical industry layoffs cut admin workers twice as much as ops. Are we looking at a major reorg for everyone outside sales/prod/tech in Q1 FY27?

I was hoping someone reading this post could give us an update on the upcoming reorganization. Specifically the timeline, departments impacted, and how deep it will cut.

Stuff was happening today. Any reports on where the impact was?

I have been hearing rumors that TPD may be completely dissolved and merged into VCG, GTS, and VBG. Does anyone have any insights on whether this is accurate? If so, what is the expected impact on the current leadership team?

is reorg done?

Heard through the grapevine that there is going to be some kind of announcement in September regarding a reorg. Anyone have any more details?

Overworked teams, siloed decision making, two inept VPs. When will things change? These changes post re-org have made everyone feel miserable and the work has suffered.

No announcements of layoffs during earnings call. Maybe Chuck post some internally, please share here. Any other LR or reorg news?

Need some advice from other folks on the board... my brother in law really wants to join cisco ... he thinks it would be a great move now. he has 10 years of experience as a developer (multiple stacks) in two F500 companies... He's been pushing me to help set him up with an interview...

problem is i'm prety jaded at this point. after so many layoffs, long hours, constant reorganizations... and general dysfunction, i don't exactly have a glowing view of the place anymore. i also don't want to dump all my frustration on him or make it sound like i'm trying to ki-l an opportunity he's excited about.

if someone you were close to wanted to join cisco right now, what would you tell them? ??? what are the biggest things you'd make sure they understood before interviewing or accepting an offer? trying to give him a fair picture without turning it into my personal rant.

I heard Aug 18 for the layoffs in the US (a little birdie told me). Reorg shortly after.

Just found out the upcoming Sept 15 layoff list for our team is being decided by the part-time, remote people manager after the recent reorg.

It just proves how toxic and out-of-touch leadership has become. This company has completely deteriorated and lost its way. Honestly, getting laid off might be a blessing in disguise at this point. It’s time to say goodbye to this place. Good luck to everyone on the 15th.

Ever since I have been here there have been constant re-orgs, executives either shifting around or departing the company, budget cuts, unreasonable financial objectives, and (seemingly) high turnover. Everything kinda seems backwards and counterintuitive.

Is this normal at every company within every industry? Is this just typical corporate maneuvering? I have only ever known LHX.

U of P today announced possible reorg and layoffs soon. It has started by offering early leave package opportunities for some employees but says they are not clear that they will approve their applications. If not enough volunteers to leave they will then need to layoff. Their HR webpage was impacted due to employees trying to research benefit packages ---- so would seem many employees must have received the offer.

No clear info yet; more info coming next week.

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.

Heard a couple of mgrs. mention in meetings this week that changes are coming to those that roll up to BB and AI (IYKYK who they are) tech directors. Of course, no details.
I'm speculating more layoffs and reorgs? anyone else hear this and/or have intel?

Lately some movement of people that are senior and Director and above level under a program manager is to save their own job or to let them go? Tr.. sh!!! check the changes

What’s the status of the re-org?

This will be the biggest reduction and change to staff at this site.

Will be interesting to see it play out.

Plenty fat. Top Heavy job roles

As someone in early career, I’m finding it really difficult to make any headway in growing. I’m on a team that doesn’t really teach me or train me and is far from what I’m wanting to do with my career, yet all leads (stretch assignments, internal transfers) have been shut down. After the reorgs, we lost half our team but are expected to do the same amount of work, and I can sense everyone burning out.

How can I get out? The early career market right now is so bad I’m unable to get even an online assessment or interview from any of my applications. And since Nike is my only real experience, I’m not sure if recruiters view it as a good thing

Any new organizational updates from PI?

Another 10% is leaving on top of all the layoffs this year already. Any word on additional RIF?

A couple ppl have been able to move their VSP date which seems crazy. We were told Dec 11 but several have now moved to 9/4.

Some new teams have already been formed while some remain untouched with no new direction. Are we sitting ducks? Our leaders are leaving and we aren’t being told anything.

Anyone else here being told anything at all?

Also KT suing Centene? And naming KC?

The new CMO has been in office over 100 days now and I have heard a rumor or 2 that a re org in coming. Anyone else heard this or is it just an “every new leader does this so he will do it too” type of rumor?

Started earlier this morning but VP, AVP, Sir Dir movement in Workday underway now.

I don't expect Associate Directors and Local Managers to be fully moved until later week(s) but we'll see.

Not think about layoffs, reorgs, VSPs, etc.? Good times.

There's a certain sadness in watching a company that once meant something turn into a shell of itself. All the potential, all the bright ideas, all the people who cared...it's all being wasted. Every reorg, every layoff, every bad decision chips away at whatever is left. I find myself mourning the place it used to be, even as I sit here watching it disappear.

I’m not sure why they think continually moving teams around is helpful- I guess any action is better than inaction. It’s just musical chairs at this point.

Email went out announcing that the AVP for Wireless Supply Chain will transition to the N&T Fiber team in September.

I wonder what the next few weeks of shuffling and reorgs will look like.

I heard it’s this week but I haven’t received anything yet. The suspense is ki-ling me.

Does anyone have any insight on how they have handled previous reorgs? Do they assign you to a new role? Are you given options? Do you have to reapply? Is it simply this is your new position starting this date or you can leave?

What happens if you don’t take it? Is it a laid off situation or voluntarily quit?

I’m hearing this is happening in some pockets of the organization.

In the last 15+ years, we've had two incompetent CEOs, countless reorgs, several acquisitions where we bought for premium prices and sold for cheap, and a complete erosion of culture. I think the rot is so deep at this point that any new leadership would need a miracle, not a strategy to fix this mess.
