More OMCL stupidity

OMCL had a massive hand in ruining my career momentum (RIF'd in 2023). They're doing it again, again with another round of reorg ridiculousness complete with job eliminations and whatever else. All because of greed, short-sighted, barely competent management. Randy and enablers sure are some of the luckiest MFers, of course I'm envious of their personal balance sheets.


Corporates is Plummeting the Stock Price

Lots of talk on here how LCM is to blame for messing up Corporates, but anyone take a look at the Head of Customer Success, GW?

Not only is this guy one of the most selfish, self involved leaders I have ever seen, he is responsible for offshoring renewals to Mexico City and wasting thousands in failed software initiatives. Thomson Reuters still hasn't billed thousands in renewals, thanks to this guys decision to reorg.

The running joke around the CSM org is he just have dirt on the high ups....

For a guy that singhandledly tanked Gainsight and has never met with a customer, in any other org a "leader" like this would be fired. Thanks for wasting an entire year of work with no backup plan.

If the stockholders only knew how bad recurring revenue is in corporate due to bad decisons they would be horrified.


Are salaries heading down?

In the reorg last year every colleague that was not on the Standard pay scale had there job posted at a lower level. Essentially getting your same job back now has you maxed out on pay in the same Grade. Has there actually been any type of an overall pay scale increase besides the meager merit raises which have been taken away from most individuals?


I just can't be bothered anymore

Reorgs, layoffs, shuffling people around, ignoring bad management but punishing talent, directionlessness, maintenance/decay mode - all of it has made me completely uninterested in the future of Nike, and definitely in my job. I just can't care anymore. If someone had told me eight years ago when I came on board that this would turn into a "just collect a paycheck" thing, I wouldn't have believed them. It's actually sad.


New Updated Intelligence On Walmart Layoffs

We don’t expect large wholesale layoffs before EOY (Jan 31st). Q4 is going fine, holiday event went fine and previous layoffs achieved the expense reduction plan. Therefore, we think everyone can rest easy for awhile.

However, there’s a trifecta of conditions that create concerns for the May (and beyond) time frame:

Leadership is changing and focus from the CEO perspective will likely be to stop the project and dollar bleed from languishing projects and project now out of favor.

Tech leadership is in the target zone to change from service provider to business partner, and when that spotlight shines, discovery of money pit projects will surface. Many will be scrapped along with the tech staff on them.

Focus on evaluating AI efforts will continue and sone projects will be cancelled and new ones will appear. That could add to staff reductions.

Expect to see reorganization efforts to more closely align with business goals. Reorganized always create excess staff, so take that into account.

The next 6-8 weeks will prove to be consequential for those in peril of low performance and the typical calibration type meetings will displace those that are unpopular for one reason or another.

It’ll be May before actions are apparent on new leaders, new goals and new projects actual staffing.

We still think transportation, distribution centers and stores will fare fine in 2026. The risk is primarily in tech, we believe


Every reorg, without fail, leads to worse outcomes

I have yet to experience a reorg or set of cuts that actually resulted in leaner, more efficient teams. The bloat always seems to stay, critical roles disappear as a rule, and the workload ends up being distributed in ways that make even less sense. If they are planning a major reorg now, I dread what things will look like on the other side of it.


Info on reorgs?

I know it can be a stressful time with all the changes happening with Medicare and Medicaid at the end of the month. I've been hearing some concerns about potential reorganizations, and I understand how unsettling that can be. If anyone has any insights on which areas might be affected and when, it would be really helpful to share that information. We're all in this together, and any guidance would be appreciated.


Layoffs in the US

From an article Titled:

"2026 begins with a wave of big-company layoffs"

Large employers are increasingly abandoning the old model of one big layoff in favor of repeated, narrower rounds that keep investors satisfied while leaving employees in a state of chronic uncertainty. I see this shift most clearly in the way Some major firms now talk about "reorienting" or "moving in a new direction," language that masks a strategy of trimming headcount quarter after quarter instead of taking the reputational hit of a single mass cut....

The early 2026 layoff wave is not just a tech story, it is also a tale of heavy industry, energy, and supply chains under pressure. Dec reporting on recent company layoffs shows how Chevron, one of the world's largest energy producers, is slashing up to 20% of its global head count as part of a sweeping restructuring, a move that illustrates how Oil and gas firms are using the current moment to reset their cost base. That same roundup of corporate cuts details how Dec has become a kind of annual reckoning point, with a "Layoffs List" that now includes Chevron alongside telecoms, automakers, and tech giants in a single ledger of recent company layoffs.


Castrol's partial sell

I see that the new chair and interim CEO align well with BP's legacy of stupid decisions, which are communicated in the worst possible manner.

I wonder why do they hate the employees so much? To drop such news on Christmas Eve - they have no shame.

For Castrol's employees that only brings more uncertainty. Had we stayed with BP - we would know what's coming. Had they sold us 100% - we would know what's coming, just ask Chat GPT about the previous acquisitions, and you can resonably deduce what might happen.

But this partial sell/joint venture? What a f... mess. It's gonna be organizational nightmare. And yet another reorg and structural changes for Castrol's employees.

(To any members of LT that might be reading this: HONESTLY, WE JUST WANNA DO OUR JOBS AND GET PAID FOR IT. JUST LEAVE US ALONE - 6 YEARS OF CONSTANT STUPID CHANGES IS ENOUGH - AND LET US DO OUR JOBS)

I would bet my yearly salary that in years to follow this will be regarded as yet another failure.

Just look at how the market reacted. ZERO movement. the price after announcement is exactly the same as it was before.


This year was exceptionally depressing

I was among the lucky few who actually had a great team. A few a--holes here and there, but otherwise solid, reliable colleagues. Somehow, we managed to overcome management’s shortcomings, make our tasks easier, and even have fun, or at least feel a sense of accomplishment. Yes, it was a cosmic accident, but it happened. I actually liked my work because of it.

Then the reorg came and destroyed the team. A few exceptionally competent and experienced teammates were let go, some were reassigned, and now my team is hollow and definitely less efficient and productive. The inability to recognize an excellent team says everything you need to know about leadership and management. I can only imagine the end result of reorg.


Elliot group

Please come talk to me. I’ve read your assessment and you were spot on. Amazing that someone from the outside could be that accurate of the needs of a company revitalizing. #1 opportunity was franchise and you were 💯% correct and to settle for anything else is a true loss. Didn’t think it was in your nature to lose! It’s not too late. Huge investment on the line, I would ether pull out or get what you came for$$$$$.


Toxic reorg!

Worst reorg ever!
2 weeks in and no all clear, no conference calls letting you know what's happening. 4 cryptic emails that made about as much sense as Athina getting promoted. No maps of the new structure, just some covert calls letting some people see the details, HR controlling the invitee list. The names of those we lost trickle out slowly usually by a full mailbox on Outlook or an extended vacation status. No relief to the stress caused by uncertainty, rumors already flying about Februarys next slash job. Dead weight is still employed good people let go a dozen days before Christmas! Lopsided top tier brass still clueless, off shoring still in play, cr-ppy raise and bonus is your reward for another year of trying to stay afloat!


Maybe if they promoted people who actually deserved it

none of this would have happened in the first place. I’ve been here for more than ten years, and every round of cuts, reorgs, or leadership changes I’ve witnessed has been about shedding competence while retaining or promoting failure. There have been exceptions, but they are so rare they only prove the rule. When that’s how decisions are made all the way to the top, even major bloodletting is not going to produce the outcomes leadership desires.
