tell me what they are doing

Who is prioritizing work these days? They want everything done but do not have any worker bees to do it. Super young people being assigned to roles they have no experience in. Total sh-t show.

What are PepsiCo’s plans for the current TSR position if the beverage and snack businesses eventually combine their frontline sales teams?

Meetings already happening with Cognizant. Leadership are tight lipped since their roles are limited too. The goal is to show them the ropes so they can take over....

If you’re considering a role on the Markets side, know what you’re walking into. The culture there isn’t just competitive, it’s dog-eat-dog, and it’s shaped by leadership that’s more interested in protecting itself than developing people. Too many of the “managers” running these teams are underqualified for the seats they hold, and they’ve built environments that reward toxicity because toxicity is what got them there.

Loyalty and tenure mean nothing. Years of contribution mean nothing. If you value a workplace with real accountability from the top down, look elsewhere.

If you aren’t given the right role you will never get the ranking you want. What matters is visibility and perception not actual merit.

Any information with TCA roles?

If your role at Teradata was eliminated and you still insist you were ‘high performing,’ the numbers are laughing at you. Companies do not cut the people who are actually driving the growth they care about.
Cloud ARR keeps climbing (8–9% last quarter, double-digit earlier) and now makes up roughly 45% of total ARR. Margins are expanding sharply, EPS and free-cash-flow guidance just got raised, and the company is pouring resources into agentic AI, the Autonomous Knowledge Platform, hybrid deployments, and AI Factory for regulated customers. Recurring revenue is growing while they deliberately tighten the cost structure and headcount.
The roles that were not essential to that cloud-plus-AI, higher-margin direction were the ones that got removed. That is not bad luck or politics. That is the company showing you, in clear financial terms, exactly how little your contribution was worth to the future they are building.

Word is that frontier copper and fiber splicers will have to transition to the one tech out role “ Combo Technician” 1/27

Curious like how do you get in this category? What do you have to do in your role to deserve OWD?

They are actively happening. They are steering non client-facing people into client facing roles. They need people to work in the branches. Right now it’s a gentle nudge. Next year, it’s going to be far more aggressive with additional role eliminations.

Lambert leaving L3H was not a significant surprise. No need to dive deeper on that, we all know why.

Chris Melito is in now. Are we just checking boxes and filling roles? WTF!

Does the RTM have to be out on the field everyday ? Or only when ever there’s a call off or no coverage ?..i think a lot of rtms think they will be at home and only come out whenever there’s a call off

It’s been a long month, how is everyone doing in their new role, with no extra pay? Or did you get extra pay?

Where should the line be drawn between collaboration and unofficial leadership responsibilities?

If an individual contributor is consistently asked to train new team members, mentor offshore colleagues, transfer domain knowledge, and guide technical decisions without any formal recognition, title, is that considered a normal expectation of the role?

How do others handle this? Do you continue taking on these responsibilities, or do you set boundaries and ask for the role and expectations to be formalized first?

So today was when everyone was officially given notice if they got the position . So turns out the people who been here the Logan’s and didn’t take the package and applied for the rtm role were not offered the job. Big surprise . Instead the ones with less time with the company were the ones who received the position. Company is totally trying to get rid of the old timers with the big salaries. I believe once the company gets settled in they will
Also get rid of all the ones who got the position who clearly weren’t qualified since the beginning . It’s all a scheme to get rid of the old timers. Shady company

What are these "coach" roles that everyone seems to be having?

Looks new

I’m seeing a lot of healthcare roles at Cognizant on LI. A couple had app deadlines of 7/30! Please go look and apply if you’re looking! The salaries for the couple I looked at seemed within realm. This doesn’t help me but hoping someone can find a new opportunity!

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?

Apologize if this is insensitive.

Start date in mid-July. Talent and PL kind of wishy washy about impacts to my new role come September. I’m just gonna ride it out but feels surreal.

Anyone else starting soon and get any answers?

So, there’s a job posting that appears to match my role and responsibilities pretty closely. It’s a fairly specialized position, which has me wondering: does this mean our team may be on the RIF list and that we’ll need to apply for other roles?

I know our team has been under a hiring freeze, and we had layoffs last quarter, so seeing this posting makes me pretty nervous. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I’m also wondering if there’s a possibility they could eliminate our team and replace it with an on-site team in Eden Prairie.

Eliminate half of all VP roles. We should be fine without them. We will save millions to meet the cost savings target.

The department lead role feels poorly defined. Team leaders are still carrying most of the delivery pressure, people management, prioritization conversations, and stakeholder updates. Instead of shielding teams or helping resolve conflicts, the role sometimes feels like an added reporting layer between directors and the people actually doing the work.

So it begins!

35% - 40% reduction in force is what’s been being whispered in the halls.

Each team seems to be evaluating what to do based on role. I’m tired of waiting and want to plan my life. What rumors are you hearing?

How do you find out what level your position is?
I’ve seen posts saying N4 and below are getting laid off
I don’t know what “level” my role is. Is there a place in workday to see it?

One of the most parasitic creatures in fidelity is architects. Most of them are completely useless and talks rubbish in the calls. They are the biggest bottleneck to delivery. Why do we need these low calibre people?.Most of these people are from one nationality . Yesterday i was in a call with architect and when questioned he said he believes in some pattern so its good and the GCL ( another guy came to the role without any talent) agreed to that .
The frustration grows when observing the broader organizational structure. During layoffs, good individual contributors were let go while many SVPs and VPs remain, despite having no idea what fidelity is or what kind of projects their teams are working on. Similar to the architects described, many of these leaders are low calibre individuals who received promotions during the 2018-2022 timeframe. This accumulation of non-contributing roles creates significant obstacles to actual progress and delivery.

In what was once a somewhat protected role, we are now being told that the EA roles are now changing to a worldpay model. I’m fairly new to Global Payments and I’m worried about my job now. This place is toxic and creates anxiety for their employees. I work with a great bunch of admin gals (and some admins guys) but I’m feeling the anxiety of what others feel when they don’t know what’s to come.

They’re pulling folks straight out of sales teams in India and dropping them into maintenance and engineering gigs on site?
Latest one: Girl with 7 years in BTC sales just landed an electrical engineer role in BMT. And the announcements are full of these examples.
I’m genuinely disgusted and disappointed. When did “fit the role” stop mattering for jobs that keep operations safe and running?

This is pure abuse of L1/L2 visa. Someone should report this

What types of roles are based out of this office?

No doubt layoffs will happen. You can merge Yellow Shoes and The Hive and continue with redundant roles. D-mb move and just getting rid of more talent

Productivity is several times lower than competitors, employee morale has hit an all‑time low, revenue growth is far behind the rest of the industry, and customers are developing AI tools better than us.

If I were in his position, I would initiate a targeted layoff focused on non‑essential roles immediately, followed by a clear public commitment that no major workforce reductions will occur for the next one to two years. This would stabilize the organization, reduce uncertainty, and allow remaining employees to focus on execution rather than worrying about job security.

What is your thought?

Most every day, right, there's either a Sr Dir or AD role po$ted. RARELY do you see T3 - T5 postings in either Dig Product or Tech, right? Very few opportunies for promotions, right? I do reckon this company (right) doesn't have its priorities straight. The company should be hiring more of the people who are stressing in the trenches while trying to GSD in such a chaotic/'everything is the the top priority', so do it all' environment. It's becoming quite toxic and unsustainable. But...food truck day....right? Ain't it funny how so many people feel the need to include the word 'right' in every sentence? Or is it just me?

They opened a massive GCC offshore location in Chennai, India today. I heard from.Sr. VP that they are going to systematically start replacing American jobs with offshore starting starting next quarter as part of cost cutting. This company is doomed if executives think offshoring is the solution to all their problems.
My advise is start looking for other jobs while you are still ahead, especially if you are in IT/engineering roles, tech support and remote roles.

Is the role change only for higher level positions. ?
How about the dev team and testing QA team. Even there is a role change for them..

Has anyone been told or heard anything about changes to CXM or MBA roles? Hearing something about a possible “change in responsibilities” coming?

Anyone know why the MSO craft lost the right to do the Machinist 9414 and outbound jobs?
