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

Companies like these get doomed because they don’t recognize people’s background, capabilities and experience. They have one lens of cost reduction. The truth is person in lower level can only make their contributions that are aligned with their pay grade. You may have heard some people say “ it is above their pay grade”. Person may have abilities but so many people may have thrown stones on someone’s career that title wise you will not see the growth. And the person may stay in the lower role because another phrase you may have heard “it pays the bills”. Do the right thing. Put people in right roles. Re-interview everyone. Listen to them. Then give them roles based on their abilities. Then watch your company reach new heights.

They won’t apply to higher positions because they don’t want to be laughed at. You have to make effort to re-recruit within the company.

Transformation does not happen using traditional methods. Think different, do things differently, re-structure differently.

I did my part, you do yours.

Maybe your role wasn’t eliminated but it’s different now… you’re managing a lot more people suddenly or not managing people anymore? Or you were asked to go down a level in title or comp?

Who now truly owns delivery if scrum masters, squad leads, and coordination layers are reduced?

Fires 40 pct of his direct reports and assumes their roles, including Availability. figures out that most outages occur during change, so now unnatural acts of impossible clairvoyance are expected, with the implication of losing your job due to things out of your control. Need a mulligan. This is the end.

Looks like the “Captain” Zone has changed to “Untethered Selling”…. Anyone have factual information on what exactly is changing in this role?

Are we doing title realignment again? Does anyone have more info on what is it and why it is coming our way?
I understand that they are trying to set as much people as possible. Is this exercise being performed instead of mid year reviews?

I am considering a role in private wealth in Minnesota. Reading through these posts, there seems to be a lot of employee frustration. It seems much of it is around RTO and it appears much of that may be in other business lines. Can someone in private wealth share the good and the bad?
Specific questions:
1) I am being promised a sizable book of business due to departures last year. Historically, will these clients be loyal or are they likely shopping as they haven’t had an advisor?
2) I am being told many referrals and new business opportunities are available via internal bank channels such as the commercial bank. Is this accurate and how many referrals should I expect each year?
3) I’m receiving mixed messages around what has caused the recent employee turnover and how much there has actually been. Can anyone share what is accurate? I’ve heard anything from 3 people left in 2025 up to 25, so that’s quite the gap.
4) I’ve often heard US Bank technology is behind, but I have been told that is no longer the case. Specifically mentioned was salesforce and the integration of daily work. Do you feel the technology allows you to be successful?
5) Leadership - this site has many negative posts about senior leaders, but the local leaders I have met seem to engaged and ready to support me. Is that accurate?

Thanks for your willingness to share to good or bad. I’m excited about the opportunity, but nervous I may be missing something.

I am thinking of taking a job in USPB. Would you recommend that department and a good future there?

This feels like an Elon Musk moment. Was asked to put in four bullets what my role is with metrics supporting it? Can’t say “Oversees” or anything high level. Is Director level being hit next?

Is it true that LRs are coming for USC sales and engineering roles for ODs, SSEMs, RMs, SEMs, AEs and SEs. If so, nominate our HGO SSEM as he is incompetent and has no interpersonal skills. He should not be a people leader.

Group Secretaries, honestly, seem to do a better job of keeping track of status, ensuring the details are accurate, and sending updates out to the right people on time. What value does a program manager add if they're not actively moving the project forward or addressing issues? Are they really adding more than organizing emails and meetings, or is it just a title for doing what an admin assistant could do with a little extra responsibility?

I want to move into the scrum master role but i heard they are changes coming to that chapter? What are the changes please?

Heard they are getting rid of all USC agent stores by July 31. Are they doing the same with their corporate doors? Seeing a lot of folks from USC moving into director roles with TMO

I’m a sales associate with well rounded retail experience and knowledge. I swap posters in beauty and fragrances when the VC is away. I was given holiday seasonals to train without being a seasonal captain..I also get ask to tell employees what to do and even to reprimand them. How should I go about addressing this issue? Should I be getting paid more? any input would help.

With all the changes we are experiencing in CW that don't make logical sense, the wrong people being let go while others get placed in vague non value roles, I wonder if our leader Sanjay has settled his lawsuit with his last company so he can focus and earn all that salary he is getting here. The lawsuit makes claims that are concerning and I really hope we don't have a similar experience here. I'm sure he is an honest and upstanding guy and it was all a misunderstanding. I mean, the way he just smiles and has talked about a brighter future for the last couple of years I am sure they are wrong. Sure we have been hearing it for a couple years and just need a couple more years to see it. It's a 4 year plan. Similar to a vesting schedule.

I'm hearing the company is focusing on getting technical solution engineers to now fill AE roles. How true is this? What are the benefits of a solution engineer transitioning to this role?

Anyone else noticing how many contractors in Brand are acting like leaders or even hiring managers? Some seem to be leading parts of the business and directing creative work within the agency structure. It’s confusing when contractors appear to be overseeing other contractors, and it’s often unclear who is actually working for who. The dynamic can feel pretty toxic.

When a contractor in the agency positions themselves as a department or team lead, or even a creative lead over others, it raises questions about who actually has a seat at the table and how those decisions are being made.

Curious how this became the model.

My manager took away some of my duties and reassigned them to himself. Is this a sign that middle management knows their time is up? I think they are padding their duties so they can appear to have work to do and avoid layoffs, but it's time to pay the piper! Sneaky little rascals!

Wondering how they differ among departments, what is your API percentage goal?

I left Surmont 5 years ago but if it was unionized, Id still be there.
I was hired as a steam plant CRO during construction of S2 along with hundreds of others. After busting my a-s for 5 years making the steam plant control room operations a smooth operation along with all the other main CRO guys who were dedicated to creating a great operations. Then management decided to rotate us in the field which was not the position we were hired for. A few of us were in our mid 50’s and even though our performance evaluations were awesome, we had no say.
There were 4 of us that left and it was unfortunate. I do miss my CRO position but physically I could not do the field

Ive seen that the NCGs havent been pulling their weight on shift with helping out the lighter MFG crew. Has anyone noticed this?

rms here outside of north east region. if they try to force me into an RTM role with no severance option, im accepting and immediately going std after this launchs for “mental health” ….then will use that time to find another position elsewhere. but to b honest, already been doin that, applied to hundreds of positions. nothing back. we are all effed. SR/RMS are all equally effed. worst economy since 08/09.

yes, it means I take a sales position from a good rep, but at the same time it will teach them a lesson and will leave a territory unmanned and in the dump. serves these vipers right.

What do they offer the flow , are they still on ideploy , do they get a raise ?

This is major news Honeywell. Company is going role by role and assessing the roles in new company.

Has anyone been impacted so far this week?

Having worked here for a number of years we've all heard of the "restructuring" BS that has people in a constant wave of panic. Even though I am upset at how I was laid off, ultimately I'm glad and think this can help me in the future. Useless MD/D & SVPS that run the boat into the storm and never seem to face any repercussions for their actions. After a fairly tough year getting bad ratings seems to be the reason I loss my job but who can even tell. They claim my role has been eliminated, so here I am at home waiting to hear a call from HR. On another note I cannot reach out to HR it seems like this was a planned move on their part; giving managers a script to read to workers and absolutely no answers I feel like a sitting duck. And to any of the managers reading this that knew their workers were going to get cut but decided to tell them the day of the actual cuts. I hope you enjoy he**.

Anybody know of any situations where a contractor or TECDP got hit with a PIP, or was unable to post-out of their role.

Seems to be a huge concern as a lot of the class is trying to get post-outs and are struggling, with some having to leave externally.

Definitely team dependent of course, was just overall curious.

I’ve heard of TECDPs that posted-out then got canned.

Does it come with severance?

I have been with Qualcomm for the past 15 years. My current role typically takes only about 2–3 hours a day, and honestly, it’s something a new graduate could handle. Yet I continue in the same position and earn a Principal Engineer salary, which I’m very grateful for. Since I have extra time, I also pursue some real estate activities on the side., vesting and resting. There are hundreds of people like me in the company , milking the company as much possible.

If sales coaches are training staff and sending stats what do the Managers do?

I’ve noticed OKC management are going to different roles. Is the OKC office closing? What is going on?

There’s a chance the next round of layoffs may affect management roles in the coming weeks.

What’s the difference between each role?
Some people are good, but the many people are creating friction at each step… satisfying egos and insecurities.

Roles are being eliminated to be replaced with India later this year. US teams being eliminated to be replaced by India later this year and 2027. That’s the signal to leave.

What does a CAO do? What does your BL’s CAO do? What are their responsibilities and are they really needed at the bank? I feel like it’s another inflated title for someone without a real role. What am I missing?

Do you guys think they will role out the retail territory managers all over? What areas have gone to it so far?

The layoffs seem almost entirely driven by the bottom line, with little other logic. We pick up the slack left by those who were let go, clinging to the vain hope that working harder will save our own jobs, so no one ever pays attention to the fact that critical roles have been eliminated. They care even less that everything will eventually fall apart. There’s only so much people and teams can endure before they break.

That position sounds horrendous. Did they give you an option for the severance or did they just pick who they're keeping? This job su-ks now and adding hiring, training, doing schedule, covering call offs/short staff on top of being a rep and cleaning up backrooms. That sounds like 70 hrs a week. Those of you that took the role what you thinking????

I’m just frustrated that they keep cutting and cutting roles, to stack responsibility on top of someone else is work load…then decide make you fight for a open role in a “hunger games” like ritual where you go against your colleagues. This whole thing takes a month long mind you. Then if you’re lucky to be the one they picked, poof, restructuring 6 months down the road. Su-ks
