Make this make sense please!

So help me understand, they got rid of bpSolutions and instead have instead made a big central organisation under Upstream HSE & Ops. One VP pre reorg to 6VPs post re-org. Surely the cottage industry has just shifted to satisfy some power hungry and egoistical characters. What is the point and what a disaster!

They are next. Most of them couldn't get a middle manager job outside of this company.

The recent post on Culture saw a few positive references to Pat Daniels - reminders of what a great leader he is though sadly someone many current employees would not have experienced.

We are a big company now so it’s great to share with colleagues who the current great leaders are.

Let’s keep this positive shall we? Enbridge HR will have the thread removed if there negative mention of certain VPs.

I was in a meeting. The VP confirmed that it will happen by the end of August. No more details.

Seriously, how many VPs does one company need?

At Omnicell, the org chart sometimes feels less like a lean healthcare technology company and more like a VP convention with an occasional product roadmap thrown in.

You have to wonder:

👉 What does everyone actually do all day?
👉 How many “strategic alignment” meetings or “workshops” can one organization possibly have?
👉 And how many VPs does it take to schedule another meeting with the other VPs?

Then there are titles that make you stop and wonder whether the role exists because the company genuinely needs it—or because somebody needed another box on the organizational chart.

And yes… VP of Internal Communications.

That one might actually be justified. Someone has to spend all day figuring out how to turn:

“We’re eliminating your position”

into

“We’re strategically realigning our workforce to unlock future opportunities.” 😂

Maybe the real innovation at Omnicell isn’t automation.

It’s automating the creation of executive titles.

How many VPs are too many?

Asking for the shareholders. 👀

Then it's only because you couldn't ever get a similar type of role at another company, right? I'm genuinely trying to think if there is any other reason. Seems like if you were able you would be long gone by now...

Been noticing some VP roles posted as "remote". That seems odd. Like are they just posting it as remote and then giving it to someone who is already here that wants to be remote.

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.

Next round will be layoffs focused on VPs of all levels and Directors of all levels. Any director with a small number of direct reports to be fired.

We will all know by August 12-14. It was said by a VP.

Job title downgrades coming for VPs of all levels and Directors of all levels. The company needs to save money and this is the logical way.

I've heard more surplus is coming in September, and I am hoping I'm on that list! I asked to be on the July surplus and was told my department wasn't impacted so I could not be included. Any chance I will be on it in September? Specifically looking for impacted VP/SVP teams under Legg.

Can someone help me. I applied to VP at Mastercard in Purchase NY. It's Marketing. The range listed on job description is $213,000 - $351,000 USD. I am assuming this is total compensation? What's the base for VP? Bonus I am told 32%.

Is there a requirement for VP's to be sociopaths? They seem to be required to lack empathy or remorse and engage in manipulative behavior to achieve that level.

It is truly disturbing to watch them in action.

I think the annual RIFs are some kind of sick psychopathic game they love to play on us to keep people in line. It must give them pleasure to destroy people's lives year after year for no reason other than to advance their own career.

So AC is leaving. And VA consolidating power under him and empire building by adding VPs under him.
Honestly though what were ACs accomplishments? Heck what were his R&Rs? I never really understood what he did.

I hope I’m a part of this layoff. When you have people like me who have been around for 14 years wishing that they will be Riffed it should paint a picture of how toxic this place is. Let this 12 year old VP enjoy her toxicity and all her a.. kissing useless sr directors.

Since Medtronic loves saving money I have an idea. Fire the useless Sr VPs and VPs and find replacements in Colombia. I am sure that will work our great. It would save millions upon millions of dollars.

Tara should go first.

Here is how ridiculous Verizon Value is. Tanya and her cronies spent the last 2 years undoing everything that made TracFone a success. Once she was bounced out the powers that be now are reverting back to how everything was at Trac. Millions of dollars wasted and time and energy, I am so over this place. Please let me go now.

We're increasingly relying on very junior resources who often arrive with a great deal of confidence but very little context. Many are obsessed with visibility and impressing VPs and Directors, spending more energy crafting narratives and projecting competence than actually doing the work required to build it. Everyone seems eager to have an opinion on everything, despite being fresh out of school and lacking the historical context or operational understanding behind why certain decisions were made. Questioning assumptions is healthy; dismissing experience before understanding is not. Leadership often mistakes polished communication, executive presence, and confidence for capability. Those who manage perceptions rise quickly, while other carry the load. To make matters worse, some are very well connected, merit isn't always what drives opportunity. just look ate the recent hires.

Has anyone else dealt with environments where visibility is valued more than substance? Performance Vs perception he-l.

Eye opening! It shows how toxic UHC has become

Our VP ..HT.. announced he is leaving. I was told he's an ahole but even he couldn't put up with the bigger ahole that's now his Boss. Yes Sh--Charity managed to scare away even Thakkar. Rumour has it they had a falling out. Pure SH-TSHOW!

Have you heard any news/rumor?

When and who will make the list this time? VP+?

I complained to my production VP that I never get a response from SH on any email or voice message I've sent him, even though I get 1,2 and even t3 messages somedays from him asking for all sorts of information that still isn't in salesforce. he never responds to any commission adjustments either, that require his level approvals. My VP laughed and said SH doesn't respond to any VP emails either.

Can we hire some more vice presidents? The more vice presidents we hire, the more Expand has to pay the worker bees to put up with the extra BS. Then we can get a raise! In reality, we challenge the vice presidents to justify their salaries and bonuses to the stock holders. We know they are worthless from the inside view of the company. Oh, they will claim the worker bees' accomplishments, but we know who really gets the work done around here. And we don't have skeletons on our closet.

Anyone know what’s going on?

Things used to get done in hours it was the gold standard of support. The VP has no clue. The Director who knew what to do left and won’t even answer questions she directs us to the new leadership. You put people over the teams that are not qualified. The people left behind are leaving. Tickets take days across all support. Give us our access back. The coe for mobility just died next to the wireline support.

No news so far but folks are getting meetings from their manager/skip manager etc. Any VP IC - any layoff impact you faced?

Following up on a previous post about Directors being required to list what they do to earn their paychecks. Anyone heard anything new on this? "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?"

How is CS doing in greater china? Insiders tell me she’s jealous she didn’t get the VP of EMEA and is nearly ready to give up already.

Thoughts?

Is APLA sticking around after 1 June? I also heard not.

Have we figured how to increase sales? If not, no matter what you do (kick off lowly employees to save some change), wall street will keep shorting they will bring PE to 15 or less.

Cuts done and ac is a vp who reports to a vp who reports to a vp who reports to an evp?
How again are we cutting operating costs in tech????
That’s 4 vp layers in that instance alone, aside from sr director layers…

Can someone explain to me what this team does besides using IBM Watson to monitor use cases and do reporting?

How can you lay off 1400 people and not lay off a single VP in the process. I think that exposes the true purpose of this layoff more than anything else.

No VP and no resilience/reliability…..

Here is what I don’t understand. All reps and managers come on here to complain knowing that with this regime nothing is going to change. Look at the East same d-mb VP and same d-mb senior directors. They are a click. They hire people that will not rat them out or people that will not question their poor leadership. None of them have 1 leadership bone in their bodies. Ask any of them about their plan to lead their teams. It’s all calls and pips and write ups. The funny part is she said on the all managers call you need to inspire your reps. Bit.. you can’t inspire your yourself. If there is any real leadership they would all be gone now. I’ll keep this job till I find something else or better yet I hope I get riffed.

VP's (P4's) are required to give 30 days notice. Not sure if this is 30 calendar days (~4 weeks) or 30 business days (~6 weeks). Can someone clarify?

Good luck!
