Is VBG ok?

I've seen posts over the last few days on a particular VP (won't name names here), and then other posts on TPD and Product....is VBG ok? My impression (arms length, to be fair) has been that VBG had more things to sell and more upside. Am I just overreacting to a few posts here?

Next WFR wave June

Massive reduction in force aligned for June under the code "restructuring". Starting July, company will operate under a completely new model. Won't get it into it here, but huge paring of middle managers (team leaders) and entire functions run under separate teams eliminated. 15 - 20 percent of workforce, to include all levels, VP, directors, IC.


Stores closing in CA region

VP said there will be 6 stores closing in the CA region this year. Came down on last STL call. Looking at 3 in the greater LA area, 1 in San Diego and two in northern California. Going to be cutting the stores with the lowest sales volume because they're not meeting sales projections and they're running above cost for labor.


Just in case you're still unsure it's over

several hours ago our VP in Fusion told it to remaining group of people from NA, IDC, EU locations that it's done and those who are on the call are safe for now.
I've heard of a few such cases where folks were informed by their managers/VPs/SVPs it's finally over. So if you're still here, you made it.

Speaking of scandals

Remember around 2020-21 When a certain VP got fired for letting her son resell Nike shoes in bulk that were purchased on her corporate credit card... I didn't realize she changed her name and is now the CEO of Footlocker. Talk about failing upwards


Monday & Tuesday - for Canada and the US

  • Meeting invites are going out Monday (Canada) and Tuesday (U.S.).
  • Not sure if this is limited to my GBU or affects everyone at Oracle.
  • VPs would have known on Friday...assuming managers get told Monday am or VPs do the work, and then everything is executed

I’d like to keep anonymous, so I’m not going to mention my GBU.


VPs Are exiting

Looks like VPs are starting their exits now. We went from a skeleton crew to barely any bones left. Don’t spend that AIP payout because who knows what the next few weeks are going to look like. So long fellow associates who have been here long enough to remember the good old days when we had real leadership and transparency.


Media picked up on WA layoffs

More than 200 different job titles are impacted, according to the filing, including analysts, engineers and technicians, as well as directors and managers.

The cuts targeted nearly 210 senior- and director-level employees, plus seven employees with vice president or senior vice president titles. They include a senior VP of talent and four VP of legal affairs roles.

Greenspoint assigned parking

Remember how at GP long time employees had assigned parking spots? VPs even had a separate section on the ground floor. Then when we moved to EMHC it was announced that there would be no assigned parking for anyone even VPs. It sure wasn’t long before VPs once again had their own assigned spots but employees were never given assigned spots again.


FISV = $60?

Why are you guys surprised? All along I projected the stock to be in the 50s.

What is next? Fiserv is no longer a fintech company, it is a company with a bunch of accountants and top-heavy with VPs and SVPs. All its IP 🧐 assets are contractors. No one would invest in an accounting firm. Clover? It’s only 8% of the market and going down.

Infinite? Simply an agent, facilitating, accounting cover-up to beautify quarterly earnings.

Sad but this company is dead without its full time IP committed to Fiserv. Mike can’t do anything, Frank left him with long term contracts with third parties and many Frank’s kool-aid guys still around. Stock to $40 .

It will take Mike about another 2 years to know IP is a must to the survival of this company.


What are we left with in GT?

Out of 14 VPs left, we have 2 maybe 3 decent leaders left at the VP level in GT.

Others are highly toxic, backstabbing, have no vision, will sacrifice their team to make themselves look good, lack technical, product, or design competency.

Make no mistake that sooner or later all of the above will impact all of us even if you are in the space that is isolated from it right now or are able to talk you way out of it (at least for now).


Difference between Boeing and Expand?

Number of people dying from bad management decisions. Both companies have deaths associated with managers ignoring senior technical personnel and violating company and industry safety standards. VP of drilling never drilled a well. VP of completions never completed a well. What could possibly go wrong with this logic? Hire more VPs and fire more engineers. Bankrupt the company using the CEO's playbook that has been finely tuned to make executive management rich. Life is karma. You can't keep this up forever.


Ideas Portal

Does anyone know where submissions of the ideas form actually go? Do they go to your supervisor, AD, Director, VP, SVP, EVP? Straight to dans email (not slack)? Just wondering if anyone’s in the know on this and knows if it will actually be taken seriously or if it’s just for show.


H1

The disproportionate presence of Indian leaders hiring and promoting mostly Indian H1-B candidates speaking their language into SVP and other VP roles in Tampa raises concerns about favoritism and closed networks. When leadership pipelines lack balance - opportunities for other equally qualified professionals are very limited.
