Job offshoring in the country is gaining momentum at an unprecedented pace. Major companies are making headlines that show it’s no longer confined to lower-level positions — middle and upper management roles are now being transferred to India as well. A striking irony: those who once designed and championed the offshoring strategy may soon find themselves among its casualties. (Some may feel gleeful at that thought.)

How do you stop it? A lot would need to change, but one thing is certain, the leadership that implements this will go down in history as saving society.

I heard it could go on for at least ten more days. No other details, though. And there are so many rumors flying around, it’s hard to tell which ones make any sense.

This group is closer to penny wize, dollar foolish than most. Here's why. Remember all the times BH mentioned de-layering and reducing decision making authority? The exact opposite is true. I know this as I look at the list of job grades of those recently axed. Nothing higher than manager and overall average job grade let go is 9. At the same time we (they) mint more VP's. The consistent and frequent additions to the "C" suite ONLY increases beaurocrocy, time and effort to approve low $, low risk investments. Lastly, the severance for these folks was drastically REDUCED compared to previous January layoff. The thing about boiling frogs is, they all end up cooked. Demand leaders with integrity, not these imposters.

Whoever wrote it thought they were really doing something.

Here's what will be said at the town hall:

1. The company is performing very well due to BT.
2. All employees are fully embracing BT.
3. Asinine questions from shills planted in the audience
4. Few if any real questions will be addressed
5. Go-Go will say "full speed ahead".

Did they announce a change?

Did the launch of the Everyday Solutions cards flop? Why are they pushing hard for associates to sign up for exclusive offers but I don’t see anything exclusive about the offers? They all seem pretty basic and not worth it.

Has anyone read this book? All Intel employees should.

The bickering between EQT elites and Zayo has beens now? Oh yeah, and the New Crown leftovers?

The company absolutely went down hill after Michael F. Neidorff died. The executives decided to save a little money and offshore to the Philippines. Guess what Centene. Americans don't like talking to foreigners.! We get sc--wed on jobs from H1B's and the companies offshore jobs elsewhere. it cost you your Medicare business and stock price.

Today we have a “there’s power in partnership firmwide broadcast.”

What do we think this will be about?

Best guesses and snarky speculation will be accepted

Nothing seems to have a good captaincy anymore. Sailors are shaking the boat. In Visa domain knowledge and love for systems is not rewarded anymore. New direction is looking at easy points. Share prices stumbling. Old people are let go. Maybe if there's any small indication, it is right time to part.

Layoffs will be bigger than the 15% wave a year ago. The goodwill write down will be in excess of 1 billion, and that will lower the EV and push Debt to Equity to over 1000%. Access to debt markets will effectively cease, and vendors that aren't getting paid in a timely fashion will Dun XRX. Also, the fact that the patent sale hasn't produced any dollar amounts, or hype from SB, means it is probably a terrible deal. Those patents are part of the EV of XRX and will further degrade the value of the company on the next call.

Does anyone have any information about what was going to happen in December with compensation? The messaging we got was that it is just a salary update for some people but not for everyone. Initially we had thought it would be across the board.

Have heard of a crash in Pulse participation… anybody seen this?

What did Bob say? I only caught the end of his comments, but they didn't sound good.

Hello everyone,

Did anyone hear anything about planned layoffs for the people joining from TSYS?

And clueless management to boot!

Big companies are laying off and repositioning themselves to run more like a start up. Why? Because everyone has AI FOMO! Everywhere you look billions are being invested in AI. The work force is getting trimmed before companies understand whether or not AI can deliver on all that it's developers promise. Sending all your employees the message that they need to worry about their employment just days into your new position is not the definition of leadership. This is not how you build a winning team. The posts on this board are a reflection of Dan's leadership. You have yet to share the substance of your vision on just how Verizon will pivot. All you have accomplished so far is the demoralization of the work force. You are getting off to a very disappointing start.

Now a new sales target tier has been unleashed. It starts at one million and Ends at seven miiion we already had sales tiers before
This is the new company making up new things. Even if they existed

I have this feeling I’m not long for my current position anymore if that happens. I work under John Blanchards org and we just had a layoff in August. I think I’m being paranoid but since Srini is taking over soon… I just don’t know. The market is brutal now and I’m job hugging like a motherf----r, I’m not ready to leave yet.

Has any C-Level exec ever been to the Atlanta office?

In today's all hands meeting, the CTO pretty much said Citi will follow the lines of Amazon and Meta and will be laying off people. He didn't say specific numbers and exactly when but the message to me sounds like there will be layoffs coming.

This has been the well rehearsed blueprint.

Demolished. Down $111.00 in 18 months, with buybacks. I guess the investors just don’t trust us yet? Put the guy from Slalom in. Or anyone.

What in the world is a Senior President?

DW making up new titles now?

Are we really going to keep the woodlands office after divesting the anadarko?

Anyone, leader, know if 12/2 is significant? Hearing upper management are changing meeting invites to not attending. No other info and curious if anyone knows any.

As I mentioned Value CMO(VP) is gone as of yesterday. All moved to DK or KL. Very odd.

Athina’s podcast is back…

Unsure who the he-l would listen to this. How “transformational” can a Strategy & Transformation officer be when their company's stock is only up 3% over her 5 year tenure????

She needs to go, this toxic S&T culture starts with her, absolute corrupt coward who acts like a dictator

Everybody sleeping good?

Read a bunch of the recent threads and something doesn't add up because the earnings looks fine? Stock jumped nearly 40% and it isn't even lunch yet.
