Lay Off (what org / function)

I am sorry if you have been notified today and hope you find that your next role is far better than this company has offered you! It would be helpful to know what function or org you are with if you have been notified without giving who you are away!


4 things that describe this “leadership” and reasons why the company is circling the drain

Extreme Scapegoating & "The Other"

  • A hallmark of bad leadership, such as the arrogance exhibited by leaders at failed companies like AT&T is deflecting personal and strategic failures onto external factors, internal rivals, or entire departments, fostering a culture of paranoia and blame.

Absolutist Fanaticism

  • Many executives driving companies into ruin stubbornly refuse to pivot. They mistake their own inflexible dogma for visionary genius, leading organizations into bankruptcy or scandal.

Totalitarian Control Over Dissent

  • Leaders of toxic corporate cultures actively suppress internal feedback, surround themselves with "yes-men," and retaliate against whistleblowers. This inevitably isolates the C-suite from reality, creating blind spots that allow organizational fraud or collapse

Cult of Personality Over Competence

  • Narcissistic leaders, like John Stink of AT&T, frequently prioritize personal charisma, media hype, and public relations over building sustainable, operational business models

Don't count on a future at PepsiCo

If you're smart, you should have been actively looking and applying for a job from the start of the year, if not sooner. No one is safe here, and I think that's been blatantly telegraphed for a while now. This is not the same company I joined 15 years ago, that's for sure.


MoA Layoffs News-Flash Forward

When TIAA-CREF joined forces with Accenture, it was supposed to be transformational. It hasn't. Read these comments from the TIAA board applicable to Mutual of America's situation:

"and also 50% less of the work and knowledge. And growing as people like the other poster leave or are let go soon will be a loss. I mean lots of projects canceled or put on hold to likely be abandoned later.

D-mbest thing this ceo did here and she/board will probably throw SD under the bus when you know what hits the fan and everything goes from bad to worse when people are gone.

I don’t like it but could understand closing Jax and Denver. But this move was completely asinine. Time will tell. Hopefully I am wrong but I have a pretty steady record of being right about these things here over the years."
$$$$$
50% less work. High Turnover. Slow Results or no results. Delayed & cancelled projects

Sounds like a recipe spelling disaster.


Does Takis Support WFH?

BisigSCAMno destroyed the company and made this place miserable to work for with Sapience and mandated in office hours, minimum 9 hours a day, five days per week.

Mike Lyons brought back some sanity by offering flexibility with pool of remote work days, number of required in office hours and getting rid of Sapience.

Takis was here working with both CEO. Does anyone know whether he's in the BisigSCAMno camp and will likely reinstitute rigid in office requirements to drive away our remaining talent?

Or is he sane and will likely leave well enough alone by leaving the current flexibility?

Or might be do something different?

Is he the type to care about such things?

Is there anyone on here who actually knows his mentality around these matters?


Return to office explained

"Our new research reveals that the objection to any work from home is more likely to be driven by something else entirely: ego.

"The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism — the tendency to be self-centered and entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status — and the more they favored return-to-office mandates.

"Return-to-office mandates fail to increase financial returns. They succeed only in motivating star employees to quit, reducing the satisfaction of those who stay and discouraging new talent from joining."
