#director

Does this mean the whole team is getting fired? or is this just for some team structure change, no invite on calendar. Very anxious

I was thinking about applying for a tech security position.

Until I saw the hiring manager.

I am familiar with her. There is no way that she knows anything about tech security... And, she's a director. Like, she's an 'expert' in the field.

First time I've ever been like, "Yeah, Fidelity has D . E . I . but they have enough people to fill roles with talented people."

What people are saying is true. No way is this company doing well when I see this.

A HS dropout with ChatGPT would be a better fit for director than this individual. Just wow.

Every year towards the end, we have to give our manager a list of names so they can request feedback, right?

Im saying director/manager because this person was not my manager until they did the whole mid level management flattening bs last February. My manager is a director, basically.

I would say my total "talk time" with this person over the course of 11 months was in the ballpark of 90 minutes TOTAL.

Well, I got a "feedback request" email this morning requesting feedback on MY DIRECTOR/manager from our VP - it is his boss so, that's typical.. Which I thought was odd because I honestly barely know my director/manager. Why would they give my name to give feedback lol? I'm a lowly i6 so like, I would have assumed they'd choose people who are a bit higher than me and/or those who they actually work WITH?

I feel a bit "flattered" and in some ways safer from layoffs considering this, as generally speaking people don't submit names for feedback unless you like them and think they will speak highly of you. I've also never had to give feedback for a manager before unless it's Tell Dell.

My director/manager has 24 direct reports and the only time I talk to them is during our monthly 1x1's which are always less than like 12 minutes at best lol. It's a running joke between a lot of us in how fast they do 1x1's lol. My director doesn't waste time. Tells me what/if anything he needs to tell me, then asks whats up with me. I say xyz and that's literally it.

I always try to get personable though because I'm very personable and it's just how I am. Maybe they like that, idk lol? Is this normal to be requested to give feedback to your manager for EOY feedback requests?

What even the Directors and Senior Directors do lol??????

Has the board of directors ever considered just firing themselves with the other droves of "assets" to fix the compliance problems?

This company has turned it's back on everything it once stood for.

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.

Just had a conversation with my Director and they stated that Enbridge in Ontario will be going back to full 5 days per week in the second quarter. Stated this is to be in line with the Province of Ontario mandated all government workers back to a full 5 days.

I do believe what I was told but guess will wait and see.

I'm surprised that more impacted retail employees aren't pushing back especially directors. Do you know why you were chosen? If not, have you asked?

I keep hearing December 18th as a date for consumer group. Directors have a PTO block after , probably to do damage control. Also expenses need approved by that date. Anyone hear anything more concrete?

What has anyone heard about supply chain field for layoffs? My site director said they are looking at getting rid of operations directors positions. There also seems to be too many operations managers positions.

Wild these positions we’re left untouched - some poor decisions have been made by this one impactful ones, but yet she still hold the job kind of wild that my director didn’t even have a call with us to say he was leaving Only to have no transparency of really what’s going on with this company but this one’s still kept their job

They’re not real contributors to the workforce. They bring nothing to the company, and the only reason they’re still around is the cheap internal politics backed by upper management like Kalyani, Senthil, and Vivek. It’s embarrassing that they’ve managed to survive. All due to Shankar & Co .

15 minute one on one with my director, a bit outside the 8am - 10am window but they’re in a different timezone than I am.

Anyone versed in artificial intelligence can fairly easily train AI to create power point slides, Excel spreadsheet s, create budgets, and even sit in on meeting calls take notes and parrot back to worker bees.

The real work is done by these so called "leader's" staff.

What say you; are you in agreement?

Directors? Senior Directors? ADs? SAMs? CEs?

VP's, director's and managers do not lead, they spread their toxic behavior and all they care about is employees that follow their lead and cut costs. While knowing HR and lawyers will cover it up. This ends up costing more in the end. Hold these people accountable for their actions, inactions, tactics and improve the moral of the entire team. Start investigating HR and move on through the VP's, directors and managers. Time for the trustees to make moves to remove these toxic leaders and show employees they are respected and cared for. Talent, experience and leaders are being lost. The system failed all employees.

Do they know if they’re staying or going and who on their teams are ?

Can we take bets on how many demos break down or how many lies the director of quality will tell?

So Sr Directors were notified today and ADs and below will be notified Thursday. Does that mean Directors are notified tomorrow or Wednesday? Or maybe Directors Tuesday and ADs Wednesday?

Many Sr. Directors were axed today in retail and across other orgs. Everyone else impacted will be notified on Thursday. For Band 6 (Directors & ADs) employees that are impacted, I'd encourage you to take the package they're offering because there will be more cuts and the severance might be worse.

I’m wondering if my director (one step above my associate director) help to put together the list of names. Our Senior director is still relatively new and wouldn’t know the or well enough to know which people should stay and go, so I’m wondering if our director had any input.

For two years straight I have not written mid-year or year-end comments for myself and it’s had no impact on me. I am a director reporting to a senior director. I write constructive comments for my directs, but I just don’t care and feel that no one ever reads my comments anyway. I just feel like it has no bearing on the 1.25% merit increase, so why bother?

Have SDs, directors or ADs know? Have they been officially told? Does it happen this week?

What band is an AD? Director? Sr Director?

Managers? Directors? Sr. Directors? VPs?

has anyone else gotten a “slap on the wrist” for reaching out to a director to talk about an issue? i was recently warned by my manager that reaching out to a director and skipping the order of management could lead to termination. isn’t this a bit much?!

Director and manager layoffs next. Flattening the curve on the fat middle

Sometimes I'm puzzled by the director of business development position. It feels like their main tasks,attending calls and presenting targets at QBRs,are things that any competent manager could easily handle. The most confusing part is their constant international travel to meet with BDRs. It seems like a lot of time and resources for meetings that could be more efficient in other ways. One of the directors is visiting Europe currently and why? To meet BDRs.

Span of control for directors was 20, does this apply to senior directors as well as many of them have less than this?

Today was the chopping day at NGS. Many managers. Directors. And lower level people riffed in preparation for JG bid. They cut to the bone marrow on this one. All their experience. Knowledge base and loyalty they got rid of. I hope they don’t get it.

Imagine being told your job as a director is being eliminated before the holiday weekend.
