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!

Just heard AS put in his notice, was he pushed out or decided he had enough? Anyone in CIS heard from him?

Not super surprising with CIS buried in FAST. What does this mean cybersecurity at Nike?

Does Meg install a new CFO sooner than later?

Is this curtains for RS? Will it change anything

I recall someone said it… too bad there’s no way to operate a pool!

SJ retiring replaced by PK. KM and AM stepping out, first wave of SVP changes already announced, more to come? What do we think?

We have decided to bring HR, Legal, Compliance and Corporate Affairs together under Keeley Aleman in an expanded role as Waters General Counsel and Head of Global Human Resources.

We are grateful for Cheryl Kennedy’s leadership and contributions over the past year, as she helped support our people and advance our HR strategy during an important period for the company. Cheryl has left Waters and we wish her the very best.

Who in their right mind would “bring HR, Legal, Compliance and Corporate Affairs together?”

Kevin Hart's media company, Hartbeat, faces significant internal challenges. A recent report details layoffs, lawsuits, and executive shakeups. The company, once valued at $650 million, has downsized. Kevin Hart finalized a deal with Authentic Brands Group this January. This agreement reportedly caused employee concerns regarding the company's future.

From his role as CEO in the coming investor call. JP will be announced as new CEO effective Q1 FY2027. Stay tuned.

Got word today that the SVP is gone "retiring". Wild news, sounds like more to follow. Usually this is the fuse that lights the fire. Layoffs and a reorg are definitely coming to CS. Makes sense though, you can't have 2 SVPs over CS and Retail.

Is this the end of JJ or LisaP?

Intel swipes Qualcomm veteran of 25 years to lead client computing — Alex Katouzian jumps ship to oversee consumer CPUs and physical AI

This is my favourite Wizard of Oz song.

I think things are looking up at Fiserv.

Vishay is good. He understands core banking inside out. There should be a lot less chair shuffling as an earlier post suggested. Of course, that someone, the “she” who shuffles the chairs, is horrible to the health of Fiservants.

Is it true?

So what is the real story behind the CFO change? Not interested in medical history… was it stress induced or DW had enough?

Lal is forcing end of the year

Serious question: is this an actual leadership change… or just another episode of “nothing to see here, carry on”?

Because if you’ve been here longer than five minutes, you’ve seen this headline before. Big announcement. Big promises. Same results. Now we’re being told the MM exit is happening in July.
July??

So we’re just supposed to sit tight for a few more months and pretend everything is fine while the same dysfunction keeps running? That the damage they did to people didn’t happen? At this point, it’s not even skepticism, it’s pattern recognition.

Let’s recap what employees have actually experienced:
• Constant churn
• Strong people walking out the door
• “Transformation” that somehow makes things worse, not better
• Leadership narratives that don’t match reality on the ground

And now we’re supposed to believe this time it’s different?

I think the real internal reaction is:
“I’ll believe it when I see the calendar hit July… and even then, I’ll give it a week.”

Also—genuine question—how much did this last year of “strategy” actually cost the company in lost talent, momentum, and dollars?

Because that’s the part no one ever addresses. If this is real, great. Long overdue. But respectfully… employees aren’t celebrating yet.

We’ve learned, we have the scars, the damage has been done and we will pray for the future org they fake their way into.

Thoughts?

GPC finally fired not retired our supposed tech leader. He destroyed a great organization. Next they will move to take out all his minions.

Anyone want to start a pool who is the next C Suite to either leave or get forced out?
Make your guess of who, and what quarter (or month if you're bold) you think it happens.

Jenny Breeden and Bill Foudy are out. What are they doing with owned brands?

Heard that Pharm Systems is at it again. Another wave of VPs and executives leaving. Others (barely any) updating their LinkedIn profiles to "Open to Work" and probably asking competitors for job openings. Europe, US - they're flying out faster than Tom&Jerry in their private jet to Jackson Hole. The sales organization is wiped out - a printed picture memory at this point. The people who actually knew the clients, knew the product, and knew how to close - gone. Last I heard, they now have project managers hunting for device business. Let that sink in. Somewhere along the way, politics ate strategy alive. Then came the massive bonus and commission cuts - looks good on the quarterly report. The PnL is probably on life support by another travel ban. Then Services? Handed to people with 0 experience whose previous team was actually taken apart and promptly set on fire. Those of us who got out are just sitting here with popcorn, watching, and waiting for the "Pharm Systems Acquired By..." press release to drop.

Seems like a hard working and nice guy. Just an Arun thing?

Wow, did not see that coming. Devote more time to family my Aunt Fanny.

Hardly anyone sticks at the same place.

Maybe it’s the first of many to fall, or maybe not. We’ll see where this goes

Spilker is out! Now someone take VB please! We need our nice Optum culture back!

There was a thread the other week of potentially more org changes coming. And here we go. This place is circling the drain

Xbox has new leaders today, now that Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond are out — and you’d be forgiven for assuming that means yet another round of layoffs and shuttered studios, especially one day after Sony jettisoned a beloved developer.

https://www.theverge.com/games/882377/microsoft-says-todays-xbox-shakeup-doesnt-mean-game-studio-layoffs

That was a short tenure and strange timing.

Isn't this the 3rd new Optum CA president in less than a year??? Or am I getting confused?

The board has toppled Hans the ringmaster. Without his costume and whip in hand the Tiger gets run of the show. What a welcome turn of events.

They haven’t been pushed out. They haven’t been removed from “power”. They have been given newly created positions.

Conspiracy, or coincidence?

Any normal person would have thought they would be sent off with the old guard, but do they know too much?

She was removed from the leadership landing page and linkedin has Dec 2025 as the end of her time here. Seems like more shuffle, more noise and no clarity

What will happen to apla after CS departs? I work there and I'm worried. CC is only interim and rumor has it she's made it very clear she doesn't want a geo leadership role.

Can anyone offer any insight?
