Of course being replaced by ai is not impossible, and obviously scary, yet hilarious to think about our executives regurgitating data organized by ai because they won’t even know what’s incorrect.

Link dropped in our emails. Let him have it.

Kelly King and Bumbling Bill made an agreement when Gargamel took over that he wouldn’t remove the pension for 10 years. Not sure if that was the day of the merger or the day Gargamel took over. But the pension will cease to exist in way less than 10 years.

I am a first time visitor and I read all of the posts. The one I liked the most was the report card. I wanted to write one and see what y’all think and how things have gotten better or worse.

National sales/ This one is my team so I would rate an A but our marketing toolbox is horrible and we didn’t hit every target so B.

Local sales/ this one is the same as above. I have lots of friends there so I know.

Marketing/ this one is horrible. F-

Safety- I don’t know that much about these gentlemen so B. I haven’t heard great things and haven’t heard bad things.

Legal: I don’t know much about them either but because they shut their eyes to everything I read below that they coulda shoulda stopped, I will give them a D

Crisis business team/ these gentlemen get an A++ . They send us informational teports that I give my customers and they love it and they figure out how to get them out orders no matter what is going on out there. They also called me once when there was a g-n fight near me to make sure I was safe. If these gentlemen are part of the safety org, then A plus for them. Bless all y’all for what you do.

HR- I have friends here too and I would have given them a B but the cheating to bring the wrong people to our company and that atrocious hire gives them a D. They shoulda known better.

Security/ they have to change this yesterday. How could y’all think the gentleman was the right hire. Y’all are exposing us to danger.

IT: these gentleman get a D. Their apps and tools are easy to use but they go down all of the time.

Payroll- they have a new way to pay us for our wins and never had any problems with them. B

Out drivers: they rock it. They make it happen. A+

Executives / C

Did I forget anyone?

Anyone got any clue as to what the H is going on this weekend? Intranet says executive board meetings from 06/05-06/09. I’ve heard rumors Ed Rust has been spotted A LOT in Bloomington but it’s just a rumor.

1 By partnering closely with NVIDIA, Dell successfully secured a front-row seat on the AI wave.
2 By backing Donald Trump, Dell gained political support and substantial government orders.
3 By distancing the company from China and giving up part of the Chinese market, Dell earned strong trust from Trump and his allies.
4 Through quiet but decisive and continuous layoffs, Dell has consistently reduced costs.
5 By shifting operations toward India, Dell has maintained product competitiveness.

has announced his intention to leave the business effective June 6." This departure marks yet ANOTHER high profile exit from AT&T.

Because what will Really get us out of this mess are more executives who lead by numbers and have no idea what an “SDLC” even is. yay.

This should be entertaining

Four in five execs say they were less likely to value human employees after using AI
AI still requires human oversight, and many struggle to fully trust it

Poor and even negative ROI continues to plague many

A new study by Globalization Partners has revealed more than four in five (82%) company execs say they are less likely to value human employees after using AI tools, positioning human workers as secondary assets after more capable systems.

This sentiment differs from the current state of affairs, whereby 60% of the 2,850 surveyed senior execs agreed humans still lead work operations with AI merely serving as a productivity booster.

The difference could imply that, while humans remain integral today, managers may place less of an emphasis on the human workforce in the future as AI gets more work done autonomously.

AI is impacting how much top managers value their human workers

The shift likely positions humans as AI managers, rather than administrative workers, with two in three (69%) now spending more time than ever before monitoring and reviewing AI-generated work. The sense of a lack of trust still lingers, too, with only 23% having total confidence in AI's accuracy and 61% worries about legal accuracy when using AI on sensitive documents.

However, while some execs see AI as a human replacer, many others are still dissatisfied with their returns. Three-quarters (73%) say ROI has fallen short of expectations, with 16% even reporting negative ROI. As a result, around seven in 10 execs say they're prepared to cut AI budgets this year if goals are not met.

Separately, Gartner VP Analyst Padraig Byrne explained, "AI is everywhere, but most organizations are still figuring out how to monitor and trust these systems."

Giving a sneak peak into where companies might be getting it wrong, the research firm implied that those building AI agents without strong semantic and contextual data foundations are most likely to see hallucinations, unreliable outputs and biases.

Together, the two reports indicate that while execs are increasingly seeing AI as unavoidable, many are still struggling to trust it.

Looking ahead, Gartner calls for the implementation of model monitoring policies to provide quite quality metrics and an increased focus on infrastructure to handle high-volume model telemetry.

It's what...nearly two years since he was brought in as the technology executive management team member to fix Citi's age old problems. What/How has he delivered so far? Considering what his directs (forget the whole team) costs Citi? What's the ROI?

Biggest question to answer - Would Citi ever be in a position to exit the CO had it not been some other administration in place (either Republican different than Pres. Trump or a Dem Pres.)? If the answer is no, then is it not clear that Tim Ryan has failed misreably at his job? 2 years is a long time at that level. Then again....CO was issued under Jane's watch and her total comp and position has only climbed higher and higher every year, despiteg Citik having paid nearly half a billion dollars in just fines since the 2020 CO. She's costed Citi more than that already...she ain't in any position to hold Tim accountable for anything

BNY Pershing’s CIO came and went faster than a transformation buzzword. The British hipster swagger, the artisan‑arrogance, the 'Untuckit' shirt and white tennis shoes style and the “I’ll fix and co-locate everything in six weeks” energy — all gone. And in classic BNY fashion, the update is delivered with that beloved euphemism: “He is no longer with us.” Translation: blink and you missed him.

Joe Martin (CCO) barely made it to a year and he's already out! Fossil can't seem to stop burning through executives, can they?

While we stay up overnight wondering if we have a job.

It's abundantly clear that the executive leadership does not care to listen to anyone of importance to the company. Don't plan on attending anything of meaning to them. Boycott the PHK naming ceramony and JDI day. Employee engagement surveys are absolutely worthless, and your comments have already been pushed away The only way to make your feelings known... is to not show up when the company spends buco bucks to make themselves look good. Maybe then they'll realize that listening to the core employee base, and the workers with years of experience, is the way forward.

Asking for a friend.

Trying to justify the spend on those retreats where execs just drink and have “meetings” and then talking about ROI from ONE encounter where someone clicked to our website. All a sham

My LL3 accidentally mentioned this site when they were complaining about people complaining on social media. The executives all read these posts and I think it is them and HR that make all the inane posts to bury things they would rather you aren’t reading.

What evidence is there for that?

Hey MW, just come out and say it that you want all US employees to quit so all that is left is you and a couple executives and the rest of the company overseas. We are big boy and girls and get it that your goal is to make us all so miserable we all leave. Its a guarantee its on all of ELT's PMPs to get all jobs overseas and to drive morale into.th4 ground!

Gil is doing a great job. Bonuses for all the C-suite executives!!!

That is when you should sell as well.

Adnan stopped by and boy was that a waste of money and time! Fake smiles and selfies for everyone. Your lack ofsupport is not made up by these stupid visits! We are told to save money but Adnan is not holding back in his expenses! Dinner and drinks for the leadership team that could pay a weeks salary. Tip to executives no need to visit us

DXC traded around $59 per share in 2017 and spiked to $96 per share in 2018. But since then, save for a surge during the 2021 tech bo-m, it has been a long, slow decline. On April 30, it closed at an all-time low of $11.32 per share -- that is since it went public as DXC in 2017.

On an average annualized basis, DXC stock has dropped 17.7% per year over the past nine years.

I'll be brief - almost all of them are always performative, vague... overly scripted and fu--ing unable to execute...

Does anyone know or can explain their full annual compensation?

Seriously one very top level executive is into triathlons. That is heavy commitment. I know since am in that space. It is virtually impossible unless you are almost full-time. This is a shame that CEO is ignoring this.

Tech giants are currently prioritizing efficiency. Meta and Amazon executives frequently mentioned efficiency during recent earnings calls. Microsoft's top finance executive confirmed a planned headcount decline this year. The company aims to increase its pace and agility. This move signals a broader focus on leaner operations within the tech sector.

Or are they stuck in their ivory tower, ignoring not just the voice of consumers but their own employees too?

So many high level executives and mid level experienced managers have left this month. Almost everyone who is finding any work is leaving like this is titanic, is it really this bad?

In 2025 Nike’s seven highest paid executives were paid a combined $101,255,247.

If you assume the average Nike corporate employee in Beaverton makes $115,000/year, that means in 2025 those seven executives made the same amount of money as 880 Beaverton employees. Combined.

Remind me, how many Beaverton employees were or will be let go this week? Isn’t that number in the same neighborhood as 880?

Sometimes I wonder, “Why do facts like THIS never seem to garner the attention, and understandable anger, they deserve?” I mean, if those execs were simply paid half that amount they’d STILL be incredibly well-compensated and incredibly wealthy. And 440 jobs could have been kept with no net, negative outcome to Nike’s financial bottom line.

But that wasn’t a priority, was it?

Even now, those execs could voluntarily take a substantial pay cut as a gesture of good will towards those employees laid off and those who remain. But does anyone want to bet money on that happening? Yeah, I wouldn’t make that bet either.

There’s plenty to be mad about with these layoffs. Unfortunately most people will continue to ignore the gross, frankly disgusting pay inequity that - as I demonstrated above - had a direct and negative impact on hundreds of employees and the families who rely on those people.

If you aren’t fuming mad, you aren’t paying enough attention to the corporate looting that’s occurring right under your noses.

Are some execs just getting a slap on the wrist for abusing their expense, per diem, and allowance accounts? I saw hints of it, but I can't tell for sure.

That's the tricky culture in action.

Houston executives are seriously upset than anyone in Midland is a CL29 other than their hipos who are passing through. Get ready to be forced out of the company if you are a CL29!

Everyone is leaving in waves. You don’t have to plan anymore layoffs! 🤭

Word of advice to Chuck.. you want to treat your employee like numbers? Well your employees will treat this company like a number. We’re just here to do the bare minimum and collect a pay check. It’s ridiculous for anyone to even think about working overtime unless we’re not doing sh-t.

Honestly, mine and many others view of this company has soured over the years after witnessing the wrongful decisions management over the years. Cutting top talent and pausing retirement match?

Then you want your pawns to say it’s all part of us adapting into the future?? well, we’re all adapting to the future too by moving to better companies. You’ll be lucky with any talent at the end of this. Vistance is a failing company that continues to use artificial talent in India to replace top Silicon Valley talent.

Cheap out on employee pool, and your company will be cheap too. And to the investors, you all are stupid AF.

Ruckus and arris folks, continue to leave this place 👏 and one last think f you Chuck!

Anyone attend this past week? Really fun times. The executives are all so nice. I got to get a picture with Charlie he’s a super great guy. Informative info as well.

Reminds me of the movie "The Devils Advocate"

I wonder how many in leadership positions read these topics and comments? Maybe they ignore it all as just annoying noise.

HR and execs behind closed doors...

Hmm...

Anyone know all the details about the fight that happened during the meetup?
