Rumors are that VZ employees will be rebadged to Deloitte, has anyone has confirmed news? Is it applicable to Global Employees or just Onsite (USA)?

Can anyone share any BTC or KLTC success stories? I presume we have above average ppl at the highest levels of management. We’ve been on this TC journey now for a while and should be able to judge whether or not we should double down or reset our global talent management strategy. Are there truly tangibly positive results?

I ain’t in America but the reorg over there has got me thinking about what happens in my region and country. Has anyone heard much? Is the USA the first to restructure and then other countries follow?

You heard it here first! Grouping the ROW together simply doesn't work!

New Geo Structure;

North America / Latin America - VP, TP - HQ: Beaverton and Mexico City
Europe / Middle East / Africa - VP, CG - HQ: Hilversum
Greater China / Asia Pacific - VP, CS - HQ: Shanghai and Seoul

Simplified to 3 Geos and taking advantage of geographic proximity.

Taking all PTO together this year but it’s not enough for my needs. I need an extra week or two - manager says they can permit remote work if it’s a short duration but with RTO 5x from Sep 1, I’m worried 😟 This is for North America.

Will HR & Global Mobility need to get involved? Any recent success stories of folks who have navigated this?

The global economy now uses roughly half as much energy per dollar of output as it did in 1980, helping cushion oil shocks.

Oil prices have risen sharply with the latest war in the Middle East, reviving memories of the 1970s. The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a route for about a quarter of seaborne oil trade, represents a major global supply shock. The damage will depend largely on how long the disruption lasts. Oil markets were well supplied heading into the disruption, strategic stock releases added barrels, and buoyant financial markets helped limit broader tightening in financial conditions.

Beyond these immediate buffers, two structural factors have also cushioned the blow. First, the world economy is far more energy efficient than it was 50 years ago. Each dollar of output now requires roughly half as much energy as it did in 1980.

Second, the energy system is more diversified. Oil’s share of the mix has fallen from about half in 1973 to less than a third today. Oil remains the world’s leading fuel, but it no longer dominates.

Even so, these cushions do not protect countries from pain evenly. Ultimately, the severity of the shock at the country level depends on two things: how much oil an economy imports and how much policy space its government has to respond. More than 80 percent of countries are net oil importers, and the most vulnerable entered this episode with limited room in public budgets to shield households and businesses. That is why the same global shock can become a much harsher national one where import dependence is high and policy space is thin.

DL mentioned on the Global Solutions all team call that apparently Claude Code access was only meant for him and a few others at AVP/SVP level - instead, everyone that ultimately report to them globally got access. I wonder what the actualy budget was?

Just a general thread for Optum Global Capability Center Chennai. What do we know, where are we going, how will things play out, the impact on the rest of the work force.

Any impact on Global Operations Supply Chain today?
If any, location and role?

God Bless everyone. Hopefully none.

Open forum. What functions do you find relevant for moving to shared services?

Which functions and teams coild be ki-led around the world and why?

So will our new fearless leader MO drop any bombshells during the global webcast next week? She’s gotta say something of substance, right?

Does this include functions like Change Management, Learning & Development, Portfolio, etc?

The other post misread the email so clarifying here. They are consolidating roles outside of phk and itc INTO PHK and ITC. This does not mean no PHK cuts, it just means that they are not necessarily going to cut all or even the majority of the 1400 roles in PHK.

GK wanting us to be a category 2 bank is the real reason for RTO and offshoring more and more.

Buildings give us more assets and offshoring more of a global footprint.

Research to learn more.

Not about collaboration, which we already knew.

UKI Just got a message through that Global have cancelled monday's town hall watch-along. I'm assuming that's because they've cancelled the town hall itself- it'll be interesting to find out what's going on there.

Have you seen the latest Drudge Report? Telegraph report?

Employers are being asked to have their employees telecommute due to Global Oil Crisis.

Oil may go as high as 180 a barrel.

People urged to work from home in global oil crisis

With the need for LNG, what’s happening with Goldenpass? More f ups or Global projects blaming the contractor.

The Cigna Group confirmed plans for approximately 2,000 layoffs. These job cuts will occur worldwide by the end of this month. The affected workers comprise less than three percent of its global workforce. Cigna stated the decision aims for greater business efficiency. Connecticut-based roles are expected to be minimally impacted.

Anime streaming service Crunchyroll is undergoing workforce restructuring in 2026. These changes reportedly affect HR, Product, and E-commerce divisions. Employees have begun announcing their departures on LinkedIn. The company links these job cuts to its global expansion plans. Crunchyroll aims to grow its customer base in regions like India and Latin America.

BCG must be great sales people as they have no idea how to operate or run an energy business but we still listen to them and act on their recommendations. The Global Ops Reorganization will be an absolute clusterf. No body will know who’s doing what and mark my words, there will be a negative impact

Thinking the tech reorg will mainly impact global. There’s no tech team in EMEA as all those jobs were transferred to ITC and PTC. GC is running their own tech stack which means they’ll have little to no impact. Converse business was impacted which likely means, their tech will go. That only leaves us with the guys in the global where the bulk of tech sits and APLA.

What are the global SEC folks working on now? Or are they even working? People in that org are being laid off during every wave.

town hall says “leverage global teams”.
I might as well look for another job at this point.

How will the global supply situation affect our business? With refining already facing tough margins, will this have a trickle down effect for jobs?

1. They'll be global
2. US layoffs to be executed in Q4. Other regions usually take longer for legal reasons.
3. Exact US timing likely to be around 3/20 earnings. I heard people say both before and after.
4. PHK teams with members in ITC or PTC are likely to be fully outsources (MG spoke of this).
5. Management to be flattened. Expect fewer directors with more direct reports.
6. Nike is expanding the ITC office.
7. Outsourcing part of the mix.

What else?

In the long run, we'll all work for ICBC

Do we know how many employee were layoff globally ?

Not sure how many have heard of Project Converge, but it starts tomorrow. It is secretly tied to multiple initiatives in WAVE 2025 where we are marching towards significant staff reduction costs since Worldpay has merged into our organization. Drive of AI and Robotic Automation is extreme at this point. Will be a tough tough year. Good luck tomorrow.

What are your predictions for the type of changes we will see in July 1st?

Software/program that basically makes Ramesh sound like Bob? Not their exact words, but basically what they were getting at. What a slap in the face to our global partners also, if the language barrier is having such an impact on our business or you’re embarrassed that you hire offshore individuals maybe you should consider changing your business practices. SMH - how embarrassing

I see there were layoffs in several other countries this week, but nothing here, right?

EXL is the global partner for offshore workers. Why does a company send large chunks of their work offshore?

If you’re in Global Ops you received a 226 page document that apparently shows the entire nation of India got a title promotion. Wild stuff.
