Nut Up

All you need is charisma to lead when things are good. Things are not good and need to be led with tough decisions and swiftly.
For tech he needs to cut at least 2/3 of employees and give the remaining a 5% raise to get folks out of slump. Cut all the new or recently promoted leaders as well. They are not smart and useless. Run it on bare bones until things turn around.
I’m in tech so can’t speak for other areas.
Will be a big mistake with the stock so low if we come out of layoffs with only 500-1k gone.


99% perform basic work that does not justify H1B visa

Tech companies have loaded up on H1Bs to keep employees enslaved and threaten US citizens with constant layoffs.

Now Open AI and Anthropic will ensure these companies do not exist in future along with all the H1Bs.

H1Bs are running over each other to prove no one needs to be employed anymore as codex can do all the work.

Coding is no longer a speciality skill for which H1B visa need to be granted.

Revoke all H1B and Green card petitions immediately.


Future (let's say 5 years from now)

my prediction and I am a 2nd year senior manager with iffy prediction track record.

five years from now, ACN is likely a smaller, leaner, more AI-centered firm with less revenue tied to labor-heavy delivery... more tied to high-end consulting, governance work, and complex project/enterprise orchestration... and still facing lower headcount leverage and margin pressure than in its pre-AI model.

I see Accenture at roughly 70% of current revenue (lets say in 5 years), with headcount down much more than revenue because AI compresses labor faster than it ki-ls total demand...

Now let's look Bear vs Bull cases, i am in the middle:

Bears: Think in terms of an impact across the board bears will say this:

  • Mgmt Consulting - High Value Add (Research, planning, transformation - advanced thinking LLM models are really good at this - it'll slash demand by 50%)
  • Vendor Selection (each advanced LLM model beats Gartner, things are analyzed and customized in less than 8 hours of work - u still need consulting, but you need 2 guys instead of 12)
  • Design Systems Work (see above, the same applies)
  • Dev (Agentic is going to cannibalize this up to 80%)
  • Testing (Same as above, Agentic works - writes and executes scripts, u just need oversight and metrics, this will take a 70% haircut).
  • Training and Change/Communication (Same as above)
  • PMO (Still needed, probably 25% less or so)
  • Management (Still needed, probably minimal impact)
  • Overhead (Contracts, finance, HR, Still needed but will get streamlined extra 20% over time).

Bulls will counter with this, and the Wall Street seems to be more on the Bears side at least for now:

  • Mgmt Consulting - High Vlue Add (AI strategy, operating model, transformation - LLMs generate options, but exec alignment grows - demand shifts up the stack)
  • Vendor Selection (LLMs speed anlysis, but audit and risk increase - still need validation and accountability, fewer analysts more senior roles)
  • Design Systems Work (AI builds components, but enterprise standardization at scale grows - governance and consistency expand)
  • Dev (Agentic boosts output, but backlog expands - fewer devs per project, more projects overall)
  • Testing (Agentic automates scripts, but continuous validation and monitoring grow - shift to quality engineering)
  • Training and Change/Communication (More tools, faster change - structured adoption and change mgmt expand)
  • PMO (Faster delivery, more coordination across AI, data, business - leaner but more critical)
  • Mgmt (Fewer layers, higher span of control - more intense decision making)
  • Overhead (More AI licensing, compliance, governance - leaner ops, higher complex.)

Is anyone left at the (old) Midtown ATL HQ?

Former employee here, I drove past the 8th Street HQ the other day, what a sad sight. The tech bar and demo space on the ground floor (along 8th) have been vacated and it looks like most floors in the north tower are empty, too. I guess Atleos employees are not long for this world -- will they move to Brinks? -- and the stock market seems to have given up on Voyix. I'm guessing Fun Thursdays left with Mike and Owen. (And nobody should give those guys a pass on what happened to NCR -- a lot of this could've been avoided if they'd acted sooner.)

Anyway, that's a lovely carcass of an HQ. I hope it finds a worth tenant soon.


This will haunt FIS for years to come

This is so messed up and it's going to cost us so much in the long run. So much knowledge is about to walk out the door and there's no real plan on how to mitigate it. There's also loss in reputation and resentment from people who were transferred against their wishes. Bad decisions all around.

Boeing Acquisition Brings Mixed Job Outlook for Spirit Workers

Boeing's return to Wichita offers job stability for many production workers. However, Spirit AeroSystems management roles may face layoffs or relocation. Economists note that Wichita's lower labor costs could attract more Boeing production. This could boost manufacturing jobs in the region.

Layoffs

So, basically the only thing there keep is Data Center Technicians IC5 and IC6 and only until they figure out how to Automate the manual work replacing cables and drives.

Consistent Layoffs with Inconsistent Leadership

YETI now has a track record of annual layoffs around the February timeframe in the hopes of propping up the stock price, along with a revolving door of leadership for those unable to constantly be a "yes" person for a CEO, who has a constant fear of losing control while repeatedly implementing negatively disruptive changes and holding others to account for those decisions.
