#organizationalchange

Has anyone else had constant org changes, and it’s not all adding up? As we approach the next layoff round, it’s getting very eerie around here. I’m a bit scared. However, it also doesn’t make sense to do all these org changes only for us to be laid off. I can’t make sense of it.

When is the product reorg actually happening? Just get it over with already!

Southwest Airlines is reportedly considering layoffs despite achieving record revenue and earnings growth. The airline cited rising fuel costs and a need for organizational efficiencies as reasons for potential cost-cutting measures. This follows a previous layoff of 75 employees in May due to restructuring. The company is refining its organizational structure to simplify processes and streamline decision-making. Despite significant fuel expense increases, Southwest experienced strong customer engagement and record memberships.

Hearing rumours that OAL as org might not exist or will be moved. Is this path to cut more jobs?

Tomorrow, 7/23, executives are expected to roll out yet another centralization announcement. Translation: another reorg, another org chart, and another round of “strategic alignment.” We’ll see what lies ahead.

Just my opinion, but after the last organizational shake-up, I wouldn’t be surprised if history repeats itself.

One question I keep coming back to: A.C. championed the “ways of working” in the previous CXO organization. Has anyone objectively looked at whether those same approaches may have contributed to some of the challenges the organization faced?

Hopefully the new organization has a different outcome—but time will tell. 🍿

We are evolving our structure and operating model by aligning leadership and decision-making more directly to the needs of each business, while centralizing select capabilities that create value across the organization.

Monday.com is implementing significant workforce reductions, impacting approximately 20% of its global employees. This decision stems from a strategic shift to adapt to the evolving AI landscape. The company is moving from a work management platform to one designed for AI agents and human collaboration. This restructuring aims to streamline operations and capture new market opportunities presented by AI. Monday.com emphasizes that this is not a cost-cutting measure but a necessary organizational change for future competitiveness.

A common plan within the ABU is to just wait until 2028. Is it certain that's the next big reorg or can we hope for smaller changes before then?

There’s a journalist quietly speaking with former Nike employees about their experiences during the John Donahoe era.

If the reporting is thorough, the sources are credible, and the facts can be independently corroborated, it could become a very significant account of that period in the company’s history.

If you spent years feeling ignored, marginalized, or mistreated, consider sharing your experience. Organizational cultures are ultimately defined not by the messaging they produce, but by the experiences of the people who lived them.

Are SEs going to become AEs and AEs will become LRed?
Seems that way to me with the direction of tech. Teachings sales to engineers is easier than teaching engineering to sales ppl. With agents, I see a push to consolidate this to a single role. sink/swim ppl. An overlays and CX...good luck survirving Agentic-pocolypes

MO advised that the company will commit to providing a date by the end of July to confirm whether roles are impacted by the new organisational design. Has anyone heard any intel on numbers, percentages, or which parts of the business are mostly impacted? It all seems very quiet… the calm before the storm.

Are SEs being "pooled"? I don't think I will have the same success if SEs are pooled and not 1:1 with us.

Information management firm OpenText has announced another round of workforce reductions. Approximately 400 global employees are affected by this latest cut. The company stated these changes are part of ongoing organizational planning. OpenText has implemented a business optimization plan that includes workforce reductions. This follows previous layoffs earlier in the year.

Cyber Florida has undergone a department restructuring, leading to layoffs. This organizational change follows a recent leadership transition within the institution. The Florida Center for Cybersecurity was established by the Florida Legislature in 2014. The exact number of affected employees is not specified in the provided text. The article indicates the organization is at an inflection point.

I joined USAA as an intern few months back, hoping to build my career here. After hearing too many good thinks on the web. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing enough that I decided to leave for another bank last week.

The biggest issue was the constant organizational changes. Teams and priorities kept shifting, making it difficult to focus on meaningful work or feel any sense of stability. On top of that, budget constraints seemed to impact every decision, resulting in limited resources and frequent compromises.

The work culture was heavily driven by micromanagement. Every story and task required excessive oversight from the product manager, leaving very little room for engineers to make decisions or take ownership. Instead of being trusted to deliver, it often felt like every small detail had to be monitored and approved.

The return-to-office policy made things even worse. Employees were expected to be in the office four days a week regardless of personal circumstances. It didn't matter if you had been on an overnight production call and barely slept—you were still expected to show up in the office the next morning. There was little flexibility or consideration for employee well-being. The work life balance is zero here. Its strange that USAA is still claiming themselves as best companies to work for and misled the future employees

To sum it up, the environment felt rigid, exhausting, and not conducive to learning or growth, especially for someone early in their career. I eventually decided to move on and accepted an opportunity at another bank that offers a healthier work environment, better trust in employees, and a much more sustainable work-life balance. Felt like a titanic to me and only course of action was to jump off before it sinks.

Rumors are flying that on August 3 there is going to be some kind of announcement of the finishing touches of the organizational change but with resulting layoffs. Hopefully just the PIPs will be let go?

So the latest org announcing clearly was missing the “G” in GNT. What exactly does this mean? And what are everyone’s speculations on the network org changes?

VCA Animal Hospitals is implementing widespread layoffs affecting nearly 200 corporate and veterinary staff across North America. These workforce reductions are part of a larger restructuring of the company's corporate headquarters in Los Angeles. Additionally, a hospital in the Bay Area will be permanently closed, impacting all its employees. The company cited organizational changes to continue investing in its services and supporting its workforce through these transitions. These actions reflect broader market recalibrations within the veterinary industry.

We now have more Vice Chairman's than business leaders - we have a Chief Growth Officer who NEVER grew anything ever and a Chief Performance Officer who presided over the largest DECLINE in performance in the companies history. You can't make this up. Isn't the CHRO supposed to be in charge of organization structure? Time for Takis to clean house with all of this overhead.

Adventist Health Systems West announced upcoming layoffs. A Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) was issued. The company is eliminating 115 roles across its western division. This change results from a new centralized organizational structure. Over 80 affected employees have accepted new positions.

This has to be a new record and 3M Management deserves some kind of reward!
So basically it's been just a few days since 75% of the GSC in Poland was informed that they're going to Genpact and the remaining 25% are being moved to a different 3M entity. These people were quite optimistic in this s*itty situation, at least they won't experience the pure chaos that GP has to offer, right? Well the dream lasted only until early this week when a certain Town Hall was held for one of the departments where management was happy to announce that "some" processes are going to move to a new 3M entity in India 😀 Just imagine this for a second, having a bit of relief because you were about to get a better option than Genpact and then finding out - just a few days later! - that you were going to be sold to 3M India instead of Genpact 😂 Actually this is now a worse option than goong to GP, they will get to work at GP for about a year, while 3M India has the potential to swallow you up way faster... The ink on the contracts these people signed with 3M Poland didn't even dry... This has to be a record even in the corpo world, congratulations 3M!

What could go wrong...?

Organisational announcement only... for now.

Absolutly unreal how horrible this change is being "planned" and delivered today.

I joined Citibank London very recently. Just last week my director announced that they’re leaving the team as part of a new org structure and our team will be reporting to a new director.
I’m worried if this could be a prelude to layoffs. Does anyone know of any news in London?

Liberty has been offshoring and getting rid of entire departments quietly since they announced the “don’t go make a 10 year career plan here” back in Oct of 2023. They have cut the inbound subrogation department in half over the last 7-8 months using PIP plans and forcing a small handful of employees to make lateral moves to other depts. They’ve offshored all jobs cut to India. The company has been trying to keep things quiet with secrets everywhere. The Team Managers have been traveling all over the country for “quality training”. Constantly talking about focusing on quality which is just a smoke screen for putting people on PIPs for weak reasons to get out of paying severance and unemployment. They will cut the inbound subrogation department down to about 25-30 people state side and then might do an outright layoff of them because this whole department is being offshored to India while they try to continue to innovate with their AI. There are constant organizational changes being announced. This company’s “record profits” are coming from the selling off of foreign assets and not because of their premiums. There have been talks about customers being charged in full for policy period premiums and then having their policies cancelled a week or two later with no refunds given. The company is current being sued for undervaluing auto total loss and home owners claims (which they have been). They made changes to metrics at the start of the year to make them harder to meet when inventory is low, because they’re setting everyone up for failure. This company is going to lose insane amounts of money on those total loss and home owners laws suits. Why those running the company would risk PIP’ing so many employees, when they’re already involved in all these other lawsuits and can’t take the blow back or bad PR from those, let alone from the mess they’re making out of downsizing/offshoring jobs is definitely a unique choice to make. Will anyone really be surprised if there is another lawsuit soon from all the Swiss Cheese PIP layoffs? This company is a sinking ship and anyone working there should look for something else.

Srini just said it. They will continue to make 'smaller' changes.

So, changes and layoffs will continue...

MU Health Care announced an organizational redesign. This redesign resulted in 74 employee layoffs. The health system also eliminated 150 total positions, with 76 already vacant. Four Hy-Vee Quick Care clinics will close due to declining demand. These changes aim to improve financial sustainability and operational performance.

My prediction is once Kyle Malady retires, you will see consolidation back to VZ 1.0 and then you will see mass reductions in overlaps across two orgs back to one.

I could be wrong but that’s where I believe this is headed / kind reason Sampath out and absorbed without replacement.

Let’s see how this all plays out …

Curious whether this week’s announcement felt completely out of the blue for most teams, or if others have already been seeing changes over the last 6–12 months (leadership departures, consultant involvement, role reviews, org changes, layoffs, etc.). Trying to understand whether these conversations have been happening broadly across Centene or only in certain areas.

ServiceNow recently laid off hundreds of employees. This organizational restructuring aligns talent with its AI focus. A source confirmed a three-figure number of roles were eliminated. Affected functions included sales and product marketing. The company continues to invest in AI capabilities and new talent.

Curious people’s thoughts or knowledge of Gunjans announcement from last week announcing the new AiDI org and the change of moving Ankit under CBB product. Seems like a big change that will shift how we work but can’t quite piece it all together, and if it’s viewed as a positive move. What say you, layoff people?

One of the most parasitic creatures in fidelity is architects. Most of them are completely useless and talks rubbish in the calls. They are the biggest bottleneck to delivery. Why do we need these low calibre people?.Most of these people are from one nationality . Yesterday i was in a call with architect and when questioned he said he believes in some pattern so its good and the GCL ( another guy came to the role without any talent) agreed to that .
The frustration grows when observing the broader organizational structure. During layoffs, good individual contributors were let go while many SVPs and VPs remain, despite having no idea what fidelity is or what kind of projects their teams are working on. Similar to the architects described, many of these leaders are low calibre individuals who received promotions during the 2018-2022 timeframe. This accumulation of non-contributing roles creates significant obstacles to actual progress and delivery.

In what was once a somewhat protected role, we are now being told that the EA roles are now changing to a worldpay model. I’m fairly new to Global Payments and I’m worried about my job now. This place is toxic and creates anxiety for their employees. I work with a great bunch of admin gals (and some admins guys) but I’m feeling the anxiety of what others feel when they don’t know what’s to come.

Uber is reducing its workforce within its People and Places division. This department encompasses human resources, recruitment, and workplace facilities. The company is eliminating 23% of the roles in this specific division. These changes are intended to address organizational complexity and fragmentation. Uber confirmed that artificial intelligence was not a factor in these particular job cuts.

Canon global is artificially propping up the stock value with huge buybacks at the end of May and throughout June. They did the exact same in the 2 months right before the RIF bloodbath in early July 2024.

If CUSA leadership is planning another wave of consolidations—particularly targeting specialized or manual internal roles to make way for the automated, U.S.-based remanufacturing model, the post-July 4th window (specifically between July 6 and July 20, 2026) is the exact historical and operational sweet spot.

If you're trying to gauge the temperature in your department over the next few weeks, watch for mid-June invites to "organizational alignment" meetings, sudden, quiet audits of your division’s specific workflow volumes, or any mentions from direct managers of "proof of life" for your department to rationalize its value.

Question in title. Alleged rumors that everything is supposed to be kept quiet for awhile

Our VP scheduled a 15 minute meeting today regarding an "organizational update." Has anyone else had similar meetings or received any news today? Curious whether this is part of broader organizational changes or if there may be another round of layoffs occurring. Any insight would be appreciated.
