#reorg

Anyone hearing what areas might be impacted? So far planning and IM merging are the rumblings.

This past week I know 2 people from different groups who were told they need to move to the same office as their manager for co-location. Thought it was random but now confirmed that this is the next big thing.
Not sure what happens if your manager is on the other side of the country but guessing some major changes are coming like re-orgs ??!!

Anyone have any insight into any bombshell set to be dropped at today's all associate meeting? Is this when they lay the RTO onto people, or any new reorg%alignments/RIFs planned that will come out today?

Hans is stepping back to pursue his passion of assembling IKEA furniture and moonlighting at the cafeteria, where he will excel at cooking mediocre meatballs.

What do we think of the new CEO? More reorgs, more woke, more su-king?

When will middle management get changed over. If Uniti replaces upper management then they need to replace lower management.

Absolutely nothing will change, except many of us will be jobless and replaced by cheaper offshore hires. At this point, I’m starting to think those who got kicked out first might be the luckiest. I can’t imagine enduring more months of this mess, only to land in a gutted team with heavier workloads and an even worse company culture.

Nov or Dec roll out and now none surprised.

after months of "big bla bla reorg" I was moved to "superstar team", its almost 2 months and actually I have no idea what they are trying to achieve.

I thought previous place was mad, but at least i could test something, raise a bug and wait forever for anyone to care... or do more stuff/testing.. something meaningful.
sometimes it was quite sensible.

Here?
100% headless chickens flow, they run from one side to other developing secretly something then dropping it and doing something else. Total madness repeating buzz words and hype phrases. Worst of all are the secrets within "team". backlog is full of bullsh-t, but PO jump in and secretly give some weird tasks to teammates.

Caterpillar reorganization in 3rd quarter to help reduce share price declines. Caterpillar has issued layoffs and retirement packages to salaried trained and experienced employees while hiring agency reduced cost workers and recruiting college interns.

Read carefully and between the lines. HR expanding- that’s to handle rifs, see if they can use people who job cut by AI. Looks like IT stuff going there, Lots of “alignment”. Good luck

Expect layoffs at Senior Manager and RMM level come January!

I don't have the words to explain the total chaos that today was! It was total confusion! Nobody knows anything! No answers! This is total nonsense! Somebody should be held accountable! Did anyone else feel the frustration that many of us did?

Can someone share what the new reorg details that were shared with the company yesterday? Curious because I saw something about banking and the leader JJ. I used to work in that area. Curious what is going on.

Several managers and ICs let go in the SC org couple of days ago. They are doubling down on their SC 2.0 agenda and pushing out anyone who doesn’t fall in line. Feels more like ego than strategy. Morale is sinking, and they’re going to lose a lot more people if this keeps up.

LRs coming soon in Nov (internal sources)

was a nice big air burger, reorg in November

This can only end well. You have to open up your throat so you don't choke on the sc----g that is Windows. Sure, it's unwanted but you will enjoy it. Certainly, this effort will result in a resurgence of hiring elimination of RIFs.

In a new internal memo, Windows and Surface boss Pavan Davuluri has announced that Microsoft is bringing the teams that make the core of Windows back into the Windows organization.
...
The move comes as Microsoft promises the future of Windows to be one that is agentic, prioritizing voice input in addition to mouse and keyboard usage, and becoming an AI-powered OS that can conduct tasks and actions on your behalf. Davuluri even says that the restructure will help the company “deliver our vision of Windows as an Agentic OS”

Stay tuned

What do we think about HR selections?

As the dust settles on this cluster fu-k of a reorg, I can’t help but think back to Agile. Remember when that was going to save everything? And how performative people proclaimed its benefits, even if it was just a “mindset”? And yet - when was the last time anyone even mentioned it.

And now, the same LT that forced that down our throat with the delusional thinking of how it would save us, are trying proclaiming ENGINE as the next savior. The emperor has no clothes kids. Time to let them know.

For years Nike has been in the habit of re-orging to a new formation, then clamping down on hiring so the vision is never fully resourced or executed. When the results don’t meet expectations, they respond with another re-org, leaving teams in a constant spin cycle of change. It’s hard to bring your best innovative thinking when you’re just trying to figure out WTF is going on.

There has been some rumors that Aneesha Shanoy might be leaving the company and that a new Revenue Operations restructure could be happening in Q4.

Has anyone else heard about this or have more insight? Would love to get a clearer picture if anyone’s in the loop.

This week the 2 year long project of the GeO revaMP will finally be completed with CS shifting roles and APLA being absorbed into Amercias and APAC. CS will shift to Vp of Nike Direct and SG will be taking a new role outside of NIKE TBA.

The rumours swirling here mostly don’t seem to discuss major sale of assets, but I don’t see why they would be meeting with federal ministers if there wasn’t something bigger than an office relocation in the works.

This will mean that APLA will be broken up and CS will shift roles to VP/GM global Nike direct as SG will depart for a new role elsewhere.

Seems in IT Services a lot more outside managers were hired this past year including a VP with no prior TI experience. In hindsight, I think some were brought in just for cost-cutting and reorg.

200mm hit hard this quarter, 300mm will get a reorg in Q4. For those that survived, don’t get too comfortable. Plan was always a 2 phase reduction and reorg.

Drummer has added so many layers, some people are 10 layers from the top in Teams unbelievable. Drummer should go, D Keasey top, Regional Lead, Country, Account, Team Lead, and Employee. There should be no more than 6 levels. This is where the money is being blown. This needs fixing ASAP.

Let’s discuss the shale and tight post reorg mess. Over two months in following wave 1 and people still don’t know what is going on with workflows with minimal guidance from leadership because they don’t know. Folks at the working level are doing their best to figure it out. morale is at an all time low. When will the management stars and their followers who designed the new org be held accountable for the mess.

The Appalachian area isn't going to the common operating model like the rest of operations. We were told today, we are never changing. The current model saved jobs is what the rumor is.

Has anyone else heard this outside of Appalachian?

A lot of reps are nervous about what's coming in the future. A high percentage of job reqs were canceled. I am good with my numbers, but am still unsure of job security.

As the title states, how are you folks fairing? Are you counting down the days? Received offer of permanent employment? Teaching ENGINE?

HR Reorg.. what a joke! Rotating favorites is the new strategy. What will their resumes say.. I laid off people when we had the category offense, I laid off people in the consumer offense, I laid off the laid off people… ha ha ha.
The CHRO is a joke, her minions are a joke.

Today, myself and several of my colleagues in Learning and development were laid off in a round of “reorg.” This was the third reorg in 3 years. They had announced a reorg over a month ago, but when executives were asked about layoffs during a meeting, they evaded the question. Today, they also refused to disclose how many people were affected.

This company is absurd. Every October, they conduct layoffs. The executives should be the ones laid off.

Im still waiting to hear about the severance package. Anyone know?

We've had so many reorgs in the last few years and the only thing that changes after it's done is we have fewer employees who have to work more for the same money. Nothing else ever changes. What kind of pathetic, incompetent leadership only uses layoffs to prop themselves up?

Today, all the titles changed in the US, people in different functions seem to be in similar job families now. Sign of a new reorg?

Anyone have any real information regarding the all hands call for the centralized team under Hristov and King? Last minute email went out mid afternoon.

When is it happening? Org chart mock-ups, hiring freezes.... fess up if you know!

The reorg has dragged on so long, and conditions have gotten so bad, that some of us almost hope to be let go, and feel no relief when we aren’t. Clearly, nobody at the top gives two sh--s about how this drawn-out anxiety is grinding us down. On a personal level alone, it’s brutal. It’s beyond exhausting. This state of mind leadership has driven us to is not normal, nor is it healthy.
