#reorg

1. Part of messaging to analysts that OpenText is continuing on its promised transformation as announced when MB was fired. This says, we mean business, we are pulling out people in, we have control over their output. When business declines, pretending to change the dynamic of a component of that failure is part of telling analysts your recovery story.
2. Attrition: Attrition is expected and welcome. There is a stat on this as part of the planing. Any employee contributing at high value or in a niche way is absolutely not on the handpicked RTO list.
3. The list is VERY deliberate. You will note that today's employer communication underscored sales teams are exempt. Sure they gave reasons, but the reality is, OT is in the business of SELLING not INVENTING. OT can and will easily replace any employee who Isn't selling and that includes sellers.
4. This is a preamble to the entrance of the new CEO. More control, more expectation, more oversight is the message.
5. Stay tuned. Several more big announcements coming including restructuring and leadership exits through the fiscal year.
6. Big carve out Q127
7. Big change coming for one of the "core" business units.
8. 1-6 are all part of the process of reducing headcount through voluntary exits (non executive) and golden parachutes for senior leaders.
9. Followed by a HUGE WFR.

Shopify has laid off a number of staff from its partnerships division as part of an overhaul to how it works with external partners, sources have told The Logic.

This is a horrible sign for corporate staff! I have a strong feeling they plan to do mass layoffs prior to 2/2 and that's why they halted the move so suddenly.
Why they didn't figure this out sooner is beyond me. Not much shocks me here though.

I've seen it. You've seen it. Quad. Levi. Etc. Trading and SDP moving in phases to Houston... Executives starting to list their homes in Findlay. Has anyone else been hearing the whispers of moving HQ? I've now heard it from people in a few different departments.

Blue Cross of Idaho has implemented organizational changes aimed at improving efficiency and reducing costs for its customers.

The company, which has been committed to Idaho for over 80 years, stated that these changes will help it focus on serving nearly 600,000 members and continue transforming the healthcare experience in the communities it serves.

Blue Cross confirms that fewer than 90 employees were affected by the changes.

The Blue Cross previously announced layoffs effecting approximately 135 employees during April of 2025, following the early termination of a decade-long dual eligible contract with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (IDHW) in June 2025.

The company said it has built a dedicated team over the past ten years to serve the dual population, providing personalized care coordination for Idahoans with complex and costly medical needs. The loss of the contract led to the closure of that exclusive operating unit.

PL told us a reorg was planned for PHCO. Does anyone have the tea?

Sprinted to this page once the email came out 🤣🤣🤣

and we are still 2 weeks out from Dan's plan? Guessing the leadership team was told by the CEO to figure out how to do it with 15k less people (and maybe even 30k less people if the latest reports are true) and let him know the plan by the end of January so he could take credit for it in early February.

Is the DEG group (In CNIO/Network Operations under SVP-Corey Anthony) moving to AFO (Under SVP-Chris Altomari) soon??? Overheard some chatter about that being a reality come 2/1/2026.

OMCL had a massive hand in ruining my career momentum (RIF'd in 2023). They're doing it again, again with another round of reorg ridiculousness complete with job eliminations and whatever else. All because of greed, short-sighted, barely competent management. Randy and enablers sure are some of the luckiest MFers, of course I'm envious of their personal balance sheets.

Lots of talk on here how LCM is to blame for messing up Corporates, but anyone take a look at the Head of Customer Success, GW?

Not only is this guy one of the most selfish, self involved leaders I have ever seen, he is responsible for offshoring renewals to Mexico City and wasting thousands in failed software initiatives. Thomson Reuters still hasn't billed thousands in renewals, thanks to this guys decision to reorg.

The running joke around the CSM org is he just have dirt on the high ups....

For a guy that singhandledly tanked Gainsight and has never met with a customer, in any other org a "leader" like this would be fired. Thanks for wasting an entire year of work with no backup plan.

If the stockholders only knew how bad recurring revenue is in corporate due to bad decisons they would be horrified.

Anyone hear any more about the communications reorganization? Heard there will be more layoffs right after BXT said he was done.

Indirect sourcing job posts slowing being posted but no information about the new org chart available publicly. Any insights on this?

In the reorg last year every colleague that was not on the Standard pay scale had there job posted at a lower level. Essentially getting your same job back now has you maxed out on pay in the same Grade. Has there actually been any type of an overall pay scale increase besides the meager merit raises which have been taken away from most individuals?

Not sure how other parts of Nike are doing, but by my count this is the 6th reorg in 3 years, all at VP level or higher, honestly I see why people ask what does GT do in Nike, we are too busy to deal with reorgs to do something innovative.... ohh and warm welcome to new VP of Tech

With Pete Richter expected to retire in 2026, there will be quite a significant shift in the structure under him

After the demand centers close up, reorg/shuffling will be discussed by SVPs. This doesn’t necessarily mean layoffs.

Reorgs, layoffs, shuffling people around, ignoring bad management but punishing talent, directionlessness, maintenance/decay mode - all of it has made me completely uninterested in the future of Nike, and definitely in my job. I just can't care anymore. If someone had told me eight years ago when I came on board that this would turn into a "just collect a paycheck" thing, I wouldn't have believed them. It's actually sad.

I’m at a loss. Don’t even know what to say.

We don’t expect large wholesale layoffs before EOY (Jan 31st). Q4 is going fine, holiday event went fine and previous layoffs achieved the expense reduction plan. Therefore, we think everyone can rest easy for awhile.

However, there’s a trifecta of conditions that create concerns for the May (and beyond) time frame:

Leadership is changing and focus from the CEO perspective will likely be to stop the project and dollar bleed from languishing projects and project now out of favor.

Tech leadership is in the target zone to change from service provider to business partner, and when that spotlight shines, discovery of money pit projects will surface. Many will be scrapped along with the tech staff on them.

Focus on evaluating AI efforts will continue and sone projects will be cancelled and new ones will appear. That could add to staff reductions.

Expect to see reorganization efforts to more closely align with business goals. Reorganized always create excess staff, so take that into account.

The next 6-8 weeks will prove to be consequential for those in peril of low performance and the typical calibration type meetings will displace those that are unpopular for one reason or another.

It’ll be May before actions are apparent on new leaders, new goals and new projects actual staffing.

We still think transportation, distribution centers and stores will fare fine in 2026. The risk is primarily in tech, we believe

I have a feeling it's going to be a most excellent year!

What's the chance of another re org after Wheatstone TAR?

Good luck! Especially to the Aerojet folks

Get ready leadership ping pong 🏓 starts

We’ll finally see what the big R&D reorg brings…or takes away.

What org changes to expect in TIS?

They did the humane thing and waited until after the break.

Good luck with your job searches in the new year. Take care all.

Model E will be hit the hardest. Too many people in that org. Lots of LL6 who have no reports. Their roles are scheduled to be axed.

I have yet to experience a reorg or set of cuts that actually resulted in leaner, more efficient teams. The bloat always seems to stay, critical roles disappear as a rule, and the workload ends up being distributed in ways that make even less sense. If they are planning a major reorg now, I dread what things will look like on the other side of it.

I know it can be a stressful time with all the changes happening with Medicare and Medicaid at the end of the month. I've been hearing some concerns about potential reorganizations, and I understand how unsettling that can be. If anyone has any insights on which areas might be affected and when, it would be really helpful to share that information. We're all in this together, and any guidance would be appreciated.

I keep hearing mentions and whispers of reorgs. Anyone have insight to that? What areas are involved and when?

From an article Titled:

"2026 begins with a wave of big-company layoffs"

Large employers are increasingly abandoning the old model of one big layoff in favor of repeated, narrower rounds that keep investors satisfied while leaving employees in a state of chronic uncertainty. I see this shift most clearly in the way Some major firms now talk about "reorienting" or "moving in a new direction," language that masks a strategy of trimming headcount quarter after quarter instead of taking the reputational hit of a single mass cut....

The early 2026 layoff wave is not just a tech story, it is also a tale of heavy industry, energy, and supply chains under pressure. Dec reporting on recent company layoffs shows how Chevron, one of the world's largest energy producers, is slashing up to 20% of its global head count as part of a sweeping restructuring, a move that illustrates how Oil and gas firms are using the current moment to reset their cost base. That same roundup of corporate cuts details how Dec has become a kind of annual reckoning point, with a "Layoffs List" that now includes Chevron alongside telecoms, automakers, and tech giants in a single ledger of recent company layoffs.

Anyone know what’s gonna happen? I keep hearing RIFs but also massive reorgs?

Be ready

LRs are coming to US Commercial in the 2H. Area, Operation and Region consolidation will impact ODs, SSEM, RMs and SEMs.

I see that the new chair and interim CEO align well with BP's legacy of stupid decisions, which are communicated in the worst possible manner.

I wonder why do they hate the employees so much? To drop such news on Christmas Eve - they have no shame.

For Castrol's employees that only brings more uncertainty. Had we stayed with BP - we would know what's coming. Had they sold us 100% - we would know what's coming, just ask Chat GPT about the previous acquisitions, and you can resonably deduce what might happen.

But this partial sell/joint venture? What a f... mess. It's gonna be organizational nightmare. And yet another reorg and structural changes for Castrol's employees.

(To any members of LT that might be reading this: HONESTLY, WE JUST WANNA DO OUR JOBS AND GET PAID FOR IT. JUST LEAVE US ALONE - 6 YEARS OF CONSTANT STUPID CHANGES IS ENOUGH - AND LET US DO OUR JOBS)

I would bet my yearly salary that in years to follow this will be regarded as yet another failure.

Just look at how the market reacted. ZERO movement. the price after announcement is exactly the same as it was before.
