This year was exceptionally depressing

I was among the lucky few who actually had a great team. A few a--holes here and there, but otherwise solid, reliable colleagues. Somehow, we managed to overcome management’s shortcomings, make our tasks easier, and even have fun, or at least feel a sense of accomplishment. Yes, it was a cosmic accident, but it happened. I actually liked my work because of it.

Then the reorg came and destroyed the team. A few exceptionally competent and experienced teammates were let go, some were reassigned, and now my team is hollow and definitely less efficient and productive. The inability to recognize an excellent team says everything you need to know about leadership and management. I can only imagine the end result of reorg.


Elliot group

Please come talk to me. I’ve read your assessment and you were spot on. Amazing that someone from the outside could be that accurate of the needs of a company revitalizing. #1 opportunity was franchise and you were 💯% correct and to settle for anything else is a true loss. Didn’t think it was in your nature to lose! It’s not too late. Huge investment on the line, I would ether pull out or get what you came for$$$$$.


Toxic reorg!

Worst reorg ever!
2 weeks in and no all clear, no conference calls letting you know what's happening. 4 cryptic emails that made about as much sense as Athina getting promoted. No maps of the new structure, just some covert calls letting some people see the details, HR controlling the invitee list. The names of those we lost trickle out slowly usually by a full mailbox on Outlook or an extended vacation status. No relief to the stress caused by uncertainty, rumors already flying about Februarys next slash job. Dead weight is still employed good people let go a dozen days before Christmas! Lopsided top tier brass still clueless, off shoring still in play, cr-ppy raise and bonus is your reward for another year of trying to stay afloat!


Maybe if they promoted people who actually deserved it

none of this would have happened in the first place. I’ve been here for more than ten years, and every round of cuts, reorgs, or leadership changes I’ve witnessed has been about shedding competence while retaining or promoting failure. There have been exceptions, but they are so rare they only prove the rule. When that’s how decisions are made all the way to the top, even major bloodletting is not going to produce the outcomes leadership desires.


Reorg fatigue and shiny new strategy fatigue

What Dan Schulman is proposing isn’t new. You can find old videos of Tami Irwin bragging about how customer centric we’ve become and old videos of Shankar Arumugavelu bragging about how much gen AI has improved things.

We’ve had reorgs that didn’t make much sense every year and a slew of executives who overpromised , underdelivered, and then moved on. Hans, Ronnan Dunne, Manon Brouillette, Shankar, Linda Avery, Diego Scotti, etc…

It’s been years since I’ve worked for other companies. There were problems but I don’t remember it being this bad. I’m worried this might be the new standard in corporate America.


Winning! Another reorg

Vteamers - we are winning! The same leadership team that’s been around for decades and was key to our current market position is energized and excited to bring you another reorg! We look forward to continued chaos and lack of accountability (key hallmarks of nonstop reorgs) to lead us into the future. So fill out those pulse surveys and get in your volunteer hours because it’s the only thing we actually track. We love you, vteam!

Reorg and more work

Every time we go thru these reorganization of markets and job, All they do is run lean and assign more work to their employees who are already overworked, stretched thin and under paid. They never give any more compensation for the extra work and when you call the speak up line, nothing ever gets done. What a joke this company has turned into. You want to cut the fat, Cut all the fat from Ram Krishnan and his entourage who spent hundreds of thousands dollars travel the world like he is running for president. He has done absolutely nothing good for the company!!!! I can think of past leaders who didn’t travel and had a bigger impact than this joker. We have to many layers of management in the facilities and nobody holds ANYBODY accountable. Cut the extra layers and have plant directors who hold people accountable and maybe we can get this company back to number one. Maybe if they actually talked to real people in The round table meetings and not their staged puppets, they would get real talk with real issues in the facilities. This used to be a great company and people carried but now it is a joke and we come just for a paycheck. Turn it around, get employee involvement and get us to actually care again and we can make it great.


Happy?

Following the long and painful reorg process this year, are you ready to engage in exciting fulfilling work within our new improved corporate structure next year? https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jacobmorgan8_chros-are-you-treating-your-job-description-activity-7397272581462163456-NM6o?utm_medium=ios_app&rcm=ACoAAAc_iHQBLGsTopFX-vtxXKQywa93spknJrg&utm_source=social_share_video_v2&utm_campaign=mail


Reorg Thoughts

This reorg was handled so poorly. From the way it was announced to some really hardworking and talented people who ended up losing their roles. PepsiCo made it clear you are only a number, there was no effort to condense the workforce through removing under-performers or individuals ready to retire. It was just a blanket cut of roles. What is even more irritating is there is a new batch of campus hires celebrating their new jobs with PepsiCo on LinkedIn. It’s no surprise it was handled this poorly with Ram and Ramon’s track record. This is just the beginning of it as well, get ready for more in 2026. Elliot has spoken. Really discouraged and disappointed with PepsiCo and its felt the same by many employees.


Reorgs

For what it’s worth, I’m a retired PEP guy who unfortunately had to participate in a few layoffs. In the five or six major ones I went through I can NEVER recall looking at specific salaries or ranges. You normally were just given a target, and they were worth a generic amount (I.e.. an L-8 is worth $x, a Band1 is worth $y, etc.). Doesn’t make it any more humane or appropriate, but just sharing that unless things have changed in the past few years you don’t need to stress specifically on what your exact salary amount is. Good luck to all.


No peace of mind till the second half of January, then?

God knows how many jobs will be wiped out by the coming major reorg. This holiday season will be miserable for everyone, both those already laid off, and the rest of us stuck in a limbo. The economy is terrible, inflation keeps eating away at everything, and most of us can barely cover basic living costs. Who can survive being out of a job for longer than a month or two?


I am the Real Slim Shady

Post after post, thread after thread - I have to correct you all. We hire companies like McKinsey to cut middle management (Dir - VP). Then we "re-org" the remaining headcount (you) as we see fit and fire people managers, and a few of you who speak up too much or we just don't like. Next we go on TV and side with liberal causes to seem woke (wait that stopped, with Chaz...lol never forget that city and M's comment on the 10th or J riding the Segway into the board during his "off air") due to lawyers in DC telling us to with the new administration, so we instead team up with Starlink...but Elon went on TV yesterday saying his $800B val is too low...why because he is ripping the technology off of T-Mobile (and plans to end us with DTC). So with that Morgan drops us $20 today, but it's not over. Stock will dip to $165, test back to $180, and the down to $140...but wait there is more. We will end Prepaid in 1-2 years. Then we will back out of KC/OP slowly lifting us back to $155. But they will realize we don't really do AI, we are a Consumer group of AI, not a Business group...so our stock will test $121...remember? But that's not it...Technology continues to improve, we will cut all of TFB, and start giving away internet and iPhones for free, because we have no other moves...but this destroys our ARPA and eventually..other enter this market with real adjacent businesses and who know AI revenue (not cost), we...go down to $80...well and then we get bought out..at $120/share by Elon....

Yes I am the Real Slim Shady, I am the Satoshi Nakamoto. Want to know anything, ask me...I will reply.


Made it through round 2, 3 rounds left

2 days into the ridiculous new Pepsi plan. 3 to go.
Hey, how are we going to hit plan next year. I’ve got an idea that I think is great. Announcement goes out on Monday about a Reorg. Then let’s fire 15 to 20% of our employees, doesn’t matter if they’re good or not. Then, make people wait up to 5 days to find out their future and offer them a take it or leave offer. Destroy moral and motivation to move the company forward.
What a great idea. That’s why they make the big bucks!


How’s that reorg working for ya?

Do we feel like we finally have the swim lanes straightened out? Is this model going to get us to the top? Or is it a s-show slapped together with all of us plebs suffering through the chaos? The execs know, but it is acceptable from their perspective. We are expendable anyway.
Cutting jobs to the top of the food chain! That will beat xom!


VZ continues to get Toxic

Projects have been cut as part of funding for 2026. But the RIF did not remove those team members. Dan did not announce any new initiatives so now the SDs with no projects are lurking and stealing projects as part of so called reorgs.
The VZ bureaucracy was always bad and now its getting toxic


Any struggling with the new unassigned seating?

I know our field folks will say that office workers are a bunch of cry babies, but I am really struggling with the new open seating environment that we went to post-reorg. Employee experience is an important way to keep people motivated, and Chevron not being willing to give me a permanent desk where I can keep a few things have some pictures of my kids says so much about how they care about employees. I have never felt more like a number.

I'm not naïve enough to think they ever really valued us but I don't think it's too much to ask for office workers to have a small bit of space for continuity for ergonomic safety, and so we don't have to lug our stuff home every night or jam it into a locker.

Let's save a bit of money by cramming more onto a floor, meanwhile c-suite bonuses continue be astronomical.

Want to invest so little in me? Don't expect extraordinary effort. Because you have demonstrated over and over that we are all expendable. And when other companies come knocking, I will think long and hard on if Chevron deserves my loyalty.


Can't keep up with the reorgs at Optum

I'm on my 4th manager in about 12 months. Two of them were laid off just in 2025. I'm taking odds to see if I'll be let go or my manager before the year is done. No matter how hard I work they pile up the work and expect more. It is a system designed to fail as we can't meet the customer demands.


To people worried about their reviews

Don’t be. Or at least, don’t take them to heart. They aren’t genuine assessments. They’re just a convenient cover for cuts and reorgs. A bad review might increase the odds of being let go, but it says nothing about your real performance, and definitely nothing about your actual value. Leadership is focused on finding the easiest and cheapest ways to push people out, whether it’s through reviews or some other pretext. The whole thing is just theatrics.
