#reorganization

Does anyone have any insight on how they have handled previous reorgs? Do they assign you to a new role? Are you given options? Do you have to reapply? Is it simply this is your new position starting this date or you can leave?

Dan talked about eliminating bureaucracy and said communication below Band 5 isn’t flowing effectively.

The reality is that nothing will change unless the organization is truly flattened. My organization just went through a massive reorg, and I still have two layers of Band 6 management above me—even though I’m also a Band 6 employee.

If leadership is serious about reducing bureaucracy, the conversation can’t stop at messaging. It has to include eliminating the excessive layers between individual contributors and the executive team.

Also I want to know what AD will do differently than D and Sr. Director.

Anyone heard about IT rebadging? It seems it is coming soon.

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.

Learning Solutions (Christy Pletcher's team) is doing a reduction today and some realignment. I don't know how many just yet.

Fuji Reorganization and Employment Security

Today, announcements were made to directors regarding who will be assigned to the newly formed Tri-State region. Not a surprise at all—leaders who report to Trevose, a popular site in the Freedom Region for HQ employees who’d rather avoid central Philadelphia, were significantly more likely to retain their roles. From Keystone, only one VP was kept, and fewer than a third of directors were retained.

Two by two, three by three, four by four, and there they go. Replaced by Dan's new army. Farewell Jeff C.

So AC is leaving. And VA consolidating power under him and empire building by adding VPs under him.
Honestly though what were ACs accomplishments? Heck what were his R&Rs? I never really understood what he did.

Any word on Value layoffs? I have heard about a reorganization of people. But, no specific details on how people will shift around in the DK organization. I suppose with the departure of Ken this was inevitable, and with the serious reduction of resources and capex we have alot of “strategist” and product managers not really doing anything.

I wish leaders would remember how this anticipation made them feel. Please comment anonymously. Do the right thing.

Annual mass re-org/layoffs rumors actually have any traction or are we jumping the g-n?

The function I work in had a global team call today. It was framed as an update about the reorganization. Leadership did not have ANY new information. They literally said what was previously announced in an email, then did 20 minutes of Q&A that mostly consisted of responses like “We are early in the process. We don’t know that quite yet, but we’ll tell you when we have more information”. Waste of time.

With all the constant talk regarding RIF and layoffs. Plus, rumors of a reorganization of the lines of business. The company has not asked for any reduction of headcount on the union side. What gives?

Do we think there’s going to be another reorg coming soon?

Anyone has insider information what’s pod going to look like ? What will middle management do in the new pod structure?

Verizon's CXO org will see a significan reduction in headcount on 7/16/2026. Once they make the announcement, then the remaining personnel will see a reorganization where they move to other parts of business / organization is disbanded.

I don’t understand what they are doing for real. Someone please explain it to me

• Stopped using Scrum @ Scale and reorganized teams → "industry-wide" TDD initiative.
• Continuous release date slippage → mandatory weekend work.
• Core Shanghai teams axed with little to no notice → work shifted to other geos; quality suffered
• AI must be used X hours per day & new work requires AI readable specs or out - Project Maverick
• On site junior engineers welcome; remote senior years get the boot

Despite these changes, little is being done to address the fundamental issues within the product development process at its core: Isilon OneFS has been in maintenance mode for over a decade. AI spending extended product life support temporarily, but this shift to layoff remote US staff truly signals the end of the product.

Legaltech startup Darrow has laid off approximately one-third of its staff, impacting around 60 employees. This significant reduction includes many legal analysts who were instrumental in developing the company's AI platform. Despite being profitable for three consecutive years, Darrow cited market evolution and technological advancements as reasons for reorganization. The company aims to become a more agile and multidisciplinary organization to support future growth.

Verizon is doing INCREDIBLY well. Maybe the greatest corporate success anyone has ever seen. People come up to me with tears in their eyes and say, “Sir… how do you lay off thousands of people while the stock keeps going down?” I say, “It’s called winning. You wouldn’t understand.”

The Fake News says, “The stock is down.” Wrong! It’s a beautiful strategic decline. Very advanced. The smartest people are saying they’ve never seen anything like it.

Every week there’s another reorg, another layoff, another AI announcement. Tremendous momentum. Nobody restructures better than Verizon. Nobody. Believe me.

What major news or announcements will drop tomorrow on the 2H call? Will there be a new division or group led by MO? Will MO’ s loyalists be promoted?

An article recently published.

"SAP freezes hiring and travel to fund ’significant’ AI push - Reports"

The spending reorientation is paired with a sweeping leadership reorganization. CEO Christian Klein has personally assumed control of AI product development under a program called "Project Fuji," absorbing the responsibilities of departing board member Muhammad Alam rather than immediately naming a replacement. Chief Operating Officer Sebastian Steinhäuser has taken over Industrial AI. SAP confirmed the logic in a statement to CIO.com: "SAP is evolving its organization to accelerate its transformation toward an AI-driven Autonomous Enterprise. The new structure brings AI, data, and core applications closer together, enabling more integrated, end-to-end solutions built on SAP's unique process expertise."

"This is the second major reorganization in 2026. A March restructuring created the "Customer Value Group," and a May update established dedicated "Business AI Platform" and "Autonomous Suite" units reporting directly to Klein. The pace of internal change reflects how seriously the company is treating the pivot, and how much investor patience has frayed as the stock has slid more than 26% below its 200-day moving average of €182.43."

"Klein has been blunt about what the transformation means for the workforce. "I'm not sure if here someone in two or three years will still code software," he told The New York Times on Thursday. "I don't expect to operate with a smaller work force, but with a very, very different work force." SAP shed roughly 3,000 jobs in a 2023 restructuring and then launched a €2 billion cost program in early 2024 affecting 8,000 positions, yet has since added more than 3,500 net new roles, many of them customer-facing "forward-deployed engineers" working on AI solutions.

At SAP Sapphire in May 2026, Klein unveiled the "Autonomous Suite," rebranding the full cloud ERP stack around agentic AI, and confirmed a shift to consumption-based pricing measured in "AI Units", a significant structural departure from traditional per-user SaaS billing that could alter revenue predictability. How enterprise customers and analysts model that transition is one of the most consequential open questions heading into results."

Given this restructuring and headcount reduction info, which areas will be most prone to a mass layoff?

With constant reorgs, reshuffling of managers every 1-2 years, people moving out of the company, and now asking to RTO 5 days in a different state, my mental health has taken a toll. Unless I was in Dallas this whole time, there was no certainty what my office location will be and where to buy a home. It kept changing every 1-2 years. Now after 20 years, I have decided to relocate to Dallas, as I couldn’t land any other offer. WTF I am doing? I have no clue, but just trying to save the job for now.

You heard it here first! Grouping the ROW together simply doesn't work!

New Geo Structure;

North America / Latin America - VP, TP - HQ: Beaverton and Mexico City
Europe / Middle East / Africa - VP, CG - HQ: Hilversum
Greater China / Asia Pacific - VP, CS - HQ: Shanghai and Seoul

Simplified to 3 Geos and taking advantage of geographic proximity.

Like many I am very frustrated by the hunt for a landing spot every morning, and all the noise and confusion that goes with it. Will we get offices again after the reorganization is finalized. That is, is this $hit$how just a holding pattern or is it really the permante new normal? Not sure I can live with this long term.

Does anyone have any insight into what’s coming down the road for California restructuring wise?

Leadership and team shake up

For those who chose to leave after a reorganization and successfully landed a new role—how did you approach it?

This reorganization has been incredibly draining. I’m grateful to still be employed, but I’ve taken on responsibilities that are scoped nearly three grade levels above my current role, and I’m realizing it’s time to move more strategically.

I’m open to contract work and seriously considering submitting my two weeks once I have a solid transition plan. I’m feeling depleted, but I know I need to start taking steps toward something better.

For those who have made this kind of move, what helped you navigate the transition?

Any details on move of fraud strategy over to ops? Layoffs? Consolidations? Climate in ops?

Upcoming consolidation of regions and districts by Q12027. More to come.

Corporate re org now LCM gone? Or redundancies more likely?

There are rumors of another round of layoffs in July. Is anyone else seeing a pattern where layoffs seem to happen every 3–6 months and reorganizations every 14–16 months, or is that just perception?

SAP SE is divvying up responsibilities for its product and engineering functions in its second top-level reorganization this year, people familiar with the matter said, as Europe’s largest software company grapples with staying ahead of rising artificial intelligence competition.

SAP has decided to split the responsibilities of Chief Product Officer Muhammad Alam among existing executives as Alam prepares to leave the company in March, rather than name a new CPO with those duties, the people said, asking to not be identified as the plan hasn’t yet been shared internally. Chief Executive Officer Christian Klein will take over most of Alam’s teams, while Chief Operating Officer Sebastian Steinhäuser will handle industrial AI, the people said.

A spokesman for SAP declined to comment.

Growing enterprise interest in AI tools from OpenAI and Anthropic PBC has put SAP and other traditional software firms under pressure to adapt. Klein is reorganizing the company to focus more resources on AI development, something he sees as key to the German enterprise software company’s survival.

It’s come alongside several executive board departures in the last few years, which have shifted reporting lines and responsibilities. In March, Klein gave another board member his sales responsibilities and took on greater oversight of AI strategy. He said in an email to employees at the time that “we once again need to transform SAP end to end, going all in on AI.”

SAP’s shares have declined about 35% this year.

The company is fending off criticism from some partners and customers that its early AI tools aren’t worth the expense, and others who say that they may look outside of SAP’s ecosystem for AI capabilities. In March, Klein pushed to expand access to AI tools to customers who hadn’t yet migrated their all of their legacy systems to the cloud, prioritizing the newer technology.

SAP will continue to search outside of the company for a new executive product lead, two of the people added. The company will target candidates in the US, its largest market, where Alam is the only executive board member, they said. Alam, who took the role leading SAP’s global product and engineering organization in 2024, also oversaw SAP’s software applications including product strategy and development. It’s unclear how the role will be structured under the new CPO.

I've heard that only sales will have layoffs, all the "new way of doing business" is all sales related.

Other orgs won't be getting cut

A reliable source mentioned that there will be a radical shift or shake up in healthcare and managed accounts. Getting rid of lots of dead weight employees and removal of on site techs and managers, as to reallocate them for other purposes. Information is coming in slow and in bits and pieces. Beware.

Bungie announced a company-wide reorganization on June 25, 2026. This reorganization includes 292 job cuts at its Bellevue headquarters. Separations for affected workers are expected to begin July 9, 2026. The studio stated that Destiny 2 fell short of expectations. Bungie is reducing its size while future projects are in early development.

Cybersecurity company Snyk announced its fourth round of layoffs. Approximately 90 employees worldwide and in Israel were affected. The company is reorganizing to accelerate its focus on AI security. This strategic shift aims to simplify its structure and leadership. Snyk faces industry-wide challenges and declining valuation.
