Anyone know what specific Legg org VP/SVP teams will surplus in September?

I've heard more surplus is coming in September, and I am hoping I'm on that list! I asked to be on the July surplus and was told my department wasn't impacted so I could not be included. Any chance I will be on it in September? Specifically looking for impacted VP/SVP teams under Legg.


Need to be laid off - Balvinder

So much churn here, it is looking like mixer grinder on full speed. And perfect timing also with in-person work is starting soon, and now we have a new SVP with full “I have a PhD in retail/store” energy. Apparently he is telling us Jack himself recruited him. Very God. Very VIP. Please bow and clap.

But one small clarification: this Sprouts, not Walmart. Budget is not unlimited, people are not lining up to suffer, and nobody is waiting for some retail professor to come and save the day.

People already do not want to work with him. Existing employees are looking. New hires are ghosting after talking to him.

He is in for a rude awakening. Organic. Locally sourced, and very expensive


Frank delivered, like his personality or not.

This leadership under Mike is just moving deck chairs on the titanic!

  • expense out (severance)
  • expense in (all the new SVP's making millions each from JPM, know nothing about payments, bank software or anything other than consumer and commercial banking.
    Lots of luck, stock price down another 8%, I guess is improvement over the last few quarters with stock down 20-40%.

End of March Layoffs

Take this with a grain of salt but I heard from two unrelated sources that there will be a 1K cut at the end of March with the focus on mgmt (Dirs, SVPs...) We'll know soon enough but that layer is fairly fat and this is exactly where they would get the biggest bang for the buck (and the impact will be minimal).


FISV = $60?

Why are you guys surprised? All along I projected the stock to be in the 50s.

What is next? Fiserv is no longer a fintech company, it is a company with a bunch of accountants and top-heavy with VPs and SVPs. All its IP 🧐 assets are contractors. No one would invest in an accounting firm. Clover? It’s only 8% of the market and going down.

Infinite? Simply an agent, facilitating, accounting cover-up to beautify quarterly earnings.

Sad but this company is dead without its full time IP committed to Fiserv. Mike can’t do anything, Frank left him with long term contracts with third parties and many Frank’s kool-aid guys still around. Stock to $40 .

It will take Mike about another 2 years to know IP is a must to the survival of this company.


office politics

I’m being increasingly iced out by an SVP — removed from key business calls, not receiving responses, and no longer being included in important projects. Visibility and opportunities now appear limited to a small group who closely follow directives and have direct access to the SVP.


H1

The disproportionate presence of Indian leaders hiring and promoting mostly Indian H1-B candidates speaking their language into SVP and other VP roles in Tampa raises concerns about favoritism and closed networks. When leadership pipelines lack balance - opportunities for other equally qualified professionals are very limited.


They do..just not at your level, VP+. Trust me I am retiring at 38 now!!! #SVP n out baby!

Sampath as root cause?

I'll start by saying I have always been fond of Sampath - super smart, great communicator, really understands the business and the industry, and by all accounts a genuinely nice and kind and thoughtful person.

But that said, I also think that he set many things in motion that led Verizon to this position. Both on the business side and then on the consumer side, he set up large, broad leadership org structures, with lots and lots of SVPs. And then I think that in turn led those teams to create broad teams. And once that org bloat starts, it's hard to undo it. I wonder in hindsight if creating these large SVP teams was a mistake.

Just one person's theory.
