Which matters more to you?
I'm job hunting right now and what I'm finding is that some roles pay well but have mediocre titles while others have great titles but the salary is significantly lower. I wonder what matters more to the people here. The actual money in your pocket, or the title on your LinkedIn? Not that I'm getting any offers yet, but I'm just curious.
Technology role framework
Are we doing title realignment again? Does anyone have more info on what is it and why it is coming our way?
I understand that they are trying to set as much people as possible. Is this exercise being performed instead of mid year reviews?
Recent Job Title Changes & Cognizant
The recent job title changes were not a coincidence - these were done to setup an easier transfer of staff to Cognizant.
Is there any severance package for IC levels?
Like SWE II-III type titles.
Bosses who shouldn't have those titles
Why does CVS and it's affiliates allow bullies to be in leadership roles? My boss is demoralizing, hostile, and downright mean. This boss has their few favorites and if you aren't part of their group, then you are treated like a low-life. This boss should never have been given a role where they have direct reports. For those of you going through something similar, hang in there! Finally, people have listened and this boss won't be needing their exit countdown any longer!!!!!
Principal titles. What the heck is that.
I know all titles at Nike are valued than any other company. Like Directors are more like managers and VPs are like directors but what are Principals?? Loooool what is that?? A way to tell employees you are promoted but without any value?? What a joke!!
Notice period for retirement
In workday there is a section for notice period. Depending on your title you may have to provide notice of you quit or retire. Mine says no notice. Does anyone know for sure of that means I can retire and walk out the door the same day? Not a question I really want to ask HR.
Title changes on Workday/Teams
What's the deal with title changes on Workday/Teams? Used to be a 'Lead Systems Analyst' and now a IT Systems Specialist which sounds like a downgrade.... noticed other folks had different titles as well. When did this happen and why the change?
Title Changes after TSYS merger
Today I noticed my auto signature was deleted. Then I find out they changed the titles for everyone in our department.
This is exactly what they did after the WorldPay merger. 50% were let go less than a year later.
P4/P5
Has anyone recently had a “manager” lose their title and been placed into a P4 or P5 bucket? If so do they still have access to all tour HR information?
Can someone provide details on RMC bonus pool or Operational risk more specifically?
Title says it all. Thanks in advance.
How’s your department doing right now? Here’s what I see in “Marketing.”
The marketing function has become a factory for titles, acronyms, and unaccountable “strategy” that fails the only test that matters: measurable impact on claims, utilization, and outcomes. Too much work is optimized for decks, meetings, and vanity metrics—and not nearly enough is grounded in basic insurance fluency, network reality, or results you can defend in the data.
The org is so aggressively matrixed that responsibility evaporates. People “own” a narrow slice of a slice of a business, yet can’t clearly explain what they own, what the product actually is, what the acronyms mean, or how members are supposed to find in-network care. When ownership is that diluted, execution becomes guesswork and accountability becomes optional.
Meanwhile, member outreach is a chaotic pile-on. Digital sends emails. Marketing sends emails. MDLIVE sends emails. Express Scripts sends emails. There’s no single orchestrator, no shared plan, and no one accountable for the member experience end-to-end—just overlapping blasts and conflicting messages. Cigna doesn’t have a marketing organization; it has a fragmented broadcast system optimized for internal theater, not results.
What is CCB Gateway?
Recently some title changed to CCB Gateway any impact with these title change?

Our group - not a whisper, besides what's in the news
Band 7 in both organizations
Seasonal support boh pay
Do you get Xtra pay for seasonal support boh?
I was offered this position in addition to my reg job title.
Background check
So I am going thru a background check and am wondering what information is shared on things like ADP employment information to my new employer, the work number, etc. Will it show every job title I had at XOM? I omitted one lame role I had and replaced it with the previous role I had (2 years).
I know VOE only shows last job title held and start/end date, but will XOM share every job title I had on my background check? Thanks in advance!
Senior President?
What in the world is a Senior President?
DW making up new titles now?
First day after OHS, no email yet
I wonder if they’ll start next week. I am really worried about my job since there is someone else at my site with my same title
more layoff coming
looks like there might be more coming
EEs INTENTIONALLY MISCLASSIFIED NOW CAN YOU EE’s HANDLE IT? Experience any job Title changes, Loopholes, and the Misclassification Trap
With the new mandate raising the salary threshold, many companies are quietly rebranding jobs to dodge overtime rules. Titles like “analyst,” “specialist,” or “associate manager” are being handed out without changing the actual work. It’s a loophole: the company narrative makes it look like you’re exempt, while your day-to-day duties tell a different story.
The law is clear, titles don’t matter. What matters is what you actually do. If your role is routine, closely supervised, or production-based, you’re likely non-exempt no matter what’s printed on your badge. But the timing of sudden title changes around this mandate is a red flag: it may be an attempt to fit workers into exemption boxes that don’t really apply.
For employees, this isn’t just semantics. Misclassification means unpaid overtime, longer weeks for flat pay, and missed income you’ve already earned. If your “promotion” didn’t come with real authority, like hiring, firing, or decision-making power you may have just been reclassified on paper.
Keep an eye on how your job was described before the rule change, what your duties actually are, and whether the company is leaning on titles as a shield. Misclassification isn’t an accident; it’s a tactic. And it’s one that costs workers the most.
Class action anyone ?? Long overdue!
Lead on my team doesn’t do any work
Need peoples opinion on this. Some background I joined this team about a year ago as an analyst. I noticed some things off for example this persons yapping in meetings saying they’re gonna finish a project on a certain date but then deliver it late consistently. Also noticed some brown nosing.
This person was offline on slack too quite often. Fast forward the manager offloaded their high visibility projects to me.
Now here’s where I have resentment. This persons work is not visible and I don’t believe he does any work at all. What baffles me is the manager allows it. Other people on our team pull their weight but not this person.This has been going on for a year. How could this be? Why would a manager allow this to happen it’s quite obvious he barely does any work.
Any thoughts?
Title Changes
I see there are many title changes across PEP. Should I be concerned if my title didn’t change? Worried about restructures and org changes.
Pepsi Largest Mishap in some time.....
Pepsi has struck again! It seems that Frito managed the change with the job titles in the proper manner. Meetings and communication were had. But, then there is Pepsi who just dropped the bo-b and everyone woke up on Monday morning to a new job title. There was no communication, no discussions and no email communication.
As a Director, I reached out to HR since every single member of my team had a different job title, including myself. I was told that they were unaware and would look into it. Here we are 48 hours later....and still crickets. How is this possible? This organization is crumbling and we deserve better. You heard of "quiet quitting"....well, you just signed us all up to start doing "less" again!
Now, that the cat is out of the bag, just go ahead and announce the reorg, restructure, merger & sale of some of the territories. Offer VRP to these VP's, Senior Directors and the folks who didn't take the VRP last time. We are all here just waiting for the offer. I for one will gladly take it this time.
Now, we wait and see how many days it takes Pepsi HR & the Division President's to show up with communication and speaking points for us to take back to our teams.
Plain and simple...DO BETTER!
4th Quarter Union Package
I don’t know what titles would be eligible for the EIPP. Hopefully for field techs and COTS. The union has confirmed this.
All titles changed
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?
Lost the Speed and reliability title?

Risk Roles Experience in Charlotte, NC
I know its not a layoff post but I'm genuinely curious anyone here work in the Charlotte area for a corporate function? Looking at risk roles and understand the 5 day office thing but also hear no seats and new hub is coming in 2026. Is Charlotte actually a hub? Not trying to onboard and then get told to move to ATL or Dallas. What's the day to day experience working at T? Can anyone explain a Principal title in terms of where in the org that sits? How's bonus, benefits, time off etc.?
Raises
Hello is anyone heard if RICOH will be giving raises this year? They have completely fallen off track with the cost of living and they need to do something to retain the workers that they have left.
What will you do after Cobra expires?
Is that still the best option to continue with or are there any good alternatives?
Why are there so many Managers and Directors now?
When I worked at Fannie 10+ years ago, there was the Manager->Director->VP hierarchy. Now when I check LinkedIn, there's Manager, Senior Manager, Director, Senior Director. And a lot more people appear to have those titles. Why did they make that change? Seems like too many managers and directors.
Harmony?
Layoffs coming. Also some bs called harmony where peoples title gets knocked down a level or two.
VP promotions, you can.
I left Oracle three years ago and now see many former colleagues moving into VP or Senior Director roles. The bar seems lower than a decade ago. Back then, an IC5 promotion required pitching to several VPs; Director → Senior Director often took 5–8 years of hard work; becoming VP could take around a decade for top performers. Today I’m seeing a average guy become regional VP of AI with only a bachelor’s degree, little to no AI experience, and limited overall sales experience (<3 years at Microsoft, and in fact later fired). Has the process changed, or are titles being inflated? Where is this going? Is this a talent development, I guess not...
Credential inflation is out of control
So many MDs have job postings on their teams for Director or below that require something like an MBA or CFA, yet these same MDs only have a bachelors. I realize this isn’t specific to BNY but as someone in that network I’ve been seeing so much of this lately. As a manager, I don’t care where you went to school - I’m looking at your experiences first and if you interview well and seem like you could fit in. I have an MBA but it hasn’t really been a driver in my career. I wonder how much hiring managers actually pay attention to this.
Title changes for salary compression.
The bank is now actively reclassifying lower roles to higher roles without any financial compensation. They are compressing wages down for the same or more work. Be mindful of your job role, your compensation range will go down.
This evil corporation expects us to work harder for no actual gain to ourselves?
