Yup, smart money gets the resume ready and starts the networking calls to be ahead of the herd.
Elliot is here for one reason only-to make money. If you think Geoff invited them to work together in harmony you are being gaslighted. Major cuts and business separations will be announced soon. Be logical folks.
@hc breaking news: clowns recommend circus
According to Rashmi this is a good thing :)
HR as a function within MDT has two core competencies - RIF's...and making sure that "equity" is a force for building mediocrity - creating layers upon layers of managers that can't lead and don't know how to win. Further, Together.
@et,
That single event cost 2K corporate employees their jobs in MN, OMG lets pray nothing like that is our future
@em yeah. I think we’re gonna see 2015 Target level layoffs.
Honestly folks, I was wondering if this was step #1 before the so call "slash and burn" across the entire organization. IDK any more what MDT is doing.
@a7 I am hoping it's the vendor exit path, they are by far the worst I have seen. They are so bad that others, Clorox, have sued them for their losses and for some reason they are still here slowing us down to a stand still.
Reminder: MDT management doesn't play chess, they play checkers....as indicated by historical stock performance!
IT has swung in and out of C suite. Could be they don’t have a candidate or they’re bumping IT down.
Better then reporting to Finance, ask any LCOV IT co-workers left why I post this message
How are things in IT these days?
There is definitely something to this, and we should be thinking of it as just one move in the game of chess.
This is very probably transitional and not a strategic belief that HR should run IT. It's consolidation or a holding structure while something bigger happens, and controlled intervention mode, in my view. Most likely it is getting rid of The Goffster and getting a successor ready.
If it isn't Goff Murda's exit, it is keeping a very tight chain on functions and "minding" IT while far bigger separation occurs.
Overall, this is an indicator of instability, an organization in flux, and the ranks having broken.
comes down to who the CEO thinks has personal bandwidth, and sizing roles with the right scope to justifty insane pay packages.
Build AI and let it decide who to fire next.
Seems to be the norm these days. I see this structure at a lot of companies, not sure why.
