Out of touch leadership
We literally have customers telling us what they want, but all management wants is to sell software. How did it get like this?
What will RA do next to pi$$ off their customers and distributors?
RA is taking a page out of the insurance industry playbook. "delay, deny, defend", get ready for warranty claims to be rejected at a record pace. It should go over especially well with distributors who will be on the hook if they provide a... — read more

Big thoughts
Is Blake at DAVOS again? Fly the corp jet over. Blow a lot of shareholder money to make him feel smart and important. He is neither but they will layoff more by year end because the anemic growth his sales team has delivered.

Goodbye Sensia
Announced in Q4 earnings call and press release, SENSIA, the JV between RA and SLB created in 2019, to be dissolved in early 2026. Uncertain times ahead as that's a lot of people to absorb into Rockwell or Schlumberger.
Tsunami coming
The layoffs are ramping up. Otto. Coding. All ai or stock price manipulation by the id--ts at the top. Tell me who is smart at the top. Blake turns red because he knows something. Tessa asked-can we go faster. Matheus is counting shackles and... — read more
Run
Blake has ruined the company. Sure. Stock price is up but so is everything. 2 years ago, there where 9000 NEW people and all the GOOD leaders had left. BECKHOFF and Siemens are delivering way more new products. Blake keeps overpaying for... — read more

Remote Work / RTO
what's your department like? Any word of 4-5x/week back in office?
My bonus this year?
Earlier in the year, the bonus level and public guidance didn’t match. To get a bonus we would meet to beat all the guidance. Seems disingenuous from Blake. Not surprising, he is an id--t narcissist. What multiplier will we get and when is he... — read more
Layoffs in Q4
Any rumors on up coming round of layoffs? Possibly In Sept? Q3 earnings call was not too promising
Looking for a job. Rockwell is hiring.
Can someone tell me what the new posting for executive thought leadership manager job is for? I am perfect for this job if it means the current leadership is devoid of ideas and a narrative. I guess Siemens , ABB and BECKHOFF already have this... — read more
leadership is crushing it 0 but I am a bot
Blake’s leadership at Rockwell often felt like a masterclass in optics over outcomes—elevating his “global thought leader” persona while the operators he relied on shouldered the real strategic risk and execution. He leaned hard into buzzword... — read more

Lots of bad opinions from "ex" ra losers
Hi-I am just trying to get a good read. Blake seems legit. I met Tessa-she is charming. Bob's seems like the shizzle. I think this company will "pop" soon now that the old id--ts are gone. Please help me confirm
Layoff process question
Hey guys, quick question do you know what the main criteria were for choosing who to let go? I'm asking because I've heard that a consulting company was involved in the layoff process. Do you think that's true? How on earth would a consulting firm... — read more

Arvind going away message
Hi all Blake gave me $1m in bonus while I skewed Ted, Mike, Fran, Frank, Tessa and so many ore. I delivered nothing and will land at the next sh-t show. Matt Tessa and Bob will do the same. We are the next Allis Chalmers
Trump tariffs
What do you think - will Trump tariffs burry Rockwell? Mexico is 25% of North American production capacity.
Why are they hiding employee engagement
Rockwell is like all public companies but in the lower quartile of leaders. Blake ensured that when he fired xxxxx xxxxxxx. Fill in the blank. Arvind has delivered negative vale and has $2m of options.
Blake and Becky only have one play
They will lay you off to make quarterly eps. Blake is weak. He is not competent in automation space. He is a sales wonk. Tessa is too. Bobby B. Aka Ed Grimley too. Matt is a gpt wa-ker. Doesn’t leave much. Becky is poised to take over. She... — read more
Honeywell might buy Rockwell
Honeywell is splitting up. After Blake’s poor performance, maybe they will be interested in Rockwell. Thanks for sc--wing up Blake. Take your worthless sidekick Becky and leave.
