What a great day. I received the call this AM. I heard in my managers voice uncertainty about their own future. What a mess, they have a whole heck of a lot of stuff they need to unwind to get themselves off the firing line. For those who did not want to speak up for me that is OK, I forgive you. I do not feel bad for standing up for myself when I did. Nobody slots me into incorrect alignments and gets away with it. At this point, I appreciate the paid 60 days PTO and severance. I am going to use this as an opportunity to reset my mental health and find a better position for the remainder of my career. Feel free to position these changes as (right-sizing all you want). I have watched for years as you've hired your friends and diversity hires. Thank God those days are over for me. I should have never put up with it in the first place, but with COVID and forced RTO the market contracted making a move a little more elusive than I had hoped. Again! Thank you all very much. This is a weight off my shoulders.

@OP, so now you can tell us about BE. Will the answer come from her. Are they going to unwind from the data management mess? Platforms? Have Offshore do all the initial and ongoing work? Will agile transformation, still in some job titles, die?
@bc Chief Technology Officer - reports to Bridget
CTO? For those of us who have no idea what you are talking about? Dept or a location?
That is what MB has said twice now. That CTO was at the right head count for the rest of the year at least.
I feel you OP, I’m in severance now working through my own reset. Best to you and all of us for a better future than we could have imagined.
Interesting because I thought CTO was supposed to be done with lay offs earlier this year.
