What is the long-term goal of the retitling post restructure exercise?
My guess: It will be used as a way to delevel people who don’t meet the new job architecture skillset requirements, with a goal to push them out of the company.

@19c what is CIT?
Everything being done either has some sort of mega cost savings that doesn't make sense now , but will in the future or makes it easy to get bought out or merged and is an easy way to cut full roles once that merger happens without needing to go throught perfomance reviews to do so
@10z said the VP-CIT, putting it on .xls and .ppt doesnt either.
It’s so evident there is no honesty , integrity or ethics left in this company . These new so called EVP’s now will take it for a ride and GO GO is mere a puppet waiting to bag big cash $$$ till his retirement
What a joke. How does this activity help P66 add one dollar to the bottom line? Someone at/near the top needs to stand up and challenge every meeting, every activity, every decision through the lens of contributing to the bottom line.
Thanks for the confirmation. I’m getting cheated.
@OP so now we know why we went through this whole exercise: so that Bobsled Boy could get an EVP title. How is that market?! No EVPs of HR in our industry out there.
I wasn't really bothered with the title change announcement until today -- when I saw how many new EVPs, SVPs and VPs we now have.
Automate and outsource! The cornerstone principles of efficient business operations!
"What is the long-term goal?"
To align jobs with long term future AI friendly title designations. AI is expected to replace all jobs with repetitive and data-driven tasks, due to its ability to automate routine functions.
It just shows how out of touch and far away from the work that upper mgmt and HR really is…
Next round will be WEP 2.0 saying you are not doing the work of your new Title and SGL!
In midstream, some senior tank project managers—especially one in Billings—who appears to have little understanding of what is actually going on yet still collect big fat paycheck every month. It's obvious that salaries in these roles are significantly inflated relative to the value being delivered.
Glad I'm gone, the stuff I read on here is too comical!
@OP See this change for what it is ... promotions cost money so now there won't be any openings unless someone retires, dies, goes out on sick leave, quits or gets fired. "Own your career"? More like, run the org chart numbers and create a death pool of next-level SGL roles ... we should put it on MyRoute. Let everyone bet on which jobs will come open. Hunger Games P66-style!!! Would be the best United Way fund-squeezer ever!!!
I believe it is to limit future promotion opportunities and allow the company to not contribute to an employee's development. You develop your own career!
The goal is to pi-s people off so they quit, reducing headcount without having to pay severance. Which is of course a terrible idea. People who self select are people who can get a job elsewhere. You end up with a sub-standard workforce when you try and reduce headcount this way.
Just fire people if you want to reduce headcount cowards.
When is this title change again? I heard it's oct 20.. is that correct?
I wanna be the Director of Environmental Aesthetics, reporting directly to the Chief Sanitation Officer (CSO).
