We were first introduced to these ‘traveling’ resources when the Spotify model rolled through. Are they the ones leading the “next re-org” too? If not, were any of them impacted in this? Or are they the ones pushing the enablement lead lingo…

What it sounds like is that some AC that remained were given an option to be demoted to SM, who will then eventually become enablement leads. What i didn’t know was that existing SM’s would be tanked, instead of being given the option AC’s were given. Point being, SMs didn’t really ever stand a chance for a role they were volun-told to take in the first place.
There is no need to point fingers, and I think the question can still be valid. the AC to SM relationship was flawed undoubtedly at management’s hands, i just don’t understand why so many SMs were laid off when they had closer proximity to work than ACs did.
In Wealth/Brokerage, the agile associates (SMs, DPMs, and some CLs) took a 50% hit. It sounds like this time, the same thing was done in Wealth, WI and ET.
The last of the coaches were let go in February. This cr-p is not on them. This is all leadership and their inability to lead.
Lots of agile coaches were sent packing in 2025.
Were there any left?
The Spotify model didn't come from Agile coaches - it was sold by expensive consulting companies. Strategic re-orgs will be whispering in Abby's ear this time, too. Where do you think RTO came from?
