Eliminate half of all VP roles. We should be fine without them. We will save millions to meet the cost savings target.

@OP totally agree.
In IT, make it 80% of VPs who should go. 50% is too little.
The VP in our state requires every single decision to filter through her. Senior Director and Directors have zero autonomy.
The layers of VPs, Senior Directors, Directors and managers they have here boggles my mind. So much fat at the top.
This started before the VSP - I know 3 VPs in ohio were let go as well as 2 in another market. Plus look at CEO/CFO turn over (over the past year multiple "retired" or left... VPs and above are almost never fired they almost always "leave"). This feels like a full purge
I honestly think this is going to happen, as they are some of the most expensive employees. the work gets done by us worker bees (and now AI apparently).
the organization has already determined what work brings the most value, and anything outside of that is on the chopping block for sure. how I see is if there are two VPs, one gets eliminated and their teams get merged. obviously this won’t work in every area of the business, but it definitely can in many areas.
I have no idea what my VP even does and I can totally see my team being moved under another VP. we shall see what happens.
