Yes. Good old Danny boy. He a terrible self-centered leader. He does not listen and thinks he is always right. He has done it all. (Bus Dev, Ops, Strategy, Customer Success, Professional Services, Support). Everything he touches goes to sh..t. A total disaster. I'm sure it will not be long before he and his boy (su-k ups) club are gone too.....
Danny has no idea how to run a support team. Worst support leader I have seen so far. Everything he says is a lie.
First of all, Rob and Jason's management team is still intact. Nothing has changed.
Dan.. In..gr..am (25+ veteran) is still leading the charge.
Jason was a pretty weak leader at CB, so I would not expect much from him were he to be installed as the Dear Leader.
Dude, do YOU even work for the BU? SED got demolished and everyone else customer facing is pushed into random roles. They sold the contracts and support of the tools to aggregators…. There are only a few direct customers left which make it F-ing perfect for a sale to someone.
Do you even work at Broadcom?
What a load of sh-t this thread is, Broadcom is not selling ESG to anyone. There is no talk of layoffs, no RIF that's been spoken of and the id--t that thinks ESG in this context is Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), please just do it somewhere else. Jason is superb leader. Stop this stupid rumour mongering of layoffs, sales and doom.
Any comments on Jason leadership? How good is he? What’s the impact to Symantec products?
Some id--t asked Chat GPT to answer the question in the OP
ESG in this context is Enterprise Security Group not Environmental, Social, and Governance (to whoever posted on that topic).
Yes! 25% to 35% RIF coming. New leader wants to get rid of WFH staff mostly. Confirmed in a meeting today.
More layoffs coming to ESG?
The appointment of Jason as VP/GM of ESG at Carbon Black could have several implications, particularly in terms of the company's approach to sustainability and governance. As the focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) becomes more critical for businesses, leadership in this area can shape how a company navigates challenges like carbon emissions, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations.
- Increased Focus on Carbon Emission Reduction: Given the growing pressure on companies to adopt sustainable practices, Jason’s leadership could drive Carbon Black to prioritize initiatives that reduce their carbon footprint. ESG frameworks often promote innovation in governance and environmental practices, which could lead to more transparent and measurable strategies to cut down on carbon emissions [oai_citation:4,An ESG and carbon finance panel discussion report: Avoiding greenwashing litigation, managing cybersecurity risks, and legal trends in Indigenous rights-based climate change litigation | Miller Thomson LLP | Canadian business law firm](https://millerthomson.com/en/insights/mt-biosphere/greenwashing-litigation-cybersecurity-risks-indigenous-rights-based-climate-change-litigation/) [oai_citation:3,Sustainability | Free Full-Text | The Impact of ESG Practices in Industry with a Focus on Carbon Emissions: Insights and Future Perspectives](https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/8/6685).
- Enhanced ESG Reporting and Compliance: Jason's role might also lead to stricter adherence to ESG reporting standards, as transparency and consistency in ESG metrics are becoming critical for regulatory compliance and investor trust. This can help Carbon Black mitigate risks such as "greenwashing" (misleading environmental claims) and ensure better governance [oai_citation:2,Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) - ESG - Black Carbon Coalition](https://blackcarboncoalition.org/esg/).
- Long-Term Value Creation: A strong ESG leadership can influence decision-making that balances short-term financial performance with long-term sustainability goals. This could be particularly relevant for Carbon Black, as industries like theirs face increased scrutiny over environmental impacts, which affects both their public image and long-term viability [oai_citation:1,Sustainability | Free Full-Text | The Impact of ESG Practices in Industry with a Focus on Carbon Emissions: Insights and Future Perspectives](https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/8/6685).
In summary, Jason's appointment as ESG head may signal Carbon Black's commitment to deeper sustainability practices, potentially leading to innovations in emissions reduction, better governance, and stronger market positioning within the growing ESG landscape.
Send everyone back to the office regardless of location. Anyone who can't go back, well pack your bags and leave. Symantec org has the worst record when it comes to office attendance. Nobody takes their work serious here anymore.
Why HCL? ^
That would mean people not willing to transfer to HCL won't even get a package. Hock is a very smart man. Once he sells this he can buy Intel..
Ha… no no no. This will be what happens…
Papa Hock will sell off the security business to HCL for $3-5B as well as keep 50% of the Aggregated Revenue rights until 2028. Buckle up butter cups…
More layoffs. THis is the way!
And hopefully Jason sends everyone back to the office. Most of us in Symantec org has enjoyed working from home. I know many people who only work 1 or 2 hours per day and spend the rest of the time doing nothing. All sales, support and engineers should be mandated back to office or productivity will keep falling along with profits.
Mass layoffs expected for Symantec guys, be prepared!
First thing Jason should do is strict zero based budgeting - implement carefully starting with under/non performing product areas. Will make some people uncomfortable who want status quo (and their jobs) but it’s the need of the hour as status quo has not worked after SED acquisition by Broadcom.
