#executives

These executives are evil.

What legacies did TG and other recent retirees leave behind? Better or worst?

Congrats to T Leadership for tanking AT&T Stock to new 52 week low — looks like all the layoffs, corporate real estate selloffs and cost cutting is paying off. Only T executives could get paid millions for running the company into the ground.

Do you think there will ever be a change to the current structure where promotion is based on who you know, and not on your performance and accomplishments?

Pretty ridiculous to see senior executives that do not have more than a bachelor's degree. If even that. No surprise that many at that level are lacking the intellectual capacity to lead efficiently.

Those people know that they will never get a comparable job anywhere else and will do anything to stay creating a cesspool of political games and backstabbing.

self proclaimed transformation agent, from GBT American Express travel. A travel website? To running all of tech for a top fintech? Another bad decision by Lyons that now we all have to live as he's on to the next company to tank. Mike's short tenure here was a complete disaster. Look at the people he hired. The prima donna queen of AI, and more useless payroll. I hope Takis cleans house or this place sc--wed.

How has no exec internally brought up the lawsuit about securities fraud. The silence is deafening.

Meanwhile the C level still have their off-sites with expensive food and drinks like the world is rosy. And the stock keeps sinking lower

Cesar just announced the President Club. Roughly 150 people going to Four Seasons in Sydney. What's something like that gotta cost? How many FTEs could it have saved?

Ajay from Oracle and Adobe? I guess we like dinosaur companies that move at a glacial pace and nickel and dime their customers for legacy products running on fumes from the glory days.

Panos was a Infra Leader? He had no experience leading entire eng orgs of backend, API, frontend teams. At best he's a SRE/Data Center guy, no wonder.

Tuckness started as a Five9 intern and every 1 or 2 years got promoted? He could not possibly have been that good.

JDR was at Skype? You know that team who's own company replaced it (Teams) because the product went downhill so quickly.

Why does Optum have so many Directors and VP’s who don’t have direct reports? If I were trying to trim the fat, that is the first question I would ask.

This is why so many hours are spent making PowerPoint presentations just the right color, etc. Oh the stories I could share about the board visits to the Delaware Basin in New Mexico.

So USAA is doing corporate investigations on lower level employees for RTO, yet they keep hiring executives to be remote, how hypocritical is that? I submitted a JAR earlier today once I saw on LinkedIn the new Chief Information Security Officer is remote. My reasoning, my director is remote in San Diego, ED is remote in New York, a girl on my team remote in Hawaii, and another girl remote in New Mexico and a guy remote in Iowa. Yet I’m the only one in office (Charlotte) and I live in South Carolina, but since it’s only 58 miles and not 60, I’m told to be in office.

Where is the World Cup travel and boondoggle money coming from all of a sudden?

When the SEC files a complaint against executives and a company agrees to pay a record penalty, most people expect accountability. When employees raise concerns about company culture, leadership decisions, or practices they believe deserve scrutiny, they often expect their voices to be heard. What happens when those expectations collide? The public record provides some interesting answers.

Turning over like crazy!!! Normal or worrying??

No press release from PayPal yet but they are usually asleep so no surprises there.

How is Dan approving hans travel expenses but cutting for everyone else. Also, what is Hans doing as special advisor?

Leslie is in the front and center. Sam is out .. she is the new face of leadership.. I told you guys.. she is not going anywhere.

Universal Studio Group is merging UCP and Universal International Studios. Beatrice Springborn will lead the new Universal Global Television. This restructuring eliminates 22 positions across NBCUniversal's TV operations. Jennifer Gwartz, Marc Velez, and Steven O’Neill are among the departing executives. The consolidation aims to align content for the global market.

Retired or forced out?

Anyway, good start… we’re all hoping stink is next!

I just do enough in log in the hours and collect a paycheck. The place is the walking dead. Nobody cares. Stankey just doesn't remotely come close to having that It factor that you would get behind and do battle for. Most would give him a giant shove into the line of fire.

Surprised no one has mentioned this. Anyone hear why? Any opinions on the new guy? Seems like he’s blasted through the exec ranks pretty fast

Selling shares and syronara Sam! Effective July 1. Were the shares sold before or after she was informed?

Can someone help me understand, Dan Lyons said the reason why company profit was lower in Q1 was driven by executives compensation due to 50,% run up in company stock price. Is this real?

Profits took a hit partly because of a dramatic runup in the company’s stock price, a rally that continued with the war in Iran. Part of the company’s compensation package for executives is linked to its share price — when the price goes up, so does the value of compensation.

The company’s stock rose by close to 50 per cent during the first few months of the year, resulting in “higher incentive compensation charges,” which weighed on profits, said Daniel Lyons, senior vice-president of finance and administration.

The charges amounted to $143 million after tax, Lyons said.

So are all executives having a party??

Of course being replaced by ai is not impossible, and obviously scary, yet hilarious to think about our executives regurgitating data organized by ai because they won’t even know what’s incorrect.

Link dropped in our emails. Let him have it.

Kelly King and Bumbling Bill made an agreement when Gargamel took over that he wouldn’t remove the pension for 10 years. Not sure if that was the day of the merger or the day Gargamel took over. But the pension will cease to exist in way less than 10 years.

I am a first time visitor and I read all of the posts. The one I liked the most was the report card. I wanted to write one and see what y’all think and how things have gotten better or worse.

National sales/ This one is my team so I would rate an A but our marketing toolbox is horrible and we didn’t hit every target so B.

Local sales/ this one is the same as above. I have lots of friends there so I know.

Marketing/ this one is horrible. F-

Safety- I don’t know that much about these gentlemen so B. I haven’t heard great things and haven’t heard bad things.

Legal: I don’t know much about them either but because they shut their eyes to everything I read below that they coulda shoulda stopped, I will give them a D

Crisis business team/ these gentlemen get an A++ . They send us informational teports that I give my customers and they love it and they figure out how to get them out orders no matter what is going on out there. They also called me once when there was a g-n fight near me to make sure I was safe. If these gentlemen are part of the safety org, then A plus for them. Bless all y’all for what you do.

HR- I have friends here too and I would have given them a B but the cheating to bring the wrong people to our company and that atrocious hire gives them a D. They shoulda known better.

Security/ they have to change this yesterday. How could y’all think the gentleman was the right hire. Y’all are exposing us to danger.

IT: these gentleman get a D. Their apps and tools are easy to use but they go down all of the time.

Payroll- they have a new way to pay us for our wins and never had any problems with them. B

Out drivers: they rock it. They make it happen. A+

Executives / C

Did I forget anyone?

Anyone got any clue as to what the H is going on this weekend? Intranet says executive board meetings from 06/05-06/09. I’ve heard rumors Ed Rust has been spotted A LOT in Bloomington but it’s just a rumor.

1 By partnering closely with NVIDIA, Dell successfully secured a front-row seat on the AI wave.
2 By backing Donald Trump, Dell gained political support and substantial government orders.
3 By distancing the company from China and giving up part of the Chinese market, Dell earned strong trust from Trump and his allies.
4 Through quiet but decisive and continuous layoffs, Dell has consistently reduced costs.
5 By shifting operations toward India, Dell has maintained product competitiveness.

has announced his intention to leave the business effective June 6." This departure marks yet ANOTHER high profile exit from AT&T.

Because what will Really get us out of this mess are more executives who lead by numbers and have no idea what an “SDLC” even is. yay.

This should be entertaining

Four in five execs say they were less likely to value human employees after using AI
AI still requires human oversight, and many struggle to fully trust it

Poor and even negative ROI continues to plague many

A new study by Globalization Partners has revealed more than four in five (82%) company execs say they are less likely to value human employees after using AI tools, positioning human workers as secondary assets after more capable systems.

This sentiment differs from the current state of affairs, whereby 60% of the 2,850 surveyed senior execs agreed humans still lead work operations with AI merely serving as a productivity booster.

The difference could imply that, while humans remain integral today, managers may place less of an emphasis on the human workforce in the future as AI gets more work done autonomously.

AI is impacting how much top managers value their human workers

The shift likely positions humans as AI managers, rather than administrative workers, with two in three (69%) now spending more time than ever before monitoring and reviewing AI-generated work. The sense of a lack of trust still lingers, too, with only 23% having total confidence in AI's accuracy and 61% worries about legal accuracy when using AI on sensitive documents.

However, while some execs see AI as a human replacer, many others are still dissatisfied with their returns. Three-quarters (73%) say ROI has fallen short of expectations, with 16% even reporting negative ROI. As a result, around seven in 10 execs say they're prepared to cut AI budgets this year if goals are not met.

Separately, Gartner VP Analyst Padraig Byrne explained, "AI is everywhere, but most organizations are still figuring out how to monitor and trust these systems."

Giving a sneak peak into where companies might be getting it wrong, the research firm implied that those building AI agents without strong semantic and contextual data foundations are most likely to see hallucinations, unreliable outputs and biases.

Together, the two reports indicate that while execs are increasingly seeing AI as unavoidable, many are still struggling to trust it.

Looking ahead, Gartner calls for the implementation of model monitoring policies to provide quite quality metrics and an increased focus on infrastructure to handle high-volume model telemetry.

It's what...nearly two years since he was brought in as the technology executive management team member to fix Citi's age old problems. What/How has he delivered so far? Considering what his directs (forget the whole team) costs Citi? What's the ROI?

Biggest question to answer - Would Citi ever be in a position to exit the CO had it not been some other administration in place (either Republican different than Pres. Trump or a Dem Pres.)? If the answer is no, then is it not clear that Tim Ryan has failed misreably at his job? 2 years is a long time at that level. Then again....CO was issued under Jane's watch and her total comp and position has only climbed higher and higher every year, despiteg Citik having paid nearly half a billion dollars in just fines since the 2020 CO. She's costed Citi more than that already...she ain't in any position to hold Tim accountable for anything

BNY Pershing’s CIO came and went faster than a transformation buzzword. The British hipster swagger, the artisan‑arrogance, the 'Untuckit' shirt and white tennis shoes style and the “I’ll fix and co-locate everything in six weeks” energy — all gone. And in classic BNY fashion, the update is delivered with that beloved euphemism: “He is no longer with us.” Translation: blink and you missed him.

Joe Martin (CCO) barely made it to a year and he's already out! Fossil can't seem to stop burning through executives, can they?

While we stay up overnight wondering if we have a job.

It's abundantly clear that the executive leadership does not care to listen to anyone of importance to the company. Don't plan on attending anything of meaning to them. Boycott the PHK naming ceramony and JDI day. Employee engagement surveys are absolutely worthless, and your comments have already been pushed away The only way to make your feelings known... is to not show up when the company spends buco bucks to make themselves look good. Maybe then they'll realize that listening to the core employee base, and the workers with years of experience, is the way forward.

Asking for a friend.
