> "I recognize that a year-long restructuring creates additional challenges," Sharma said in a passage of the message, according to CNBC. "Unfortunately, it is not possible to make all the necessary changes in a single day." He said the division will return to growth next year.Whoever wrote this doesn't even know Asha Sharma is a woman.

I find it very that a big company ever gets this deep in layers of indirection, but at least they have the guts to restructure. The government rarely does.by deburo

It seems silly to “restructure” and then “return to growth” though.Like, the restructuring is mainly an exercise of managing layers of pointers. Why don’t they ever move around the pointers and keep the people? Save the garbage cleaner process till the very end.
Presumably people who cleared these interview processes are amongst the best and could easily re-train to fit different roles.
