You know how sometimes you set yourself a challenge you know might hurt, then get a third of the way into the challenge and realize, "This is, um, too much hurt?" That might be what's happened at Stellantis. In May 2021, CEO Carlos Tavares said at the Financial Times' Future of the Car event, "We're giving each (brand) a chance, giving each a time window of 10 years and giving funding for 10 years to do a core model strategy. The CEOs need to be clear in brand promise, customers, targets, and brand communications." With results for the first half of 2021 hitting Stellantis with a 48% drop in net income, Tavares started firing public warning shots to some the conglomerate's 14 brands, underlined with, "If they don't make money, we'll shut them down." Analysts began writing about the suddenly shaky ground under Italian brand Lancia and French brand DS, while Maserati took the brunt of the hit, Stellantis CFO Natalie Knight saying, "There could be some point in the future when we look at what's the best home for [Maserati]."

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Cisco will cut thousands of jobs in a second round of layoffs this year as the networking equipment maker shifts focus to higher-growth areas, including cybersecurity and AI, people familiar with the matter said.

The number of people affected could be similar to or slightly higher than the 4,000 employees Cisco laid off in February, and will likely be announced as early as Wednesday with the company’s fourth-quarter results, said the sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly.
