There is no better company on Earth to be employed by, it’s all opportunity and performance based promotions. I love this company!

Yesterday was my last day at Discover, and it’s hard to put into words how happy it feels to not be associated with discover. Reflecting on my bad time here, I’m deeply ungrateful for the challenges, growth, and connections that have not shaped me... — read more 

Disco acquisition’s off?

This thread is for info about potential Capital One layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Capital one miserably failed in discover acquisition. C1 played a death game... ultimate end of the C1 legacy.

Email sent out that hybrid expectations is a full 3 days in an office. Prior it was 2 to 3 days or half a week in an office. The merger with DFS has fallen apart and won't happen and now they're using a new metric to fire staff.

Heard there was a large Commercial Reorg. Lot's going offshore. Seems like all areas of Commercial were impacted.

In the office i hear someone on a zoom call talking to someone else about performance calibrations for an employee. And heaing this person say bad things about the employee to stack ranking this employee. Very unprofessional to do this in an open... — read more 

Cap 1 is the best. Rest everyone is worst.

Hearing DFS/Discover acquisition is off? How can this be possible? Will be a shame for C1.

I read all these C1 comments on this page and it really makes me concerned about DFS employees future. DFS is about 5 times smaller than C1. DFS doesn't try to be the market leader but instead focuses on steady profit, excellent customer service... — read more

Capital used to be a great company . The company is now a sh*t show with bad politics, lack of job security.

I have to say I am glad I left Capital One. Folks, I know they make you believe it is the best company out there. Don’t fall for it. It has a really bad culture where only those who play the game/politics win. Also if you want to practice your tech... — read more

A co-worker said that cap1 will let u go immediately upon submitting a 2 week notice. Is this true?

Senior Directors, VPs, and MVPs are PIP'd and fired too.

My manager blindsided me with a below strong so that he could meet stack ranking numbers for mid year. Is that an automatic PIP at the end of the year or is there any way of digging out of a coaching plan and getting at least a strong? My manager... — read more
