As name suggests time in office is now apart of performance.

<8h a day will put you on list and <1h few times will get you even worse.

Ask me how found out lol

Intel is running low of BS to try and attract money and pump up the stock going low, lower, lowest. Popcorn anyone ?

Another study just came out showing exactly what AT&T leadership apparently refuses to acknowledge - - Fully remote employees reported the highest well-being. Fully onsite employees reported the lowest.

8,000 employees studied and the study found no evidence that remote employees were less connected to their coworkers or company culture.

So what exactly are we accomplishing with 5x RTO?

We’re burning hours commuting, burning people out, ki-ling flexibility and forcing people into an office so they can sit on Teams all day.

And then leadership wonders why morale su-ks.

This isn’t complicated. If someone can do their job effectively from home, let them.

Stop forcing people into the office because you feel like it should make them more productive. The data isn’t backing you up.

But I’m sure big stink will find a way to explain why this study doesn’t apply to us.

The person they brought in for this wellbeing presentation, is one of the most chilling presenter I have encountered and not in a good way.

There was no emotion, blank stare, no genuine feeling about anything. Everything seemed practiced and rehearsed. I know sociopathic tendencies are rampant the higher you go up the ladder but this one kind of scared me. It’s like I would not ever want to work with that person and can’t take any advice seriously. Maybe it’s just me and so overworked that I have no idea how this will help.

I have officially moved on from Verizon Business.

Ultimately, the workload, expectations, and compensation were no longer sustainable. Managing an entire territory on a base salary of roughly $36,000, while absorbing the expenses that come with being in the field, is difficult to justify. R2B territory managers are among some of the lowest-paid territory managers when compared with similar positions across industries, and they are expected to do it without even a vehicle allowance.

But the compensation itself was only part of the problem. The bigger issue was what was promised.

During the transition, employees were told that the new job title and expanded responsibilities would come with an increase in base salary. People moved into these positions and accepted significantly greater responsibilities based, at least in part, on what they were told their compensation would become.

That promised base salary increase never came.

There is a major difference between accepting a demanding job knowing exactly what it pays and accepting expanded responsibilities based on a representation that your compensation would increase.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for the people still working in R2B. They deserve compensation and resources that reflect the job they are actually doing, and more importantly, they deserve what they were promised.

Jeff Clarke needs to get kicked out. He is a an a--hole. No strategy, only here to make money. He is Michael Dell's right hand man, but Michael needs to kick him out..

What is our leadership team and board doing? They have the worker communication and execution plan for layoffs. Supposedly there was some buyout attempt that seems to make our company look worse. The communication for future projects is murky and now there is supposedly no more cw’s. We need a real leader to get back the camaraderie and culture so people actually want to come to work. This is just bullsh-t torture every day.

And if you're not looking for a way out, the joke's on you.

The way company is doing things unsustainable. OK, let’s use this SAP shut down as a reason to force more cr-p in so we will have so much product that we won’t be able to get through in September, and then it will be quarter close and it will start all over again last two weeks of September With the BS nos orders, that they will come up with some reason to justify sending in, just stop lying, and let’s stop playing this game, end dsd already. Its not working. Stop making up lies for sending in extra product, we’re all sick and tired of it…

Well, Ramon and his boys promised a record year of “productivity”. That means the biggest year yet of changes and their hand in your pocket. Is anyone else walking funny yet?

Who neither manage nor direct

Should we call them Mismanging Indirectors?

Overachieve every quarter, showcase excellent results, customer satisfaction, retention upsell.

All that doesn't matter anymore, you want more pay ? You want a promotion ? Bullsh-t stretch assignments is the only way.

It wasn't like this before, we can thank NetApp for hiring the laziest, cr-ppiest leadership teams straight out of the gutter of other hyperscalers, starting with a horrible HR policy.

Oh and that is based on the idea that NetApp actually pays commissions. We on month 4 and still not information on payments. Finance is stretched, so they say.

Begs the question, is NetApp led by incompetent fools, or malicious id--ts.

Post-2025 layoffs, it seems like at least once a week there’s a new post from people concerned about the direction of the company or about their own future and well-being within the company. I’m glad that this safe space exists so that we can vent.

Even though I am no longer with the company, and I’ve since moved on, this has become one of my favorite past times over a cup of coffee in the morning to read through the threads. ☕️ If anything, reading through the comments confirms and continually reaffirms to me that though it wasn’t my decision to leave, they did me a favor.

Old routine: Enjoy a cup of coffee, go heads down and be productive before meetings.

New routine: Log and be immediately bombarded by IMs and meeting invites by offshore contractors that don't understand the work because they log off earlier than you and just cannot attend meetings.

May the force be with all of us...

Welcome to the new FactSet to ring in the new fiscal year. Demolishing the company culture and we all just have to be grateful to not get laid off. This guy has been here for less than six months lol

Pretty sure she is purposefully sabotaging wholesale

I work in a flagship mall location
The best way I can describe this vibe in this store is cult like
And if you are not in the cult or have a mind of your own you are shunned

A bunch of people have quit and said once you go work someplace else, it’s very evident that belk is a cult

The current union has little to no presence on the floor. There are lots of new employees, yes some of them are lost causes and that’s the narrative more experienced members will run with. Regardless, a lot of new people are not associated or familiar with our union and unfortunately won’t be till radio silence is broken for either a big election or contract. There was no communication last contract until they were looking for us to amend what they presented. A little packet, two excel sheets, vote on that, and no you can’t have anymore details and the FULL contract is confidential.

I would really like some outreach from the union to the floor outside of union meetings, in this day and age there should be other avenues of communications.

If there is no change from the elected union officials then their time in their cushy jobs will be short lived. Though they are not allowed to campaign on company time, I am allowed to make sure they don’t get elected on company time.

So yeah, course correction anyone?

No Matter How Good You Are. If you are in a wrong place, you become truly worthless. Take it easy and move on. World is Big and You will win soon.
All the Best

you guys hired one of the worst managers in your compliance teams to fill up the role in the compliance team . she was one of the worst managers I ever had plus zero understanding of the space. glad she was hired by frost. enjoy ruining your culture & program. soon it will be realized. I hope she hires the baby ducks left here.

Within the next two weeks. It will be a blood bath!

Is the only word that can describe PayPal

If we have to pre-submit questions, it's not an AMA. That last A stands for "anything", meaning your filtering of submitted questions removes the "anything" from the "Ask Me".

There is no better way to communicate to employees that you DGAF about employee-relevant questions.

"If you're working, you're not working hard enough. And if you are working hard enough, you're not working long enough. And if you are working long enough, you're not passionate enough. And if you are passionate enough, well, you're not hustling enough. And if you are hustling enough, you're not loyal enough. And if you are loyal enough, you're not focused enough. And if you are focused enough, well, then you can kind of see how this goes..." J. Fluke

I’m getting a lot of “my purpose“ recognition notifications from a bunch of executives I have never met and aren’t even in my hierarchy. Like I don’t report to them in any way shape or form. Almost like they are mistakingly recognizing me, when they mean to recognize somebody else. Has anyone else? I appreciate the effort, but considering how awful this company has been to work for the last two or three years it seems pretty disingenuous. The engagement survey starts next week, the new CEO starts today, etc. It just feels like a bunch of exacts are trying to cover their a-s.

Consider yourself cooked if you're paid higher than your peers.

Which one is better

At the risk of sounding like I’m “whining” to my opps… yeah, I’m talking to you. 😂

Lemme get this right… Centene just hired the former Fannie Mae CIO to lead technology, data, and AI.

Sarah London: ”We are entering a new era where data, technology and AI are not just business enablers, but strategic capabilities that shape how we operate, innovate and create value.”

Meanwhile they’ve been cutting internal technology capabilities, pushing a ton of work to Accenture and Cognizant, reorganizing everything that isn’t nailed down, and shedding institutional knowledge along the way.

And the new CIO says: “I look forward to building on the strong foundation already in place…”

😂

So… cut, outsource, reorganize, shed institutional knowledge, then announce that technology, data, and AI are strategic capabilities and hire someone to “build on the strong foundation.”

They are effin brilliant. 🙃

Pretty straightforward chronicle of how Stankey and his fellow RTOstans are creating the very Gen Z and Gen Alpha attitudes they constantly whine about. I sure as he-l know that I wouldn’t tell my kid to go for a corporate job after my experience in this world.

"Skynet became self aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th". (Couple of days ago)

This was once science fiction.

A.I. is the birthing canal.

Dell has found iut they no longer "need" biological humans to survive.

We are all...expendable

First time in years I have heard NOTHING regarding Tell Dell results. Don’t get me wrong, I know the report if phony but usually the HR cronies are able to muster up some sort of positive spin on abismal results. Looks like this year there was literally nothing positive to spin.

Based on recent organizational/Team changes throughout the company, recent executive departures, plans leaving states, hospitals/PCP going out of network ( Especially in NY) and the employee sentiment on this page, Centene feels like a sinking ship, and is sinking faster than anyone could have anticipated.

Do you miss us yet?

FIS Indian employees getting onto interview panels and rejecting qualified American candidates in favor of preferred candidates.
Interview questions and confidential hiring information being passed to friends or associates before interviews.
Interviewers receiving commissions or kickbacks when preferred candidates are hired, including payments connected to staffing vendors.
Once hired, favored employees receiving better assignments, visibility and promotion opportunities.
American workers being given unrealistic deadlines, criticized, marginalized and eventually pressured to resign.

Their words for what happens inside the company:
“This is called systemic pressure.”

Then they describe a second type of “syndicate.”
According to the source, managers and their subordinates become partners in grocery stores and restaurants, particularly around Atlanta, Jacksonville and Brown Deer. They rotate responsibilities so one of them is always at the business, creating another source of income outside their corporate jobs.

We’re constantly told FIS Indian is about hiring the “best and brightest” and the “most qualified.”

But what if the American candidate never had a fair shot in the first place?

Positive the employee value proposition that will be rolled will only be favorable to the ones who decided what the change would be.

I came to this nation 20 years ago, and everywhere I go—whether it’s a shopping area, a park, School, an office, or a hospital—I have always witnessed the kindness, warm smiles, and compassion of the American people. However, I now worry about whether my children will receive that same love in the future because of the actions of some of our fellow Indians. In my own workplace, I have seen instances where Indian professionals undermine their American colleagues, making them feel inadequate or even pushed out of their jobs. Through overbearing behavior in meetings, manipulation, and even falsified experience, I fear these actions will negatively impact how this community is perceived.

I will deduct it from my 40 hours on Friday. By lunch on Friday I will have my 40 hours and head home. Gotta love the culture Stank created!
