They are constantly laying people off!

Hows the politicking going on in our most political function?

fun times!

I feel like this is something bigger than just RTO FT.
There are no jobs listed and I’m still waiting on hearing on an internal job I interviewed for weeks ago.
HR is missing in action.
This is really weird it’s like something has happened behind the scenes or they know something cataclysmic is about to drop.
But I’m getting a very bad feeling on this entire shift.
Maybe in six months or even three we’ll see the big picture but right now it’s blurrier than a Monet.

I work as a nobody sitting on the SLT floor everyday. They don’t even like using your bathrooms and call people that don’t work on the SLT floor “the people down there”. Do you think they care about anything you write here? They are too busy group texting each other d-mb selfies from sports game suites.

in the entire corporate world.

Not just among oil majors. Look it up. That’s it, that’s the post.

Forged Fiber is hiring for remote positions. AT&T’s own careers site currently shows remote and virtual openings.

So apparently remote work is good enough for some parts of the company, but the rest of us need to be in the office five days a week.

Same company. Same technology. Same Teams calls. Same internet. Yet two completely different sets of rules.

I guess they finally figured out that telling candidates they have to report to an office five days a week isn’t exactly a great way to attract talent. But somehow the employees already here are still being told that five-day RTO is essential.

If a job can be done remotely when you’re trying to hire someone, why can’t it be done remotely after you’ve hired them?

This is exactly why people don’t buy the BS argument that 5x RTO is about productivity. It’s a policy choice.

And apparently even AT&T knows when it needs to make a different choice to get the talent it wants. This place is really a joke.

I keep reading these posts about Verizon having once been a utopian workplace and a pure meritocracy. I joined in 2010 and it was anything but. It was more profitable and had a better network than its competitors but it was no meritocracy. There were lots of incompetent "leaders" and DEI had nothing to do with it because they were not minorities. It was also very cliquey.

So when was this mythical golden age that I missed out on?

How is this STILL happening? This should be one of the easiest things imaginable to get right... you’ve only had YEARS to figure it out…. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at the incompetence.

We’re being told five-day RTO is important enough to monitor and enforce, while the system they’re using to monitor it can’t even produce an accurate report.

And we’re supposed to trust this data enough for it to impact employees? What a fu-k!ng joke.

When I started here, I was always willing to jump in and help when someone needed coverage. I figured taking on extra work would show that I was dependable and committed. Instead, those temporary tasks slowly became part of my regular workload, with nothing taken off my plate. I've definitely stopped volunteering as much.

Overworked teams, siloed decision making, two inept VPs. When will things change? These changes post re-org have made everyone feel miserable and the work has suffered.

I've seen good people try to make things better repeatedly. They proposed ideas, challenged bad processes, and tried to push change, and all they got for that was being put on the next layoff list. The only way to survive this place is to keep your head down and do what you're told. The new Dell way.

Want to congratulate all my peers for an amazing job we have done! 2 nights at the hotel patting each other on the back is amazing! Love Verizon

You Chevron haters are just deadweight. You’re pretending to work while hating our company and contributing to cr-ppy morale. Why don’t you just leave? If you’re so unhappy here… Just leave? We don’t need your Dunning–Kruger effect, grandiosity and inflated sense of your contributions and importance. This victim mentality is a tired and boring look. Don’t let the door hit you in the butt. #Bye-bye.

Will re-join the sandpaper lab this fall (worked there 8 years ago). seen lots changed in 8 years. All managers, from VP to supervisors, are new faces from CRPL, and all senor technical folks are new faces. Talked with some folks in the lab and they are not much friendly. Met few old friends who are still working there but seems not very happy either. not sure it is a right move.

Each Ford Motor Company employee’s job is to make Bill Ford and the Ford family rich.

That'd be it. That's the post.

Nothing else matters, not you, not the customer.

And it’s allllll over LinkedIn. (Eyes rolling).

All that remains to be seen is how many of her flying monkeys will remain and if there is anything left to be salvaged at Paradigm after the last disaster of a year.

I am considering a job opportunity at L3harris Amityville, NY. Does anyone know the future outlook of this site and how the work culture over there is? I am seeing there was a building that closed down there this year but what about rest of the buildings? Any insight would be highly appreciated. Thanks

My dept is losing high quality high performing employees. In my personal experience, my PL is an airhead that has absolutely no idea what they are doing. Has earned his title by faking it up the corporate ladder and with our losses they are not capable of picking up the extra work around. Is Centene reviewing the anon employee surveys. This would shed light on a trend that PLs are aweful when it comes to helping us get our work done. I wish these people would be let go of first. Thoughts? State your dept/state

Arizona employees — we see what’s happening.

Arizonans, we want to hear from you.

Leadership keeps telling us they “don’t know” what’s happening, but then how do they explain all the background changes?

You don’t make major structural changes unless you’re preparing for something.

And it’s starting to feel like leadership genuinely believes employees are too stupid to notice.

Someone crucial to the daily and long-term operations of our team was let go today in a RIF. Our work will slow down and become more difficult because of it. Those we support will feel the consequences, too.

Don’t let anyone tell you that those let go are only the bad employees. This was someone with years of dedicated service who performed at a high level. Leadership at this company is only interested in a short term gains. There is no longterm strategy.

Are you feeling connected? Energized? Valued?

Do you feel as though your L21 efforts are improving things for our customers?

and she is firing people again. Is not insane!
IT IS DIABOLICAL!!!! IS A DEMON!

What was even the point of SETH today? Another town hall that seemed like a total waste of time.

Theres more chance of Jesus Christ reappearing on earth this week than there is of PayPal announcing layoffs

They are a bunch of absolute scaremongering sc-ms

Boycott them for life

While forcing employees to return to the office and laying off office workers, the director of security response and his direct report have been working from home in their sweatpants from Texas for years.

We are never getting free of him. That SETH answer was pretty much “I don’t want to retire, the board is happy with me, your happiness doesn’t matter, take your extra money and shut up”

Wondering why the rush
This is either good or bad :-D

So apparently we’re being told our activity is being tracked… but no one can tell us what activity they’ve tracking yet. 😂

Like… what exactly are you monitoring? Keyboard activity? Teams status? Logins? Time in applications? Mouse movement? Because I’M WORKING LOL.

“We’ll let you know soon what’s being tracked” is such a wild thing to tell employees. What the f&$% are we doing here?! 😂

Blue suit and black socks….poor choice Mike

After the layoffs, they placed people who have no idea what they're doing in management positions over teams, they have NO clue what they do. It's so insulting to a team, to have a manager ask you "what exactly do you do" or "how do you do this?" because you laid off their supervisor who handled all of this work.

No training or anything, no wonder why Cigna wants to sell us.

Those getting NI at meta are coping by saying 'we are still top 1% of all engineers in tech'. Can you imagine the arrogance ? Many mediocre DEI hires are still working here. They were hired NOT for their ability. Combine that with ethnic favoritism where a true NI never gets NI b/c manager and report are from same country. Meta needs a deep cleanse, a reset. The toxicity has hit a new high.

We home office associates find this award horribly ironic. Wonder how much they had to pay to make it on this list.

When are they supposed to have the ratings in? Wondering how long I need to just slightly above bare minimum. I can’t give any extra energy to this place for the next X days until bonus and profit sharing pays out.

Been here for six years, top performer, got zero promotions. "Promotion coming" has been a chorus I've been hearing almost weekly for the past three years. And yet here I am, still waiting. If you want to grow your career, make sure to stay away as far as you can from Cigna.

What's the point of giving anything beyond the minimum?

It's losing its reason. It used to be a way of life, then a career, then a job. Now it's just an insecure paycheck. The current management seems focused on running it into the ground, and nobody's fighting to save it. Watching a once-great company circle the drain is brutal.

Fear doesn't motivate. It just empties the building of the people you actually need.

Live Nation and Veeps have laid off nearly all employees at several influential music publications. These publications, including BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, Revolver, and Goldmine, were vital to underground music culture. Experts note that corporate acquisitions often lead to such outcomes for independent media. The loss is seen as a significant blow to alternative and punk music scenes. This move comes despite Live Nation's recent strong financial performance.
