Filtering on Japan and Australia show 0 jobs. Great job tools team on getting the query working! Way to go, VZ leadership export those jobs! I see positions listed that could have been filled by people that were recently riff'd. What a BS company (leadership, that is). Bunch of greedy sociopaths and bootlickers willing to do anything to fill their own pockets.

Wouldn't it be better to hear 'You're Fired' than go through the make believe process of creating fake reviews and then dropping the ax? Thoughts?

Did anyone else notice in the Kwapcast how they're already starting to soften the language about RTO?

It was indicated that the reason they didn't go for a 3 day RTO is because they felt like they'd only be able to get people to do 1 and it was suggested that by going for a 5 day RTO, they'll be able to get people to do 3.

Hold the line, ladies and gentlemen. I think Bill D's nonsense will blow over.

Averaging over 8 hours for the first 4 days of the week. I subtract that from my Friday hours so I average only 40 hours for the week. Just about time to go. I love the new culture that Stank has created. Have a great weekend. Remember, the Masters is next week so be sure to get bring in your personal tablet to watch from your desk on Thursday!

The Land Of Dots job cartel is for real.

I read about it here and elsewhere and thought, Ha, No.

I've seen multiple promotions and none of them make any sense.

Job Level 7 promotion to Squad Leader. She can't function in Excel, and got promoted from Level 4 to a Level 7 in less than 5 years.

Fidelity has been colonized.

So, layoffs are over and most of the VRP folks have left. David and Kari are headed toward the door. HIH hasn't gotten any worse. Spring is in the air.

With all that in the mix, how is the overall morale you are seeing among your team and co-workers in general?

Love seeing how these YEARS of instability and layoffs are finally paying off and that stock price is soaring. (Ouchy ouchy)

W.T.F.

Hint: Layoffs don't save companies.

What a s***show

Good old boys network has to GO.

Title says it all. Some areas are far worse than others.

I can't believe AIG is giving the UK off for Good Friday and Easter, bit not in the US.

Go look at the UK holiday calendar vs US, they get a lot more time off than we do.

Sad AIG doesn't treat everyone fair.

Maybe it’s because I’m just new-ish to Verizon but reading this article is the first I’ve heard of some of these talent initiatives…? Culture OS? Transparent career growth? Personalized development? Making it sound it seem like we’re some A-list people developer employer.

Am I just living under a rock or is this BS?

Manager double, triple booked, late for meetings, no clear direction to team, rude and condescending. How does one get a skip level meeting.

My analyst su-ks. Who hires these kids?

Just something I notice from working at Chevron over the years. A lot of Chevron employees are actually a lot more competent than their self-perceived level of competence. Most times, the smarter you are the more self-critical one can get because the tendency to question everything in itself is a core part of being intelligent.

After more than two decades here, how the he-l am I to take this as "just business?"

It won't be long before it's my or your turn to depart and face the real world and actually work for a living...

JPM is a company full of losers. Ship everything off Hyderabad and promote bootlickers to ED.

JPM has fallen….You id--ts who still work there deserve what you get.

trying to sanity check something.

I’m an engineer at Five9 and honestly I can’t tell if my team is just dysfunctional or if this is how things are across engineering.

In my team:

Communication is basically nonexistent. Half the time you don’t even know why decisions were made.
Priorities make zero sense. Everything is urgent until it suddenly isn’t, then something else becomes urgent. Also, the roadmap is always changing.
Managers don’t really seem to understand the technical side, which makes things worse.
Code quality is rough. No consistency, no standards, a lot of stuff just feels hacked together.
Documentation is almost zero, so you’re constantly guessing or reverse engineering things.
Architecture feels like it just “happened” over time instead of being designed.

It makes it really hard to do good work or build anything properly.

Genuinely curious: is this just my team or is this the general state of engineering here?

Would appreciate honest answers from people in other teams/orgs.

Does anyone remember the 25th anniversary party? If not, it was a huge party at Walnut Creek. The 50th is laid out like the spring picnics we had before COVID (and after the demise of the SAS winter parties (because of drunken debauchery..cough cough, I mean cost). SAS used to have such fun gatherings, and now the 50th anniversary is reduced to an on-campus picnic. I know there are bigger things to worry about, but from an optics and marketing perspective, it seems a little weak for such a milestone.

It's easier to send out an email like that one to thousands of human beings. Writing us off like office furniture.

If you want to have employment for life, pension and government provided insurance independent of work. move to a socialist country and stop crying about the employer's right to terminate employes at will.

Someone posted in the comments here... Please elaborate ?

Anyone else hear of others getting put on so called coaching plans? I was put on one last fall and somehow made it out. Others weren’t so fortunate. Hearing about some others here lately that have been put on them during Q3

Having worked with every one of them, I'm genuinely happy I'm leaving intel in two weeks. This is a fu--ing embarrassment.

Anyone know anything about a meet & greet in FW on 4/22, hosted my UHC Tech? Feels like a trap somehow lol.

I’ve never seen this many people leaving at once. This isn’t normal turnover. This is a mass exodus, and everyone knows exactly why.

You forced a five-day RTO that nobody wanted, layered on tracking that feels like a maximum-security system, and created an environment built on fear instead of trust. People held out hope it would get rolled back to something reasonable. The notorious 8/1 email ki-led that overnight.

Since then, it’s been a steady stream of exits with a significant ramp in 2026. And it’s not random. The people leaving are the ones with options. The ones who actually drove results. The ones you can’t replace.

Who replaces them? Not “top talent.” It’s the bottom quartile of talent, whoever is willing to accept a five-day, heavily monitored, in-office model in 2026. That’s a much smaller and much weaker pool. That’s just reality. It’s the most desperate undesirable people with no other options. Nobody is choosing this model if they have a better option.

So what you’re left with is predictable. High performers check out or leave. Everyone else learns the game. Swipe in, sit down, do the minimum, go home. Because that’s what you’re measuring now. Presence, not performance.

This is a direct result of the decisions being made in the c suite. And it’s hollowing the place out in real time. Congratulations stink, you’re going to be the chairman of nothing. Your legacy is tarnished and getting worse by the day. Tick tock, time is running out.

Things feel eerily quiet.

I heard a grapevine that citi is tracking the hours you are on your pc or you are offline/ away from your screen. Is there any truth to it? Can managers confirm?

When Brian got on stage, I heard someone say ‘what kind of BS today?’

It’s a good way to not have to say anything or face an audience unhappy with their raise when you hand out $9k in cash randomly. Is this normal?

Seriously. How is it possible to get out of the hole we are in? Can't lower prices, Customers don't want to come back to us, Can't gain trust to get new customers, Verizon is coming in. I wish Dennis or management would comment on how this company will start making money again! I have been here for a long time and I can't see a way to get out of this hole Altice put us in.

Our department has lost many members over last month, how are we supposed to handle the remaining workload effectively? Leadership in this organization doesn’t care about the people just the outcomes that they deliver for them to go to LinkedIn and post about. The culture has become so demoralizing that most of us no longer have the appetite to keep working without saying something.

Not as good of a worker as everyone thinks.

Very lazy and don’t like change in daily routine, but still wanna get paid.

It gets me out of the house, and wife says I need to have a job of sorts.

Anything you pick tells one loads about you and your lifestyle and future intent.

Title says it all. All of my doctors are with memorial hermann so I guess I will have to find new ones. Life just keeps getting better and better at excon. So far this year I have spent 1600.00 for a heart scan, 700.00 for specialized blood work and 200.00 for an emergency room co pay plus 10% 600.00. My co worker spent 1200.00 for a colonoscopy. Another exxon employee was denied GLP 1 medication because their a1c was too low for diabetes. Funny thing is without the glp1 medication their a1c was over 7 but with gp1 it was below 6.5. You would think with stock price and money exxon has made they could afford to take care of the employees health care not. I guess indian btcs don't need health care and it is cheaper in india. A company that does not care about the health of its employees is a shameful place to work at. It is not just exxon health insurance is getting worse for everyone in the usa.

One of the funniest things I’ve ever witnessed in corporate America happened last week. Our tone deaf executives stood in front of a room and shared a half a**ed set of things we should care about. Then instead of making their “I will” statements back to the work force they had employees “commit” to their ignorance by reading statements.

News flash: Read the surveys. Less than 20 percent of the company supports the leadership team. Rumor has it we are going back to the office because the biggest proponent of going back to office has a spouse he can’t stand 😆😆😆

The company is going through turmoil and more and more people will continue to leave, can’t blame them at all. Thank goodness I’m in the final round of interviews. Instead of making things better they are getting more erratic.

Nike started acting like Shoe King instead of a Shoe Dog, and that is the problem....Go back to your Roots and begin again! Don't try to correct. Start with a fresh outlook with the same thrive and energy as PK and Bill Bowerman....Do not RESTART! Rather STOP and RESTART FRESH!
