TR was the worst mistake of my career

Joined TR was promised growth opportunities. Came here and it’s nothing but chasing a carrot on a stick. Manager kept saying visibility etc but I felt like that was just an excuse to make me do more work. I have the work of a Lead but do not have the title or pay.

On top of this there is no internal mobility because guess what’s the cherry on top of the cake? They offshored 90 percent of jobs in my org for roles I’d consider because it’s cheaper! Thanks TR! Oh on top of this annual layoffs!


Does Ford ever make counteroffers?

I was just wondering if it's common here. When someone puts in their notice at Ford, does management ever try to get them to stay with a better offer on the spot? I haven't seen it happen to anyone on my team, but I know some other companies do it. I'm just curious if it's even a thing they consider.


Former FLNA ZBM/GTM Employee

Some thoughts on the recent letter that came out from Jen Wells (Chief People Officer, lol…). I am a former employee - I left the org to pursue a completely different career in the public sector six months ago and could not be happier.

I have been an RSR, DSL, ZBM, Change Leader among a few others during my decade+ with PepsiCo on the Frito side.

To those that know someone who, despite their great qualities, have been swept up in the layoffs: rejoice; everyone will feel a great weight lifted from their shoulders on their last day with company. The entirety of my career at PepsiCo was fraught with stress, sleepless nights, and fear of being punished for things completely out of my control.

I sacrificed a great deal for the organization at great personal cost - I know I’m not alone in this experience. Many times I felt I had to choose work over family, and for what? Chips? Ridiculous.

Even the minutia of missing a price tag in the market resulted a full blown 1:1 with a senior leader and a reprimanding.

The perspective of these spineless leaders to crack down on meaningless metrics is simply an admission that they do not know why the company continues to fall flat on its face. At the end of the day, when THEIR boss comes knocking, they can say “well look! I did X 1:1’s and sent all of these emails to make sure we executed in the market! It can’t be my fault!”

All this to say, leverage your resumes, don’t burn bridges with people you enjoyed working with, and support each other through the changes - they’re coming one way or another.

Best of luck - you’re better off without this place.


Do better South Carolina Verizon!

So my store was safe from those agent weirdos or whatever and that made me happy BUT Just found out we’re getting passed to another DM. That’s literally the fifth one in six months. Is this place actually a joke??
And of course, it’s her. She’s actually a total NPC. She acts like a robot and thinks leading by fear is a flex. It’s so so bad. She cares about nobody but herself.. I’ve  dealt with her before and it’s a nightmare.

To make All this even worse daily I hear is 'layoffs this' and more closures that.' Honestly? I hope this new whole giant district exposes these incompetent “leaders” so they can finally see what it feels like to be just a number. Thought about spamming Dan’s stupid feedback thing  but like he actually cares? Yeah right. Whatever. 2026 here we come


Hypocrisy

HC had a meeting to talk about feedback on the new policy and out of our 7 wealthy white SLT GP's FIVE were working from home, one was even taking the call from the car??? It's Tuesday, isn't Tuesday a required in office day? So for you marginalized peons with four kids working a part-time job because we don't even pay you enough, be in your seat from 8-5, we will do whatever we want.


More ISPs in Operations

Division meeting today just ended. T.P says more ISPs coming. No number given, just the same ole same ole "transformation" jargon. Also, 700 HBAs impacted by the new RTO policy. They did this knowing a lot of those folks will rage quit or simply not be able to do RTO, leading to termination. Why is EDJ leadership actively at war with the very people who make the company home office work? It sure as Sh1t aint the GPs pulling this wagon.

MW and friends are desperate and out of ideas

Chevron will continue to decline as long as the current crop of executive leaders are at the helm. They are simply out of ideas. The stock price has been moving sideways for years despite buybacks, cost cutting, acquisitions and divestitures, and layoffs. Our reserves impress nobody. Our projects still run over budget and over schedule. Exxon is eating our lunch.

The executives are desperate and all they can think to do is desperately flail at changing the window dressings and offshoring more work to cut costs, quality be damned and forget about increasing reserves or investing in exploration. They talk about AI hoping to ride some of that wave in the market but it’s just lip service at this point.

They forgot we’re an oil and gas company and now all of us peons have to pay the price for their lack of competent leadership and dereliction of duty. It’s going to get worse before it gets better - and it’s never going back to what it was. If you’ve got more than 5 years left in your career and have a decent alternative employment opportunity I’d highly recommend taking it.


Remote promotions

I’m curious with the changes to remote if I would still be eligible to move up in my role to the next job grade. As of 2025 I was able to. I know a new position all together would be hub only.

Also, can a remote employee still earn an extraordinary performance?

Any managers or HR here that can share insights please?


CVS Misunderstanding Clarification - NOT RELATED TO PRESCRIPTIONS

For the avoidance of doubt:

  • “CVS” refers exclusively to Connected Vehicle Services, a division responsible for vehicle connectivity systems, diagnostics, software interoperability, and associated service delivery.
  • Discussions or references to external pharmacy entities (including retail pharmacy terminology) are *not applicable in this context and should not be used in professional communication, documentation, or reporting.

Yes, it’s confusing. No, we won’t change the name.

Recently, there has been an increase in informal commentary including eye‑rolling, sarcasm, impulsive sighing, repeated references to color associations (notably orange hues), and metaphorical language around unexpected operational incidents.

To maintain clarity of communication and alignment with organizational values, employees are encouraged to refrain from directing questions to unrelated external entities and projectiles (e.g., inquiries about over‑the‑air "balloons" or pharmacy analogies regarding connectivity issues). This is to ensure our products are released by 2030 as part of our vision to increase diversification economically, socially, and culturally through Model e.


Manager constantly making false promises

I’m exhausted from hearing the same promises over and over again about backfilling positions that never actually get filled. We’re overloaded, the work keeps piling up, and every month we’re told help is coming, but it never does. Add in the empty promotion talk, and it’s getting harder to stay quiet.


The layoff process makes no sense

I can't understand the logic the leadership is using to choose who stays and who goes. They've let some really skilled people go recently for no clear reason. Some newer folks as well, who joined maybe a year or so ago. Their decisions just seem completely random.


It’s good ol’ boy and gal networks not DEI

I keep seeing these comments blaming being laid off and the sorry state of the company on DEI. That wasn’t the case in my experience. In my case there were good ol’ boy networks that took care of their own. You didn’t need to be white or to be a man to be part of the network but it helped. Some individuals were so good at playing this game that they were part of more than one network. They managed to be part of whatever network was ascendant.

Diversity and inclusion was just pretend where I was. Almost everything was just pretend. It would be comical like a parody if it weren’t for the consequences.

With nearly 100,000 employees in many locations, it’s possible that others had a different experience than mine.


Years of DEI is catching up to Target

Target tech and product is cooked.

If fidelky thinks he’s going to get anything out his tech team, he’s stoned out of his mind. (I spelled his name wrong - it’s not worth the time spelling it right)

This is the most reactionary/pedestrian group of senior leaders ever assembled. And if you add to that the layer of DEI VPs over the last 8 years, you will get leaders who monitor sprint metrics while the place burns down around them.

Glad that I landed a new job outside Target -staying at target is worse than getting laid off. It’s a complete clown show funded by a bunch of ignorant stock holders and board. good luck all - use Christmas to reassess your career.


The core problem with Citi is the MD gremlins.

Gremlins that instead of fostering an environment of positive growth in such a way that you WANT to be here and others from the outside WANT to be part of Citi……

You have gremlin MDs that rely on desperate people that NEED to be here. These are people who are easy to bully, manipulate and whip into servitude and long hours and sacrifice of personal time.

You can’t do that to those that are not desperate. I’ve seen quite a few already financially sound people on solid ground take a look around and “Yeah, no, this is not happening, there’s nothing here of any substance” and leave.

This in itself speaks volumes. The constant pumping out of notice after notice of “tough decisions” , “tough growth”, “hard messages”, “difficult changes” etc… is enough to deter anyone from hiring on to Citi. How do you draw in AND retain truly top talent from the outside given this environment. Sure, Citi can draw in the top talent but retaining them is another thing.


$1000 “Bonus”

I bet they shared this news when they did so they could get rid of a wave of rage-quitters before they hand out their “ever-so-gracious” 1k bonus in January. I know at the end of the year it’ll all even out, but it’s still such cr-p that our paychecks will be shorter on that first check, even with the bridge advance, due to the higher supplemental taxes.


New hire anxieties

I joined Cigna just a few months ago, and I have learned that layoffs are a constant and there’s a new round always looming. I am worried that being one of the newest people puts me at the top of the list. Hoping someone can explain if this is the case or if I might actually be safe.


RTO/ lay off impact

I am being laid off as a direct result of the company’s return-to-office policy. I do not live near an office and relocating without financial support is not feasible. Despite being a top performer, there has been no acknowledgment, appreciation, or even basic empathy from leadership regarding the impact this decision has on me or several of my teammates. And to add icing to this cake, we will not be given severance and we will not be given our annual bonus.This “business decision“ impacts livelihoods- kids, tuitions, rent/ mortgage, etc! So who’s getting richer off of this? RV is.

For anyone considering joining the company, it’s important to understand that people are treated as numbers, valued only for what they contribute to the stock until they no longer fit the model.


Looking for some info on layoffs

I am only a few months into my time here, and it is already sinking in that layoffs might be part of the landscape here, which has me more on edge than I expected to be so early into a new role. I am trying to get a sense of whether this is something people constantly brace for or if it is one of those things that happens in waves and then quiets down for a long stretch. I would like to know whether I should settle in and feel secure or keep my guard up because of the way things have been going lately.


Do better, with less, and less, and less

Every year they remove support services. Every year they want more. Next year we will be fixing our own computers. It will be literally diy everything (hr services, it, travel, hse, visa) oh and don’t work from home you get a roaming cube with no locker. At least it’s equitable, psg21-27. Would blow my mind being a 27 and using weeks of your annual time doing it, hr, admin services. Time value or money!


Too dangerous to RTO in the Northeast

We received 9 inches of snow yesterday and the streets and walkways are full of ice.

There will be many falls, injuries, and lawsuits as a result.

A responsible and reasonable corporation would have advised their employees to stay safe and work from home.

At least I punched the clock!
