Assessment themes are total BS. Such a joke and they are so proud of them. I would love to feed the list into AI and see what it says about the fairness and objectivity of it.

"To make its workforce “AI native,” Meta explored slashing the size of many teams across the company by as much as 60% in two waves, internal documents show. Staff revolted - and hours before a big layoff in May, the CEO called off planning for further cuts."

MD on the other hand, obviously doesn't care. Yay! (:D)

I’ve been asked to interview for a role in Europe, anybody have insight?

Every time I bring up an idea my supervisor has someone else work on it and then pretends like it was their idea. How am I ever going to assess well when the feedback is always that you have to do more than your job description?

How many employees are put in the lowest two buckets (needs improvement and developing contributor) . What if you have been unfairly out into that bucket. Is there any point in challenging it ?

Who was the genius who decided that a Satisfied customer response equals a 1 out of 5? We're asking for emails for someone spending 2 seconds in the store getting a coke, to get a survey email and sc--w us over.

These upper id--ts will just send in whatever they want and load up our backrooms and pi-s off store management. Mondelez upper management is so clueless.

More layoffs are set to roll out in America on Monday. I'm numb. 2.48 billion dollar revenue but they still decide to layoff the people making it happen. This is beyond parody. SHAPE survey comes out and says people are unhappy and Synopsys leadership decides to keep beating the dead horse. Unbelievable

Anyone received a feedback on performance and raise, what was percentage?

Idk where to begin but I feel the website is an absolute trash. Like batshit trash.

I tried to add the Google AI pro on my FIOS plan and well, you can't.

Why the heck it is so difficult to navigate through the website?

Same with Verizon Dollars, can't find what is the balance on my Verizon dollars. The chatbot does not respond.

Tried to call in the service rep, it literally said the VOICEMAIL iS FULL and hanged up. My wife next to me literally started laughing as how can a company this big is so full of cr-p.

Doesn't usually take this long. I didn't expect them to be positive because points at everything, but with how long they've been holding back results, they must be BAD bad this year.

Anyone heard anything?

A few months ago I was talking to a recruiter about coming back to Fidelity after I got laid off. When I spoke to them, they said something like "it's a huge relief I don't have to explain that whole connect week thing to you compared to other people I call". They also said "yeah... it's gonna be an experiment".

From the outside looking in, you can tell a lot of these people in HR have opinions on what's going on that they don't want to be outward about. Anti bootlicking opinions. Or at least that's what I see. They hate the new laws of the land, they're just the ones that have to enforce them.

So, if you're in HR, if you feel comfortable sharing, what do you think about all this?

What is up with the Voya 401k website? Broken links. No access to adjusting funds.

Is it me or the IRR testing is harder
this year with lots of confusing choices sometimes there’s no correct answers?!!

Please note that none of the surveys in Synopsys are anonymous.

In last yearst Shape survey, there was a question whether you believe in CEO Gh@zi leadership. All L6/M6 and above who rated 3/2/1 have either been laid off or are in the layoff pipeline.

So, play safe and give 5 ratings to such questions, basically lick the @ss in surveys unless you are in notice period.

Any other groups receive a request for employees to provide their top 3 “accomplishments” this year? Seems odd for this outside of mid year / year end reviews.

Current XOM is like a skydiver that was forced to jump out of the plane not wearing a parachute while being required to report back to the Flight Crew every 10 seconds with a status update.

For the first several updates, everything is going exactly per plan and the Flight Crew, especially the Captain, pats themselves on the back, hands out record bonuses to each other and determines that everything is going so great, the other skydivers on the plane are forced to jump sans-chute too.

But that last status update will eventually come in from the Ground Crew and no one but the Flight Crew will be surprised.

The brown nosers replying to Bill's retirement post on LinkedIn make me sick! Bill ran this place into the ground!

OH and OK added as ICHRA states. Does this mean we no longer have the option to choose from the 4 options we had before?

I've heard from IN folks ICHRA is AWFUL, not accepted country wide and lacking providers who actually take the plan...

We’ve had a lot thrown at us over the last 18-24 months. How’s everyone feeling?

...I woke-up this morning & logged-in without coffee yet, dutiful as ever, only to be blasted half awoken by the new wallpaper shooting bright white laserbeams directly into my face.

You can't hate what this place has become enough. Just so fücking stupid & pointless to have no agency in even setting a desktop background. It's still burning into my face as I gripe.

Message/orders understood - I'll only ever work when it's light outside, fücking id--ts.

As others here I'm on PIP. First time on this strange improvement plan program...

I heard it from the Big Man himself.
There will be announcement late November stating that WFH Mondays are back 1/1/2027.
The main motivation is all the feedback in the CES

I remember when Target was well known for solving internal problems quickly.

It's been 2 years since I've had a skip level status. Most of my team didn't take the best team survey because they don't believe it works. The biggest problem on our team was never followed up on after the survey.

Get your sh-t together, Target. How about instead of calling consultants you actually talk to the people who work there.

I know people have strong opinions about this.

It's only vibes and fake narratives. 0% substance or achievements.

That'd be the entire post.

Any warning shots from managers about MIP or changes in ratings etc?

Every year, employees are asked to be honest and say how they really feel. We take the time to fill out the survey, the results are reviewed, presentations are made, and action plans are discussed.

And then… what actually changes?

Less than meets. Received email today that my mid year was updated. There are more notes. Asked manager, they said we'd talk tomorrow. This happen to anyone else?

No thought went into the Admin overhead / the quality of a roll out at this scale. we are going backwards ugh!

Come on! Can we be real here!

Company News: The "Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards" - where out of 20 awards issued, 19 went to Optum India.

Way to rub the outright, blatent, anti-USA descrimination into the faces of your employees, a--hats!

I won’t read whatever nonsense this is, but hoping someone can just translate for us whatever new intentional misery this will be bringing to being employed here?

@VP Why does VZ waste money promoting internal employee videos, newsletters, emails on internal website, most employees do not have time to watch list, read, listen but do their 8 hour work.Personally, I work on my feet, not at a desk,yet local manager sends out emails I don't read until days, weeks later, unless I take my lunch.

Nothing useful comes out of them anymore.

My interview loop was cut short with no reason other than the position was no longer available. Quite annoying but thankfully, the recruiter reached out before I invested more time in the process.

This guessing game is getting tiring.

This company has become so toxic. I am an internal candidate applying to do what I went to graduate school for and have over a decade of experience doing the tasks at the company. I have mentors very high up in the department. I reached out to the hiring manager when I applied and she wanted to interview me. 2 months went by under “pending further review.” I get my denial today stating I was qualified but they went with someone else. I email the manager asking for polite feedback. I never got the interview I was promised. When I asked for feedback? I got no response. Completely unprofessional.

What has happened? Is this just nepotism? I don’t think I want to work for a company that has such toxic hiring practices. This is just across the board. For every position you apply you get treated like trash, regardless of how many years you have with the company. It’s absolutely outrageous that we treat our internal candidates like this.

This just stiffens my resolve to leave this backwards company. So much for over a decade wasted at this company.

I am met

Is there anyone who has been able to successfully use the new home buyer benefit? It seems like you upload a deed or a final closing document and then you’re reimbursed for an amount of $6500?

Does anyone have any personal experience with this yet? Any feedback is appreciated.
