The recent job title changes were not a coincidence - these were done to setup an easier transfer of staff to Cognizant.

I worked here for five years, straight out of college, at the time I thought it was normal. Then I moved on to a competitor, and later a supplier. Ford was the worst of the bunch—terribly hostile relationships. I’m hearing from friends at Ford that things have gotten even worse than they were 10 years ago. Reflecting on my past, I must admit that I worked there, but not proud of it. If you’re a college graduate, I strongly advise you to avoid joining at all costs.

Be cautious with Product roles in Workspace at LSEG.

Many of these “open” roles already have a preferred candidate. The process can feel more about optics than real competition which means external applicants may be investing time into something that isn’t truly open.

And if you get rejected after interviewing, don’t take it personally it has little to do with your capability.

If you do interview, ask:

LSEG places strong emphasis on its values (integrity, partnership, excellence, and change) and the motto "Dictum Meum Pactum" how are these actually reflected in management, hiring decisions and internal mobility within this team?

The answers (or lack thereof) will tell you more than the job description ever will

The job market is terrible and is the only company that would accept me. Should I join as a CW or perm?

Anyone here left EDJ for a competitor in the St. Louis area that starts with an S? I’d really love some honest feedback on the culture.

I’m currently down to the final two candidates for a role there, and it comes with about a 30% pay increase. I already know three people who work there, and they’ve all said the culture feels more genuine. Less “cult-y” than EDJ, and way less corporate jargon. No constant “circle back,” “put a pin in it,” or meetings just for the sake of having meetings instead of actually getting work done.

What I’m really looking for is a place with real people and a normal, grounded culture. A team that communicates like humans and focuses on results without all the fluff or being micromanaged by layers of leadership. I don’t even care that they are in the office now. I don’t want to pretend to be a fake anymore. I want someone honest who is gonna say “I don’t know, I’ll find out” instead of “that’s a good question, let me get back to you” (and never do).

That said, I’m nervous. The pay is better, but I’d be giving up PTO accrual, and I’ve heard the benefits aren’t as good and are higher than what we have now.

I’m honestly torn. I want to leave EDJ, but I also know the grass isn’t always greener. If you’ve made a similar move, I’d really appreciate hearing how it worked out for you.

Tech job market implosion has begun, and even before massive layoffs at Oracle and Meta.

No extra pay, no discussion, just "figure it out." I'm doing two jobs and burning out fast. Anyone else dealing with this?

Anybody currently work this role or know someone in it? Looking for any reports how you like the role and your day-to-day functions. Also if targets are achievable or there is high turnover in the role.

I was casually looking at the Optum internal job postings and I didn't filter to United States and out of curiosity I clicked on a couple offshore job postings. Guess what the referral bonus amounts I saw are $20,000 & $37,500.

It blew my mind. Stateside referral bonuses are usually $500 or $1000.

Geezus!

I am thinking of applying for a job at DXC but saw the BBC news. Any thoughts?

I’ve been watching the news about layoffs at Oracle and it brought back a lot of memories.

Years ago, working at Oracle was my dream job. It was one of the most prestigious names in tech and I was excited to be part of it.

But the reality, at least in my experience, was very different.

For the eight years I worked there, it was the most unstable job I ever had. Every quarter felt like a countdown to the next round of layoffs. Thousands of people would be cut and everyone wondered if their number was next. The culture at the management level was extremely aggressive and political. There was constant pressure, constant internal competition, and very little sense of long-term stability.

To be fair, the colleagues I worked with were fantastic. I made a lot of lifelong friends there and many of them were incredibly talented people.

But the environment eventually forced me to make a decision.

Instead of waiting for the next round of layoffs, I spent nearly two years quietly preparing my exit. I upgraded my skills, repositioned my career, and eventually moved on.

That decision changed everything.

I’ve now been at my current company for seven years. Last year I made nearly three times what I was making before. I enjoy the work, feel valued, and have compensation and stock options that actually reward performance.

Like any business, layoffs can happen anywhere. But the difference is that today I have modern, in-demand skills and a role where I’m excited to show up every day.

Looking back over a 40-year career, I’ve lived through a lot of economic cycles:

• The 1987 stock market crash
• The Dot-com crash of 2000
• The 2008 global financial crisis, and in 2012 Housing Bubble
• The COVID market crash of 2020

Through all of that, I’ve never been laid off once.

That wasn’t luck. It was about continually adapting, learning new skills, and being willing to take control of your own future rather than waiting for a company to decide it for you.

Sometimes the best career move you can make is the hardest one: deciding it’s time to leave.

When I was in analytics at Accenture, they had a tool where you could see how many people at the company were hired after you. I checked it three months in, and 70% of the company had been hired after me. That is how high the turnover was.

My honest opinion is that Accenture exploits insecure overachievers. The company oversells projects, understaffs them, and then blames employees when they cannot make up the difference. And because so many of those employees are wired to overperform, they end up blaming themselves for a gap the company created in the first place.

To me, Accenture was the epitome of the emperor has no clothes. Everything felt like smoke and mirrors. Projects were sold on buzzwords, polished decks, and vague promises, but underneath all of that, the work often felt hollow. In reality, a lot of it seemed to come down to helping companies cut people so they could save money, just dressed up in corporate language.

Aside from government, I have never seen an organization so good at gaslighting. Their rhetoric is incredibly polished. Whoever handles their employer branding is very, very good at making the whole thing sound meaningful, exciting, and prestigious.

But my actual experience was one bad experience after another, including HR involvement. At a certain point, when something is clearly not right for you, life keeps pushing you until you finally leave. That is what it felt like.

What got to me most was how empty everything felt. I remember walking around feeling like I was looking for somebody real. Like, hello? Is anyone actually here? But everyone felt like a polished wax figure version of a person. Nobody was really saying anything. Nobody was really doing anything. I would sit in all hands meetings thinking, are you guys okay? It felt like this strange fraternity where everyone worshipped the same corporate god, and I just did not believe in it.

The work itself was also so general and vague that I never felt like I was building real, transferable skills. That was one of the worst parts. Friends of mine who worked there felt the same way. We would look at job postings elsewhere and think, I cannot actually do most of this. How is that possible after working at a company that is supposedly so respected?

That is what made it feel so trapping.

Somehow the company is revered, but at the same time, I felt less employable the longer I stayed.

Does anyone have insight into how this might impact US operations?

Dell had a record breaking 120 BILLION dollar year last year, along with amazing quarters and yet... IBP multiplier was only 126%??? Raises were literally pathetic, promotions are MIA for US employees. Insperity points have been super scarce lately as well.

I love my job simply because it's actually fun, interesting, and easy... along with the fact that I work about 30 hours/week however, I'm failing to see the point in doing anything more than the bare minimum of my job at this point.

resign from your boring Oracle jobs and pack it all up and move yourself to West Virginia and apply to Coal miners' jobs there. Every coal mine is West Virginia is hiring coal miners right now. These jobs pay high wages and offer excellent benefits, and you can work all the overtime you want to work. You get to work with some pretty cool equipment as a coal miner. The only problem is you have to pass a mandatory and random dr-g tests. Let's face the music about that because a lot of you at Oracle, especially Gen Z's aren't going to pass a dr-g test even if you are d-mb enough to try and fake it.
