CTI location sux and upper management doesn’t care about their employees!

We have been told explicitly by our manger to expect that not everyone will get “meet expectations “, even if in reality you did meet the expectations.

I know these reviews are not as important as the year end, but what should we expect? Being put on a black list for the next layoffs?

How you’ve found value by just restructuring the company is amazing. But how you will continue to post growth at this circling the drain is beyond even the most experienced insiders when we know this growth is financially engineered. This is a slow motion train wreck and if you don’t take the GE people out of this picture, you will also lose value. It takes consistent incompetence and grifting to destroy something with this much history and momentum and you guys have showed up late to the party.

So why does John Stankey drive a Range Rover? Shouldn't he be driving a Ford, GM, or Buick? Disgraceful

Coworker passed along a message from HR received when asking about the 401K drop. Was told managers received these speaking points in advance to help explain this - any of you managers receive the below?

FAQ:

Why are we making this change?
The health care industry continues to experience uncertainty, especially in the policy environment. Because of this and our financial performance headwinds, we are being even more thoughtful about our resources. This change will align our three 401(k) plan options so that each plan has a consistent employer match of 3.5%. We remain in the competitive range with our peers while continuing to provide a comprehensive portfolio of benefits and well-being programs for our employees.

Who is impacted by this change?
The change to the employer match applies to both our plans. Employees eligible for these plans will be impacted by this change if they are eligible for the employer match and contribute to the plan.

Cringeworthy LinkedIn profiles for regional vp’s.

Staged store photos of everyone holding bogus awards or giving the camera the number “one” sign. (((Cringe)))

Describing jobs and management positions as “amazing opportunities “. Using words like “golden store”. “Winning team”. It makes my skin crawl. (Cringe)

It’s so misleading it’s actually very sad

Yet some poor soul will believe this and apply for one of these jobs

Wtaf!

I delivered 90% of the work, while someone from another team contributed only about 10%, and their portion was of very low quality. When it came to assigning credit for the project's success, I made it clear that I would take responsibility for delivering the work and owning the outcome. However, my manager insisted that I share the credit with the other person, even though he knows I did most of the work. It seems for relationship reasons.
This situation highlights a deeper issue: working under a weak manager who avoids conflict and doesn't back their people when it matters.
What advice do you have?

When is PDS feedback for this cycle?

I know some groups already concluded assessments…and Supervisors/Managers are starting to act funny…Are there teams that are yet to complete PDS assessments?

Give us the scoop on Lyons. Already sent corporate email to all of Truist saying hello. More info coming soon. We are ecstatic to get rid of our current CEO to a forced retirement.
What does Mike think about hybrid. Working from home 2-3 days a week?
From the Fiserv message board, looks like he joined Fiserv to be an axe man, now he is dragging his axe out to the next victim (Truist bank).
Does he realize most companies, especially in the financial sector are very top heavy.
Does he get rid of management, or the people at the bottom doing all the work.
Thanks for any advice you can share.

Recent diktat from India leadership: managers span of control needs to be 25-28 people. All people within a POD to be equally distributed among managers, no new managers will be hired or provided. Managers lives have been he-l: people’s management, operational delivery, sales targets, DNSO targets, support multiple accounts. Mickey M is sleeping at the wheel, globe trotting, staying in hotels, giving talks on Agentic AI - all this when delivery is burning. Kyndryl delivery ia fked. God save this company

At What age does your potential stop changing? For example, can potential still increase or decrease (based on performance) after you’re 40 or 50?

Who has the authority to change it? Your supervisor, manager or S&D?

Hope not, she has ruined FIG and it will be a drag to the financials for a long time because of her inability to lead

We could have ended up with somebody who has absolutely no idea what he/she is doing. At least there's that to be grateful for.

If you are a supervisor or above did you know this was being announced today?

Any truth to that?

Is that a bad look for the layoff list ?

1) Change the name of Truist. People still make fun of it.

2) Fire all management and hire business support groups to win business for the bank. Corrupt management has plagued this bank.

3) Get out of the d-mbest contracts alive with the golf sponsorship and the Braves. They add ZERO value. The bank has plummeted despite having these sponsorships and apply the money to better suit shareholders.

The only two who know it well enough to fix!

At this point if you are a manager in Dell at any level they have totally castrated you. Managers are HR policy holders, responsible for budgets and slide jockeys. Most of our management team is no longer technical and the people that are left kiss a$$ and say “yes” to pretty much anything.

Some love it, most hate it and want to get out. The scrum at scale debacle was finally scrapped but my favorite is that absolutely nobody was held accountable. This was a big driver of these changes.

Next AI as an excuse to just lay off more people and our managers will have to do it.

Dell stock is soaring for now but layoffs are on the way. Which will include a significant number of managers. This company has gone to he-l and the people in charge are destroying it but are too greedy and selfish to care.

Does anyone actually enjoy working here anymore? I used to like my job but now it's not worth it. The pay is not keeping up and management is even worse. Don't even get me started on all the cuts.

Not to long ago Mid and higher management would give a lot of notice before leaving the company. It seems like so many people are getting health issues and having to leave suddenly. This weekend a Chief retired with two weeks notice. I have never seen such high levels of stress before. Please everyone look after your health first as your families need you.

I’m hearing rumors again… Anyone with real knowledge know if VCG reps will be impacted or just upper management?

The World Cup unites countries and people thru soccer and sports conpetition. It appears RV is trying to stretch the BNY global brand thru a simple selfie pic on LinkedIn acting as if the FIFA World Cup excitement is energizing the BNY work culture.

I personally see almost no connection between soccer and BNY and even less of a connection between our CEO and all BNY associates and clients. The con man continues to turn tricks to manipulate public perceptions that BNY is globally connected, socially responsible, and cares deeply about its people. All I see his RV laughing it up with Alejandro Perez.

People..
October is going to be huge, directly sourced from management. I am calling it red October me. For you naysayers, add a reminder to your calendars for Halloween and come back here to talk about your worst nightmare and then thank me for alerting then!

The purge continues. 1/2 customer service social media team that supports customers vis social media channel were laid off and outsourced to Bangalore, India. Long time manager dating back to TSG included in layoffs. Hearing remaining half going after they train their replacements in India.

This company is so behind its time, pushing against goals and KPIs, working with bespoke systems and thinking they are superior.
Exec management tries to make the workforce more efficient while the common Associate has very limited MSFT Office skills (don’t get me started on AI…).
There’s significant pushback against any organizational changes or growth goals while there is a fatalistic approach that we’re all gonna loose our jobs.
Can’t wait to get the f*ck out of this he-l hole

Wow. Have you seen this? I just saw it. They’re talking about it all over—everyone is talking about it. Dan Schulman, the guy from Verizon. Great company, by the way, very big, very powerful, though frankly, the signal in Mar-a-Lago could be better. We’re looking into that.

But Dan—fake news Dan—he’s writing love poems. Can you believe it? Love poems! To his wife! And let me tell you, I’ve seen the poems. Total disaster. Weak. No vocabulary. Sad! He tells his wife her eyes have "low latency." Incredible. If I told Melania she had low latency, she’d lock me out of the penthouse. Total catastrophe. Dan is out there dropping calls in the bedroom. He’s got zero bars, folks. Absolutely zero bars. Sad!

Do you have the impression that your current managers in this company are psycopath ?

I was a Team Lead over the years. My biggest difficulty was non-support from my manager, directors, and VPs. We were stuck using tools that didn't work, and there was no funding to fix them or get better ones. Processes were stupidly designed, and nobody wanted to improve them. Great ideas are all shot down. Even cheap ideas are shot down. But we can cut thousands of jobs, fund a Mclaren race team, get g2 a $200k watch, etc.

Bumped from @mr+1kt16ne3e.

Is there opportunity for career advancement anymore once the merger goes through? My mates at BNSF say they don't see opportunities like they used to. The merger would mean more management to cull through already.

Today I learned I am going to the bench in the US. Been a manager with IBM/Kyndryl for 18+ years and also forced to tell at least 6 of my employees so far they will also be moved to the bench. Bridge has to cut >$5m from the budget, overall CTO much more. Employees impacted in the US, India and Costa Rica as I know currently. All while they hire more VPs and pay huge stock dividends to the execs and tout the company has made the top 100 most loved workplaces that prioritize respect, care and appreciation for employees at the core of their operations..... I don't think so

What a load of Rahul, no growth till 2029, that's a massive 12 years after the birth of DXC, and 6 years after Rahul took over, another 3 years away from now. Rahul thinks his swung another $80 million in pay but Wall Street is never going to buy it that far into the future. Watch the share price at $4.

While belk is hanging on by a thread, your trusty CEO Don Hendricks is scooping up and selling multi-million dollar luxury real estate in the exclusive enclave of Martha’s Vineyard. Light years away from his dilapidated stores and underpaid, overworked employees.

Personally, Cameron bringing in McKinsey will be his legacy and what he will be remembered for.

Someone got into his ear and he took some bad decisions.

Things feel different. Way more now since the WP closure.

Something feels very odd with WP folks. The upper management level seems fake and really trying to cover up something.

It’s just bad times right now.

Maybe someone with ba--s that reads this site can walk into Cameron’s office and bring him to reality of how things are. Well, I can at least pray!

Still too much vagueness around how they are going to fix the execution at this company. AI buzzwords isn’t going to be it.

I had to laugh at some of the most basic execution problems ML pointed out regarding emails or tickets. Embarrassing for us.
