#morale

Consider yourself cooked if you're paid higher than your peers.

That would be a small mercy in this whole mess.

Based on recent organizational/Team changes throughout the company, recent executive departures, plans leaving states, hospitals/PCP going out of network ( Especially in NY) and the employee sentiment on this page, Centene feels like a sinking ship, and is sinking faster than anyone could have anticipated.

Do you miss us yet?

I have no hopes for tomorrow. Dell has successfully gotten rid of the people who could fix things, and this leadership is only focused on their own pockets. There's no saving this.

Japan Airlines was $25 billion in debt. Bankruptcy declared. 16,000 jobs on the line. CEO Haruka Nishimatsu didn't call a press conference.

He cut his own salary to $90,000 - less than his pilots. Canceled the executive dining room. Took the bus to work. No bodyguards. No reserved parking. No perks. While other CEOs drafted layoff lists from penthouse suites, Nishimatsu stood in the cafeteria line with ground crew. Workers noticed.

Morale shifted. In 3 years, Japan Airlines went

from the largest airline bankruptcy in history... to the most profitable airline in the world. It relisted on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2012. That wasn't a turnaround plan. That was one man choosing accountability over comfort. Lesson: Most companies don't fail because of bad markets. They fail because leaders protect themselves first.

It's not miracle that saved Japanese airlines. It's the attitudes of leaders that saved. Hope ppl notices.

Heard from someone it will be all week which is so brutal. What a nightmare of a company. I’m sure I. Cruz over HR is sleeping just fine though.

What is going on?? Every week people are being tapped. Zero morale left onsite. Limerick has lost it's buzz entirely. Everyone fretting. You can feel the damn tension in the air! Dub & Cork are ye in the same boat??

Lets hear it from each depratment

Tomorrow is approaching for those in the US, and with whatever you’re hoping to have happen tomorrow, I hope you’re going to be ok. I’m honestly sick to my stomach. We just had our son in April, and as the primary income earner of the house, I’m scared. Working in tech support feels like being a crew member on the Titanic. I’m mid 30s now. Not sure how to support a household and go back to school.

I know a lot of people are indifferent, or just want to it to happen. “Quit if you hate that much” has been mentioned a lot. And I’m definitely angry at the company. I would quit if there wasn’t anyone depending on me. The job market seems uncertain right now. My resumes looks depressing all of a sudden. It’s all exhausting.

Good luck tomorrow. Whatever you’re hoping for. I hope you come out the other side net positive.

I endured 3 years on the core line with many promises of a role switch after my "2 year commitment" in the end it was all just a lie. Oh well.

Get your licenses, learn the ropes and get out while you can asap.

Layoffs and work transferred to offshore. No new software development effort. Company is in "keep lights on" mode. No new hiring in US. Only transfer of India employees on L1 visa allowed, and that too in rare and extreme cases.
There will be wave after wave of layoff coming up. Employees at staff level are just numbers. Executives level don't care anything other than their bonus.
We are all stuck in mud, waiting our day to get riffed.

Qualcomm produced nothing in AI. Failed to get into data center business. Modem losing market share. Laptop business getting nowhere. Poor employee moral. Investor day failed bad. Investors gave up on the stock.
Very bad situation with no way out

I want to vomit. The only thing I would miss from this job is the cell phone

In a tough environment, your colleagues can really make a difference. With all of the rapid fire changes, collaborative, experienced and, sure, funny colleagues are what helps the most.

Tim Cook steps down as Apple, $AAPL, CEO on August 31 after taking the company from ~$350 billion to over $4 trillion.

John Stankey steps down as AT&T, $T, CEO after taking the company from ~$215 billion to ~$178 billion.

Apple increased its market cap by roughly $3.65 trillion and AT&T lost roughly $37 billion.

Six years. Two CEOs. Completely different outcomes. I wonder why?

One led through massive innovation and growth. The other spent years making questionable strategic decisions resulting in failures of epic proportions, while simultaneously alienating the workforce with policies like 5x RTO, cutting costs and talent, and destroying culture and morale.

But I’m sure Stankey will find a way to explain how all of this is somehow the employees’ fault.

Get this l0ser Stankey out!

I get it, they will not be promoted. We don’t want them over us. But that doesn't mean they have to leave. Just take the paycheck, be quiet, and don’t ask for a career. That’s not too much to ask. Like promotes like, we only promote what looks like us, sorry…

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

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.

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.

This video popped on in my queue yesterday by comedian Mike Polk talking about the Cleveland Browns. He refers to the stadium as a Factory of Sadness.

And I thought holy $hit, that’s Wells Fargo. A factory of sadness.

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.

I received no raise, while execs... including Hemsley... continues to receive mega comp packages. If employes are being asked to accept stagnant pay because of the company’s performance and financial challenges, exec compshould be subject to the same scrutiny... and sacrifice.

I have been with UnitedHealthcare for more than 20 yrs & it is frustrating to watch longtime employees feel undervalued while leadership continues to be well compensated. Folks are tired of hearing the same corp messaging quarter after quarter without seeing meaningful improvements in our compensation or working conditions.

At some point, leadership needs to recognize that employee loyalty has limits. Period... If the co wants to retain experienced people, it needs to demonstrate that through competitive pay and meaningful raises - not simply words of appreciation. Employees cannot continually be expected to absorb the consequences of management decisions while executives remain financially insulated from them.

Its sad discouraging to see news about employees receiving little or nothing in additional compensation while the company's stock responds positively. That sends a terrible message to the people who have spent years helping build and operate this organization. Please start listening to employees and appropriately compensating the people doing the work. Otherwise UHC should not be surprised when experienced employees decide they have had enough and leave.

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

That'd be the entire post.

The 800 nurses working under the utilization review umbrella were lied to or was it a bait and switch? The nurses were told a new work hour schedule was in the works -the nurses would be notified this week and the new hours would start Monday 8/31/26
Today in an email that was very flip they ignored the fact they LIED and said the schedule would be released next week to start 09/30/26 Humana Values Really — Golden Rule — NO
—-Team with TRUST —NO
The Leaders all need to be Fired
Morale is at all time low
Not professional

It's over, sycamore ran it into the ground. Sad day for past and present employees.

is it they actually live what they preach. And yhr honest truth is we know they won't and their leaders won't. Those who try will find themselves exiting the business.

How astonishingly cheap has Imperial Oil’s management become that they expect employees to bring their own lunch while celebrating one billion barrels produced at Kearl. Fifty billion dollars in potential revenue, and the big reward is… packing your own sandwich. John Whelan, hope things are comfortable up in the penthouse while everyone else is told to brown‑bag it.

I'm not even trying anymore. Most of my time is spent on the job search, since I know that no matter what I do, I'll be shown the the door at the end. I used to give it my all and then some every single day and I still got put on a PIP. I simply don't give a single damn anymore.

The health-insurance industry is the largest barely-legal fraud in America.

The guy who started Centene was a money grubbing thug.

The people running the company now have Zero morals or integrity.

You make major profit by denying people “healthcare” and can’t even run the racket quietly without major lawsuits.

The only thing keeping the American people from putting the entire C-suite in jail is government cronyism.

We've reached the point where even the laziest people, those who work maybe 2-3 hours a day, are leaving for better opportunities. When that's happening, you know things are truly dire. If even the coasters are jumping ship, what's left for the rest of us? Seriously?

"Some bosses aren’t leaders.
They’re bullies with titles.
And pretending otherwise only protects the wrong people.

A bad boss doesn’t just make work annoying.
They make people doubt themselves.
They drain confidence.
They turn Sunday night into a stress spiral.

They make good employees wonder if they’re the problem.
They usually aren’t.

DDI found that employees with leaders who genuinely care about their well‑being are 3x more likely to be engaged — which is the least surprising statistic on earth.

People do better work when their leader actually gives a damn.

And you can hear the difference instantly.

A boss says:
“Figure it out.”
“That’s your problem.”
“I don’t have time for this.”
“You’re lucky to have a job.”
“I don’t pay you to think.”

A leader says:
“Let’s work through it.”
“What do you need?”
“Let’s prioritize.”
“I appreciate what you bring.”
“Tell me what you think.”

That’s not “soft.”
That’s real leadership.

People remember how you acted when things got hard.
They remember who had their back.
And they absolutely remember the person who used authority to make them feel small.

A title makes you a boss.
How you treat people decides whether anyone follows you."

Is this the only company where people somehow fail up? I've watched guys make enormous mistakes, face zero consequences, and then land promotions. At the same time, good employees who deliver get ignored. It's demoralizing, to say the least. Name one other place where that's tolerated.

We will re-arrange the chairs on the Titanic and call it a day.

We finally had the EBOS Townhall, postponed repeatedly after the VSP and RIFs started. Depressingly cringe, like trying to give a team halftime pep talk when 30% of the team left, 30% injured and the rest left to make up a 100 point scoring deficit. Carrie Milby looked bloated, stressed and overwhelmed while trying to deliver her "we got this" pep talk. For those left, Mission Simplify means doing more with less. God help us all.

Oh, was that not motivating enough?
Well what if we completely fu---d you over and made you commute for 2 hours a day?

Oh well, I tried. I cannot figure out why the employees are not happy or motivated.

Time to give myself a 5 million dollar bonus for all that hard work!

in your inboxes this AM.

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?

My retirement is non-existent from the share price decimation and this company just su-ks to work for now since everyone hates it.

Is it just a coincidence that literally 4 weeks after the giant IBM stock implosion caused by AK and his incompetent management that this board is filled with posts of people and entire teams getting put on PIPs, terminated etc ? IBM is beyond desperate to reduce headcount without having to pay out one cent...you can see and smell the desperation. But it's also amazing the number of people who no longer GAF about IBM , do the bare minimum, and say they are just floating along for another 1 or 2 years until they get forced out. IBM should add DGAF to their name.
