#promotions

How is the control on hiring, pay rate and promotions going to be handled? Is that control retained by MDs and Directors onshore? Curious as I came across shady hiring practices where pay was not in onshore leadership control, not even the role level. This might open a gap and vulnerability in the system where local leadership in GCC might favor the frenzy.

Genuinely curious as I know how much of a power politics Indian leadership in GCC can play if not cautious. If the few genuine leaders lose the leash, we might be a gone case (scared as I am indian and realize power play when I see one)

Dell had paid a lot in wfr. Now the plan is to make things so miserable that people leave in their own. May it be useless tools, unrealistic kpis which have no relevance to actual jobs.... No growth or promotions. Just make it so bad that people leave. I am just collecting a paycheck... Just package me...

We're having trouble attracting top talent these days due to the plummeting reputation. All the bad reviews I keep seeing on the usual sites are true, calling out no leadership, no promotions, and no care. I wonder if the leadership thinks they can ride on Dell's old reputation forever.

Did everyone enjoy the training on employee disengagement?

How can SAS expect people to be highly engaged when it's clear company goals won't be met which means smaller or no bonuses, fewer or no promotions or raises.... more money for the big cheeses and endless building up of interns and enthusiasm for hiring young people but none of either for anyone else.

Yay SAS.

Look at people are getting promoted, first of all they don't make it public, most of them are not at all competent.

I saw couple of promotion posts on LinkedIn, are they really promoting people ?

Capone pronounced like the famous chicago gangster... this is more appropriate that pronouncing as cap one. Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt. Sad, sad, sad. I have seen so many new posts about the new RIFs this week, and just as many, if not more celebration postings on LinkedIn about new job acceptances, promotions, and brand new job postings. This company is The Worst.

A significant portion of University of Kentucky dining and facilities workers laid off by Aramark have not been rehired by the new partner, Compass Group. By July 10, only 462 out of 926 affected employees had found new positions. Compass Group is reportedly prioritizing full-time hires, leaving many student and part-time workers in limbo. Additionally, UK employees who choose to remain with the university rather than join Compass Group will not be eligible for promotions. The university is still finalizing its contract with Compass Group, which began providing services in July.

I remember when 3M was the kind of place people stayed for decades. Now it's a revolving door where people come, get some experience, and leave for somewhere that actually values them. Insiders get passed over, outsiders get promotions, and the culture keeps eroding. And then we ask ourselves why we're in decline? The answer is obvious.

Are promotions cancelled in consulting?

head of growth and generosity leaving company, not being replaced. a bunch of people promoted from VP to SVP. in same email, layoffs announced. said this was done in the name of cost reduction yet with all the big title promotions, were there any real dollars saved? it's so tasteless to be rah rah let's celebrate promotions and then tell people they lost their jobs all in the same day.

Did anyone get notified they got promoted yet?

The SLT received HUGE comp increases for the new opentext and many are on LI announcing their promotions and sharing endlessly about their many accomplishments. Others are publicly talking about the new GTM model , clearly excited about their new raises, and some about their company paid I'm sure relocations.

It is stunning because ALL of these people have failed in their previous roles. Meanwhile, many employees announcing their entire teams were let go, the very people who were doing what they could.

There has to be some massive incentives on the table for the ELT around results in addition to their new larger salaries. It's as if they are giddy in their LI posts.

Also, completely inappropriate and poor business sense. LI is not intended for bragging. Oh, and none of them have any significant writing skills.

OpenText looks so foolish right now on LI. A company this size should have a coordinated LI plan.

Expected more topics due to everything that is going on. We have Brinks/Atleos merger, Voyix having a lot of problems surviving, merit in march ridiculous, promotions in may also ridiculous (for atleos side at least), etc... Yet i do not see a lot of people sharing any information. What is going on?

15 years of integrity… hard work… caring about members…. and I know I’ll get let go.

I’m too good at what I do. I won’t accept promotions either.

My gut feeling tells me this is the end. The writing is on the wall. I’m reading the tea leaves here but I just know it’s the end.

So I bid you all farewell. It was a good run.

Nah I’m just playin. I ain’t going nowhere. 😂

I’ve lost track, when is the promotion cycle these days?
Supervisor/PDR nomination?
Approval?
Notification?

Has anyone been promoted in their current role without needing to switch jobs or apply for a higher title job posting

Can anyone in HR confirm if promotions were approved, your manager would have been notified either way? I’m hearing there was an extension and some might be approved starting July 1.

I am no longer with the company but very curious about how things are going and moving along since last year's layoffs; and what the overall morale is like in Design and Tech; especially in the Home Division?

Prior to my departure, promotions were scarce and people were feeling stagnant, overworked/underappreciated and not being able to move around and grow... is that still the case for most L4/L5s and maybe L6s?

I heard some promotions were approved and/ or in the process of being approved, but no word on timing. Anyone have any insight on when we will be notified?

FYI

Have never seen it happen so much as here

Was told there was some activity yesterday on this not sure how many folks received it, nothing for me as usual its just pathetic and depressing. Just want to know how many got it here

Are promotions happening this cycle and is NYC one of the main cities

Heard that promotions are back on. But this time, the number of promotions is very slim per department. Anyone know anything?

More promotions

Ford has faced its fair share of very public quality issues over the past few years, which prompted the automaker to make quite a lot of changes in many areas. Those include implementing new procedures for refreshed, redesigned, and new model launches, as well as using artificial intelligence at plants to quickly spot issues before they become more prevalent - not to mention executing a variety of leadership changes. Now, Ford has named a new Executive Director of Global Manufacturing Engineering in the latest such move.

Tom Scaria Chackalackal has officially accepted the position of Executive Director of Global Manufacturing Engineering at Ford Motor Company, he announced himself on LinkedIn

An Industrial Engineer from College of Engineering Trivandrum, Chackalackal also holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration with distinction from Loyola Institute of Business Administration, Chennai. Chackalackal joined Ford of India in 1996.

Is it only Maurice that gets a yes?

Need to backfill a role? We get no.
Need funding for a broken process? We get no.
Need funding to improve a process or build a client request? We get no.
Want to promote a hard worker? We get no.
Want to give money to a deserving employee? We get no.

Culture? No. WFH? No. PTO parity? No

I guess old Mo is the only one who gets a yes.

You can be the best at your job and get passed over because you didn't go to lunch with the right people. I've watched clowns move up while talented people rot in place. It’s beyond demoralizing.

Watching promotions happen makes you wonder whether performance is really the deciding factor.

I've watched the same pattern for years. The people who get promoted aren't the ones doing the best work. They're the ones talking the loudest about their work. I come in, hit my numbers, solve problems, meet every deadline. I don't make a fuss about it. I just do it. And every time a project comes up or a position opens, it goes to someone who spends all their time in meetings telling everyone how great they are.

It used to be that if you got hired here, you had a future. Different roles, regular raises, promotions from within. Real job security. Leadership today doesn't seem to care about building a stable workforce. That old model means nothing to them now.

I heard people are being told about their bonuses, merit increases and promotions in March and it will take effect in July. Is that true? Please share any information you have or your experience if you got this update.

This has been said before, but leader gave me the heads up that senior leaders met with GPs today and each part of the org has been given a count of associates that can get a promotion for 2026.

I won't give my org, but it is probably around 300-400 associates. The number of promotions that will be given for these 300-400 associates is 2. The number early in the year was 0.25% of the associates could be given a promotion. These values will vary from org to org.

Time to start looking around people... Keep an eye out for promotions if you are hesitant, they won't happen.

I got the layoff call last month, last day is in May. Others on my team who are buddy-buddy with leadership got promotions at the same time. Needless to say I’m done giving this company anything more. I’m withdrawing all internal transition applications and barely going to reply to emails. For the next 2.5 months, I will swipe my card and turn around go home to apply external roles. I can’t believe how many extra hours and long nights I spent working for this company. Congrats to all promoted and good bye to all!

Be related to the DMs friends or their inner circle.

Holier than thou, sanctimonious sc-m of the earth.

Slam, cram, brown nose and lie your way to the top and when HR asks, put the blame on anyone that calls you out.

I find my attitude toward others is off the radar lately. Im beyond sick of the same bs day in and day out. No accountability, the expectation that I should do your work for you, watching slackers get promoted while good staff are targeted and terminated. Trying to hold out as long as possible cause the job market is trash but this place has become so toxic and seems almost intentional

Just heard it from a leader in RMC that JR in RMC doesn't believe in inline promotions anymore. You have to get a new job in the bank to get a promotion. Of course that only applies to people who are not remote. The only people getting promotions in her area this year will be a very extreme small subset of what used to get approved. No more midyear off-cycle promotions anymore either.

The old days of treating employees like people are long gone. New culture is here to stay.

My son is friends with the son of an ex Finance VP at Dell whom quit last year. We were chatting about dell and he basically said that the company is run by 4 people, none of which are MD. JC being one of them, Doug Schmitt I think was another and I forgot the other two lol... MD just cares about his billions and whatever needs to be done to increase his money is told to those 4; basically.

This is all a "DUH" but it was interesting to hear this from an ex finance VP.

But he was saying that no matter high up you are, what you want or say is moot unless these 4 people say it's not "moot." They dgaf about anyone or anything except the mass amounts of money they earn. MD only cares about his billions, and If it hurts their bank accounts then they will lay off thousands with no concern, cheap out on raises/promotions, etc etc etc...

Promotions are impossible to get now and those who get them are in countries that aren't the US. In Role promotions are basically non-existent as well. Not impossible but just not likely.

Long story short, the "main" people running the company only care about THEIR money. Not you, or any of the tends of thousands who make them that money.
