Does Amazon using tracking and other monitoring software to know if you are working in the office or logged on your computer?

Last week I did not go into the office and I worked at home. Does Amazon really know where you are working at? I'm thinking I am going to continue staying at home and work. I made it a habit a long time ago not to talk to any of my coworkers when I was going into the office because I don't trust ant of them.


Am I the only one who feels like India teams are difficult to work with?

I'm a LL6 in a very tech-heavy area of Ford. Often times, I feel like there are cultural issues where India coworkers don't listen to anybody who isn't above them on a pay grade (i.e. a LL6 won't listen unless instructed by a LL5 or higher). They also feel like it's okay to get in your face and try to micromanage you even if they're not your boss, not to mention their accents are very difficult for the average American to understand. I've seen many conflicts between American and Indian colleagues on the same projects, likely stemming from differences in cultural norms on work collaboration.

Anybody else feel this way?


What is cigna’s long term plan? Just keep laying off employees?

I’m really struggling to understand how the DEI leadership is handling these layoffs. Even after all these job cuts, if the stock price still doesn’t reach $400, what’s the backup plan?
It’s disappointing to see a company that was once run so well end up in this situation. It feels like the leadership has put too much trust in a small inner circle led by DP Koka and his Indian friends, and now those same executives are driving these large-scale layoffs. Meanwhile, they’ll likely walk away with generous payouts, but what about the hardworking employees who are losing their jobs? They didn’t deserve this.
It’s frustrating to watch the company go through this, especially when employees are the ones bearing the brunt of these decisions that don’t give any meaningful results in the long run.
It’s hard to believe the CEO isn’t recognizing what’s happening. It makes me wonder whether he’s disengaged or possibly thinking about stepping away, because the current direction doesn’t seem reassuring.
If DP were to become CEO, I’d honestly be concerned about the company’s future. From my perspective, his leadership style hasn’t inspired much confidence, and I worry about what strategic decisions might follow. Overall, it just feels like the company needs stronger, more transparent leadership right now.

I am confused about Partially Met

Can anyone please explain Partially Met and if it’s good or bad? I have gotten Partially Met two years in a row, even though my manager gave me the impression throughout last year that I was on track to Meet Expectations…I tried checking everything off the list and just feel hopeless at this point on what else I can do this year to make things better. Help please. Thanks


Increased heath issues?

Has anyone else experienced more health issues this year (or with their team/peers), since the “8 hour” rule was threatened? I’ve personally been sick a couple times since Jan 1 and that’s very odd for me. After reflecting, the only thing that’s really changed is being around so many people in the office, especially so many from India. Specifically this has been in Technology (Charlotte).


Is Anadarko and OK oil and gas losing it position as a top oil and gas basin

OKC based oil companies companies are exiting the city and state for Houston Texas. Ovintiv has divested Anadarko holdings. 10 years ago the investment world couldn’t get enough of the SCOOP and STACK. Now the investment community is far less interested in any OK investment. What factors are at play and what will OK oil industry look like in the near future.


Asset Divestures

BP currently has 11 billion from Asset sales, and is looking for 20 billion by 2027.
Obviously personnel changes on existing assets they plan to keep would only save a fraction of what they plan to sell.
What's at most risk BU?


FEPOC

I assume most posters here are from the commercial side. Does anyone have insights into how things are going on the FEPOC side? Morale? VSP impacts? The organization became very top-heavy over the years, and I know a lot of VSP electees were MLT/SLT/ELT. However, there were also some seasoned "regular" employees with tons of technical and/or business knowledge who departed.
