#recognition

I’m not going to say I can be bought by a Harry and David gift box, but it’s awfully nice to be remembered by my employer with a gift box at the holidays. And it’s a lot more thoughtful than what fiserv gave me this year, ie nothing.

Lately, it’s like I’m being pushed out without anyone saying it outright. Whenever I ask questions about a process, I get shut down and told to just figure it out. I’m not given the same time to learn new tasks as others, and when I flagged a coworker for mistreatment, it felt like I was the one in the wrong. Meanwhile, that coworker got promoted the same month after treating me poorly. I put in the work, my performance is strong, but recognition and support seem non-existent. Even small gestures others get, like acknowledgment on anniversaries, completely skip me. I honestly don’t know who to trust. Anyone else dealing with something similar?

Do you know if only extraordinary ratings will qualify for legends of possible or do meaningful ratings employees can also qualify?

First, I want to acknowledge that I am grateful to currently be employed at HCSC, especially given the broader economic climate. That said, as a 25+ year employee, this is the first year I can recall not receiving any form of holiday acknowledgment. In past years, this has included something modest, such as a small gift card or approval for a team lunch.

This year, there was no recognition at all. I’ve heard that some departments may have still had small lunches or gift cards, so I’m curious whether this reflects broader financial constraints, departmental differences, or if others have had a similar experience.

Ford’s $19.5 Billion write-down marks the largest impairment taken by a company in Detroit’s history!

Bill and Farley should be getting an award!

Oh, the irony.....

But from her perspective, that all pales in comparison to her ability to always put people first, elevate rising leaders, empower countless women and leave every organization stronger than she found it.

I fired a bunch of people, I have no heart, no harmony and zero hunger... I just drove a company right off the cliff, so sure, give me a lifetime award! I even dug out my amazing expensive ugly dress that just screams Fuchsia!! I am hoping to get an invite to the Met Gala next year!

We just had a TDC Townhall and everyone was saying kudos to everyone. While recognition is good, we also received word from our TDC leaders that there is a 20% cap on the number of TDC associates who can receive a rating of for 2025. If things were so great, why impose a cap? This is so frustrating.

Well, another Edward Jones long standing tradition has met it's end.

Regional award ceremonies will now be conducted during a week day morning instead of a nice ceremony where you can bring a spouse.

Maybe its too expensive now for the little people to be honored? Wonder if TAP trips are next?

Although it’s encouraging to hear that leadership wants managers to nominate and recognize top performers, insecure managers often block these individuals from receiving praise. Advice to management: why not hire leaders who genuinely care about the well-being of the people they oversee instead of just their own interests?

DXC's Jennifer Ragone Recognized with the 2025 N2Growth Leaders40 Top CHRO Award.

Exciting times. Way to go.

It’s truly amazing that Renu got recognition for an award considering the job she’s done at both VMware and OMNISSA. I can tell you firsthand working with your is full of hyperbole and and being naive. She’s been a detriment to OMNISSA and is has a big hand in its demise.

Now I don't understand the value of ally award, my friend got nominated for q3 ally award and they laid him off this week. Company is giving so much false beliefs, no matter if you get recognized or not for your hard work. Everyone's days are numbered.

Guess who didn’t make the list?

The CA has long been a joke as almost every project that won the award eventually turned out to be a terrible investment or otherwise bad decision. CA seems to be the kiss of death. A lot of people have old CA plaques hiding in their desk drawers. Can anyone think of a CA effort that was well deserved and added value?

One of the most overused phrases I have heard at U.S. Bank is “I appreciate you!”.

Word to the wise, stop using this phrase. You sound like an insincere fool. If you truly appreciate someone, show it in your ACTIONS not with empty words. Vampires 🧛.

Lots of uncertainly and nervousness after yesterday=Some nice recognition--finally !

We don't get many pats on our backs any more=just kikks in the aarse+The CEO is starting to lose the rank and file=Only 55% of company in attendance=We used to get 90% on these meetings=The sales guys seemed down and had low energy=Seemed like deers in headlights=Compassion & passion is gone+Thought process is always changing like flags flapping in wind=Meps, Peps, and fops, gops, mops, (huh?) wtf? are labor intensive, high maintain, low margin that we don't want anything to do with.

well.. the good options anyways, gone are the good options like the airline/hotel giftcard, tiffany's jewelry, or even a giftcard to cdw itself (giftcards to anywhere are no longer an option). 10 years at the company (my friend who had their 20 year also had the same options) gets you the lovely options of: a two way radio, a dvd player, a golf club set (junior sized only, there is also a singular golf club..), and my personal favorite: a paperclip necklace.

So anyone approaching their milestone anniversaries get ready for those hot ticket items. "You Deserve IT!" the pamphlet says, but I'm pretty sure they left out an 'sh' somewhere..

Once again the last to leave the office.
Staying late to pick up the slack for others.
Why do I do it? Why do I care?
No one notices. No one rewards.
Left behind and looked over.
Managers and VPs don’t shake my hand.
Do they even know I exist?
Feeling sad. Forgotten. Unappreciated.
If we are ExxonMobil what am I?
Not part of the club. Alone.

How do I experience MetLife? Cr-p pay raises while being told you're doing a great job.

I am not who did this survey but I feel this is one of the biggest joke of 2025

All bah who feel they are being discriminated against for any reason whether it be wfh status, recognition, merit, promotion etc all because of that forced status need to turn this place in to your states EEOC equal opportunity employment commission

We have a few coasters in our team working on same item since idk, 5 sprints

And they have 0 knowledge of what they are building, cannot even write or understand a simple join query

Guess what, they get to demo all my work.

Why do managers encourage such behavior???

Chipotle's on this same list. 😂💩😂

How's this okay? Why is it so accepted that employees are disposable, like we're automatons and not actual people with families and feelings? I know many will say "it's just business," but how does that make it better? I'm just so tired of this sh-t. Retirement can't come soon enough.

Feeling so disheartened and disappointed.

This firm truly prefers teacher's pets and individuals who are less deserving when giving recognition, appraisal, raise or bonus.

I have slogged my a$$ and all of my manager downplays everything I did, undermining my contribution.

Sometimes these engineers won't talk that much or only talk when a discussion is actually meaningful. Sometimes what they say won't matter anyways so they simply focus on implementation and development work.
They are among the few who deliver solid results.

Is management aware of this phenomena?
