How will my manager manage?

She has 3 pets, 2 performers, 2 under performers.

How will she fit them in the corporate Thrive boxes? With only $16,485.38 cents for raises, 2 of the pets are going to be punished by being forced into the performer box.

I do not see this working out well for my teammates. Feels like more undocumented RIF actions than NetApp's move important asset.

WDGSTIF? Who Did George Steal This Idea From? Oh, well his twin brother of course.

I sit near the “people team” at one of our locations and there’s a very loud male employee who openly talks about “lowballing” candidates and mocking them for asking questions about return to office. You’re all low life henchmen and women for this disgusting EC. You can’t handle simple requests yet you act like you’re the all knowing and all mighy.

No extra pay, no discussion, just "figure it out." I'm doing two jobs and burning out fast. Anyone else dealing with this?

Reflecting on the energy sector lately, it’s striking how much the work we do matters ... not just in powering homes and industries, but in doing it thoughtfully and responsibly.
At Chevron, there’s a quiet consistency to how things get done: prioritizing the safety of people and protection of the environment above everything else, building real partnerships that last, valuing the diverse perspectives everyone brings, and always aiming to deliver high performance with integrity at the core. It’s not flashy, but it’s steady and over time, that approach builds something meaningful.
In an industry full of challenges and change, being part of a team guided by those principles feels like a real advantage. It shapes the decisions, the collaborations, and even the small daily choices that add up.

Grateful to be in the middle of it, contributing alongside people who care about getting results the right way.

What about you? what keeps you motivated in this space?

Any other groups receiving team meeting invites for the 26th?

with this new myQ that is being generated and the hiring they're doing in India, could we see the design team being eliminated or reduced?

Help me understand how 1 team lays off one employee and then pulls another employee from a different team to fill a position on the team they just laid someone off on? Couldn't they have transferred the employee they just laid off?

Thumbs up if your Team is in worse shape now after last year's Reorg.....the talk is there might be a new one to fix it.....

Our manager has recently initiated bi-weekly meetings with all employees. The team already has regular meetings, and it is an open team where the manager is universally liked. I have noticed the team seems to be getting punished for not being able to do all things all the time due to other teams regulatory failings which are universally creating work for everyone adjacent; any ideas what might be going on as a guess? Could the company, wrongly as usual, be targeting our team?

Any news on upcoming layoffs. In our market, we have some organizational changes. Where there’s a small team and a large team under one supervisor that’s supposed to have different roles. One team will be working on building a program. The other team would continue to do what they’re doing. Thinking this may be a sign that they’re going to eliminate an entire team.

If managers are asked for list, its usually 2 person per team layoff in Oracle. If you are not in your manager's list then you will be the one.

Restructuring solves nothing, breaks plenty. Vacancies never get filled, teams just get more stretched and bitter.

And they always cut the wrong people. Not that the rest of us are useless. We're not. But without fail, they boot the one person who actually mattered - the skilled one, the experienced one, the glue who kept the team from falling apart. Every single time.

It boggles the mind, really. Especially when you see the same pattern repeating itself for so many years.

Actions speak louder than words....save the umpteen emails.

How about this employee appreciation email?!? She is thankful for her job now go appreciate each other.

Curious how everyone's workload has been since the cuts. It's been long enough to know the real impact. My team lost just one person, so it's been manageable so far. But I wonder how teams that got cut in half are doing. How bad is it?

Be great at execution! Be great at chopping headcount.

Do whats right: fire everyone!

Embrace candor: You will be fired.

Build a high performing team, bit in India.

So I was previously located in another area of campus in a flexible seating space. Over a short period of time all of the flexible seating became assigned seating and neighborhood pods. Of course those neighborhood pods and assigned seats were the preferred seat seating near windows, quiet spaces, etc. and the only options left were in the noisy busy parts of the floor..

Our group just moved to building 600 pod C and it’s happening again.. seriously don’t understand the purpose of flexible seating if teams are going to start going through the process of making assigned seats. It’s so obnoxious to get stuck with the creepiest seating options just because I’m an individual contributor and not in the position to throw a trantrum to secure the preferred seats. So here I am once again being faced with having to sit next to the door where everyone enters and exits all day long. This whole thing is so obnoxious and ridiculous… even comical to some degree.

To branch teams-you’re not angry enough. If you thought service was poor and you weren’t getting the right answers before, buckle up. Starting early summer a lot of service topics are going down to one prompt, meaning the person you’re taking to has been hastily trained on a bunch of topics and probably won’t be much help. If it sounds familiar, hey guess what-it’s just like branch services only worse. You all PAY for home office-the so called leaders don’t give a sh*t about their people actually knowing and understanding the information; they just want warm bodies in the seat. Oh and they’ll be using a second contracting company as well so good luck. I feel sorry for branches who actually want to help their clients. The leaders at the top are just greedy, soul su-king drones who only care about making more money for themselves.

I’m hoping our team is next. Seriously our team serves no purpose to be fair. It could be done by other departments or really just an automation in the system. It’s not survival it’s just the truth. Not sure why they even made this team as it doesn’t even make sense. Literally here collecting until the end because it pays something while looking elsewhere.

You would think these are the rough guys of the industry, but man, the view gals look like scholars.

Another Fiserv obituary like many investors duped by KKR, Frank and team. From Insider Monkey.

Broyhill Asset Management stated the following regarding Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ:FISV) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

"Our mistakes were costly. Our largest detractors were Avantor, Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ:FISV), and Six Flags. Losers also shared a common thread: financial leverage amplified by execution missteps. Fiserv was a close second. This was a particularly painful loss because we thought we owned a dominant business with a flawless record of consistent execution, trading at a large discount to the market and to its own history. We increased our investment through the first half of the year because we believed the market was overly punitive in assessing short-term headwinds and slowing growth at Clover. As the stock’s decline accelerated and the valuation collapsed, we actively questioned what we might be missing, seeking additional context, perspective, and data to stress our assumptions. In hindsight, we over-weighted the probability that the sell-off was driven by competitive dynamics and overlooked the probability of more structural issues beneath the surface. As it turned out, that “flawless execution” was a red flag. We immediately exited the position when we concluded the company was unanalyzable. We now believe the most similar analogue for Fiserv post the reign of former CEO Frank Bisignano, who resigned to join the current administration right before the stock’s collapse, was the rubble left behind by Jack Welch at General Electric. For younger investors, not witness to Welch’s glory days, Google’s Gemini produced an impressive analogue available in this report and dashboard."

What is going on with job titles? I see people with titles as senior teamlead and manager, however Noone reports to them.

Has anyone heard whether risk programs are being paused right now? With so many changes lately, it’s been tough to keep up, and I’m just trying to get a clearer picture. The goal is to make sure teams are set up for success, so any insight would be appreciated. Managers are eerily silent.

Will AI make AI team redundant ?

It's recently come to my attention that any remote employees that live close to an office they are able to travel to will be told to go back to office again. There are teams that are remote only that will be told the same thing that do not live anywhere close to an office and will have to either move, or will be let go.

Are they still around?

I was a contractor on the tech side and left in January because I got a better job and because I’ve worked at a PE owned company before and I knew what was coming?

The team I was on was 90% contractors. I can’t imagine what shape they are in if contractors are gone.

Are we really having a sales kickoff? How much money does this cost? wouldn't it bt better to save? instead of flying everyone out just to "network" and get drunk in las vegas.

I have seen team after team's work get stolen by ireland or India, and then those teams dismantled.

US employees, when your team starts interacting with ireland or india in anyway way, know that their goal is to acquire your work so that your job can be eliminated.

I saw 2 teams in rx last week that developed a system, and slowly brought in the Irish, those entire us teams were eliminated on Friday.

Do NOT cooperate with ireland at any cost. Don't respond to their emails, don't assist them, etc...

I am approaching a seven-year tenure on my team and I have long found solace in our shared atmosphere. Everyone is remarkably kind and approachable. Although we have recently encountered adverse shifts beyond our control, I have remained a steadfast advocate for collective resilience despite the prevailing negativity because I deeply honor the journey that defined every teammate’s professional growth.

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?

Got RIF'd, 60 day garden leave, standard 2 weeks for every year, blah blah blah. I have (former lol) coworkers calling me asking me where I am, asking if I can help with X or Y when I'm "back from vacation." Seems like management isn't telling their teams anything about the sudden voids in the roster.

Irving was heavily impacted by yesterday’s layoffs. Each team lost at least two team members.

The network side was particularly affected — including NSS, ECC, Load Balancing, DNS, Tools Team. These are core operational functions!

Each Data Center team (RUTH, GTDC, MWDC, SWDC, and 390G) also lost two team members. These teams were already lean. With this level of reduction, the remaining staff will be operating under sustained pressure, and workload sustainability is a legitimate concern.

I wanted to ask for some clarification regarding the recent changes in Teams and the organizational view. Previously, it clearly showed the team I’ve worked with consistently, but now when I look at my organization, it lists many different names I’m not familiar with. I understand that organizational structures can evolve, but the sudden change without context feels confusing. Can someone please explain what these updates reflect and whether they indicate a shift in team alignment, reporting structure, or workflow? I believe transparency helps everyone stay informed and aligned, and I would appreciate any insight you can provide.

Pickleball. Kayaking. Kick a soccer ball around. We are truly blessed.

I think some teams are seriously down to bare metal. I'm not sure how we can get leaner. I'm one of the few test engineers left in the USA

On my team especially after 1/29 layoffs. Anyone else?

Seems like a huge team with 10 SVPs.. What's their plan?

I wish skipping happy hour didn't make people think you're not a team player. I like my coworkers fine, but my evenings are for my actual life. There's this unspoken expectation to always be around. Is this just my team and my manager? Because I'm getting really tired of it and I wouldn't mind transferring to get away from it.
