The HR managers target specific managers and employees due to personal reasons. They are not unbiased. It’s sick.
Remember HR is suppose to protect the company, but the employee-yet the HR managers are literally walking liabilities.
Wake up Hertz. Clean house of your RAC HR managers. More specifically your top 30. Walking lawsuits day in and day out.

How much longer are we expected to wait in this toxic environment

Toxic environment, no promotions, outdated payscale by years,periodic layoffs, fake survey results, barely any a-s grinding work, clown reality show midweek. Life at TU.

Used until I’m worn down, then easily discarded. I no longer feel like a human being or a professional with over 30 years of specialized experience. It’s as if none of it ever mattered. As someone who once took real pride in my work, it’s been disheartening to watch what companies like ours have gradually become. The shift has been subtle but steady - eroding purpose, value, and basic respect for employees. The way people are treated now feels like near-complete disregard. At this stage, it’s probably too late for me to change careers, or even companies, because of my age. But I hope younger colleagues start to look at their careers with a different lens. Unless something gives, the culture will only continue to decline.

Wondering what people are doing to try and keep some mental sanity in tact amid the chaotic culture and toxicity, particularly when the market outside doesn’t look like a good alternative right now. I’ve been trying to get into some ‘zen’ type outlets like Yoga and journaling, and it really does help. Doesn’t seem like there’s any other way out of a spiraling mental cluster but would love to hear how others are coping.

It’s hard to stay positive these days at Visa. This place is such a downer, but we’ee lucky enough to be employed for now. What are healthy coping strategies that have worked for you?

I retired almost 5 years ago after 25 yrs of service in several IT departments. I retired because of how incredibly toxic the work environment had become. I come here and look at several posts, and yes, it's still a toxic toilet of despair. I bugged out at the end of 2020, right when we kicked RS out in July '20, and then here came the Stank. He is why I left. Boy am I glad I cut and ran when I did, I love being retired. I really feel for you guys out there trying to keep your heads above all of Stankeys sewage sloshing about.

Worked in intel in the early 2010s and I get to see the same thing here in QCOM now. Hiring friends of friends ; friends son. Not sharing information, misleading on purpose.

As in intel , the people who did such practices made it out unscathed.

I worked for a reputable temp staffing agency and they contracted my role with FISGlobal saying it was at least 6 month opportunity. On the start date, I join and they onboard me and let me meet my team of 3 onshore persons. Less than a week later, 1 person is let go; without any announcement. I meet my broader project team of 4 persons, 3 of which are offshore in india. 2 weeks later, my small team is absorbed in a larger existing team of 10+ persons; where sprints are managed by an offshore person asking me for an project update on a sh-t project that has 0% of success. 1 month later, I get a call from my staffing agency that the contract was cut and all their existing staffing resources were let go including my own position. This is no way to work and is a terrible company and client.

“Occurs when an employer makes an employee's working conditions so intolerable that the employee feels compelled to resign.” I’m a senior manager whose role was changed to essentially degrading admin work this year, through no fault of my own — politics rule in toxic workplaces. Anyone else hanging on by a thread with how they are being treated and hoping for a severance package by EOY?

I’m working in a very toxic team and it is affecting my mental health. I’m even developing physical symptoms. What should I do to get a leave of absence? Where should I start from? Does anyone have similar experience? I’m in CA
