Out of hand

Belk is the cr-ppiest company to work for. They want so much done. Like markdowns, markups, 5000 times the freight, customer service, credit, apps, sale sets, fullfillement, etc... all under minimum hours. Stores look like cr-p, can't recover, always on the register or having to do other things because God forbid they don't meet the numbers for them. Not to mention the dock, corporate watches the camera to see if your dock is cleared (he-l no it isn't, we have no hours and no time), they don't support there associates!!
But corporate has time to throw lavish parties in Charlotte and open new stores 🙄 that they won't staff correctly with a abundance amount of work to do. How about stop having stores hire if you won't give the stores hours to give them, common sence there. Do not work for Belk. They take all there associates and salary managers for granted. Less pay, less help, but more workload!!!!


DO NOT WORK HERE

Quite possibly the worst run school division in America. Gutless leaders who have no concept of how to support the sanctity of the learning environment. Their policy is to literally sacrifice the all for one.

Teacher support and retention is negligible. To make matters worse, their compensation is about 10% lower than it’s surrounding school divisions.

Just look at all the openings on their website. Mess beyond belief. STAY AWAY!


Are all area understaffed and underpaid

Checking in to see if all areas are like mine. Stuck now without the long term, valuable associates that knew their job, who were an asset to the company and now the rest of us are struggling to keep up with tasks that aren’t even in our job description and working with associates who are barely able to do the bare minimum of their job description. We were already overworked before VSP and now the ones that are still here are underpaid with more work than ever in hopes of maybe a 3% raise next year which isn’t even close to inflation rate. Feeling defeated at this point working for a company who has proven they don’t care about their employees.


Left on my own.

I have left due to being significantly underpaid. My manager was a true mentor and I liked working there. If you want to join you want to make sure you negotiate a good salary ahead of time as you'll have much harder time getting anything in addition to whatever they give when you start at USI. Overall, I'd say the company is 3.8 on a scale 1 to 5 where 5 is the best.


Darren Woods is a POS

Telling some of your top performers and employees that the decision to cut your job was done to "strengthen the company". Next month they'll be saying their people is their power. It used to be "we only keep the elite, top performing" as if your status here is some badge of honor. Only the best get to stay. Think that lie has run its course. They think folks who continually refuse to pull their weight, do the bare minimum and constantly whine about the need to do more will match the work ethic of the folks they are laying off. Good luck with that. Ive given up my weekends, evenings and worked so many hours because of these so called competitive moves. Who's going to do that now? This is about a bottom line, a bottom line gets you bottom of the bucket quality. I hope this company finally gets what it deserves. For folks outside of the company thinking of doing business with Imperial or ExxonMobil. Stay far far away. Unless you love not getting paid, having no one to answer your phone calls and now no one to hold those individuals accountable to do either of those things.


Leaving Money on the table

Why do employees settle for less? CEOs and exec VPs making 100x-1000x times the average employee. Why do we make em’ so rich.

I mean if a company makes net income per headcount say $10M for instance , it does not make sense an employee average income is $150K, why don’t employees ask for $9M? Why should employees allow any more than 10% margin for employers


How many people left their job at Boeing then came back and regretted it?

I left Boeing a year ago and have been watching the company from the sidelines. Honestly, I can't see any improvements since I left the company. Boeing's salaries are low; especially with the cost of living in Seattle the benefits are average at best. Why bother going back.
I was shocked when Boeing won the F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance Fighter. Believe Boeing will perform poorly on that contract with the risk of cancellation.


Now $25/Hour Min - Tenure Employees Continued Getting Scr*wed

For tenure employees such as myself, I did not get $20000 raise collectively since 2017. As of right now, my pay is a little over a dollar more than minimum. Yes, I am bitter and BOA can careless. After reading the Employee Communications, BOA only cares about new hires as they begin their "meaningful journey". What about existing employees with 25+ years at BOA, what is the "meaningful journey" for them? The pasture? It sure looks that way. I know that there are many B6's such as myself in the same situation. How do you cope with the news? I am at the point of retirement with no notice.


Micromanaging all of a sudden? Hmmm

Anyone else’s managers suddenly started micromanaging THE HE-L out of them??!?! No??? Just me??!! My boss straight up asked me why I’ve been away from my desk for so long because they stalked my Teams status (I put a hold on my calendar) and when I told them I had a doc appt, they asked “with who?”…. Did I really need to tell my boss I was at the gyno? Even with stupid tasks like replying to emails, my boss will Teams me and say “when are you planning on responding back to that email that just came in 2 minutes ago???” Like jeez they underpay us, ask us to come in 4 days, and micromanage? Big brother much?


Grossly...

  • Grossly underpaid compared to the area market for my role
  • Grossly underappreciated
  • Grossly overworked
  • Managers and org leaders Grossly overpromise dates without regard for employee morale
  • Inspire awards are Grossly under given
  • Direction changes seemingly daily is Grossly infuriating
  • Grossly unprofessional behavior from others almost daily

Are we seeing a theme here?


Dell underpays so severely, it's actually comical that anyvbody would want to work here.

At one point in time, Dell actually WAS a good place to work. They offered hybrid work, had amazing benefits and PTO, flexibility, and paid competitively. THey also offered RSU's to most people (IC's) and not just those who were already making 200-1m/year (Directors and above...)

Now? RSU's aren't offered to anybody below I believe a SR. Director. Dells benefits and PTO, and flexibility is offered at literally any half decent company these days. So the benefits and 5 weeks PTO is not anything special anymore. Most companies caught up to Dell's benefits or far surpassed it.

As for pay... I make 110k/year with a 5k bonus so chalk it up to 115k/year. Not horrible but not great. I found a job over at AMD that is quite literally my EXACT job right now - same knowledge/skill requirements, same duties, etc... It is MY job right now - but, the starting pay is 120k and goes to 170k. It's hybrid, offers the SAME benefits Dell offeres me now, and the office is 10 mins from my house (instead of 55 minutes.)

Yes, I applied and yes I do have an interview setup. As much as I love my job, team, cowworkers, manager/management of my org, along with everyone I work with; I'd very easily start at AMD with a 140k salary.

And it's not just AMD but, in my field of work MOST companies are paying at minimum 10-20k MORE than what I'm at right now after 6 years at Dell.

Oh, and lets not forget about the lack of promotions for the last 5 years. It's the same story year after year... - I didn't get any REQ's - as my manager (and I think most dell managers) don't promote via merit increases as it's unfair to the rest of the team. I've been on the edge of promotion for 3 years now and,

this January I was asked to fill out an application for a 30k promotion. Filled it out and everything. A week later, I was told the REQ was pulled and it isn't happening. WTF??!!!! My manager is super super cool and has tried to get myself and another person promoted year after year and it's always something.

I would have left already if it weren't for my solid raises tbh. First year I got a 9%, second year, a 5%, 3rd year it was 3.5 I think, 4th year was a massive 12% raise. This year, a measly 4% raise.

So not bad overall but I'm still an i6 lol. idk what the pay band/ranges are for grade levels but maybe I'm in the i7 range already, idfk.


Executive Lesson #1: "Resource Actions" hurt IBM's performance and ki-l morale.

OK, keep cutting but FYI - our morale is at an all time low and the window to turn the ship around is rapidly closing... Do you gentlemen (and ladies) know that there is no opportunity for employees to move to another assignment, once they have been tagged in a Resource Action - WHY? If you are over 40, IBM does not want you - is this an #AgeDiscrimination.

Finally, our famous and celebrated (merit based) performance review system is a total lying farce designed by hypocrites. Employees do not get an honest and fact based evaluation of their performance.

We all know that our workloads can be extremely heavy requiring much overtime for extended time periods - yet we are not paid if we work extra (even if we bill clients for it) - #underpaid.

Pay raises??? Forget it, if you are over 40, forget it for sure...

We also mastered the fine art of importing cheap labor and indentured servant from India - when the dust settles it'll only be #H1B and Executive Line up left standing...

I am sick of this Ginny Rometty...
