I have never had so much anger in my life. Been through a few rodeos so not a newbie. Never seen it this bad. I hate each and every executive in this clown car and will leave as soon as I can. I can’t be the only one which is scary. Not a good thing if you are working with people barely holding in their rage.

At WF, yes, it is normal. Although, we should be all united in protecting our health.
Sunday night f you to everyone in charge of this sh*tshow. Used to be angry only on my three days in office but now Sunday night too.
Anger, misery, you’ll suffer unto me!
@a4 I just love it when upper "management" visits these threads. When you fire anyone who's capable of critical thinking, all you have left are incompetent, sub-literate sycophants who can't run a lemonade stand. Just ask Pete Hegseth.
@a4 Your lips must be quite chafed from the excessive amount of bootlicking
It’s awful. Tech is a sinking ship. I had to get some information from a manager and had to ask over and over again, multiple escalations. Nobody cares anymore.
@ae We were told by our managers that what you submit to loudspeaker just gets sent back to your manager to deal with, like a circle.
Trust me other places are the exact opposite as to how they treat their employees. There is better out there
Hey, who gave me a minus for my comment ? You can take that minus and stick it in sideways.......they want me to keep the rage all bottled up.....it just makes me so mad !
I guess I'm not the only one that works all week and has to hold it together and not strangle people. Same situation: been thru many rodeos. Never seen it this id--tic before.
Yeah, between all the new leaders, people whose job seems to not actually get sh*t done, all the f**ked up processes, it's just maddening.
I have to often just remind myself that I really should just not give a f**k. Process messed up? oh well, just deal with it. things being required that you can't actually implement? oh well, just deal with it.
The number of people (leaders) who simply are ok with how stupid things are just amazes me.
Please.......don't call me Pinhead
Rage? No, you're LIVING THE WELL LIFE!
The only thing that helps my anger is I know the exec in charge of us made a big mistake and I’m documenting everything. I can’t wait for the day she gets marched out along with her toadies. It will blow back on her. Hopefully it’s big enough to get some attention in public and not just within WFC.
Its normal to feel angry, but if you feel angry they are winning. Don't give them the satisfaction. If companies choose to treat their people in inhumane ways, we can fight back. Disengage, do not do more than the absolute minimum needed for your job, stay bellow the radar, do not help others, horde information, never go above and beyond, never raise issues you didn't create. Employ every tactic you can think of to lower your productivity as well as other's. Companies feel like they have all the power, that's never the case. We have power too. Time to exercise it. Stay legal, stay professional and God speed!
Yes, and irritable. Research Cognitive Dissonance. Health is Wealth.
have you submitted to loudspeaker?
same boat
I’m at home in my pajamas and I am definitely still raging because that doesn’t solve the cultural problem at this place. But nice red herring
@a4 dou--e
If you were working at home in your jammies would you be similarly filled with all this rage or do you just resent being treated like a normal employee who isn't very special at all to anyone except their mommy?
Rage is a signal that your boundaries are being repeatedly violated. Its a response to your brain perceiving unfairness, coercion, disrespect, a chronic lack of control, and being trapped. The classic perception of burnout is exhaustion, but burnout can also manifest as anger, irritability, cynicism, and accumulated resentment. What you're experiencing is a normal emotional response to an abnormal situation. It's definitely not like this everywhere.
I once worked at a company that ended up selling out to private equity three days after I left (ironically, to take a job at Wells), and I remember going through the exact same cycle of rage, burnout and resentment as I am now. It was the most toxic environment I ever worked in at the time, and moving to Wells was like a breath of fresh air. How the tables have turned in the last decade.
