I’m a manager in an area that had layoffs this year. Now when you bring up issues, our leaders say we should be quiet and thankful we have a job. Leading through threats is now normal? This place is toxic.

Any news on the hybrid policy and potential changes to it? I’ve heard rumors, but they swirl all the time. I feel like it was this time last year they made some significant changes. With costs continuing to rise, all associates who weren’t lucky... — read more 

Does anyone else endure bad behavior by H-1Bs in the office? My office is chock full of them and they routinely speak at volumes that are more suitable for an NFL game. They also stare at me way too long and it makes me uncomfortable.

The hours keep getting worse and the work keeps getting harder. The pay, though, pretty much stays the same. Who in their right mind wouldn't be tired of this cr-p?

Do they think we don’t know they are reading from queue cards? These calls are so embarrassing.

Haven't been here for awhile and looking at the postings I am shocked that people are putting up with this mess. Managers/Directors openly disrespecting staff, threatening them in front of witnesses, making up jobs/roles but not compensating them... — read more

Friday isn't usually a layoff day, so I'm thinking no, but if anybody knows for sure, please share.

And when that happens, it tells you all you need to know about this place. It means being unemployed and uncertain is somehow less stressful than staying here one more day. Think about how bad things have to get for that to make sense. That is where... — read more 

My manager told me in front of my entire team that if I am so unhappy here, he has a replacement ready and I am free to leave. I was so stunned that I just said okay cool and went back to my desk. How out of line was that?

This should be entertaining

Isn’t it unwise to be hiring summer interns while laying off experienced employees left and right? If we need to cut costs, shouldn’t we start with interns, who are a net drain on resources? The purpose of an internship program is to build a... — read more 

What happened to no politics in the workplace? The four political posters clearly showing on AG’s wall say differently. The privilege is astounding at least blur your background.

Last sentence - Now is the time. Now is the time to quit sending that garbage but, since they don't care about anyone here in the least, it will continue.

Coming next week…

Especially if you're younger and recently joined Elevance. Save up six months of expenses. Keep interviewing even though you're employed. Find a way to make money on the side. Don't let this place have all the power over your life.

I was laid off 3 months after starting here. Looking back, I missed the signs. Exploding offer, nervous recruiter, vague job description, no salary range. Learn from my mistake.

Anyone else hope they get laid off at this point? Everything su-ks here!
