There is no internal contact indormation for HR business partners listed for groups inside the company. So if you want to speak with one you have to ask your manager or skip level manager for the name of the person. I know why. They intentionally... — read more

The bad reviews are not just Capital One
I am seeing this morning that Meta had given bad reviews to thousands recently. This is just business. If you need to get rid of people, you cull the lower performers. Just because you may have been one of the folks who got a bad review and lost... — read more
More Layoffs
Huge layoff in Navigator Platform as they continue to replace us with offshore. Capital One contines to exploit cheap labor while benefiting from Americam Consumers and being bailed out with Americam Tax dollars.

Ignorant Top Management
The Director and obove hired from outside are completely useless and ignorant about the business and the working of C1, they think C1 is at par with big tech whereas it is nowhere close, they are just imposing the structure and way of working of... — read more
agile layoffs
The reality of the agile layoffs is sinkng in and teams are scambing to fill the void of the ADLs. They want team members to improvise and close the gap of what the ADLs did. It's their company they should figure that out.

I see a lot of promotions
A lot of promotions are happening at the top level, director and above. Mostly driven by suck-up-ability. The b.s. index is high in this company.
Redeployment
Has anybody in the redeployment applied for internal jobs and were you successful in getting an interview, please post your experience.
An atmosphere of uncertainty
Maybe they thought that fear of getting laid off would make people work even harder, but I notice that the exact opposite is happening. Is there anyone who continued to work hard in such a chaotic and uncertain atmosphere that they created? — read more
Are you more likely to get laid off if you have tenure?
Been here for 5 years in Data Analysis and things don't look too good. Any bets on which Job Family is going to get nuked next?
Downward path
I don't like what's happening here at all. Cutting institutional knowledge and keeping the greatest mediocrity is completely irrational. I hope that the leadership is not too confident that the best people will be easy to replace or that their jobs... — read more

Redeployment = farce
I think that C1 does not really embrace the internal movement of the workforce. In fact, it seems that most people think that redeployment is just a farce and nothing more?
ADLs
From my experience the ADLs didn't own the business or technology so didn't add much value. They also used to track metrics that didn't translate to any business meaning.
