#anonymous

For the love of yourself, if your rights were violated currently or previously report it! Do it anonymously, but do it! Stand up for yourself because discrimination, retaliation and a toxic work environment isn’t ok. File a report with the EEOC immediately! Based on the number of posts that I see, Nike will be exposed for normalizing this. HR and Legal will not protect you so please DO NOT rely on their canned response “we take these matters seriously.” Consult with a lawyer if you need to but the EEOC wants to hear from you! Be the one that breaks the cycle instead of allowing the environment to break YOU.

Another false alarm?

Even managers have been kept out of the loop as to how these targets were calculated, so I thought it would be helpful to try to crowdsource some info and come up with a model. If you don’t mind, post your target here and some info about your role. Dont be too specific as we want to maintain our anonymity. I’ll start: 12%. Front line manager in global engineering.

Hi all, I'm Ike Swetlitz, a health journalist with Bloomberg News. I cover health insurance, among other topics.

I've been reading a lot of these posts about the buyouts. I'm trying to learn more, for a story.

If you're interested in speaking with me, I'd be grateful if you could contact me at iswetlitz@bloomberg.net or 630-544-9414 (cell phone - Signal / call / text / etc). You can be anonymous -- I will NOT print your name unless you give me permission. You can also find my contact information on LinkedIn or send me a message there (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ikeswetlitz/)

I'm trying to learn more about how many jobs are being eliminated, and when the buyouts are actually happening (now vs next year).

Thank you!

Let’s light JR up on this call today. Doubt we get truthful answers, but would be fun to watch her squirm.

When I started as an HVAC tech for Sears Home Services, I was hired over the phone, sight unseen, and my orientation was over zoom. Until that first video call, I was kinda thinking this was all some foreign scam to get my SSN and bank information and there was no job. I had never heard of "Transformco." Then a tow truck showed up one day and dropped off a Ford Transit van at my house, and I started getting deliveries of appliance parts and tools. They had me ride with another tech in my area for 2 weeks to train and then gave me my own routes. After that point I never saw another Sears employee again. Just me and the AI chatbot fixing washing machines all over 8 rural counties, 5 days a week. It was kind of like a scifi movie where the main character is alone on a spaceship with no one to talk to but the robot that cleans the toilet. A cool thing about the AI running everything was that if you reasoned with it a certain way, you could make it take calls off your route you didn't want to go to, or even shorten your day to end at noon.

I "called in" a lot (which is literally just a button you push in the app you have to use for your route), but as far as I could tell no one was there to keep track of or reprimand my attendance

After about a year, I got an offer for better pay and took it, and I put in my notice. Ran my last route in January of this year, and parked my van in the driveway with the keys on the seat for when they sent the tow truck. They never did, and per my state's abandoned vehicle law, I went to the courthouse to report a vehicle abandoned on my property for over 6 months, filled out a claim form and today I got the title in the mail! Outright and fee simple.
All this to say, you guys still out there working have reached the point where Lampert and the Colonel have hollowed out the company enough for it to basically be a free for all. Take advantage of the spoils while you can!

Out of 30 or so AVP, VP, SVP on the org chart there is a single non-Indian. Just one. They talked for an hour mostly about AI with little specifics about the plan. Answered a QA about rebadging and gave a 3 minute non-answer.

Curious to hear from interns about their experiences this summer. Don't be too specific or give any identifying information.

I hate recon!! How are we finding stuff that wasn’t there during inventory?? Also, does your store manager participate in any of it? Mine doesn’t do cr-p then expects everything from everyone!! We don’t have AP so they are “supposed to be” AP.

Is there an avenue to file a class action lawsuit against EchoStar on behalf of all the affected since 2025? Something Charlie wouldn’t expect would be a smoking g-n, and hit him where it hurts: the spectrum money he has stashed?

Like, some ominous but effective case. Example: in this film The Firm, the whistleblower simply filed “wire fraud” as the case.

Let’s start the talk here. I believe these are the types of billionaires that are meant to fall from the sky. Charlie is a mean, egomaniacal person who enjoys rising above while watching people below him suffer.

Let’s align and discuss possibilities here.

What he said in the ATG live really pi---d me off and changed my mind. I wasn’t going to take it, but now I will.

I’d rather blast leadership in the survey again than sit it out. If nothing else, it’ll force them to confront the exact same feedback they’ve been hearing for the last couple of years. Now, whether they choose to listen is another story, but at least it will signal nothing has changed.

If the people who are frustrated don’t participate, then all that’s left are the people who think everything is fine. That paints a completely false picture, and I’m not willing to let that happen.

The survey only has value if people answer honestly. If leadership doesn’t like the results, maybe the problem isn’t the employees giving the feedback, maybe it’s the reason for the feedback itself.

Silence changes nothing. Honest feedback at least gives them the choice to either address the problems again or explain, once again, why they think everyone else is wrong.

Sorry, not sorry.

How many times will I need to hear his sp-t?

What was your assessment feedback? Share the most useless and inactionable feedback you received this year.

Work habits of employees at Oracle has worsened drastically in recent days. Every one going behind AI and trying to assume responsibilities of others.
More like I can also do your work (so we don't need you).

Reduced dependencies inside Team. There used to be a lot of discussions on code base, No one is talking to each other often now.

People using more AI to board more enhancements. But they dont understand how much cr-p they bring.

Should I take it as a sign? Lol.

This feels like a textbook example of people believing their own narrative. Instead of meaningful transparency or honest discussion, it’s filled with self-congratulation and carefully crafted talking points.

There’s very little substantive information here. It’s just selective framing, unsupported claims, and messaging that doesn’t align with what many people are actually experiencing. Rather than acknowledging legitimate concerns or difficult realities, the focus seems to be on celebrating themselves and controlling the narrative.

Real leadership is measured by results and accountability, not by how enthusiastically you praise your own performance. At some point, the applause for yourselves has to give way to honest conversations backed by facts.

Me to Claude: should all these people lose their jobs?

Claude: “Thanks for the question. It would appear so.”

For those who forgot we had a coworker die in the office and she was not discovered for several days. How many systems failed her? If you think you should give your life to this company remember that happened. Reinvest in your family and community.

0/10 would not recommend!!!! I wrote they are exploitive and my thoughts on making us all wait for this VSP. Mission Simplify is a fu--ing joke

Questions are posted and the admin marks them "ANSWERED" yet they are never answered and are ultimately removed from the queue. This is why we have trust issues.

Don”t speak up unless you do it anonymously. Keep records of everything and document! dated, times etc. Then if nothing changes OR you start to be treated different because your leader knows you are the one that filed the complaint then file a claim of retaliation through EEOC. If this has already happened to you file the claim NOW! Even if you are still employed. Nike has to address the EEOC and we can’t keep staying silent while we work for this company that allows discrimination and retaliation. The EEOC will starts to see the trend. Do it NOW! We deserve to feel safe when we come to work and HR and Legal don’t have our back and it’s toxic! Don’t make this toxic culture the norm. Remember that we spend more time at work than we do with our family. It’s taking a toll! Maybe after we expose how toxic it is then Nike can actually recover. Right now we are in fight or flight mode and nothing productive happens in that headspace.

I understand the anger against GK, which is valid but is it necessary to throw all Indians under the bus? As a WASP who has worked with several competent Indian origin employees over the years who even went on to become American citizens, I just find all this stereotyping against an entire community a sad projection of what our country has become. Always thought the USB community was above it. Every group without exceptions has competency across the board in similar percentages so I don't understand this new and rising sentiment. Just venting, I guess.

Somebody tell Netflix, I’m ready to tell my story. I want customers, and providers to know how Cigna really feels about them and how this company ACTUALLY treat their employees. This is absurd and the world needs to hear what’s happening.

Heard a rumor that there was a third individual at the secret hotel meetings. Any idea who that could be?

We know how you love the so called anonymous survey. I'm sure KT in HR would support a survey, but MH knows that it will make him look bad, so No surveys anytime soon. KT keep up the pressure maybe he will resign, so you don't have to continue babysitting him for Apollo.

If you post about the misandry at Cummins stating facts....it gets deleted. Strange.

What's up with all the downvoting suddenly? It's likely Centene the company themselves doing it or company boot lickers (get a life). To employees: never complete those manipulating and invalidating voice surveys but speak your voice here safely and don't be discouraged. Ignore downvoting and negative scores. Fk em. It's not that serious to be downvoting.

When is layoff going to add a section for honeywell aerospace? Many are ready to start sharing thoughts

Has anyone else noticed something that looks like ‘Pegasus’ popping up on their screen? Not sure if I’m imagining it or if this is really happening. Posting this in case it gets taken down curious if others are seeing the same thing

HR was actually too nervous to post the numbers for those regions. Honestly, I don't want to waste my time on it. Plus, if I did take it, my responses would just look like an outlier anyway.

Is there a way to report an issue to HR anonymously?

Any one see the signup post on the basking ridge slack for red chairs on 7/16 in BR? Is this some sick twisted joke?

I was told by an AD yesterday that they were asked “to do something they don’t typically do for midyear reviews and when asked why the Director said they don’t know why.” Any idea what this is and if it’s specific to this org or something happening more broadly?

Everyone knows that layoffs are coming and the company is restructuring. We also know that WF has no qualms about doing so ethically or unethically. The question is, why aren't we doing everything we can to fight back? The company doesn't care if you get displaced and lose your severance. Trying to play the games leadership makes is only going to hurt everyone in the long run.

Newsflash, you're out of a job. It's no longer a matter of "if" but "when". So you can't save your package or your income here. But what you can do is document everything, practice malicious compliance, and report what you see to your local bureaus/attorney and make the restructuring process as slow and painful for the company as possible. Go to the press and submit anonymous information even.

Because if you got by the mentality of "at least it wasn't me" otherwise, then guess what. You're still going to end up laid off and then come here to complain about how "it's not fair." At least this way it forces leadership to think twice about the battles they pick. And maybe, just maybe it buys you and everyone else some time to get ahead of the curb before they start firing soon instead of complaining constantly, not doing anything about it, and then wonder why things are still toxic here.

I have been in a legally protected status, but now theyre after my job. been in this place for 5 years and this is what they do. if you tote work life balance, where is the example. hikes are dismall, childcare is so darn expensive and if you make changes according to the employee handbook, they decide to drop you with a hot potato.. new parents be damned! product and innnovation group and digital assets is a horrible place. stay away. ive gotten a lawyer

Bring back the survey you bloody cowards, too afraid of your employees you’d rather bury your head in a hole?

As the title states, how are the other departments doing in fab 8? Have any positions been backfilled since last year? Management is acting so despondent. AI this, pick up the slack, no work. What the heck is going on?

Mr. Walton was the CRO for Fiserv pre-merger. Then one day he just disappeared. Does anyone know what happened to him?

Stop putting AI meetings during lunch hour. We already know AI is coming for our jobs because you’re forcing it down our throats! Now you want to take my lunch too!!!!
