#anonymous

Ive been stalking LinkedIn since everything on here is so vague. One manager in particular that is lazy and I'm not sure how he got where he is, is still there commenting on others posts that were laid off, saying he will miss them. smh. Was hoping he would get the boot.

Since we all know that the anonymous employee survey is anything but...and the results are carefully repackaged... Let's use this space to openly and fairly rank a few questions:

1. I would recommend PSX as a great place to work.
2. I am inspired by the mission and purpose of PSX.
3. I see myself still working at PSX in two years.
4. I feel comfortable providing upward feedback to my supervisor.
5. Leadership effectively communicates the goals and strategy of the company.

1 - Strongly Disagree | 5 - Strongly Agree

For me: 3, 2, 2, 1, 2

Let’s have some fun! Wrong answers only! I’ll start:

Arrogant Dou--ebag

It was so embarrassed to see the guy lost his "train" on the stage. I guess he forgot to bring his AI assistant as he usually did for most meeting calls to assist him and make him look good.

My impression thus far is that

That’s it, that’s the post. That’s what it feels like inside this dumpster fire.

Well wishes to all.

On a scale of 1-10 how much of a cr-p shower will it be?

Has anyone suffered consequences for writing something critical in the comment boxes?

My director level manager has no management or relevant experience and is essentially an AI bot. Every question is answered by AI. Every meeting they are using what I suspect is Teams live captions to copy text and put it in AI and I’m then read an AI response word for word I can see their eyes reading text. The response is delayed while AI answers, they stumble and the response is generally not relevant or wrong. Is anyone else experiencing this? I’m not against AI but this feels insane.

Employees have concluded that withholding feedback is safer than providing it.

I was one of the unlucky (or, lucky?) ones. Who else out here?

Got invited to link up with my boss who I’ll be in town..anyone got the skinny. Odd timing

I just want to thank folks who're taking the time to let us know what's going on, some of them even at one of the worst moments of their lives. It's sad we have to rely on this place to get our info instead of the leadership, but it is what it is. So thank you, it's truly appreciated.

I noticed we have an unannounced surprise guest from HR (contractor) on a team call this week. I wonder what that’s for?

Not part of any team that has been announced here thus far. It’s been a trip!

A cautionary tale for anyone considering an anonymous HR complaint: An engineer reported a workplace concern through the company’s HR system, expecting confidentiality. Soon after, my incompetent manager (Yes we have more managers than engineers) began excluding them from meetings, piling on unrealistic deadlines, and criticizing their performance. The engineer kept a dated record of each incident and saved relevant messages, then reported the suspected retaliation through the appropriate channels.

If you speak up, document what happens afterward and keep copies of relevant communications. An anonymous report may not guarantee that your identity stays unknown, so consider the risks and seek independent advice if you face retaliation.

Who has the dirt?

Not a fan of the midnight email, or the “timing will vary” messaging around the upcoming layoffs.
Anyone hearing any swirl in their departments?

It’s not foolproof but might give you an idea if you’re on a list

I just read somebody mention an active button in one of the threads, and I realized there's a way to sort posts by the ones with latest comment on the main page. Posting this just in case others might have missed the obvious "Active" button like I did for months.

That's it. That's the post.

This site allows anonymous posting publicly, but it is not completely anonymous. ( Just ChatGPT ) , I would very much carefully to post organization names, directors names etc. Maybe is just me, but …

I was honest and direct. How about you all?

I have multiple people on my team who do not show up for work during RTO week at least once or twice.

I want to report them and get them in trouble.

What's the best way? I want to be anonymous. Proof is in the pudding. When they investigate, they will know. They don't need to know who I am!!!

Boy, Dell must really be getting their feelings hurt, especially JC. Lots of posts deleted in the past week.

Be careful, this website is owned by Ford HR and they monitor all messages. My messages are being deleted and they only keep messages that they approve. You've been warned.

Who the f**k designed this abomination? Was it the CEOs kids?

How long until somebody notices?

When this will happen this year? Did HR forgot about?

Of employees time in time out time on laptop time off patio if they use co pilot if they don’t use co pilot?
Asking for s friend

So I was reading company email last and see another VP is retiring! Man ain’t it ashame, when anyone else retires in the company that’s not an A$$ kisser, no email about there retirement of thank you! AT&T , what you gotta say! Sounds like Walmart for sure

Heard it's going on on EI ?

Seems like a spot on movie.

Oh dear , dear oh dear

What are your thoughts on taking the survey? This is my first time taking the survey and I’m not sure how honest I can be.

I just want you guys to know the state of everything. My management chain kept promising me promotions if I just "did x and accomplished y" for 3 years. I finally got fed up and forced an answer instead of staying polite and deferential. My manager told me "I keep bringing you up during calibration meetings, but people aren't convinced you're ready"

I had to escalate all the way to a meeting with my manager and their director-level boss. That's when the director told me straight up, in front of my manager, "I have never heard your name come up even once in a calibration meeting"

When I looked at my manager after learning this, they said "I never made any promises."

After that, my manager tried to give me an "off-track" rating on 2 behavioral categories. I questioned the ratings and asked for an explanation or guidance on how to improve, and I got nothing.

Again, I escalated to the director and then magically my ratings were changed a week later.

Then I escalated all this to the VP of our org. I told him how my manager always tries to hide issues, I told him how I wrote up an incident report because my coworkers were not doing their work correctly. My manager tried to hide the incident report but I told him I would not stay quiet. I sent the report to his skip-level who thanked me profusely. And then next thing I know, the coworkers who I reported ended up getting moved off my team and promoted. While I stayed in the same place. And I trained them. So the people who I trained got promoted past me while I stayed stuck.

The VP of our org said "this depresses me, but it's really hard to fire people" even though I never asked about firing anyone.

This company is a sh-t show and stole years of my life from me. But also taught me extremely valuable lessons about professionalism and advocating for myself. I'll be MUCH more aware of this kind of organizational dysfunction for the rest of my life. Now I know how to see the signs.

There was a post about Spine, but it's no longer here.

Again what do these people do all day? They never answer questions. Keep you in hold in chat so long that chat asks are you still there. On top of that I reached out to the Assoc Manager the guy never even replied. Guess how many levels up in the chain there are? 6! Sr Mgr IT, LD, AVP, VP, SVP, EVP. WTF?????? Whyyyy so much management and the bottom feeders can’t even do their job correctly.
