#badleadership

Toxic place. Work that means nothing. Long days. Constant stress. Never feel safe. Old tech. Nowhere to grow. Raises that don't keep up. Bad bosses. Same thing every day. Skills going nowhere. What am I missing?

Wayfair states that it offers a great work-life balance. Sooooo not true. Their training is inadequate. Overseas employees are non-compliant. Shift bids are BS. No matter what you choose, they will give you the schedule pertaining to company needs. So you can forget about being a parent, kids will have to raise themselves! You cannot just use your PTO when needed. You will accrue attendance points for using it for emergencies or same day illness. Metrics change in the middle of the quarter. Employees know how to wrap to manipulate their metrics so it doesn’t pay to do honest work. Religious accommodations are only given to non-American employees. There are plenty of other places to work that will definitely appreciate your dedication and work ethic. Do not give more than your pay grade, they will say thank you and expect for you to keep doing it w/o being paid for it!

Oy with this cr-p company for 7 months so prob wouldn't severance but I can't stand this place, I dread every day

What are my chances

Was a good leader. Stayed off my back and allowed me to perform. Thanks Sycamore for laying off the good ones…..

Increasing bill didn't work
Matching paper bill didn't work
Delaying port outs didn't work and Dan had to back out

That organization cannot solve churn, they need expertise ASAP!!!

Let me explain how it works here. First, actual performance is irrelevant. The people who work the hardest and produce the most are seen as threats, so they get cut, while the mediocre ones who keep their heads down and do not rock the boat stay. That is the goal: mediocrity across the board. Second, if you refuse to bow to a manager who has no business leading, you are done. They will find a way to get rid of you, and when there is no legitimate case, they cheat. They will lie, plant stories, and turn your own team against you. I have seen it happen to three people, good people who simply would not accept abuse. This is not an exception. This is the entire system.

This whole place is embarrassing to be part of. Top to bottom.

I spent years at Humana and genuinely loved chunks of it. The mission, the work, some of the people. But the last couple years were rough. The workload became impossible, the appreciation dried up, and the manager we had, I've never seen someone less suited to lead. He ran through good people like they were nothing. I went to management repeatedly, told them I was overwhelmed, and offered solutions that would help everyone. Each time they found a reason to say no. It was either too hard, or too different, or not how we do things. Eventually I left. Now I'm watching what's happening from a distance and all I can say is I am so glad to be out.

If you work for DXC you are right where you belong.
The good people have long ago left leaving behind groups of dead wood.
Sad part is, the dead wood are the ones that don't leave and are whining..
If you are working for this company in the US, you are on borrowed time. But if you are just hiding there, ride it out. Your next job will no doubt be a mimimum wager anyway.
Probably at Wal Mart or its equivalent
Glad to be gone after 10 years of carrying deadwood. ON ALL Levels!

Was fortunate to get VR last year after 10 years of no pay rises and broken promises. The annual drudge of appraisals, getting feedback, self evaluation etc was mind numbing, knowing nothing would ever come out of it. My manager was worse than useless. A total waste of time who blagged and lied his way year after year. I know why people stay as it’s a cushy number and no one cares. Projects drag on and it’s amazing how clients put up with the incompetence. I’m just interested to know what actual accounts are still going in the UK. Not much on here is posted but in the last few town halls I attended there was always a ‘positive pipeline’ so just curious as to what current employees are actually working on - or more pertinent what codes are you booking time to for doing next to nothing? My last account was Defra which died a slow and painful death!

You get to experience favoritism, nepotism, and exploitation. No growth at all. Leaders who only care about themselves and face no consequences for anything. Great place.

I came to AT&T believing in things. Hard work, learning from sc--w ups, helping my team. This place broke all of that out of me. When you make a mistake here, they don't use it to teach you. They use it against you. Teamwork means watching your back while management races you toward deadlines. Initiative isn't welcome. You do what you're told and nothing more. There's no real culture. Just constant watching, constant correcting, and always the sense that they're looking for reasons to cut people.

The top people here don't actually do anything. They just collect checks while toxic behavior runs wild. It's changing everyone. You watch people turn into versions of themselves you don't even recognize. It's honestly frightening.

Please tell me why she’s sticking it to us even more with this ecard? It’s employee unappreciation day here. We all feel stressed, abused and unappreciated. Thanks, Gunjan for nothing and for no merit increase. Ugh!

Is it just me, or did they literally name the flagship product to rhyme with Titanic? 🚢💀 At least they’re being honest about the iceberg. 🧊

While the rest of us are getting "The Email" 📧👋 and watching the rolling layoffs like it’s a Netflix horror special, "Leadership" is out here doing the most:

The Strategy: Selling vaporware that doesn’t exist.

The Pivot: Sprinkling "AI" on the trash fire to hide the smell. 🤖💩

The Grind: Posting "Inspirational" LinkedIn thought-leadership slop while the actual product hasn't been updated since the Stone Age.

And we HAVE to talk about our favorite "30 Under 30" Queen. 👑✨ After absolutely nuking the Product Roadmap into the sun, she’s been promoted to "Head of Strategy." 🤡

WTF does that even mean? Is the strategy just "How to fail upward while keeping a curated aesthetic"? Asking for a friend. 💅

Yall were right! I just got my raise last week and pulled in a meeting to get let go this morning. I am apart of the team that is one of the merger companies. Damn!

Just saying

This will come as a surprise to Chevron management; respect is earned and not deserved due to title or legacy. It has been a long time since I worked with a Chevron manager who actually earned respect. Management drafts way too many entitled individuals into their ranks who have little to no regard for the workforce, do not have a reasonable understanding of the workflows they are responsible for nor a comprehension of the industry as a whole. Sad to see the company that I have worked for over twenty years start to cave in on itself due to poor leadership and decision making. Management ranks are full of nepo-babies, one hit wonders, and TikTok influencers without a clue. Experience, skills, and hard work are no longer valued here.

They have always told us “our people are our most important asset”. What does it say when you sell your most important asset. You are in a race to the bottom. I hope they win. Get out while you can. My sympathies for all those who have been affected by this very poor business decision.

I think what’s worse than the tangible changes being made is the culture and environment it’s creating. They lack actual leadership competency to know that with any change comes a far and wide ripple effect you have to LEAD through! In the absence of that you create irreparable chaos that flows all the way downstream. Your next level leaders fear their jobs so they start throwing down hammers, those leaders isolate in fear cause they don’t know how to cascade those messages. Employees then feel the weight of all of it knowing something is going on and watching their colleagues disappear like it’s a reaping. The stress causes people to act in ways they normal wouldn’t and it’s not good! Unethical behavior takes shape, employees suddenly view their colleagues as threats - he-l even leaders do. You create a culture of every man out for himself trying to essentially save their life while dying on the inside.
Whatever your intended outcome is, congratulations MC, you effectively destroyed your workforce in the end.

Why was someone brought in from an outside firm to manage the Investment Advisory Group that has no investment advisory experience over many qualified with the group?

1 supervisor in WNY blue card claims, 1 in b&e and 2 OCs who supportedh Buffalo claims. We were told at 3pm and were blindsided. Not sure if anyone else was let go. They are ruthless

I’d like to know the logic upper mgmt and the executive committee has about letting go of good tenured staff for bullsh-t reasons such as wfh status they caused while thinking the company will benefit greatly from staff and mgrs who cant do sh-t and dont know sh-t? The level of stupidity up top is embarrassing. The company has gone down jill drastically since Robin stepped in. No way people outside this company dont know this

Cost Shareholders minimum $150-$200 Billion.
T-Mobile
DTV
Time Warner
Lots of smaller potatoes as well in their shareholder evisceration stew.
Each of those two Dolt Headed CEO's will walk or have walked from their tenures with $250M each and all the perks.
Remember executive compensation is never linked to share price at ATT. Just metrics that are easily manipulated and massaged.

We have more than enough of those, and yet it doesn't seem any were affected by these layoffs.

I don't get it. I've watched two managers make huge errors, cost the company, and get promoted anyway. No connections, just rewarded for failure. What am I missing?

No hope, stripe is the top 1, due to their innovation , r n d, great work life balance, top notch salaries, fedex, also uses stripe, similarly toast took over clover, people still working here dont have talent to find jobs outside, and are ok with being slaves, getting no annual increments, spending 8 to 8 in the office, producing nothing but keeping the lights on, the legacy products need 10 people tl run them, no hopes, wonder how the vps, svps sleep at night working on such products and paying the slaves peanuts year after year! Jesus christ

They're mostly just tools to push people out. Rarely do they reflect someone’s real performance, or the value in terms of skills, experience, or productivity. And let's be honest, the higherups aren’t exactly brilliant either. Hard to see much of a difference, and that really says something.

Every single winner of this award has derailed their team project in one way or another. They don't have knowledge or skills and don't know what they are doing. I've never met one that's inteIIigent. They just know how to fake their way through the work day. And Truist never questions who really does the work behind the scenes. I would be ashamed to get this award.

They want our business as customers but treated us like piece of sh-t this performance review period. My middle finger never been this strong.

Thinking about the past few years and how our Board, C-Suite and Executive "leaders" have thoroughly missed the boat on so many potential opportunities while hitting on every landmine possible has made me conclude these are no visionaries or even leaders. They are just empty suits getting overpaid. Such a shame that good employees with a solid work ethic are taking the brunt of the fall. If nothing changes I do not think this bank will survive in to the 2030s.

Toxicity, bad management, questionable practices, all of it remains. The only thing that actually moves is the downward spiral.

What they didn't tell everyone is that 50% of the Alternate work force is also being let go on Friday 2/28. The real black Friday. eBay hurting and families will be hurting. This is not due to AI, but poor management.
@ek+1kj9p21xa

cold clueless no coverage meetings with rif and poor people left to stay and fail with not one word to address what is happening. beyond cruel and pathetic.

We have to deal with extremely poor management, and you have to belong to their circle, or they turn your life into a living he-l! Don't get me started on so many gossips going on behind the close door. You're expected to know everything and do everything but if you want to be recognized for your work, tough luck. Horrible, horrible place.

Is it just me, or does every day feel like you’re bracing for something? Meetings have gotten tense, and the only time you hear feedback is when something went wrong. God forbid you get commended for a job well done. In the end, I just keep my head down and try not to get noticed too much, either way.

Pretty amusing that dozens of posts that mention this organization, people’s horrid experiences, and its horrendous leadership have been deleted from this anonymous “safe space”.

VPs and above are not going into the office while others are forced to go in 5x a week. These “leaders” have excuses like they’re at an offsite or their car keeps breaking down. There is even a VP who takes a flight from Florida each week to go into the NY office but does not go in every day. Meanwhile its been sparse at the office with anyone below VP level and people come in for just a few hours. There’s even some talk between senior leaders about only coming in some days. Some teams go in everyday while others on different floors don’t seem to be going in at all. There’s no work, people scrolling on their phones all day, and people on the same floor slacking each other because they don’t want to walk to their meetings. And looks like they’re still hiring remote positions.

This place is a sh-t show, pays like sh-t, and we get treated like sh-t. Meanwhile “leadership” gets paid more than 6 figures, have people cook and clean for them, people to take care of their kids, while we have to slave away in traffic and do nothing at the office. DE said RTO was so successful, but what is even the measurement? The guy talks out of his a-s and the so-called “leadership” covers for each other but not for the people who are actually doing whatever work there is.

Make it make sense!
