#badleadership

Mods pulled xxon post saying they have issues with unassigned space.

How about the mangers stop saving spaces and tell us where we can and can’t sit.

It’s first come first serve. Thats the whole model

It is no secret that the overseas agents were bad. The ai tools were good sometimes, other times totally wrong with what they said and not helpful. I understand using tech to make it easier. But I have serious doubts that the actions they have taken this month will benefit the company, remaining employees, or customers. In my mind I thought I'll wait it out and when they realize it was a mistake, I'll apply again. But the more I look for new employment and the more time removed from Wayfair, I don't think going back is a good move. Which su-ks because I liked a lot of people there. At this point I'll be happy to get my w2 and be done with them.

I cannot believe the words coming out from these so called leaders mouth. I guess as long as they can travel the world and enjoy in company’s cost - they don’t care. It will be another company that goes to ground.

Only in the company a few months. Chaos everywhere, nothing works as it should, layoffs , Reorg and no CEO. People treated like cr-p and MGMT are the worst I've ever seen

What a dump , I'm lucky that I've enough savings to last 2 years so I'm thinking of walking out

Is this what Sandip Dorkani meant by 100x, crashing the stock price? 52 week low of 234 could be reached at this point. One disaster after another lately with leadership. Brush up your resume and look elsewhere, the only thing that will 100x now is layoffs, if that is even possible

With a pip. What a horrible company

Wireless used to be a great company and I loved working there until the Vodafone buyout. Once the telecom executives got a hold of wireless they started the RIF/outsource/off-shore march. The Telecom side hasn't been profitable for decades so you can downsize as your business shrinks. This strategy does not work for wireless when you're adding 250k-1M customers a quarter. Verizon doesn't know how to run a successful business. The telecom senior management removed all the Wireless execs and proceeded to turn Verizon Wireless into Verizon Telecom which was a death sentence. Verizon has never bought a business that they haven't destroyed with the same failed strategy of RIF/outsource/off-shore. That's the only thing they know and it has never worked. They did the same to YAHOO, American online and countless other acquisitions. As soon as I heard about the Vodafone deal, I said within 10 years, wireless will be ruined and I was right. When I left, I tried to transfer my concession number to my private phone (after approvals). I was totally offline for 4 days and ended up just having my non-concession number restored. Because I recently bought a new phone on a promotion, it was also cancelled as they tried to change my number. Took me another 6 months to get my billing corrected. They RIF'd everyone on the wireless side who knew what they were doing. These id--ts never learn. They keep doing the same thing expecting a different outcome. Sounds like insanity to me. I took a VSP but I feel really bad for the folks still trying to hold on. My advice... if you're under 50 years old take a RIF and find a company that appreciates you. If you're 50 or older, find something first. It's not easy finding a comparable job and salary once you get into your 50's.

IMO - Optum should completely overhaul and replace the incompetent and absent middle management from all the inherited poor performing Kelsey-Seybold Clinics within Houston Metropolitan area. Most of these pseudo leaders were promoted by their sleezy, biased, discriminatory, and undeserving Grandfathered department chairs. Supervisors and team leads nearly out number the true blue collar employees.

I was hoping for better than my last job. But that didn't happen. It's as if I never left the other company. Broken promises, a bunch of hot air and bunch of pretenders.

This place is so incredibly top-heavy with managers who have fancy titles but deliver nothing. Of course, all of them protect each other, which is why they survive every reorg. Imagine a world in which they are the ones getting cut and the people who actually contribute are left alone. I know, never gonna happen here.

Pointing out issues or problems is a surefire way to get marked as a troublemaker. The response of those above you - in my experience but others as well - is never to address the issue, but to punish the messenger. Needless to say, HR is not your friend in this process, so you end up being sc--wed over for trying to fix things. Just don't bother.

My heart goes out to everyone who was let go last week. With the economy and job market like this, I don't think the timing could be worse. The company's disregard for people's lives is shocking and cruel.

Anyone else having the joy of working with NextGen AEs straight out of school?

I work with a few, and the spectrum is… spectacular. A tiny minority might actually grow into the role. The rest have perfected the art of delegating everything except praise and self-promotion. Responsibility? Experience? Insight? Optional. Ego? Olympic-level.

Dell seems to be placing a bold bet on these kids. In reality, it’s like handing a Ferrari to someone whose only driving experience is Mario Kart — thrilled, clueless, and fully expecting the finish line to magically appear ahead of everyone else. Meanwhile, the rest of us are clinging to the brakes, praying we survive the ride.

And management? Don’t get me started. They sit on calls nodding like bobbleheads, drinking in everything these kids say as if it were brilliance, blissfully unaware that the actual work is being done by everyone else. Talk about knowing your business — more like blind leading the blind.
Dell is a house of cards… and I’m just waiting for someone to sneeze.

Worst company in the world. Should not be part of the FAANG group

This is your sign to leave if you are an individual contributor at Medical Solutions (non-management role).

I can't begin to describe the abusive and manipulative workplace they have created since 2023 after layoffs.

What they say and do is not normal, how they treat you is not normal, what they expect of you is not normal.

My life has been infinitely better since leaving. My work valued, expectations lowered, raises higher (no 2% raises there are not normal), wages higher.

Your 5-9 or really even during your 9-5 efforts should be focused entirely on getting out of that place. If you land a remote job double up and milk them until they fire you for as many paychecks as you can.

In case you missed it med sol is a valued as a CCC company by the investment firm (the kind of $h.it that crumbles in recessions).

I'll say it in layman terms: they do not care about you and will lay you off the first chance they get because it pads their bottom line.

There are thousands of other companies that will value you more than this place. Get out and let your managers who have been ordered to manage you out to deal with the stress of manufactured urgency they have created.

This is your sign.

I’ve been around long enough to see multiple versions of Nike’s SLT come and go. This one is easily the worst. Even with natural turnover over the years, I’ve never seen a group this ineffective or directionless. There’s no real vision, no sense of how to move the company forward. Even the person at the top seems to be winging it. Hard to see how this ends well. The company feels beyond saving.

I have never in my life felt more contempt for an organization than I do for UHG. Their revenue comes from denying medical care and stealing from the federal government. Our CEO is like a Frankenstein-esque combination of Darth Vader and Mr. Burns. They treat their employees like s--- and outsource jobs to Indians who barely speak English and couldn't code their way out of a paper bag. UHG is basically a corporate sweatshop.

And let's not forget about the incompetent, soulless freaks who make up the executive team. You gotta love working under 12 layers of id--ts who spend their days not actually doing anything productive but sitting in meetings planning how to cut costs and squeeze more work out of their burned out employees. F this place.

Facing a dangerous cold snap that will impact most of the HCSC offices, not a single message was sent from anyone that said “you know what, because we value your health and safety, don’t worry about badging in on Friday. Your wellbeing is our more important to us than checking a box or monitoring your whereabouts.”

It’s clear that the amount of greed here is at the top of the list. This company will fold within a few years.

Will MW be man enough to answer tough questions from his completely demoralized and angry work force? We all know he's not amd will just take soft ball questions and won't speak about how bad morale is!

Captain Mainwaring ordered his beleaguered troops to work harder to get yet another 0% pay rise. Nice work DA, that was a masterclass in how to p1ss off your staff even more. Maybe this clown should look in the mirror and realise he is the problem? All he’s overseen is contract run-offs and now they are drying up, nothing is coming in. Funny that but it’s all the poor employees fault for not working hard enough. No Captain, it’s your set up, your cronies and your skills at trying to run the company as a military set up that’s failing. It’s not hard, look after your staff and the rest will look after itself. We’re not 16 year old squaddies standing in line taking your orders. Dismissed…

that’s it. I lost access to VPN. Got instruction to reset my password. The instruction is sitting behind the VPN. WTH! I need to open a service support. Opened it, sorry it requires VPN. WTH!

I cannot reset the password with the last 24 or 25 times i have used. WTH! Does it help security? Doubt it

I have to do it every 3 months. That means I can reuse the 1st password after 6 years.

What such a stuxxd design!

Once was a time I was proud to work at VZ. In the matter of two short years It turned into a sh-tshow I blame my director for hiring supervisors without a clue in the world how the world works or how to turn a wrench. GET THESE GUYS OUT! p.s. I would bring my concerns up to my supervisor but the retaliation at this company is real. RIP VERIZON ON TO THE NEXT

I have about 6 names I have filed away deep into memory, and I have a very long memory. There is a small chance that one day in the future your name will cross my desk and I will remember you. I will remember how you lied, manipulated and gamed the system to stack rank good people to force them out the door. I will remember your lack of ethics. If that day ever comes know this: I will remember you, and I will be sure to exert whatever influence I have to reciprocate after you burned that bridge.

Also know this, there are thousands of others like me who will remember you. They will also remember how Wells Fargo treated them. Eventually the damage to your reputation, and the firms, will catch up to you.

The people who run this company do not know what to do! Every directive we get from the top makes no sense and makes all of our jobs harder! This business is built on collecting free money from tax payers and the Idots still cant make it work!

He is showing his inexperience as a rookie CEO. If he thinks that he can grow this company by doing the large layoff he did today, he is just a fool.

Anyone working in tech - is there any area that is not completely and utterly dysfunctional? Seemingly everywhere I look, we are lead by absolute muppets?

More of a cover, really, giving higher-ups maneuvering room when deciding on layoffs or firings. They rarely reflect an employee's actual performance, skills, or value to the team. When your number's up, it doesn't matter that your role is critical or that you've excelled for years and know your corner inside out. Nobody's safe. The main guide is profits, and pretty much nothing else matters.

Stock down to 28. U-k!
We have no mega paid people that actually provide leadership.
No motivation, no nothing.
What a terrible start to 26/

Over my time at Fiserv I have noticed one very prominent theme. A select few (often with lackluster work ethic) are rewarded with bonuses, raises, extra privileges, while at the same time the ones actually getting the work done are designated as “work horses” who will get the job done and be told “you are lucky to have this position, with some luck you may see a promotion in a few year!”. They wonder why half the company has silently revolted and the stock is where it is. I have seen people on my team leave for high paying roles and when asked why HR is shocked to find out that they left due to being overworked and under paid. Don’t even get me started on the retention bonuses. My advice to young professionals is this: DO NOT under any circumstances accept being a work horse and yes man. This company does not respect hard work. Ask for more money and ask early, put the pressure on them. Make sure you are applying elsewhere to get counter offers, the market is tough but it can be done.

Success and failure come from the top down. Abby has to be free falling because the company is getting worse by the day. Just grow a pair and fix the management crisis.

It’s pathetic that anxiety leave is a regular reason for people to be out of work. Life really isn’t that serious and if someone is below grade 5, really why are they stuck with incompetent management that su-ks the soul out of them? This is the company culture at this point.

Fidelity National Information Services agreed last week to pay $210 million to settle a lawsuit brought against it by investors over its $35 billion-dollar purchase of the merchant services firm Worldpay, according to a spokesperson for plaintiffs’ lawyers at the firm Labaton Keller Sucharow.
Under terms of the Dec. 17 legal agreement, the recovery is expected to be about 42 cents per “damaged share,” but that amount will be shaved to 32 cents on average, after taking into consideration up to $47.5 million in fees and expenses, plus interest, for the plaintiffs’ lawyers, according to a legal document provided by the spokesperson. The agreement is contingent on court approval.

Zayo is laying off about 15% today. Another successful period by the inept people in leadership positions.

She is laughing her @ss off every time she thinks about her 20 million $ raise last year and the 20 million $ the year before that, knowing that YOU are not getting a dime.
All wrapped up in “the bar is raised, you guys need to step it up”. Rest assured she’s got the biggest smile on her face every night she lays down to go to sleep.

Don’t forget, you’re measured on results not attempts. If you don’t execute and complete successfully an already bad idea or direction given by management, lacking resources\headcount or not and that was doomed to fail to begin with, then you fail, not management.

Congratulations to the CEO for just destroying the work life/balance at PNC. Work/life balance no longer exists at PNC. Good bye to all the talent and hard working people at this business. He has no idea what he just did to his employees.

Dont trust anyone do what u can and move on this place is crumbling from within. All the executives suites fault but everyone pays for there clueless ideas.

These fools know nothing. It is shameful.

Meeting literally started with ‘we know there are strong feeling, but try to have a productive mindset.’

Translation. We know it’s fkd but we don’t care. Get in line, worms.

Nice to know BNY finds it necessary to spend $200,000 on two stupid robots that look at if they came from a vintage 1980s Sharper Image catalog.

Two hundred grand and for what? To tell jokes? But let’s lay off staff.

Robin Vince is a useless tosspot.

Who else enjoyed the CA and AG show? I've never heard such self serving drivel! These two have proven to be among the most toxic "leaders" in recent memory. SL is too new to know how bad they really are. Her Jepordy farce was a complete flop. Alex, I'll take "tell us your sales superpower for 2 cents."
