Management doesn't value competence or good workers

The C-suite/upper management obviously hasn't cared about their employees for many years. One would think they should care, at least a little bit, about work actually getting done so their departments can be profitable.

Nope, those parasites only care about their own image, personal petty grievances, and control over their employees. They are more than happy to fire the best people rather than own up to the problems they created. I guess in their cynical minds it's better to quell any resistance and come out on top, even if just for one quarter before their pathetic decisions catch up to them.

There's no point in loyalty to this company. They don't plan on returning it. Work your shift, have your coworkers back, and don't give Canon a moment extra of your time or effort.


MYCOMPUTERCAREER - WORST EMPLOYER EVER

I could not find MyComputerCareer in the Layoff website, but it should be. This company experienced regular layoffs, almost as if they were on a 2-3 year schedule. They have these values that are not upheld, love, ethics, excellence, customer first. They are a typical predatory institutiton that the DOE, DOL and DOJ should look into.


No future if you are not Outstanding or Excellent and no sponsor

If you are not outstanding or excellent then did you know you are not considered regretted attrition when you quit? They do not care about or invest in anyone who is not sponsored. If you are outstanding or excellent now and have no sponsor just know it will not last. Also what happens when your sponsor leaves? Look around and learn. There is no future here. It is not a meritocracy.


NCR ATLEOS SERBIA HAS BECOME A TYPICAL STATE OWNED COMPANY

A bunch of buddies who were politically selected walking around campus pretending they own the company in Belgrade and laughing and walking around all day protecting each other and posting pictures on LinkedIn where each sends a like to one another within 5 minutes. Typical drzavna frima behavior, where the general manager has yet to speak with his employees on the floor .. and not to mention the HR Director that has no clue what she is doing, because basically she is doing what she is told lol, but as everyone can see they cant raise food allowance for employees for 10 dollars in 10 years, but what they can do is post pictures how they are going out to diner with very important people ...


Companies will spend thousands replacing a great employee before spending one hour addressing a bad manager.

Companies will spend thousands replacing a great employee before spending one honest hour addressing a bad manager.

That is the part most leaders do not want to look at.

Toxic managers usually do not destroy a company overnight.

They do it slowly.

One resignation at a time.
One burned-out employee at a time.
One checked-out team at a time.

Gallup has found that managers account for at least 70% of the variance in employee engagement.

That should make every leadership team uncomfortable.

But bad managers still get protected because:

↳ They’ve been here forever.
↳ They hit their numbers.
↳ That’s just how they are.

Meanwhile, good employees quietly start taking recruiter calls.

Here’s what toxic managers cost the organization:

  1. Employees stop taking initiative because fear replaces clarity.
  2. Trust disappears because control gets mistaken for leadership.
  3. Good people start doubting themselves.
  4. Politics become safer than performance.
  5. Burnout becomes normal.
  6. Credit goes up and blame rolls down.
  7. Your best people leave first because they have options.

The resignation letter usually will not say “toxic boss.”

But the empty desk will.


Re: Today is your last day as my employer.

Re: Today is your last day as my employer.

You have underperformed and not met expectations. All of the promises you made to lure me to this role, were never kept.

Normally I would give you a 14-day PIP (2 weeks’ notice) before canning you, but you are not worthy, and I am ending your opportunity to employ me effective immediately.

In the middle of reading this note, I have blocked you from all ways of communicating with me. If you have any questions, please submit them to my portal, which I will never look at.

Please return anything of value you have received from my employ or I will have to send you threatening legal notes that I have no intent to pursue. Just to cause you more anxiety than I already have.

I will also send you automated messages in the middle of the night reminding you of how unwanted and unproductive you are, and to sign my correspondence or you will lose the chance to.

If you play your cards rights, I may give you a good reference, to help you take advantage of and sc--w over other employees, but you know I really have no intention of doing so. I just tell you that to make you think I care. You know I don’t.

Signed,

How Does It Feel.


Still nothing

Enrique just continuing to ruin the mental health of all employees with his absolute lies and gaslighting

This company is criminal

If you're letting people go just do it already and stop talking rubbish

Forcing people to quit by destroying the morale in the whole company

The whole board should be scrapped


InAuth / Accertify

I worked for InAuth, which was acquired by American Express. The company was run by a bunch of people who didn’t understand how to manage a software project, create a marketing plan, or exercise any meaningful leadership skills. Management was highly motivated to increase their frequent flier miles and avoid getting fired before their bonuses arrived. Everyone was interested in making money and getting promoted, but no one wanted to fix the constantly-breaking software. Charles Crupper distinguished himself by his inability to understand who the bad actors were, and to believe every self-promoting id--t who came his way. InAuth could be a business school study in how MBA’s should not run a technical company. Stupid is as stupid does.


Not Enough American Buyers want an EV

I said it before and I will say it again. Not enough American buyers want an EV. Hybrid is something a lot of people are interested in. Common sense with hybrid - you get enough range for more day to day driving off Electric, but still have gas for longer trips. Didn’t anyone at Ford learn anything from the Lightening flop? I called it back in the day. This Ford Fathom is gonna be the same deal. Bad bad bad. Waste waste waste.

Who are these “Yes” people telling BF this nonsense of EV’s???


What’s going on

Bryan has the energy of a used car salesman. He seems very untrustworthy and incompetent. They just talk a lot without saying anything substantive. What is happening with the company? What is HISs future? Why do they even do quarterly calls to tell us we are doing well and then pull some bs like this. Bryan is taking home a gigantic paycheck compared to the size of our company. The greed of shareholders is really insane. Every company lays off thousands of employees like it’s nothing just because the profits were 1 or 2 percentage lower.


Why Does D Flwrs Treat employees like they are his enemies?!

Largely managing employees out! Strict tracking, micromanaging then what…? Why can’t you actually appreciate your employees and make them happy? What do you lose if you drive productivity through respect and motivation rather than toxicity and back stabbing?


Lots of lipstick on this pig!

Baron's magazine stopped just short of calling Honeywell Aero stock a value trap today: "Put together, we see Honeywell’s growth continuing to lag its peers. While the valuation is relatively inexpensive, we fear that this could be a value trap." It's no longer Honeywell, but it kept the name and the worst parts of the business practices and senior management hubris. Time to clean house in the executive suite completely and get rid of the old Allied Signal and Jack Welsh disciples that do nothing but poison companies , set them up to fail, and then walk off with golden parachutes. The downtime from the IT migration alone was in the tens of millions of dollars in Q1 alone. The migration residual issues are still a huge and expensive problem that prevents people from doing their work. It's turned into it's own whack-a-mole-zombie-juggernaut nightmare. Run, do not walk, away from this stock until they purge the cancer at the top and show solid financial results.


Executives are cluless.waiting for their stock to vest

A lot of executives VP, SVPs are waiting for their stock to vest. They have no incentives to help the field people with any of the problems, either it is Score, Support, Product issues. We are selling because of relationship and not because of any capabilities.

A lot of these oldies are rusted and need to get kicked out starting with Jeff Clarke. He is a Plague.


What's the worst you've seen at Dell?

I'll start:

I'll paraphrase because I can't remember the exact sentence but it was a director that said something along the lines that he will "get more involved" again after being a total no show for the least 5 years and later when the culling started fu---d over hundreds of people.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I really wish I'd asked him on that call what the fu-k he actually ment.


John Stinky Market based ….

Dear John. We would like some market based accountability on your dismal performance as Chief Ego Officer. All your inflated projections that don’t make a dent in your very poor performance. If we are treating talent based on performance you should have been gone a long time ago you mo--n.


Dear John Stinky

For Gods sake please leave John. Nothing you will do will brighten AT&T’s future. The damage you are doing will lead to the company being bought out. Your ego has you frozen in place. You are the reason not the employees that the company is going nowhere. Your leadership is the worst I have ever witnessed. Take your shiny slick dome and ride off into the sunset forever!


Surprised they are still in business at alk

Worked here some time ago, the management was terrible. Their so called 1, 2, and 3rd level leaders were extremely terrible human beings. They treated people poorly and there was no recourse for the staff. The higher level management just believed their lies, no accountability, it was a really terrible gruling experience.


Where to go?

I've been scanning other banks on this site, and it's discouraging. Everyone seems to be dealing with the same issues, from layoffs, to toxicity, to bad leadership. I want out, but I don't want to jump from one dumpster fire to another. Is there actually a better alternative out there, or is this just what the industry has become?


Open your eyes and see the truth. Once you do there is clarity and everything makes sense.

Exxon is a dysfunctional hellhole that is like bizarro world. Everything is run absurdly at exxon. Employees that are connected and favorites are given promotions. Supervisors are the types that would ki-l their own mother to get ahead. Think about your true performance compared to others in the company and is it true? Are you truly as worthless as exxon deems you to be? The answer is most cases is no. Exxon tries to motivate and scare its employees by fear tactics and intimidation. Employees are encouraged to outdo and tell on other employees. Gossip is rampant and perception is paramount. The friends and families are all connected and well protected at exxon. Exxon will try to break you down and destroy your self-esteem and dignity. Once you escape and leave this horrible place you can finally see the truth. It is like being trapped in prison or a bad relationship because it is all you know. If you can find a normal company to work for where you can excel and be your best you can see the difference. What kind of crazy company would hold an employee back and not use them to their fullest potential just because they were not a favorite or chosen? Would it not make sense for exxon to use the talents of its employees to their fullest potential? This is the true evil of exxon and the dysfunction. The ranking system is fixed and hardworking talented employees are destroyed and piped every year. Exxon is not a good place to work and is detrimental to your health. Escape if you can before you are in to deep and ruined.


Let Robin eat it

Since he wants to sc--w Americans out of jobs and keep laying off with false performance, stop helping set them up for success. Do not put your notes out there, do not share them, do not update procedures with all steps. Quit doing it! Let this pr--k and all the mini pricks below helping to ruin everyones lives, get what they deserve. A team full of id--ts who cannot fight their way out of an open paper bag
