#badleadership

Significant change in culture and employee satisfaction. A few extremely poor leaders out in leadership and department head positions and everyone is job scares, anxious and unhappy. CEO change and the domino effect afterwards was a big part of it. Sad, but at some point the cancer will be identified and removed

I have seen several capable coworkers leave over the past year and it rarely had anything to do with the work itself. Most of the frustration came from how people were spoken to or ignored by management. After a while employees stop feeling valued and start looking elsewhere. It is becoming a pattern that more people are noticing. Exxon is losing good workers it should be trying to keep.

How can you mess up a company so badly and never answer for any of it? Are we in a TV show and they have plot armor? What is it that's keeping them untouchable despite so many failures?

Besides broken systems, unqualified leadership and performative culture?

Denise, I hope you're listening and reading the feedback from sites like TheLayoff. It should come as no surprise that BD employees are fed up with the non-sense and your incoherent babbling in the townhalls acting like you understand anything that's going on in the company. Shame on you for perpetuating the dysfunction of the greater IT organization and trying to spin it as "BD excellence". Your recognition means nothing. Please do us all a favor and leave ASAP.

Sincerely,
BD employees and customers.

That tells you clearly that this had nothing to do with performance, and everything to do with a bunch of numbers on a spreadsheet. A very, very stupid move long-term.

This place hates you. Why would you break your own back for them? You're certainly not the one benefiting from your extra work.

Anybody else about to say fu-k it all and quit without a backup plan because their manager is nothing but a bully who has to compensate for his own many insecurities by putting his subordinates down every chance he gets? Welcome to the new Oracle, I guess.

The executives at this company are almost cartoonishly evil. I've never seen more people who are deluded into believing they are kind. Yes, I know and I've heard that leadership everywhere are snakes (that's how they end up where they are), but to see it up close is hard to digest.

Sadly, that's far from what happened here. The people who knew how to play politics, who knew how to hide during the bad times, they're the ones who mostly survived. Most of the people who actually knew how to lead, who had real skills and real experience, they're gone. What we've got left is the worst management team I've ever worked under and most of the rest of us who do the work looking for an exit.

I finally decided it was time to give up on FIS and started applying. Honestly, this company makes you feel so sh---y about yourself that I went in thinking I wouldn’t be able to land anything.To my surprise, a couple weeks in, I have two offers, both paying significantly more.
Put yourself out there. Believe in yourself. Don’t let this record breakingly bad executive team and their leadership make you lose confidence in your future.

This place pays cr-p, is unsafe, toxic, and with horrible management. I'm not sure why anybody's goal would be to stay at US Foods long term. I've been looking for something else for a while as it is, getting them to pay me to leave would truly be a dream come true.

After about 15 years of experience in GN&T my sincere advice is to move on and leave the toxicity behind! Don’t waste your time analyzing the future of the company, the impact of Dan’s decisions, the impact of AI, or whatever. Who cares? It’s a toxic environment and you need to get out.

At first, I thought I had drawn the short straw and got an incompetent and unethical boss who did his utmost to promote his rather incompetent favorites while holding back much more capable engineers but as time went on and positions got reshuffled, I realized it was a widespread and systemic issue.

All my bosses were fundamentally clueless about how to really improve network KPIs and relied on vibes. The company spent a lot of money on the network which masked the incompetence to a large extent.

Some people did well and got promoted to Principal or Distinguished engineer but paradoxically their work resulted in little or no concrete improvements. The promotions were also based on vibes.

You deserve bosses that know what they’re doing, treat you fairly and value your contributions! So do yourself a favor, move on as soon as possible and don’t look back.

Shoud be Enrique Lores followed by the incredibly incompetent BOD’s. Instead of terminating the employees someone needs to clean house on the horrible SLT.

Infosys is the absolute worst. None of the promises have come to be. They have no idea of what they are doing unless the goal is to destroy the business by running off customers due to their terrible performance. They are extremely difficult to communicate with and they lack basic critical thinking skills. Finally they are lazy and lack any sense of urgency. I wish I would have received a severance package because this nee reality is agonizing.

The constant manipulation by management just wears you down until you don't even recognize yourself anymore. Trust me, it's not worth it.

Pretty please? Aren't they supposed to make our jobs easier instead of harder? Why is NS determined to just promote or hire completely incompetent people? Why?

It takes two or three years to really learn a job here because everything's held together with tape and nobody wants to fix anything.

The ferriswheel is starting up again. Let’s improve the company’s bottom line by another deep cut. Why not, it keeps working? The leadership of this company couldn’t manage a lemonade stand. Total failures. Jetting back and forth between Jax and Cincinnati. Feeling they are the best leaders ever. The emperor has no clothes. The leadership is ineffective. Can we cut a few of them instead of people that are really making a difference? Can we cut the bloated CX / acct mgr world that does nothing? It is hard to convince clients that FIS is the company to partner with when you know it is sinking as the execs drill more holes to help.

We hear the low performers are being let go. It has been confirmed excellent employees are now being let go, too.

He has no clue how to run Fiserv. Dhivya has too much power and is useless. Takis is out and about and never acknowledges he works for Mike. He is plotting to take over. Mike is losing power every day, he is doomed as much as the path he has Fiserv on!

It always amazes me how cr-ppy I fiserv treats their clients. Bad pricing, strong arming negotiations because they are fortune 500 company and it’s hard deconvert , and allowing people with little regard to how they impact that client and even the economy, the slightest increase are passed down to its card holders, but sometimes the increase that Fiserv gives are really high and then question why people make drastic decisions to choose other vendors leave like if they’re the only ones that offer this service… maybe yes it’s hard to leave but once they get to leave, they are leaving. Like stop putting your profits over clients - stop putting your profits over employees and maybe and just maybe your stock will make it over $70. Should be ashamed of themselves. This is what happens when you merge with a sh-t company, place the same sh-t company leaders in high positions after the merger and wonder why it’s going to sh-t. Change your leadership.. change your culture.

And we still have people like Oliver and Octavian destroying our business and staff morale. Joe was promising but seems to have a parrot called Oliver on his shoulder feeding lies and BS to get where he wants.

When is Hitachi Ltd going to listen to their main assets, those who do the hard work, those that deal with customers every day, and want the best for the company and not just an ego trip. CSAT is nothing without those on the ground, and if they aren’t happy how can our customers be happy?

Someone high up needs to speak to the people that actually make the business tick over, and not only in AMER, but all GEOs. Find out what’s really happening and stop HR protecting these tyrants.

I have been working at this awful place for 5 years. In those 5 years I have been ranked VG
and good. I have constantly tried to move up kiss the bosses areses. Nothing I did helped not even staying late and working extra. I am salary so I dont get OT. I noticed others moving up and getting promoted. They were promoted even though they did nothing great. I found out later they were the relatives of other supervisors. Some were not even related but just friends with the supervisors. I have an engineering degree and one of the family members was promoted to be in charge of maintenance. The family member had no degree and experience. I asked why I was not given the job and was told I had not been at exxon long enough. I have given up trying and just do my job now. I was told my productivity had dropped and I needed to step it up if I wanted to remain competitive. I will probably drop in ranking this year but I don t care anymore. Exxon is a dead end for me and I am going to leave. The bad thing is I did not learn anything beneficial at exxon. I am employed as a technologist and just did stupid monkey lab work. I learned all of exxons stupid forms and useless meetings and trainings. I have found a new job at a smaller company that will employ me as an engineer. I am planning to leave asap. BTW I got a 1.5% raise last year and was told I was lucky to get that much. Baytown is a place that the blind lead the ones can see and do. I have never met a good or talented supervisor at baytown just friends and relatives of others in power. Another friend of mine went through the same thing at emhc but it was not as bad as baytown. He told me the only way to move up up was to leave exxon.

Surprising number of individuals leaving recently from all different titles/backgrounds. Bad leadership seems to be the common denominator and not listening to what employees want.

Every morning I wonder if today is the day they decide I am out. Leadership flips on people without warning and I have seen it happen too many times. The rules change weekly, nothing is written down, and I get blamed for not reading minds. I am running on empty and too scared to speak up because anyone who complains disappears. This crew has cycled through everyone multiple times since I started. They call it natural turnover but it looks much more like a sla-ghter to me.

Not even a single manager in this company seems to work on anything other than “stakeholder management” and preparing presentations for leadership.

Meanwhile, the individual contributors who actually get the work done are excluded, discarded, and overlooked, while their work is celebrated only to stroke the egos of so-called leaders. That’s the reality of Verizon today.

On Glassdoor, when you go to reviews, the entire first page of latest ones are negative. Good. People are waking up to what this place really is and warning others about it.

I've been at several companies over the last 20 years, and I've been at 3M for the last ten.

I used to be able to enthusiastically say that 3M was the best place I've ever worked.

I guess that's still true, but not the 3M of today.

This place has gotten bad, and it continues to get worse.

What the he-l kind of leadership is that?? How is that acceptable? This place used to have good managers. Now all of them have been laid off or left and we're stuck with new id--ts with zero people skills and even less knowledge. No wonder this place is sinking as fast as it is.

other than castkles in the sky and building a house of cards that wouldn't pass scrutiny with regulators in a proper administration that isn't as incompetent as the present one (past R or D admins, for example)? He's built an empire costing several million dollars including his own cost to the firm, gotten himself and Citi into a lawsuit...what else?

Jane has rewarded one buffoon after another

Bad management and a dysfunctional structure make it difficult to serve customers properly, while leadership keeps preaching principles they don’t follow themselves. Add to that a toxic culture, and navigating this would be challenging with proper pay. With what we get, it's really not worth it when you think about it.

There is a massive gap in tech, telecom, and actual sales knowledge among the CSSC team leads. Instead of leading with real product expertise and honest solutions, they rely on manipulation and shady tactics to hit numbers, which completely trashes our company's reputation and customer trust. Their sheer ignorance about our industry is staggering.

Management constantly shows they don’t know the first thing about what we do, so they just make things up on the fly to cover up their lack of knowledge. For example, they clearly don’t even know the definition of the word empathy, so they just fake it by making up robotic, scripted lines that sound completely insincere to anyone listening. Out of pure ignorance, they will straight-up lie to customer service reps by feeding them entirely fake and false information about our products, claiming we have network features or hardware specs that are pure fiction, which leaves the reps totally blind when trying to help customers. They regularly feed reps fake details about product rollouts, forcing staff to pass along completely fabricated dates for products that don't even exist yet. On top of that, they lie to the reps about company policies and contract terms, meaning the frontline staff unknowingly pushes false product promises and looks incompetent because leadership doesn't actually understand the product line. And whenever management messes up internally, they lie to the reps and blame a fake "system glitch" or backend product outage to mask their own lack of technical understanding, using the company itself as a scapegoat instead of just being transparent.

This reliance on BS over actual competence is an embarrassment. It creates a toxic environment, ki-ls customer retention, and leaves the front-line staff to clean up the mess leadership leaves behind.

I’m a TL who is tired of this.

Pay attention to these Middle Managers causing alot of these issues.....This is conservatively 30% of Fiserv issue. These manager don't even want to manage. It is for money or sponsorship. How is this fair to the reporting worker. I really no longer care but for the recent college graduates adapt and get creative. It will only get worse. Fiserv has some really really really really really really bad managers and they lie. The bad out weighs the good use to be the other way around.

Especially if you're right or your idea is actually good. You'll either get punished for it or watch someone else take credit. Learned that the hard way. Just let leadership, your manager and above, wallow in their own bad decisions. None of it matters to you anyway.

Share price in decline consecutively for years

Portfolio in decline for years

Talent in decline for years

CEO & Leadership team in decline for years

Longest period of no raises in any major IT company - they must hold the record

No strategic direction for years

I could go on and on, it is this the worst company out there?
