Not suprised oracle is laying ppl off. They’ve done 150+ acquisitions and the same thing happens every damn time... staff bail or get cut. This Has Happened MANY Times Before!!!!! oracle doesnt care about your job, they care about tech, customers, and $$$. once they buy a company, they gut the overlap, toss people they dont need, and shove the rest into whatever buzzword strategy they’re chasing (cloud, ai, whatever sounds cool to wall street). turnover there is already huge, so add an acquisition and yeah... ppl are basically walking severance packages waiting to happen. remember sun microsystems, peoplesoft, bea? same playbook. oracle buys, oracle cuts, oracle moves on. so if you’re shocked, idk what to tell you. layoffs are not a bug in oracle world, they’re the feature. ....

Why?

🤣

FN1 and FN2 were at max capacity today and then some. The (small) cafeteria was full of workers using the tables as their desk for the day, folks were working at corners of desks and had to sit away from their teams. This was at 8:45 AM, not 10 AM. It's so hard to focus during endless Teams class while folks are wandering around trying to locate a desk or spot to camp out. Someone likened it to the Spirit Airlines of office places.

Chief Disruption Officer left today so she can spend more time with her family. Does anyone in leadership ever tell the truth about anything?
P.S. I feel bad for her family.

How did Moran not get fired? He is so much worse than those Juan let go. All he knows is to talk and pretend that he runs the bank, truth being his Uncle Brad is running it for him. He does not even know the industry or products or innovation or tech to grow the business, so HOW, is here he here? Sometimes stupidity and Mo--ns also get good times, it seems. He will keep cutting more people as he knows nothing more

I’m starting to decline these. Including Lunch and learn, aka bring your own lunch, but the deep dives are catered for select clowns in the Ford Big Top Circus. This place is really getting to me and productivity is now worse with RTO and people are super agitated.

Every single one with each person sitting at their desk bored out of their minds. Can we admit RTO only makes sense if everyone moved to Westlake?

I mean like why work hard at all?

I mean I think as a nation all workers should do everything they can to interfere and hold up the employers because they have all the power.

in fact everything we should do should be to confound and frustrate the enemy, our employers: join a union

now's the perfect time to join a union because that would pi-s them off the most

how fu---d would they be if we all quit right now? https://youtu.be/CXskNwIstGw

and you can do much better. Go work at a company that actually values their employees.

Their social media feeds are filled with showing off Nike WHQ and the experience. Their biggest achievement in their life is Nike, their identify is nike. Isn’t it sad.

What a joke this is. Not feeling it. Do better leadership team.

I came here thinking it would open doors, but it’s been a grind with no real connection to leadership. Fear runs the place, and playing politics seems more important than doing good work. I’m already planning my next move out of here.

Quiet quitting drags everyone down. If you’re checked out, just leave instead of coasting and dumping work on the rest of us. The whole team pays the price when people stop pulling their weight, and it’s getting old fast.

So much time is lost in pointless politics while real work gets shoved aside. Is management letting it slide because they are part of it or just bored? Either way, it is draining to deal with nonstop nonsense.

With no accountability, it is a zoo. Velo zoo.

I heard one coworker tell that to another who'd just been laid off yesterday. He was actually trying to comfort him. The guy we lost has 12 years experience, the one who said not to take it personally has been here for a year and to say he still can barely do anything without somebody holding his hand would be an understatement. And now hearing this, I'm even more convinced he's nothing more than an id--t. And he's still here. Fu-k this place.

They’re trying to break us so we leave and they dont have to pay severance. We have all experienced it or witnessed the behaviors. , U.S staff treated like 2nd class citizens, wrongful terminations, intentional forced ratings etc. The list goes on and on. Its not going to stop until we all come together and try to do something. We need to report them
to your states EEOC . Get An investigation going.

After 5 long years, RTO starts today! What a great thing. Alarms going off, people actually showering, getting dressed and heading out to work!

No more get the kids ready, do laundry, go out get coffee, walk kids to bus stop then.....maybe start work.

This is why they pay you folks! It is called work!

Woot woot!

Horrible culture, no care about your mental health. Your life has zero value to Halliburton. Go ahead and leave on your own accord not theirs. They ain’t paying no severance. They treat you like trash.

For decades Nike was about growth, optimism and building greatness which drove culture and results. Now it is a place where people are fighting to survive and make decisions out of fear. Much different, and won't work ever.

Might as well enjoy myself in this remote meat grinder.

Cheers!

It looks like the social media team finally got bored with this site.

The irony that on layoff day O posts on Linked In that they are having Def Leopard play at O World in October. Maybe take care of your employees and READ THE ROOM.

Havelock will be shutting down. The reason it hasn’t been done yet is because the powers that be don’t want to pay labor protection claims. So, if they slowly make cuts and claim an irreversible decline in business, their chances of having a favorable argument increases.
The writing is on the wall, see it or don’t. The people running BNSF don’t care about culture, heritage, or history. They only care about one thing… money.

Can't we just pretend we're ok, like the good old days? Get the flywheel effect back running?

The EC sends out an email today reminding everyone about the principle of "Thrive Together."

Well, let's review the principle and how it is defined on paper vs. what it means in practice.

On paper: "Our culture is built by all of us, and we lead by example. Doing the right thing matters and trust is earned. Creating an environment where everyone belongs is essential - that's how we succeed."

BNY associates are not stupid and don't appreciate being lied to or kept in the dark. That's the quickest way to erode trust, confidence in leadership and culture. In fact, these are the main reasons why people are on this site and commenting about BNY workplace and deplorable people management behavior.

Not that it matters but The People Team (or EC) would be better off to communicate early and often throughout the change process. This means acting more intentionally with greater transparency, by showing receptiveness and responding to feedback on really important people concerns, and providing clear organizational direction on people management matters. So why all the secrecy? It only leads to more fear, uncertainty and doubt.

In practice: EC wants us to thrive together by working together in office 4 days per week. The only natural consequences of this mandate are to intentionally make work-life more difficult for those not living nearby a brick-and-mortar office location, to recapture corporate control and to increase work-life inflexibility.

The EC and HR communications, micromanagement, and the lack of collaboration by 'all of us' are in direct contradiction with the written definition of how we 'Thrive Together,' do the right thing and earn trust.

Where does this leadership by example come from? Come on man!

The old boys club of Ric, Adam, Rob and Glenn getting rid of anyone that challenges them!

​Welcome back to the office lackies!

Hilarious.

The culture’s assessment? Terminal.

Let’s hear some of those responses. I don’t think they’re ready to hear what people really think.

Don't forget to go to Glassdoor or other sites that potential talent might use to peek behind the curtain before interviewing and light them up. Be sure people know what a toxic place they've become.

Discuss......

If the firm expects or wants remaining associates to stay with the firm, you’d think they would give them a reason. Where’s the enhancements to comp, benefits, profit sharing, etc. that were dangled nearly two years back and mentioned again a few months ago? Haven’t heard a peep about any of that for a while.

The firm’s below-market pay already made it difficult to attract experienced talent. Now it has a bad reputation which will make recruiting even harder.

If leadership doesn’t act quick they are going to find themselves in a talent black hole. Attrition is going to spike through the roof which is maybe what the firm wants but who is going to fill those vacated roles? Candidates the firm wants aren’t going to accept mid pay AND a toxic culture. The money they’ll spend course correcting to attract talent will greatly exceed whatever savings they just captured from these layoffs. I’ve seen it before and it is not pretty for management’s pocketbook. The clock is ticking to get ahead of this disaster before it’s too late.

Hi y’all
I hope you had a good weekend. As we look to start this week in our new reality, I feel so energized and proud to see our progress that we made in the last 6 months. We’ve managed to cut away less useful roles, brought in people that we love into those vacancies despite their lack of competencies. We expect these people to exercise growth mindset to continue our progress. We managed to find savings through these layoffs which will definitely add to my bonus next year. I am just glowing after finding those valuable $. As you know, money is my god! 😉

Lastly, for folks that are still having difficulty adjusting to this new reality, remember that I am with you in this journey. Please drop by my secret garden to enjoy the tranquility and the peace it provides me every day. I know I’ve benefitted greatly from those moments of silence. Off to my tailor as I get ready for the GP meeting to charge up those that are thinking of voting me out.

Have a great week!
