Why does this organization think people are so stupid?

Pretty wild that we have to take a quiz on the company strategy. The same strategy that took 4 hours to even explain. Does he really think we are that stupid? 😆

I see a lot of talk on here from people from Clifton. I'm down in Palm Bay.. what's the ratio here?

Had an inside talk with a supervisor from CRU and things aren’t looking good they are feeding us lies on top of lies our leaders aren’t for us

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.

If your career is not owned by GP then you should NEVER accept a role where you will be ranked with GP. For example a project assignment. They will use you to fill the bottom of the rank group and protect their own. They do not value the contributions of anyone who is not from GP.

Mandate from management to ensure BTC expats in the US rank well as “these are the future leaders of the company” which means you will not be ranked well.

Nationwide layoffs at Cumulus Media have resulted in the departure of two long-serving radio personalities from KFRU in Mid-Missouri. David Gaines and Simon Rose were affected by these company-wide reductions. Rose had a career spanning 37 years at KFRU and 33 years at KBXR. His former co-host expressed disappointment, calling the cuts a loss for local radio. Cumulus Media recently emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Citi makes it look like paradise. The team culture doesn't matter when the entire company is broken. I catch myself doing and saying things I never would have anywhere else, just to keep my head above water. If you aren't cutthroat, you get destroyed. Anyone with integrity sticks out like a sore thumb here.

Prepare to be shown the door. Turning 50 is like putting a target on your back here.

are employees seeing any improvements in the work environment with the new leadership?

After reading so many posts about toxicity, internal politics, work culture, terminating good employees and demotivation. I am curious as to what is the leadership mindset? Have the good leader beed fired too?

These Town Hall meetings should be shown to people with insomnia so they can get some sleep. Brutal.

Are people freaking out or has the excuse making and delusion started? I feel bad for the poor souls who are still there...

Folks between stock price falling, security officers being hired on, still lack of investment into our people and buildings. It's only matter of time. AI is around the corner, the clock is ticking. Every department is leveraging Copilot more and more, external contractors are hired to leverage AI. It was fun while it lasted.

Fear tactics, low morale, revolving door, broken trust... All of which BNY leadership has hit, and then some. We need a completely new leadership if things are ever going to improve.

The acquired company doesn't care about the employees or the customer, so why are you still there. The only Citrix thing about Citrix now is the name. It is nowhere near the great company it was while it was Mark Templeton was there. Ever since the acquisition, it has not only gone down in value, but also in the human culture it had.

Resign. Spend time with your friends and family. Travel. Be a good person to yourself. They will never treat you like anything other than the number. The layoff after the acquisition was the best thing that ever happened to me. Live long and happy, my friend. I don't always drink beer, but when I do, it is the flavor-of-like I drink.

The Howard Stern Show has reportedly implemented a dress code that prohibits female employees from wearing sneakers, while male staff face no such restriction. This policy has led to accusations of s-xism and has reportedly caused female employees to hide alternative footwear at work. Insiders claim the rule has persisted despite changing workplace norms and a general shift towards more casual attire. The show has also faced scrutiny for other strict rules, including a ban on staff speaking directly to Howard Stern at parties.

I'm the only one on my team who isn't terrified of losing their job. Everyone else is a robot, keeping their head down, acting submissive, silent, and never pushing back. It's depressing to see.

What happened?

So nice to see that our intrepid CEO took time away from his busy travel schedule to appear on the field at Yankee stadium. Always love getting these updates on our jet-setting, pl----y, CEO who does no actual work aside from finalizing decisions on how to pay us all as little as possible.

When I first joined, there was a real sense that people cared about the work and about each other. That's mostly disappeared now. Years of changes have completely stripped away whatever it was that made the place special, and we're now at the point where loyalty and experience don't count for much. It's depressing watching a company lose the culture that made people want to stay.

Poor decisions, no talent, no accountability, pretty much every day is a disaster. Layoffs are just the end result.

I've seen people move to positions with more money and more prestige, and most regretted it because in the end, it cost them their families. Fiserv is not kind to anybody, and the higher you are (outside of the C-suite, of course) the more you're expected to do. I'd rather have my time than their paycheck.

Mehta couldn’t even be bothered to attend the Town Hall in Camden today. Left Nino swinging in the wind…

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.

Apparently everything is going great blah blah blah. Not one mention of the stock imploding in July and $70B of IBM market value evaporating. My take away is that these "leaders" are professional liars and con-men/women.

The office is like old folks home it’s an aging firm where nobody has the drive to push for innovation because of long service. Everyone is slacked any new projects or ideas quickly get throw out the window. Network / Data firm but it’s very outdated .
Need new blood transfusion of workforce before too late.

Any progress rooting out employees with fake degrees, and moving them out.

Wow Bac invests 250 billion on various entities. Also partners with India finance company. Thanks for working your a-s off as the company looks elsewhere . Don’t forget to follow the new RTO rules.

They are constantly laying people off!

Hows the politicking going on in our most political function?

fun times!

I feel like this is something bigger than just RTO FT.
There are no jobs listed and I’m still waiting on hearing on an internal job I interviewed for weeks ago.
HR is missing in action.
This is really weird it’s like something has happened behind the scenes or they know something cataclysmic is about to drop.
But I’m getting a very bad feeling on this entire shift.
Maybe in six months or even three we’ll see the big picture but right now it’s blurrier than a Monet.

I work as a nobody sitting on the SLT floor everyday. They don’t even like using your bathrooms and call people that don’t work on the SLT floor “the people down there”. Do you think they care about anything you write here? They are too busy group texting each other d-mb selfies from sports game suites.

in the entire corporate world.

Not just among oil majors. Look it up. That’s it, that’s the post.

Forged Fiber is hiring for remote positions. AT&T’s own careers site currently shows remote and virtual openings.

So apparently remote work is good enough for some parts of the company, but the rest of us need to be in the office five days a week.

Same company. Same technology. Same Teams calls. Same internet. Yet two completely different sets of rules.

I guess they finally figured out that telling candidates they have to report to an office five days a week isn’t exactly a great way to attract talent. But somehow the employees already here are still being told that five-day RTO is essential.

If a job can be done remotely when you’re trying to hire someone, why can’t it be done remotely after you’ve hired them?

This is exactly why people don’t buy the BS argument that 5x RTO is about productivity. It’s a policy choice.

And apparently even AT&T knows when it needs to make a different choice to get the talent it wants. This place is really a joke.

I keep reading these posts about Verizon having once been a utopian workplace and a pure meritocracy. I joined in 2010 and it was anything but. It was more profitable and had a better network than its competitors but it was no meritocracy. There were lots of incompetent "leaders" and DEI had nothing to do with it because they were not minorities. It was also very cliquey.

So when was this mythical golden age that I missed out on?

How is this STILL happening? This should be one of the easiest things imaginable to get right... you’ve only had YEARS to figure it out…. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at the incompetence.

We’re being told five-day RTO is important enough to monitor and enforce, while the system they’re using to monitor it can’t even produce an accurate report.

And we’re supposed to trust this data enough for it to impact employees? What a fu-k!ng joke.

When I started here, I was always willing to jump in and help when someone needed coverage. I figured taking on extra work would show that I was dependable and committed. Instead, those temporary tasks slowly became part of my regular workload, with nothing taken off my plate. I've definitely stopped volunteering as much.
