#culture

Are some execs just getting a slap on the wrist for abusing their expense, per diem, and allowance accounts? I saw hints of it, but I can't tell for sure.

That's the tricky culture in action.

The company culture is in the toilet and it doesn’t seem like it can be fixed, there are too many unqualified people in too many roles because Abby was too terrified to lay anyone off during the pandemic.

It’s annoying to not know what is going to happen but a massive layoff would be the only thing that could save my group. Managers won’t even show up in the office but then nag and put people on PIPs because of their attendance. Sorry, typo there the “leaders” are leading others to not come in, by example.

This is a textbook execution of work turnover. You eliminate all of the talent. You leave a handful of your most vulnerable sheeple to say yes without friction. You proceed to turn over the work to the incoming team. Just another American company sending work overseas. But you may be surprised to know that you still hold all of the power. If you and the thousands of employees reading these posts simply stop buying their products and in turn ask the same of your other family members, extended families, friends, people at church, neighbors, etc., you might find yourself feeling less like a victim and more like an agent of change holding these companies accountable.

How much did we pay for this?

If we all just ignored the new RTO requirement. What could they do to all of us?

This training is always the derpiest of setups. Flowchart to see what training you do? Must be in training for 75 minutes? Nanny-culture

They pushed RTO hard and productivity somehow dropped instead of improving. Who'd have thought? (Other than everybody with two functioning brain cells, of course.)

Best of luck to you all living with this braindead bozo leadership. I won’t be coerced into “doing more with less”. You claim market based but don’t compensate market based. I’m done going above and beyond for a company that doesn’t even offer basic flexibility in return. Welcome to the world of 8 and skate. GFY! This ship is sinking, fast!

H1Bs are infiltrating TA... take a look inside and out in the real world.

There is no reason this couldn’t have been handled with a single, clear email sent in the morning to everyone impacted. Something every competent organization manages to do without creating chaos.
Instead, we’re expected to sit around all day refreshing our inboxes for a pointless 15-minute meeting where no real discussion even happens. This is not just inefficient, it’s unnecessary mental strain and a waste of time for every single employee.

Perfectly said, @a9+1kq8f4etn.

They keep sabotaging the stock market- ridiculous. Show some courage and hold the stock for a change.

The culture is so bad that people end up becoming worse versions of themselves the longer they stay here. It takes a special kind of talent to pull that off, but SF has always been an overachiever.

I'm not a complainer, I'm really not. But look around. Deadlines get missed constantly and nobody says anything. People used to help each other, now they hide from each other. And I've watched two different managers bend rules that I know are there for a reason. CDW isn't just struggling. It's losing what made it functional.

The Culture Week "pep rallies" and platitudes of how much this company cares about the culture and it's employees is nauseating, especially during a week when another round of layoffs is happening.

Game is gutted once more. 15 minute meeting with your leader and a script read by HR could have been done in bulk. But no. We want to drag this out.

EH is very less educated with a typical boomer mentality that technology is just made of fluffy.
He is not a strategic guy to understand that in tech driven world, although you don't need to be tech company but tech drives your competitive advantage.
These layoffs may save a dime before year-end but long term impacts on Nike's ability to compete against its competitors is eroding fast

No Dan, we do not believe.

Elevate Kevin Z and get rid of Alfonso he’s another Manon waiting to happen.

Guess who did not make the list?

Are these all hands just for him to ramble? He hasn't said anything important

Sad.

Let them do their thing and eventually sold. Oh the Hubris of SBC Stanley, Stevenson, and their Minions.

Used to work at 2U and left post emergence from bankruptcy. Obviously, this thread used to be jumping quite a bit back in the day during the more caotic and turbulent times. Curious for anyone that still works there, how are things going? Is it still a sh-t show or have things gotten better with all the new leadership

It’s the ELT and SLT lying to everyone.

It is difficult to maintain confidence in the current Light & Wonder executive leadership, particularly as their transition from Aristocrat has been overshadowed by a perceived lack of transparency. The decision to displace established leaders in favor of former associates suggests a preference for insular hiring over organizational stability.

Furthermore, an approach that prioritizes rigid internal directives over collaborative expertise has made it challenging to foster a culture of mutual trust.

Town hall meetings coming over for Monday at optum health. I guess to address the sla-ghter and tell the survivers to do more with less! 🤑

My LinkedIn feed continues to see posts of good coworkers leaving on the own and the posts are increasing in frequency. CDW leadership is ki-ling what used to be a great company (those days are long gone). Leave now while CDW still means something on your resume.

Does it ever end??? This is the worst company I’ve ever worked for! This company seems to hire toxic leadership on purpose. I have yet to meet anyone that is satisfied with the ill treatment we are met with from the leaders. The only time we get told we are doing well is right before leadership requires us to take on another meaningless project. We are over worked because those that perform well are only left to pick up the slack of the “favorites” while the favorites get paid more for doing less. I’m expected to do my managers job as well. I think I’d rather quit and take the chance of starving to save my self from this soul crushing place. I have the rudest B5 lead on team! He was a manager but was demoted due to his employee survey scores & when I tell my direct manager I am met with “ Trust me he doesn’t want to be a people leader y’all get on his nerves” if that’s the case why is he left in charge of us while your on maternity leave? It’s been he-l on Earth at this place.

BD Mebane has a very bad track record of hiring friends of HR and upper management along with management that can’t make decisions and push the blame on lower employees

When will the people here be held responsible for all of the bad decisions they make. How can a company of this size act this tjis

remember not too long ago those BA parties where metamates would brag how much they made? millions being printed for "little work". I do. Who else does ? will they be saved on May 20 th ?

are the sending 15mins impromptu meetings or sending early morning?

That's this place in a nutshell.

My last job was incredibly boring but stable. Bonuses every year, clear processes, you know how it goes. I got an offer from Ford two years ago and I thought it would be a great challenge to break the monotony. Now I'm stuck at a place where nobody knows what anyone else is doing. I miss boring.

I honestly preferred major layoffs to what we have now.

I heard from a friend about a role in GT that’s currently open. They sent my resume and cover letter to the hiring manager on Friday. He tells them today that the position can only be filled from within GT. I sit in another LOB. Can anyone explain why this is happening?
