#employeeengagement

These people are losing out on the incredible energy in the office, positive atmosphere, everyone working together doing high 5s, meetings rooms and car parks heaving with new hires

It's unbelievable

This is comedic gold. Just too much irony. Drop your best jokes in the comments

It's easy to look back through rose tinted glasses, but I've been around for 6 years now and never known it as bad as this, everyone is checked out

And you think you're doing well. No complaints from anyone about your work and then by end of year, you get inconsistently meets and some flippant comments that you're not helping enough or your work contained errors?
That was mind blowing since no one complained to me and my middle year reviews had been glowing. This was just something that happened in the past that I thought about as we're coming up on end of year reviews.

When are we going to see some real changes around here? Something that actually makes things easier -

It didn’t feel energizing. Several leaders came through with fatigues and those were reelected back. How do we expect the behaviors to change to drive ownership and accountability with same people who didn’t seem to be interested in owning their previous decisions, or designs and low energy in walking in this new expectation.

Time to hand off many batons to people who care and new leadership. Until that happens, things will not magically get better.

Anyone know when the company wide pulse or insight survey results will be shared?

Has anyone used the free career services provided with our VSP? What’s your experience?

Imagine if the survey actually served a proper purpose and was used to improve things around here. Imagine how much better this place would be. But it never happens. They ignore anything that goes against their agenda, toss it in the trash, and continue as is. So what's the fu--ing point?

I think they should add a question about whether people are looking for other jobs just so they're left in shock when they realize that the majority of employees answered "yes" to it.

Seeing an uptick on employees being promoted.

Was there a program or were ppl chosen?

Didn't here a peep about this until LinkedIn started showing all the people updating their profiles for their promotions.

Jobs need to understand that the ONLY way to make me feel appreciated is to pay me what I’m worth. That’s it. No amount of “lunch on me”, t shirts, or “team building” is going to cut it.

Anyone know what to expect in the town hall meeting tomorrow. Been here a year and never got invite to attend one.

So now leadership can see not just which teams gave, but exactly which individuals gave and how much. I find it hard to believe that won't factor into performance r

It’s just a matter of time before a strategic buyer steps in and tries to unwind the series of useless acquisitions. It has become very obvious what the ELT’s end goal is. The insane sales target for the year + the cutting of employee benefits = fattening up the hog for sla-ghter.

I hope everyone here titrates their effort down to 0. I was already checked out and plan on doubling down.

Good luck to the shareholders.

To the hard working staff member working extra hours, thank you. To the hard working people who got let go, thank you for your hard work, you deserved more. To the kind people who make everyone’s day better, thank you. To the greedy a--holes who ruined this place, you are a piece of sh-t. That is all. Thank you for reading.

Weds night, I laid in my bed thinking "not only do I have to go in tomorrow, I also have to go in the day after"

Traffic, office buzz, constant distractions, lack of personal space, zero ability to focus.

Just give us at least one day a week to work from a place where we can actually get work done.

It was so good to see you at the roadshow in Greensboro this week. I am hoping you can meet with groups of processors, underwriters and closers to get the true feeling we have in our department. The top producers don't speak up anymore because nothing changes and no one cares what we say. We are labeled as negative for giving constructive feedback or ideas. Leadership worries about the wrong things and not about the client or their experience.

Are more people are just going through the motions at work ? Any motivations ?

Just wanted to discuss anon workers thinking no hate

More and more employees are coming to this site to share their experiences under current leadership. Leadership, starting with Ramon, needs to take ownership

Do not ignore the opportunity to tell it like you see it. So many are beyond disappointed and talk about it offline, well now write it out. Someone suggested not participating. That doesn’t move the metrics at all. Participate and tell it like you are when you think leadership isn’t listening. Don’t be a coward!!!!

If you actually want to hold the “leaders” in this company accountable, consider not taking the survey at all.

Management is heavily pressured to drive survey participation, and leaders are held accountable for the overall participation rate. That means participation itself is a metric they care about.

We’ve taken these surveys before. We’ve provided honest, detailed feedback before. Ask yourself how much of that feedback resulted in meaningful change.

A low participation rate is different. It can’t be polished into a favorable engagement score or buried in a comment summary. If enough employees simply choose not to participate, the lack of participation becomes the message.

You can fill out another survey and hope this time the feedback gets heard.

Or you can decide that declining to participate is your feedback.

Tell a friend.

This new WE initiative happening - they made a big deal about it on GK’s last company townhall but has anyone actually seen any progress, aside from badge access in MN hub? It’s supposed to help employees reduce the nonsense in their day to day jobs, but nonsense seems to be only increasing.

Can anybody fill me in on key points of town hall today? I’m unable to go. Thank you 🙏

The floodgates opened a month or two ago after a year+ of absolutely no guidance. It’s like someone flipped a switch and all of a sudden, employee growth is important to CVX again. Seems like there is an email or engagement every week on this. I’m not upset by the change - it’s refreshing to see, frankly.

What led to this change in attitude from the corporation, and what’s the underlying motivation? Is attrition that bad? Call me skeptical but I don’t believe they read the CES and created this program solely in response to it.

Call starts in less than an hour. Get your 🍿 ready!

…sent to their entire team, thanking them for participating in the survey, and urging those who haven’t yet to do so before it closes next week. Stated team was already at 73%.

So at least 73% of you will never learn.

Enjoy the additional calls and “brainstorming” sessions to “fix” everything you complained about,

Dimwits.

If the engagement surveys are truly "anonymous" how do they know who has done them and who hasn't?

I absolutely love the fact that leadership is practically begging people to fill out the employee survey. Have any of them seen any of the feedback? A whole lot of really pi---d off people out there. Management will ignore the content which makes it baffling that they are pushing it so hard.

Alright everyone… how honest are we going to be

It's reasonably safe to assume that if you are on this site you are concerned about the possibility of losing your job in a layoff and judging by many of the comments you are also dissatisfied with working at NetApp. One thing I would offer is to send a message to the leaders of the company by NOT completing the employee survey. That sends the message that you are disenfranchised and don't care - which is a bigger concern than complaints around "barriers to execution" or the Thrive Together policy. BTW - has anything really ever changed as a result of these surveys?? F'em.

A few questions employees may want leadership to address at the next town hall. Add yours below.

As the first full day comes to a close, keen to hear some feedback, positive or negative.

They are absolutely breaking their backs to keep major incidents from spiralling yet they get no acknowledgement from the customer or their own management.

Is this how it is across the entire business? Would it be feasible for us to get our own side hustle despite working on site five days a week?

What comes out of the survey results and feedback?

For those who attended the GGP, how was it? Did it give you something to look forward to? What was the atmosphere?

Recently hired in a new market hub, that's a huge step-up from some of the older stores around here! Team synergy is tops too, that sure helps.
If any of you is looking for positions, look for market hubs, you won't be disappointed. I can see why they want to open more of these. We have so much parts stocked as well, I didn't have to shoo away customers yet, such a great feeling

What's the mood like? Everyone is tense in my org.

I keep hearing that “in the old days” it was not like this. It has me questioning whether this is the right company to grow my career with.

It seems like everything is a struggle these days.

I am interested to hear from those people who have worked here for a long time on what they feel has changed and more importantly if it can be fixed.

Maybe if someone up top is actually monitoring this site they will see what is being said. The fear is even if they do I have little confidence to believe they will make the change. Our company is run by people who are days away from retirement.
