This waiting for Godot sh-t is for the birds!

What do I do

How is the mood in the office?

The workload keeps growing, and the support keeps shrinking. I haven't seen a single meaningful change that would improve things in years. How are we supposed to keep working when we're all literally burning the candle at both ends?

Almost a year since I got cut and my life is better now. Is anyone actually enjoying it there still?

March 2027 for me, so I'm a bit envious of those who got earlier dates, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth!

It's fun and funny to be off work while still getting paid and receiving benefits. I just wanted to thank everyone for funding my life of leisure.

Got a nice raise of nearly $20k. Nothing like getting laid off and realizing you were being severely underpaid in your previous position.

I had a customer screaming at me over something that wasn't my error. My supervisor heard the whole thing, knew the customer was wrong, and still threw me under the bus to save face. He apologized to the customer for my confusion, then he pulled me aside and told me to just let it go with a lecture about customer experience. I hate it here.

I'll probably be checking my email at midnight on Sunday lolololol

Had such a hard time working Friday thinking about what will happen. It's Saturday and the only thing I can think of is what's going to happen on Monday. Anyone else feeling anxious?

There's no reward for hard work at Oracle anymore. The raises are terrible, nobody gets recognized, whether you're the best or just getting by, it's all the same. So I keep asking myself why I should even try. The answer I keep coming back to is that I probably shouldn't. Just do what's required and move on. It's not worth the stress.

No meaningful raises for 99% of the employees
No more monetary awards to recognize years of service
No cost of living increases
Rare that leaders are allowed ot give monetary thank you's for going the extra mile.
OT . The company that comes to mind when people say what a shi&hole.

Instagram posts showing happy employees look like they're from a parallel-universe Dell.

Will the yearly bonus be better than last year or higher ?
Considering competitors are giving six figures bonus, it's time Seagate management and C suite steps up and gives a fair share to employees

Don't be greedy ba----ds like ASML who are offering 20k bonus vested over 4 years

Seagate management for years has not taken care of employees so this is your one time to show that you really care and actual "HEALING" can begin.

I'm genuinely curious. If you hate your job so much, shouldn't you be trying to get out? I'm happy where I am, and I come here because I fear losing my job, not because I hate the company. The overwhelming hate I encounter here all the time is always shocking to me.

Or is that just me?

With all the gloom, I'm wondering if there's anyone who actually still enjoys working at this place. Not just tolerates it, but actually likes it.

Can’t believe the CEO just announced Schrute bucks.
I’m like 80% confident he just read the article below and thought it was a magical way to improve morale.

Most people quit too late.

Look out for these 12 signs:

1. Dread Every Morning
   ↳This isn't a bad week, it's a pattern that won't shift
   ↳Ex: Your stomach drops every Sunday night before Monday

2. Growth Has Stopped
   ↳You've learned everything this role can teach you
   ↳Ex: You could do your job in your sleep and haven't been challenged in months

3. Values Don't Match
   ↳The company rewards things you don't believe in
   ↳Ex: Leadership praises long hours over real results

4. No Real Feedback
   ↳Your manager never talks about your future, only your tasks
   ↳Ex: Your last three reviews said "keep doing what you're doing"

5. Constant Small Lies
   ↳You're asked to bend the truth in ways that add up
   ↳Ex: You're told to tell clients a project is "on track" when it's not

6. Health Keeps Slipping
   ↳Your body is sending signals your calendar ignores
   ↳Ex: You've had three headaches this week you didn't have last year

7. Talent Keeps Leaving
   ↳Good people quitting is a signal, not a coincidence
   ↳Ex: Three teammates left in six months and no one asked why

8. Raises Feel Impossible
   ↳You've asked clearly and gotten vague answers twice
   ↳Ex: "Let's revisit this next quarter" - for the second year in a row

9. Passion Feels Gone
   ↳You used to care, now you just show up
   ↳Ex: You stopped raising ideas in meetings months ago

10. Trust Is Broken
    ↳Something happened that changed how you see leadership
    ↳Ex: A promise about your role or pay was quietly broken

11. Skills Are Stale
    ↳The market is moving and your role isn't keeping up
    ↳Ex: You haven't learned a new tool or skill in over a year

12. Gut Says Go
    ↳You already know, you're just waiting for permission
    ↳Ex: You catch yourself checking job boards every day at lunch

Staying too long doesn't just cost you time.
It costs you growth.

I put so much effort into my work and I know it's good. Other people notice and comment on it, but I never seem to get anywhere because I'm not part of the favored group. I don't know why I keep trying so hard.

I used to be proud to tell people where I worked. It felt like a company that actually cared about its people. Now it's unrecognizable.

Is anyone else struggling every day not to just walk away?

I came across this site and want to share the situation in FIS.
Our office reports to managers in Bangaluru India.

The managers are very rude with our teams. They talk very loudly in the team meetings.
The FIS Managers lack basic management skills. They want us to call them sir and madam.
No one is willing to join FIS here in Philippines, though there are open positions. I have worked for 3-4 years and looking for job outside FIS.

Be truthful.

Before I quit two years ago, I remember it taking 15 minutes just to log in every morning. To say the place was a mess would be an understatement. Not to mention, the whole Genpact deal destroyed already low morale. I was so happy to leave it all behind. Have things improved at all since then?

My manager just notified me the pay raise this year. An awesome 15% hike.

Things changed fast. It's sad. Nothing more to add.

Clocking off at 3pm Fridays is a good thing for employees. The email says flexible working which implies that we are expected to have worked 40hrs by 3pm, which is fine, but it is not clear, especially as hourly staff get a paid day off in lieu.
If we are allowed to clock off at 3pm regardless, that’s a mess, if someone starts work at 8am and a colleague starts at 10am do they both still finish at 3, can we change the day if workloads prevent an early Friday finish?

I don't hate my life anymore!

I usually love this time of year, but I couldn't get into it this weekend. The constant stress of this job has just su-ked all the happiness out of me.

Is anyone else struggling to find any drive to keep going here?

I got out and my life changed overnight. You have no idea how much of your anxiety is caused by this place until you leave.

The worst decision of my career.

I look around and I see so many talented people putting up with so much nonsense. We all deserve so much better than what we're getting here and what we've been getting for years. It actually surprises me that more people haven't already decided to leave and find something better.

If you accepted the offer, why are you still nervous? This is an honest question. If I got it, I'd have accepted it and been relieved. I don't understand all the anxiety over a longer wait. Either you get approved, which is what you wanted, or you don't, and you stay in the same situation you're in now. What's the issue? What am I missing?

I can't shake this feeling of dread even though logically I know nothing major is happening this week. I guess Fiserv finally broke me.

A few days off used to be enough to reset, but now it's not even close. I don't think any amount of time away would make me actually want to come back here.

Hopefully we and our families can enjoy the day. Celebrate this wonderful country and our freedom! 🎇🎆
Our freedom to get another job, if we wish.
We really live in the best country.
Hope everyone has hope, GOD and family.
Take care!!
