#employeehappiness

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!!

Make it work folks, this is our rare chance to let go of this wretched place and relax and enjoy with our family. Tomorrow, it's back to worrying about our jobs.

The layoffs are over, done and dusted

We can now look forward to OKC

The time is almost near🥺
Not long ago I was reminding myself how blessed I am. And how I hope to get to retire from Centene. I never thought it would be this soon though. Alot of years with a lot of good memories that I will always cherish. We had soooo much fun in the Tyler office.
I had A LOT of great team leaders and supervisors (except for one that was absolutely heartless but she didn't last long thankfully!) Alot of good people I have met along the way that I now can call my very good friends. My bestie L.A.! I want you all to know that you hold a very special place in my heart and I will never forget you. I'm really sad though. This has indeed been an emotional rollercoaster.
Alot of mixed emotions tonight as we all try to get some sleep. Just know that you are not alone, I don't know everyone but 60k is alot of people. We are like a family and maybe somehow someway we can keep in touch.
Thanks Centene for the growth and knowledge that I have received. The fun times, the laughs and the smiles. Those that have passed away who I will never forget may you RIP 😢
I want to say a special thank you to S.B. the hiring manager who hired me. You are very special to me and our HR manager+++
I always tell my kids, sometimes things have to happen, to make greater things happen.
May peace be with you all!🙏
Peace out ✌️

I can’t believe it’s really over. I would gladly work In the office full time again if it meant I could keep my job. AT&T was such a big part of my life. I feel so lost.

You would have to be very limited in job experience to think Dst was a good employer. I hear people reminisce about the good old days. They are wrong. Security guards walked hundreds of staff out the door and fired them as staff showed up for work in the morning

There's something I've noticed: a meeting starts, someone kicks it off with the generic "How's it going?", and the response is a crestfallen look, a deep breath, and "it's fine."

Nobody is okay anymore. Nobody is happy. Nobody is getting anything done.

We have no leadership, no support, and no idea where to go from here.

We can't go on like this.

Take it from somebody who was laid off last year. Looking at where the company is now, I can safely said that being cut helped me dodge a bullet. I'm honestly relieved to be out of there. Severance was more than enough to get me to my next job (took me close to three months to find one). My new job pays a little less, but it has better bennies and much better job security. I'm genuinely happy now. I know everybody is nervous with the wait, but just take this into consideration.

it’s 2am on the east coast. I’m wide awake knowing 8am will be here before I know it.

I’m dreading another week of “hey! how are you?” “I’m good! how are you?” “let me share my screeeeeeeeen.” can we just not.

I don’t want to talk to anyone and it’s not personal. I’m too much in my own head to even think about anything outside of “okay, what do I do now?” I don’t want to discuss projects, strategy or give my thoughts… NOTHING. let’s regroup mid-August.

I feel like those of us who remain should be given extra sick days ‘cause I truly am sick of this nonsense and we know it will get worse.

I hope everyone has a good week. at least it’s a short one.

Nintendo announced a 10% increase in employee base salaries. Company President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed this decision. The move aims to maintain competitive working conditions. It also seeks to retain valuable specialists within the company. This strategy contrasts with widespread layoffs across the gaming industry.

Walking around the place with so much positivity and high hopes. None of them have any clue that the rest of us are bitter, angry and mostly dead inside because this company su-ks.

I guess my night time gummies are day time gummies now.

Whenever we get a few weeks of peace, I still can't breathe properly. The anxiety is constant these days since I know what's coming eventually. This is not a healthy way to live.

But think about it for a moment. Are you really happy at Optum? Has this been a good place to work anytime recently? And be honest with yourself. Being laid off might be the best thing that could happen. It's an opportunity to get out. A clean break from a bad situation.

I need to leave, and I need to leave now. I can't do this anymore. Every day I have to listen to people who don't know my job tell me how to do it and give me terrible advice while they're at it. They make me to do things wrong despite my protests and when it fails, I'm the one who takes the blame. I'm so done with this sh-t.

I've never seen anything like it. The leadership is full of people who have no business being in their roles. They've been promoted beyond their ability and they're just making it up as they go. They've created a culture where people just follow along to protect their paychecks. Anyone with real pride in their work would be miserable here. The only reason I'm still here is they pay me well enough to just go through the motions.

Coming to Centene was the worst decision I've ever made. I was thrilled when they offered me the position. Now I wish I'd never taken it.

I interned at Centene last summer into the fall which was my last semester of university. Feels like the entire world is unstable. I don't qualify for the VSP, but feeling so so anxious and depressed about the layoffs coming in August. I just started my career. However, I've been working to the bone for this company so far (I work in IT). I know most of you guys on this website are older and have much greater responsibilities (kids, mortgage, etc), but I can't help but feel like things are doomed.

We all know more cuts are coming. But I'm looking at other companies and they're all in the same shape. I'd leave if I could find somewhere better, but I can't. And the stress of all this is really taking a toll on me physically. I honest to goodness don't know what to do.

I'm honestly curious what better company you think exists where you'd have job security and leadership that "loves" employees. Please, share with the class.

I stopped working overtime, stressing about deadlines, and caring about making my boss happy. And guess what? Nothing bad happened and I'm actually doing fine. I'm doing better than I have in long time, in fact.

I still haven’t been assigned the "Advisor" role but maybe EM HR could take a break from whatever it is they think they’re doing and actually focus on the mountain of harassment, as--ult, and misconduct complaints piling up every single day. Or, bare minimum, learn how to handle onboarding/offboarding without turning it into a circus. It’s honestly embarrassing at this point.
Meanwhile, you all seem to have endless time to post and comment nonsense on this site. As if paying your little pets to flood Glassdoor and Indeed with glowing fairy tales wasn’t enough, now you’re suddenly uncomfortable when people start revealing the dark truth and exposing dangerous individuals (initials, names… the whole thing).

So so happy that the shift bid for the valued tenured employees was canceled in our dept. Management saw the value in us, when we expressed our opinions on the proposed shift bid. Lost many a nights sleep over the past 2 weeks, Wayfairs management actually does care and I really love the direction they took, its only fair that the people working on the affected day work the Saturday shift. Makes me so happy to work for Wayfair and the dept that I am in.

… that’s all.

When will ELT and Sr Leaders slow down the type and quantity of change they are shoving down our throats?! I understand that change is required in any organization, but for fcks sake give us a change to digest these changes and understand them before you dump more on us!

Change fatigue is real, and is the main reason I want to leave but probably won't because of the amount of $$ I have wrapped up in my LP. Plus, I don't want the tax hit from having to sell it if I leave and work for a competing firm.

But seriously... just fckng leave us alone for a hot minute.

I have spent the last decade and a half working forty plus hours a week and I have nothing left to give. My health, my hobbies, my relationships, they have all taken a backseat to just surviving work. And I have several decades of this left. Is life really supposed to be like this?
