#employeehappiness

The job is so stressful, the pressure so relentless, that I can never unplug. Workdays are write-offs. I just exist until the weekend, hoping to finally decompress. And it never happens. Seriously, how is everyone else coping with this?

Not until I walk out for good. But I still do my work, still do it right. I just stopped playing the games. No more kissing up, no more pretending to love meetings, no more acting like I care about things I don't. I do my job and go home. That's enough.

Love this company , and my CEO ! Tiaa is a great company that does wonderful things for its participants , we are lucky to have a thoughtful ceo and leadership team . And all of my fellow colleagues are gems .

Told me I could take the day off
:)

EH YOU ARE KI-LING US WITH DRIVING TO THE OFFICE FOR CR-PPY FOOD AND ANNOYING &LOSER LEADERS. WANT TO BOOST ENERGY, LET US WFH UNTIL GAS IS UNDER $3

I see posts from people here that say they left Nielsen and they are happier and/or they earn more money at their new jobs. Some of you even say that you've "found freedom". For those of us that are looking for work it would be really helpful if you could let us know what job you were doing with Nielsen and where you went? Let us know if any of your Nielsen skills transferred over that your new employer may have been interested in.

I despise coming in 4 days a week. I get to wake up 1.5 hours early and drive for an hour, for what? I get to fake social interaction with distant department members who don't want to be here just like me. I get to spend $20 on parking. I get to spend immeasurable amounts of money maintaining a sh---y professional wardrobe that doesn't get used outside of work.
What benefit does anyone gain from this besides BNY having an excuse to lay some people off?

Before the shill bots come out of the woodwork, prior to COVID, my team was 2 days a week. There's no RTO, it's just increased. I'm not returning to anything.

3 days a week wasn't bad, I'd at least have Friday at home to look forward to, but now to get that I have to ruin my evening on Sunday by dreading going in on Monday. My life has been remarkably more miserable since 4 days started.

WFA days would be a brief reprieve when it got particularly bad on occasion, but they ruined those too.

I don't really know the purpose of this post besides to vent.

150 Years of History, 0 Years of Perspective

I’ve been trying to process the absolute disconnect of AT&T’s "celebration," but the more I think about it, the more insulted I feel.

Today, leadership stood up and proudly touted a $250 billion infrastructure investment. A quarter of a trillion dollars. It’s a staggering number meant to impress shareholders and the media. But for the people actually building, selling, and supporting that infrastructure? We got a sticker and a stale cookie.

The "Grand" Celebration Breakdown:

The Investment: $250,000,000,000 for the network.

The Employee Reward: A single cookie and a sticker (and only if you were lucky enough to be at a "core" location).

The Message: If you aren't a piece of hardware or a fiber line, you aren't worth the investment.

It is genuinely embarrassing to work for a company that talks a big game about "culture" and "people-first values" while treating a once-in-a-century milestone like an afterthought. 150 years is a massive achievement, yet there wasn't even an attempt at a commemorative item or a gesture that felt permanent. A cookie is gone in thirty seconds; a sticker belongs in a middle school classroom.

The Downhill Slide

We’ve watched the employee experience erode year after year. Milestone anniversaries: once a point of pride in this company, have been gutted. To see them brag about billions in spending while failing to provide even a basic token of appreciation to the global workforce is the ultimate "read the room" failure.

We aren't asking for a slice of the $250 billion. We’re asking for respect. We’re asking for a culture that actually acknowledges the human effort behind the numbers. Instead, we got a sugar crash and a piece of adhesive paper.

AT&T isn't a "family" or a "culture" at this point, it’s just a giant machine that forgot it’s powered by people.

Is everyone store high stress, bad vibes, toxic energy?

Hey Mike…. With regular gas prices over $4 a gallon, how about some relief? Maybe a cost of living raise or the ability to work from home until things normalize again, at least hybrid

This whole place is embarrassing to be part of. Top to bottom.

Please tell me why she’s sticking it to us even more with this ecard? It’s employee unappreciation day here. We all feel stressed, abused and unappreciated. Thanks, Gunjan for nothing and for no merit increase. Ugh!

Actions speak louder than words....save the umpteen emails.

every day since leaving Optum, I count my blessings... what you're going through sounds truly exhausting, and none of you should have to put up with it... Wishing you all a way out sooner rather than later.godspeed

There is no longer incentive to overachieve.
All loyalty is gone.
take care of yourself.

Remember when we had good pay, solid benefits, and you could move up without nepotism or a-s-kissing? When having Nike on your resume was an asset? Can we go back to those times? I miss liking my job. I truly do.

Does anybody know when world appreciation week is being celebrated at Wells Fargo this year for the retail banks? Let me know so I can order my diabetes medication in advance. Cc Colleen

Besides me, who else's TI dreams have been absolutely and convincingly shattered?
😭🥺😬😫😵‍💫🥴🤥

I hate this company. Micro managing is becoming intolerable

Luckily I have 3 years savings so can walk out and likely will

Dan said layoffs will not be incremental meaning the 20% reduction was a one time only. This is a black swan event that doesn’t occur frequently. Just relax most of you will be fine!!!

If you are working at Fiserv and you’re not actively planning your next move, now is the time to start. The reality is that many employees will not be able to retire from this company on their own terms in the next 12 months. The organization has signaled—directly and indirectly—that long‑term employee value is no longer a priority. In some cases, instead of offering severance, roles are being shifted to temporary agencies, which raises serious questions about stability and future prospects.

You have to focus on what benefits you. The era of staying with a single employer for 25 or 30 years and retiring comfortably is over. The job market is evolving quickly, and it’s essential to reposition yourself and begin developing an exit strategy that aligns with your goals, your skills, and your financial needs.

Do not hold on to a role that is losing relevance or a company that is no longer investing in its people. Prioritize protecting your future, expanding your options, and preparing for the next chapter—whatever that may look like for you.

We're stretched thin, underpaid, and drowning in work, but they keep organizing these mandatory happy events. Last month our manager brought snacks while pretending our 60-hour weeks don't exist. Is this just us? If not, does anyone actually feel better after these things? What would real acknowledgment even look like?

This place is so toxic you cant stand signing on. Nobody should dread sunday nights or any night going to work. This place seriously needs to be called out to the public for what it really is. Instead of the lies put out there in linkdin and everywhere else presenting themselves as some great leader of the financial world. Sc-mbags have ruined everything and everyones moral here since robin fu-k face came along

I didn’t realize how sick Wells Fargo made me until I left last May. I’d gained weight, couldn’t sleep, and lived with constant anxiety. It took at least six months before my body started feeling like it belonged to me again. Sadly, the mental part takes even longer. I’m still recovering.

Part of it was dealing with a horrible bully of a manager for so long, but the overall culture played a role too. I genuinely hope more people decide to leave. It can be life changing.

The performative posts from people who still have jobs are getting exhausting. All that humble bragging and inspirational garbage while so many of us are struggling to find work. It feels like a highlight reel from people who either got lucky or won't admit how bad things really are. Hard to scroll through it without rolling my eyes these days.

I’ve never felt this way and I’ve been here a while but I’m feeling so defeated here. The environment is cold, uninviting almost morgue like. We no longer have our own “place”. That has been taken away. We’re expected to be okay with all the changes they have made that benefit them but not us. We’re expected to align and become these cold blooded creatures that are okay being mistreated. I can’t do that. I’m a human being, we all are. We have emotions and we want to feel appreciated. I miss the old U.S. Bank.

How many of you are able to relate to this from a now former XX

Officially reached my breaking point after my performance review.

Context: S&T L10, 4/5 on my performance review, and only a 0.6% raise but “the company is so excited for my growth this year!!!”

I know the situation here and have treated it as a transactional relationship. But for me to bust my a$$, deliver above my expectations, and get a fraction of a percent raise?

They’ve officially lost me, quiet quitting begins now. This company and its “leaders”
incompetence combined with Indian nepotism culture has ruined the employee experience.

I feel disrespected beyond belief, fu-k this place

Looks like last year was a very good year. Bonus should be good this year, cannot wait. RTO is working. Thank you all for doing the needful.

I go above and beyond I’ve always gotten exceptional but not today. Today I got a 3 and 90 percent. I am in dis belief I’m hurt this really is hard constantly overlooked and underpaid.

There is no further talk of layoffs in the coffee corners.

Are we safe now? I hope so!

It’s real and hurting…..

s it normal to feel overwhelmed at Verizon?. Or is just because we are heritage tracfone and the are doing it on purpose for us to quit?

Plus the new office will make worst commute due the traffic in Miami next to the airport.

Is it just me or the New Jersey ppl don’t feel this overwhelmed with the amount of Requests while you doing your daily job?

Fvck this company, milk it as much as you can. Do the bare minimum you’ll still get 1% merit increase and they’ll tell you that your blessed you did …

2026 Goals:
Don’t go above and beyond
Play the game
Milk the system
Act like you don’t know
Low scores on the annual survey
Use your PTO as much as you can

An uneasy calm is there

I see some positivity about Humana and it throws me off because my experience has been rough. For those who like it here, what makes it work for you? Is it your specific role, your team, or something else? Trying to understand if I should stick it out or just move on.

For years...

No Raises.
No Promotions.
Increased health costs.
No recognition.

They could afford to take care of their people better!
