#employeesatisfaction

I keep asking myself if I actually like this job anymore. The answer keeps changing and not in a good direction. The work itself is fine, but everything around it is draining. I can't remember the last time I felt excited to start the day.

What do I do

I received my smallest raise ever this year (aside from zero during Covid). I had a good rating this year as well. Is this normal or does my boss hate me?

Was there for quite a while paid upwards of $1300 a month for many many years.

Deductibles were high, even on the plan where they deductible was the least amount.

Prescriptions were expensive, even with that insurance.

Post Baker Hughes I’m coming to realize that their insurance was not all that great..

Now at a different employer with their insurance, it’s 1/3 cheaper per month deductibles are very, very low and prescription medicine is cheaper.

We have been "cost saving" for the last 5 years and we are STILL CUTTING. I chose to control my future rather than wait - this year or next - to be RIFd. This company does not care if you are an amazing employee - we are just numbers always take the money

What’s happening with UHC Texas C&S, specifically service coordinators? They aren’t laying off, but they are shrinking numbers drastically through natural attrition. After 1% across the board raises for even 4s and 5s, they immediately quit backfilling spots when people leave, resulting in low pay increases coupled with high increases in workload. Our caseloads have increased drastically and we are nowfalling behind and not meeting members needs the way we should be. Everyone is discouraged and most people are looking at leaving soon. It takes months to onboard and train new SCs to the point they can take on a full caseload, but they still haven’t hiring. It’s the members that suffer the most. Turnover has been accelerating since everyone is overworked and underpaid and many people have left. In my service area we’ve probably lost a quarter to a third of our nurses this year. At the same time we are getting emails saying the company is doing well….

That must be someone fckng joking, right?? Folks in these locations are reportedly super happy, aren't they: Canada, Costa Rica, Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Poland and the United States. That is so sick given the existing real experience, suppressed by fear in the surveys though.

Mike Gianoni said. "As we have in the past, we will support impacted team members, we'll provide an enhanced severance program and career transition assistance". Nothing there is true. You get 2.5 days per year instead of the standard 1 week or 2 weeks per year. No career transition assistance at all. You get a 1 time 1-1 help building a resume. Got two months after 20 years.

Just wanted to get a pulse on how folks are doing lately. Morale seems pretty mixed across teams.

With the direction the company’s been going and the culture shifts over the past couple years, how long do you realistically see yourselves staying at U.S. Bank? And for those who are actively thinking about an exit, what’s your criteria for a role that feels worth making the jump?

It feels like a lot of people are frustrated but also sticking around because finding something with comparable pay/benefits isn’t easy. Curious how others are navigating that balance and what your thought process looks like.

Those with a 4 performance rating. What what was your increase? I'll go first. 2%
This can't possibly be normal.

Yes, I am actively job hunting.

I'm not staying just for a paycheck anymore. I want self-worth, a non-toxic environment, and a salary plus benefits that reflect what I'm worth.

Yes easy questions; what actually been improved as the PA system su-ks, D&S staffing model is confusing as he-l, benefits have only gone one way, morale likewise…I am seriously struggling what has improved….

When I got the notice, I thought my career was over. Instead, it was the push I needed. I found a role with actual work-life balance, a team that respects me, and no daily dread. And I'm not alone, I keep a running list of ex-colleagues who've moved on and thrived. Not one of them regrets being let go. It's a strange comfort knowing that getting cut might be the best thing that ever happens to me.

CDW used to be an A+ company. It valued its people and understood that its success came from experienced employess w/strong ties to customers... Now, the focus has shifted from people to $$$s. Employees feel replaceable, like #s, no longer valued. Old culture made us great but now is gone. If you've been around long enough you understand what I am saying.

I got 38 cents is that normal for raises I feel like we should get more specially to adjust to the cost of living 38 cents does not cover the cost of live g at all.

What was your RSU refresh after your Year End Conversations?

Please include your level and performance rating.

There has a been a interesting string of posts here about how morale is improving at Uniti. If that is true how do you explain the falling employee ratings on glassdoor? It has shrank over the last year to 3.0 out of 5. That's the lowest of any major player in the industry. Only 39% of employees say they would recommend a job there to a friend. That does not sound like a company on the rise.

Serious question because I’ve been on STD for a while and haven’t been updated on this. I’ve read so much on this forum and feel like I need to know what I’m going back to since no one on my team has reached out. I did get the first email about being eligible for the VSP but haven’t gotten any other communication for anything else.

Treating people well isn't complicated. When you respect employees, they stay and contribute. Mistreat people and it brings everyone and everything down, including productivity. Why can't leadership figure this out?

If you care about your mental health, stay far away. They'll tell you they care about employees, but it's all talk. You're just a number to them and they treat you as such.

The comments are very pukey too.

"TIME's America's best companies list which recognizes organizations that stand out for employee satisfaction, financial performance, and sustainability transparency."

What a joke. Employees are not satisfied. Financial performance is terrible. Must be a pretty low bar to make the list.

That means we’re all getting fat raises next year because we’ve done a great job. Right? Right…

How long will leaders realize they cannot keeping pushing the terrible GES scores under the rug? Why is HR keeping them so close?

Another shared energy town hall is coming up. Will they remotely mention the employee survey and how miserable everyone is right now?

I've been thinking lately about how I feel about the possibility of layoffs, and I realized something that surprised me. I'm not scared anymore. In fact, part of me is actually kind of hoping it happens. I genuinely like what I do, but Honeywell has gone out of its way to make everything harder, more complicated, and less satisfying. If getting laid off is what it takes to get out of here, I think I'd actually feel relieved. What does that say about a place that some of its employees feel that way?

There’s no better way to celebrate independence than at Verizon, a great American country that has granted independence to thousands of employees! From our former CEO, former President of Consumer Group, former CHRO, former Chief Communications officer, former President of GN&T, 2 former Presidents of VGS, 5k VSP takers, and 13k and counting riffed Vteamers - there’s no shortage of independence from Verizon to celebrate. We are a winning team, and I’m honored to follow such great leadership that powers and empowers the way we work, live and play as we play to win. Simple matters! Better matters! And we are truly the best. The results speak for themselves. Verizon is the very best of America. Proud to be VZ!

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

Hearing talk of 2 rounds in July. One this Thursday and one on the 16th. Hearing 8-12k employees being let go. All teams but retail is going to get the worst of it.

How much did folks get ? Band, %?

I am in the higher ed dep, so we usually get "significant impact" merit increase equating to 3.25% of salary regardless of performance. Has this percentage changed for this year? I guess we will find out from our next paycheck.

Do you think there is any value in Pulse Survey?

Nothing seems to change.

Things are even getting worse the more we complain.

CDW isn't what it used to be. Worse culture, worse pay, with constant cuts on top of it. So why do you stay? For me, it's health insurance. That's the only reason.

Centene are you freaking serious???? Sending out surveys asking for our opinions right now??? You don’t care about us and leaving us in limbo for weeks not knowing what to do or expect and you send out a satisfaction survey. Please save your time and maybe update your staff on the VSP and if what you expected to take it has vs has not so maybe we will have a better idea of what to do. Shove your stupid survey up your butt.

I read this forum and it seems like everyone hates this place. But I don't. I'm not thrilled with the uncertainty, but I genuinely enjoy the work. I hope I can keep doing it. Is there anyone else out there who feels the same?

They are a failing company thanks to their own doing. Offshoring to India is going to run it into the ground even more. All they care about is the money they line their pockets with. There has been a steady and steep decline to every company that GP touches- in all realms. Profitability, benefits, work life balance, employee retention and satisfaction, etc.

Why wouldn’t gp cut McKinsey loose at this point? It’s known that consultants throw spaghetti at the wall and hope something sticks. But thus far, nothing has even marginally improved by retaining them.

I certainly hope gp is shopping around their vertical markets to sell to keep gp afloat. I do not foresee gp being around for much longer at the rate things are going

Well said, @bm+1kt6r66mv.

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).

Up vote for yes / down for No

We had stale cookies one day and another day popcorn. Another office in my area had half a sandwich per person. Why even bother it feels like an insult honestly….
