Has anyone had someone on their team fired due to time theft? Like using bereavement after a year/ abusing volunteer time?

The demise of Xerox ethics
We are seeing the demise of Xerox ethics. Not internal ethics. Executive and Board leadership ethics. The Executive leadership remains accountable to the stockholders even if that means they receive false internal information reporting. They have yet to hold accountable the executive or next level leadership when they don’t deliver.
BS and CB you should be held accountable for your poor leadership and organization decisions; this means if you don’t deliver next quarter
What a ride - from great place to work to lord of flies!
I want to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for the culture at FactSet. Kissing a-s is the only way to get any meaningful traction.
Special dedication to the HRBP, L&D, Talent Delivery and Organisational Effectiveness leadership. Your inability to discern between noise and substance, between nuance and context is the reason for the unnecessary challenges we face in the business.
CFO, CPO - I hope you look at your stock awards and question your lack of judgment and willingness to take ethical stands that led to FactSet’s fall. No points for guessing how instrumental your contribution has been in deflating the firm’s value.
Special place in he-l for those gaslighting the outliers in the name of “culture”.
PNC ETHICS HOTLINE
What is the phone number for PNC ETHICS HOTLINE? I need it urgently. Thank you.

Layoff Issues
Clearly a lot of us are unhappy or concerned with the way BNY has conducted layoffs or forced departures. Several folks have already contacted and spoke with Financial Times/Ignites reporter Sabrina Kharrazi (Sabrina.Kharrazi@ft.com). Sabrina originally covered Larry Steller's lawsuit against BNY for the denial of his severance payments and is mentioned in the comments of the following posting on this site: 'https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kbk9pt5n'.
She would love to hear from you and anyone else who has information or documentation about BNY Mellon Performance Appraisal Management process or other ethical or legal concerns. Your interaction is completely confidential and anonymous.
Gainwell sc--wup kicks kids off healthcare
Take a look at this announcement from Georgia Health. What will it take for somebody to come down hard on this fraudulent operation?

Halftime Commercial
You have got to be kidding me SF. You walk out of California and then advertise in a California you walked out of. A halftime show that even in California the spectators looked at each other in dismay. Not the SF I once knew. A very woke, Anti America, and lost its way company. SF did not learn from Budweiser. Values create wealth. Wealth does not create values. In short, your marketing is equal to your ethics and values. In the toilet.
Ethics and Compliance training
Anybody else offended by the latest and greatest training. It’s kinda gross! I’m offended.
$1,090,000 of CENTENE CORPORATION lobbying disclosed from Q4 of 2025.
Do we think the government has “the people’s” interest in mind? On a side note, below is a partial list of politicians transactions of just Centene stock last year alone. Interesting how they all seem shocked at the actions of health insurance company’s yet they all have skin-in-the-game of this money generating racket.

Ethics and Compliance
Interesting that the entire Dell Ethics and Compliance page has been disabled. Also, the page for reporting ethics violations about people to a third party (“anonymously”) goes to a 404 Error page. I guess ethics don’t matter any more at Dell. No way to report ethics violations. Gotta protect those leaders!
Inogen is a Culture of Manipulation and Instability
Inogen is not a company that values its people or its integrity. The leadership (C-suite down to Sales Directors) fosters an environment where 'bad behavior' is rewarded and doing the right thing is penalized.
Management: The VP and Directors push the inside sales team to use manipulative tactics. If a rep tries to act ethically, they are told they are doing something wrong.
Instability: Constant layoffs and 'patchwork' solutions to deep-seated structural issues.
Ethics: There is a massive disconnect between the company’s stated values and its actual practices. It is a profit-at-all-costs environment where the C-suite is aware of the toxicity but refuses to fix it."
WHOSE WITH ME
heading to market basket than to get gas with out punching out , when i get back maybe play some solitaire on the company website , their go Onsemi go look at everyones company computer do a search lol. oh boy what u will find
The hidden costs of layoffs
It should be no surprise that layoffs ultimately cost a company more in the long run, but here's an interesting interview nonetheless. It's worth a listen, but the TLDR is that short term gains are obvious, but longer term, it usually results in underperformance relative to companies who don't do that.
https://hbr.org/podcast/2023/12/the-hidden-costs-of-layoffs
Now, that's just layoffs, so imagine what happens when you aren't just laying off, but also using dubious tactics to stack rank, fabricate performance reviews, and look for ways to fire people for cause as a way to avoid severance costs?
This is why I am not long in WFC and I watch it every month or so for opportunities to short.
ZG joining DE at Alvarez
OMG! Another one of our former ELT is joining A&M. The same BT firm we wasted millions of $$$ on. There must a a conflict of interest or under the table deal. Pay the millions, when BT doesn’t work and you jump ship, just join them.
Ethics should investigate! Oh wait…that would be a waste of time.
AI push makes me want to scream
The harm it will cause to both clients and us will be incalculable. I won't even mention the craziness of the AI business model or the broader impact on people and the environment. Since it's already being forced upon us, it should be regulated into oblivion.

Any repercussions for Festog and Greed
Festog and Greed are primarily to blame for the destruction of the company, that’s not in dispute. Have there been any consequences to them? They both walked away with generational wealth, but have either been held to account? Major lawsuits? Financial claims against them? These two vicious, evil sc-mbags need to pay, but it looks like they’re gonna walk scott free. What can be done?
Human Resources
Yes — that’s a strong, constructive addition. Here’s a refined version that incorporates true partnership while staying concise, professional, and safely anonymous:
⸻
The most effective HR professionals retain humility and humanity. They remain genuinely curious about people while responsibly balancing associate needs with business priorities.
They recognize that perceived respect often stems from the power of the role—not individual superiority—and they do not treat access to privileged information as status. They engage others as true partners, fostering collaboration rather than control, which makes the work more engaging and effective.
They exercise independent judgment, avoid unquestioning alignment with leadership, and actively check personal bias. This balance is what builds trust, credibility, and long-term organizational health.
Is CISO Rich Baich adhering to AT&T's ethical standards or acting in his own self interest?
Did Rich Baich engage in conduct that may constitute a conflict of interest? Rich Baich serves as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Senior Vice President at AT&T. Rich's daughter, for reference, serves as Director of Product Management at SimSpace, a cybersecurity training platform.
- In November 2024, Rich Baich hosted SimSpace’s Cyber Cup competition at AT&T's HQ, in which AT&T placed first in the Cyber Cup Defensive Challenge.
Rich and his daughter presented together at RSAC 2025 in a session titled “Nurturing the Next Generation of Cyber Defenders” on April 28, 2025. https://www.rsaconference.com/experts/rich-baich

Do these activities represent a potential conflict of interest, abuse of position or authority, lack of objectivity, breach of fiduciary duty, or violation of corporate ethics policies?

Falsified PhD
I suspect a co-worker to have a false PhD, and I have considered reaching out to the legitimate university to see if they have a record of this individual’s degree. I’m not going to confront this individual about it, but if I bring this to HR’s attention with or without solid evidence, could I be fired?
SF Reputation and RICO
When SF settled the RICO case for 250 Million it spoke volumes about the company reputation. To say it was settled as a business decision which IMO an admission of liability. This damaged the company and it continues to spiral downward by cutting benefits, laying workers off, and continuing to slash workers who believe and work hard to fulfill the mission and vision of the company. The company advertising deals with everything but the product itself. The customer is wise to its diversion tactics. On a local level, the company's reputation has tanked even within law enforcement. What was once the leader in all respects of ethics and business has literally been flushed down the toilet for money.
CDO axed!
Ironically the ex head of data for conduct and compliance seems to have been suddenly axed due to conduct issues. This is the toxic org culture that is brewing in sc.
Mo is no mo at sc.
Having enjoyed a stellar run up the ranks from analyst to cdo of the bank in under a decade (primarily due to talking his way through rather than true delivery/merit), seems like he ran himself past his boots here.
Workforce Decisions: Layoffs of U.S. Employees Followed by H-1B Hiring
Among the layoffs in early or late 2025 were many U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Soon after, companies hired H-1B workers for nearly identical roles.
In many cases, the difference between positions — such as Business Analyst, Product Owner, and Scrum Master — is minimal. A one-week to one month transition training could have allowed the laid-off employees to continue contributing instead of being replaced.
This raises a serious ethical concern:
Why are U.S. citizens and permanent residents being let go first, while similar roles are refilled immediately mostly with H1Bs? This is for both FT and Contractors.
This is not just restructuring — it is a question of fairness, responsibility, and ethics.
Project: Resume RevampAdvice for job hunting in the AI world.
I learned from a recruiter yesterday that when you submit an application to a job board etc., do not put work history on your resume over / past 20 years. Apparently, the AI screening tools will automatically reject the resume if "they" see anything older than 20 years. Good luck out there!
I will have to re-do my resume!
Remember
People who are:
Conscientious
Educated
Loyal
Ethical
…often suffer more in systems that quietly reward politics.
You didn’t fail the system. The system failed you.
That realization is painful — but also freeing.
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are transitioning out of a place that could not hold you with integrity.
Onward and Upward!
Fannie Mae VP Cited in DOJ Complaint Related to Citibank Mortgage Settlement
So, in 2012, Citibank paid $158.3 million to settle federal allegations tied to defective FHA loans. In the DOJ’s complaint is a line that still matters. In 2010, Ross Leckie, then a senior leader at CitiMortgage, told staff to “drive this rate down by brute force” to meet a 5% defect target, even as quality-control teams flagged serious loan problems. The goal wasn’t fixing defects. It was fixing the number. That email is quoted in a federal complaint.
Today, the same individual is a Vice President at Fannie Mae. This isn’t about criminal charges. It’s about leadership judgment, tone, and culture.
“Drive it down by brute force” isn’t just a bad line. It reflects a culture where optics beat substance and targets beat controls. That culture is exactly what regulators, taxpayers, and markets expect GSEs to leave behind. It also raises an unavoidable question:
If defect rates were something to be pushed down rather than examined, what else could be getting massaged, minimized, or buried?
This is how systemic failures form. Not from one bad loan, but from leadership that treats controls as obstacles instead of safeguards.
FHFA talks about fraud prevention and data integrity. Culture change gets mentioned a lot too. But culture doesn’t change through training decks or rewritten policies. It changes when leadership changes. Leadership overhaul isn’t about punishment. It’s about credibility. It’s about signaling that the old way of protecting metrics, protecting reputations, and protecting insiders is over.
Because until leadership changes, the culture won’t. And until the culture changes, the same question will linger:
If they were willing to “drive it down by brute force” then, what are they driving down now?
If the culture is broken, the fix starts at the top. Paper trails don’t disappear.
And neither do patterns.
Bad-faith performance management needs to be called out — and stopped.
In my experience, what’s happening is not genuine coaching or development. It feels like a system designed to manage people out rather than set them up to succeed. When expectations are unclear, goals change without notice, and performance plans are inconsistently documented or applied, that is not transparency — it’s avoidance.
These practices are widely recognized and discussed in employment and legal spaces as:
Bad-faith performance management
Retaliatory or discriminatory coaching
Corporate managed attrition
They exist, and pretending otherwise doesn’t make them ethical.
What’s most troubling is that leadership is aware. Employee surveys, engagement feedback, and exit data consistently highlight the same concerns. When the data “says it all,” the real question becomes: at what point does leadership get held to the same standard they enforce on everyone else?
People should not be forced to choose between their livelihood and their dignity.
So here’s my message to anyone experiencing this:
Stop internalizing it
Start documenting everything
Save emails, feedback, shifting goals, and timelines
Ask for expectations in writing
Ask for documentation — especially when none is provided
Accountability doesn’t come from silence. It comes from patterns, paper trails, and people refusing to carry systems that don’t operate in good faith.
This isn’t about attacking individuals. It’s about naming a process that causes harm and demanding better from those who design, approve, and benefit from it.
Leadership accountability is not optional — it’s overdue. We don’t just work for them they work for us too.
BNY Ethics Hotline
Never knew this existed. I think it’s a great way to let them know about their layoff practices.

Hey DP,
You know we believe your teams in India are doing the same.
Do our customers know this?
Better clean this up.
Keep on sending those jobs to your friends.
This is what happens.
Anyone actually call ethics hotline before ?
Have a situation and have not had annual review yet, but pointed out unethical, immoral and possible illegal acts of our executive to my manager and their one up manager late in year.... sent via email and of course nothing was responded to in writing but called me back via teams and was told to never send something like that via email again..
I think I might be rewarded with inconsistantly meets or do not meets because of these actions...
Anyone have any experience reporting something like this?
USAA Members receive $3.7 billion in financial rewards in 2025 - Big Fat Lie
What a bunch of lies! Facts below:
The $3.7B number includes $450 million in zero-interest loans as part of government shutdown program. That is a loan, members are expected to pay it back, you cannot include the full amount, the most you can include is the interest cost that has been waived.
Honor through Action $500 million over 5 years. You cannot include the full amount that you “plan” to deliver in next 5 years. Just include the amount that has been contributed this year.
These two are obvious lies from the report on our website, I’m sure there is more fluff that is included in that number. I bet the real number is much smaller.
Good thing we are not a public company so no one to keep us honest!

Did VZ leadership and the board short the VZ stock?
They had to know the stock price would go down. Cutting the workforce does nothing to improve customer service and will make it harder to address customer issues. Cutting the design team by 40% does nothing to improve the network and network performance will degrade over time. What is the actual plan, Dan? Line your pockets and split?
New Code of Ethics = curious timing
Did you know:
NYSE-listed companies must adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics applicable to all directors, officers, and employees, per SEC-approved rules. These rules cover conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, insider trading, and reporting of illegal behavior, and must be posted on the company's website.
Interesting that Jones just rolled this out when this is a requirement for publicly traded companies listed on the NYSE. But we're not for sale, right? I'm sure the timing of the rollout is just a coincidence.
leader of BNY ethics?
Where do ethical concerns at this firm end up in leadership - seeking a name that isnt RV. There are insidious tactics being applied to domestic employees at this time which will have prolific downstream consequences. There is proof abound certain execs are complicit with fake performance reviews under a visa and 3rd party displacement model.
Please write your government representatives if you see it too, or have worked with McKinsey on these models in the past.

Absolutely horrible response by this company towards law enforcement and the victims property considering this happened at one of their stores on Christmas.
Is there an hr for speak up?
If you go to speak up for ethical misconduct by a cabal of leadership reinforced by HR and Speak Up covers is up, what is the next move? Email Farley’s CDSID? Looking for answers. Every time we have holidays I seem to get punished for enjoying time off so I know the worst is yet to come.
