KRK folks - what's your opinion about yesterday's email regarding changes to WFH allowance? I'm pi---d off

Looking for honest feedback.

The he-l is he talking about hitting level 11 and treating this like a game.

Beyond tone deaf.

I guess it's the time where we are going to be bombarded about the survey for the MSU meeting we all had... Love how they tell you that you have until 1/30...Says they won't collect your details like name and email but we know that's not true..

Now if you volunteer, they’ll donate. “It was the right thing at the time to have that” speaking about Vol for Vaca.

Is this really necessary? What will it achieve, other than pi----g many of us off?

Thought this was only for project managers?

So we here in the colonies have lost pretty much our entire schools publishing and content team. The rationale is that global content can be mediated to local curriculum requirements. This is patently untrue. The ANZ market for secondary school material is seriously insular, and anything that is not created by local writers will be looked on as second rate nonsense. They are moving us to the Pearson model, which as anyone who knows our market will attest is doomed to failure.
The best bit of this though is the fact that we only found out about this via a: people who had already been dumped but still had relationships with those canned and b: the actual email that went out was addressed only to the team who were mostly already being canned. There has been no messaging to the rest of the ANZ team despite us working closely with most of those involved over many years.
Gold standard in intercompany comms.

I’m writing to share some feedback regarding the TruPortfolio Solutions rebrand. I recently attended an event where members of the sales team expressed concerns that the new art style feels disconnected from our established financial identity. Are we seeing any data or customer sentiment reports that suggest the new look isn't hitting the mark?

I have been working at The Bank for over a year now so this is my first time being eligible for a raise. I started in August 2024. Did anybody else not get a raise? I’m trying to understand if it’s just me or is it something that is quite common at The Bank. I’ve never not received a raise at my previous companies. Your input will help. I receive a meets/meets on my annual review

Sending an employee survey the day after massive layoffs is so tone deaf and par for this company. No point in even filling them out as it’s obvious senior leaders don’t care.

Excellent corporate strategy playing out in the Marketplace division.

Thoughts?

why do we keep filling out pulse surveys to never see the results? why bother with the charade?

Been with the company 10 years and received exceeded a majority of the time (8/10 reviews). To my absolute shock I have received a partially achieved. It looks like bonus payout is anticipated to be around 100% per today’s email - what can I expect for partially achieved? 50%? Lower? Thank you.

So far, who’s buying this BS ???

Same old CSA marketing vomit being upchucked. Camera & copier story but your here to support other groups ? Thanks for another original idea Marketing. It’s amazing how you all can continue to get promoted and paid more for the same old stuff.

Has anyone completed a dispute with their rating or does it matter if they've picked you to be next for the cut? Similar situation as others here with great ratings all previous years, even midyear, with no negative feedback until the year end review. Feedback is vague and actually contains false information.

Basically title. Hired mid 2025 and had my review with me receiving an IM. All commentary in the review did not support an IM but here we are.

Anyways, there are two people who report to my bosses boss and they definitely received an “exceeds” on their review.

Do both these things add up to me getting an IM? Should I be worried for mid year or is this standard WF practice?

Shouldn't this cr-p be called Optimum Communications Inc now?

If Dan's plan is for AI to take over, I hope it is nothing compared to the current use of AI. Every time I call or chat I have to go through AI. By the time I get to a human, I am pi---d off because the way they have AI set up is garbage, useless and a waste of time. Why do we purposely put barriers in place to get something resolved? No wonder customers are upset.

So as we know Irish office closed.
Did it affect your day to day in any way (positively or negatively)?

Big wave coming after annual review, no matter what’s your rating or where you are

Was told it would open yesterday (which was questionable since it was a holiday), wasn’t there. Checked again today and still not there.

Just a terrible way this company is handling everything.

So there is no update on comp.

Now we have LED lighting going in. It's way too bright. Bring a ball cap.

Who the he|| designed a new support page?!

Unreadable.
Data needed hidden.
Favourites lost.
Productivity decreased

Based on Jane’s recent announcement that the bar will be raised and “we will not be graded on effort”, will Citi be taking a Goldman approaching and simply cutting the lowest performers?

It’s hard to believe that memo can be released and still let go of workers with 1’s and 2’s for ratings….

I didn’t have a meeting with my manager regarding my bonus or merit increase, and I was wondering if anyone knows when the deadline is for those discussions. Will a compensation statement still be released if there was no bonus or merit increase? I found this a bit surprising, as my year-end review was “Meets Expectations” and the feedback throughout the year was very positive.

Have you ever felt like a quality issue was overlooked? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. What happened, and what are some ideas for addressing these issues?

Just started with State Farm and think I made the worst mistake of my life. We went up to the floor and did some side by side observations with the claim reps and holy sh-t this place is a zoo. The guy I was sitting by smelled like weed and looks like he had not showered in a week. The look on everyone's face was one of desperation and misery. Even my training class is a complete cast of burnouts, rejects, imbeciles and people I would move to the other side of the street to avoid. I guess everyone is also getting their ratings this years and sounds like a total sh-t show. This is not what I was told in the interview, typical companies, all smoke and mirrors. Joke!

I’ve seen some posts on Linkedin where laid off employees are saying forever Magenta. When a company lays you off, they’re telling you that you aren’t important enough to keep. That you don’t have the skills to make a true difference. You look like a simp when you worship a company who doesn’t value your skillset. It makes you look desperate but it also makes you look like the job was too good for you. The world would be such a better place without Linkedin honestly. The non stop humblebrags accompanied with the fake lay off appreciation post is enough to make me want to delete the app completely.

Not many visitors any more, does anyone know why?

It sounds like A LOT of IM & NI are being given out this year and from what I'm hearing, not for any real reason. But how is this going to look to the regulators, when the majority of team members have sh---y ratings? Maybe it's not an issue? I'm genuinely curious. If I was a regulator looking at risk or compliance and half the team has sh---y ratings, you'd think that make the "firm" look bad? Maybe not, just curious.

How long do I have? Im in CTO. Never got that rating before. Basically the rating said I’m good at my job but don’t take initiative blah blah blah. I knew it was coming. Don’t care, ready to be done with this place. Do I have until summer at least?

What's the criteria they're using to select sr Manager Managers and ICs.

Every year around November, managers ask for a list of names for "feedback." I have no issues coming up with names who will give a solid review but like, what purpose does this even serve? I give names of those whom I have a good relationship with and work with often so it's easy for me - I had 3 managers and 3 sr advisors on my list this past year.

But then I get requests for feedback on someone whom I literally NEVER talk to nor work with more than once/year at the very most. Not to mention I got one from my director/manager whom I also barely know lol.

I always give amazing reviews to everyone but, wtf is the purpose of these? I feel like the majority of people will always give good reviews, even for those who don't deserve them.

The crashes of two Boeing 737 MAX planes which claimed the lives of 346 people on board and how Boeing may have been more concerned with financial gain over the safety of their passengers. Guess what they didn't listen to their Engineers and the same thing is happening at Verizon. Obviously losing cell service for a day isn't as catastrophic as a plane falling out of the sky, but the same principals are applied. Watch the documentary on Netflix Downfall: The Case Against Boeing
