Has anyone heard if we will get raises and what the % is? My boss keeps saying how much she appreciates me.

It is so obvious State Farm is all image without no substance. What say you?

Between leadership that doesn’t seem to know where it’s going, middle management that can’t execute, and expectations that keep getting more detached from reality, the whole thing feels like a circus that somehow keeps getting louder instead of better.

Everyone needs to stop giving Level 2 IT a 5-star rating, when unwarranted, on the customer feedback surveys. This is not helping the cause and will not lead to any sort of change from vendor management. This is just showing they can continue to get away with sh---y service with no repercussions. Give them the true score they deserve. Tell them how they are rude, how it took 2 weeks to get a power cord shipped to you, how it took 3 days for someone to intially call, and how it took dealing with 4 people before you were finally fixed. Enough is enough. Stop sugar coating the problem!!

Shout out to our WONDERFUL CEO and marketing teams FAILURE to get merchandise/stock into our COR retail stores! YES YES! Direct fill you say, but I am customer I need it now! You know it is Christmas! So what’s your problem ! You scream here in Texas about sale sale sale but yet YOU failed the stock holders and your front line employees! Hope you feel good about yourselves!

Hey Y'all!

To celebrate the upcoming Holidays and our new ad campaign, I wanted to share with you how I found my rich in 2025:

• Aggressive outsourcing of labor outside of North America
• Enacting policies to encourage employees to quit to avoid paying severance
• Investing in custom attire that reflects my humble accountability to our clients and associates
• Removing associate access to anonymous feedback. After all, are you really rich if you are surrounded by anything other than a captive crowd of syncophants?

How will you Find Your Rich?

2 Hours! That’s all you should be in there for. Doesn’t anyone follow instructions anymore. It’s the same people everyday using the same focus rooms.

Middle managers should be clearing paths, growing talent, and preparing teams for the future. Too many here do none of that. Here, problems always get ignored, issues mount, and nothing ever improves. Sometimes I wonder what’s the point of having them at all.

Please please open backup the community centers in Kansas City. We seniors would be open to paying monthly to keep these centers open. They have been a godsend for us and to just close with no warning or no way to say good bye to staff right before Xmas is just awful. Please reconsider

The standard is changed every year, because it is such a poor way of evaluating employees. This one may top all of them.

Does any one when the company scorecard is shared for performance year

And even has HR coming in to get a pulse on things yet gets defensive on a team call right before the holidays today to address the feedback. This leader is very disconnected from his actual team, CANNOT make a decision without consulting SLOD for BAU business matters, and spends all his time being a site leader when the time should be spent understanding his new role , engaging his team and for the love of everything training his green people leaders. Kennedy is a great leader pretty surprised he hasn’t caught on to this about his direct. Call today was odd he had with our team defensive when asked for feedback. Then don’t ask! Merry Christmas ya’ll.

Does anyone know if the reviews being leveled to everyone being rated as “on track” something across the firm, or just in specific areas?

Will there be more RIFs ?

Compensation and reward always appears as a negative in your voice feedback. Is there a plan to address this ?

Responses, erm we have a new employee development project.

I’ve never before worked at a company where people who mess up majorly get rewarded. Why is this happening?

Can’t wait to see the hypocratic face of VZ by sending the pulse review in a few months?!?!?

Did anyone watch it /attend? It seemed like 40 minutes of someone talking but not actually saying anything. Maybe I’m just d-mb and that’s why I didn’t get it.

Can anyone else confirm the 60% bonus pool target funding number mentioned in another thread? All we hear is how amazing our quarterly results were, so one would assume that the funding is much higher than 60%.

Sure would be nice to see some transparency around how the bonus pool funding is calculated (like they used to do many years ago). Seems like they just pull a number out of their a** these days. Or maybe they use the monkey dart theory/approach.

Haven’t they heard that this particular phrase went out of fashion? They can’t even keep up with corporate fluff.

Sooo the clubs with 3rd shift receiving how’s the “new” fresh delivery working, you know when delivery time is supposed to be before 4 AM, because it’s not! We get more M &P deliveries AFTER 6:00 AM and that puts all other SCHEDULED deliveries behind! Once again someone sitting behind a desk thought it was a good idea 🙄

So my store was safe from those agent weirdos or whatever and that made me happy BUT Just found out we’re getting passed to another DM. That’s literally the fifth one in six months. Is this place actually a joke??
And of course, it’s her. She’s actually a total NPC. She acts like a robot and thinks leading by fear is a flex. It’s so so bad. She cares about nobody but herself.. I’ve  dealt with her before and it’s a nightmare.

To make All this even worse daily I hear is 'layoffs this' and more closures that.' Honestly? I hope this new whole giant district exposes these incompetent “leaders” so they can finally see what it feels like to be just a number. Thought about spamming Dan’s stupid feedback thing  but like he actually cares? Yeah right. Whatever. 2026 here we come

If this town hall is representative of how the Mass Markets organization is run, it’s a real $hit $how over there.

Do we have a communications team? Do they help the senior leaders with their messaging? Sure seems like the answer is no. Employee messaging is terrible - inconsistent, inauthentic, and lacks humanity. What’s happening here?

Impossible to find anything on Zero. Any site keeps spinning for minutes. The much vaunted and showcase implementation of AI enabled agent zero has never worked for me... Keep getting gateway error any time I try to use it. What a joke... Emblematic of the state of technology at the company. Lots of noise and rah rah BS followed by no delivery.

..about your career.

Have the most recent employee survey results been released? No one seems to know in my area. And if they have - are results the same, higher or lower than the previous survey?

Incredible what Ricoh sticks on the fridge. Sandwiched between Lexmark and Xerox... so very press release worthy. So very useless.

When can we actually have our performance reviews?

I received an email, same as all you, asking for ideas. A similar email was sent by Hans. I also gave sincere feedback during Pulse. Multiple submissions in Ideas at Work.

For over a decade, I have tenured ideas. Also for over a decade, I have cautioned leadership regarding the clear missteps that they were making. It was tempered at first, but was amplified when Hans was hired. There were many red flags.

"The plan will be presented to the board for them to approve.". Yes, that's how corporations work. Hans did the same, and how did that work out? The signs of the impending failure were obvious.

So the root of the issue are those that do the hiring of the CEO. The board needs flipped.

I've been here for years, and the last couple have been rough. I've had three different managers in a short time, and each one seems less prepared than the last. It really makes me question how they're choosing people for these positions now. The whole process seems very much broken.

I've been watching all of Dan's interviews, and attended his online Webex updates. Based on RIF execution and the substance of everything I've seen. My comment for our pretend cowboy/mixed martial arts master/Self proclaimed overachiever and coffee aficionado is: ALL HAT NO CATTLE!

I have A LOT to say. Could write a book. Haven't done one in the last 5 years or so, or even remember when the last one was, but this time around there is no holding back. Hoping it's coming soon.

Why are they giving us computers the equivalent of chromebooks? We need better computers to do our jobs.

What a Chromebook is best for
• Web browsing, email, schoolwork, streaming, Google Docs
• Simple, fast, secure tasks

That's great. Great.

Did you get that email this morning too?
WTF...sounds like Hatchet Dan doesn't have a plan?
I would LOVE to send him my thoughts...but I need my severance pay! LOL

How was your experience been?

Is anyone else out there also a survivor of SA from execs at Robert Half? happened to me twice — 2009 and 2020 — both times by direct bosses. told my current manager and she literally just replied asking for more Jo’s. Forbes top employer.
