#feedback

Hello friends and colleagues. I would like to apologise. Yesterday for the first time in 7 years I forgot to post a meaningless #lifeatbny LinkedIn post. After our recent inspiring and uplifting “Ask me Anything” with RV (as long as it’s pre approved meaningless questions that don’t challenge the narrative) I had resolved to double down on my “look at me I love BNy” LinkedIn posts. I hope that my lack of LinkedIn post yesterday did not discourage, demotivate , or cause anyone in my team to wonder wait does she still love the company or not. So sincere apologies to all. #lovelifeatbny #lookatme #proffessionalbootlicker

Just copied from another post here and posting here.. What's your opinion ? upvote or down vote ?

Put your thoughts on what the new CEO had to say today here

Has anyone else these past couple of weeks noticed a large surge in cancelled contracts? Many different reasons but also many that are unhappy with the current onboarding process. Are nurses beginning to avoid taking contracts with MedSol?

No more pollev in ESA and larger townhalls, seems like the MC doesn't want to hear anonymously anymore. No one is going to ask the real questions anymore or reach out to them specifically with their name attached to it, it feels like silencing.

Anyone else’s laptop un usable by the shot security products used at intel??

The lack of participation is what ki-ls them. You could tell them everything is wrong and they will tell you-

“We heard you! You want less chairs because it promotes more physical fitness at work”

But when there is a lack of participation, that’s a lack of engagement. A disengaged workforce is the hallmark of a poorly run company and sign of major culture problems.

They were more concerned on the last survey about participation levels than by what we wrote.

If your boss is ‘forcing’ you to take the survey so their numbers look good, provide all negative feedback and in the fill-in-the-blank portion state: ‘I work in a culture where employees feel pressured to participate in a survey that is supposed to be anonymous and voluntary. This undermines the credibility of the survey and makes employees less likely to provide honest feedback.’”

Already being pushed to do it so let’s do a survey of our own.

Will you do it? Yes/no
If yes, will you give happy talk BS to placate them, tear them a new one or something in between?

The person they brought in for this wellbeing presentation, is one of the most chilling presenter I have encountered and not in a good way.

There was no emotion, blank stare, no genuine feeling about anything. Everything seemed practiced and rehearsed. I know sociopathic tendencies are rampant the higher you go up the ladder but this one kind of scared me. It’s like I would not ever want to work with that person and can’t take any advice seriously. Maybe it’s just me and so overworked that I have no idea how this will help.

Who neither manage nor direct

Should we call them Mismanging Indirectors?

I’m getting a lot of “my purpose“ recognition notifications from a bunch of executives I have never met and aren’t even in my hierarchy. Like I don’t report to them in any way shape or form. Almost like they are mistakingly recognizing me, when they mean to recognize somebody else. Has anyone else? I appreciate the effort, but considering how awful this company has been to work for the last two or three years it seems pretty disingenuous. The engagement survey starts next week, the new CEO starts today, etc. It just feels like a bunch of exacts are trying to cover their a-s.

Pretty straightforward chronicle of how Stankey and his fellow RTOstans are creating the very Gen Z and Gen Alpha attitudes they constantly whine about. I sure as he-l know that I wouldn’t tell my kid to go for a corporate job after my experience in this world.

First time in years I have heard NOTHING regarding Tell Dell results. Don’t get me wrong, I know the report if phony but usually the HR cronies are able to muster up some sort of positive spin on abismal results. Looks like this year there was literally nothing positive to spin.

READ BEFORE COMMENT : i thought i didn't get it , then i saw that table had more than one page , when switched to second page it was there just like everyone else .

a lot are already saying they have it ( 28th aug or 21th aug ) no need to stress ..

European, 32.

I was indentified as LP (Low Performer). PIP goals are not clear at all.

My manager was always very friendly with me but not clear at all with my performance in the project.

Super Saturday

I just wanted to share a thought regarding the message. I’m sure it wasn’t intended this way, but the wording “For Those STILL Here… Have a Great Rest of the Weekend” could potentially come across as a little discouraging to those who took time out of their Saturday to participate in Super Saturday. I think a simple acknowledgment and thank-you to everyone who made the effort to be there would help people feel appreciated and recognized for their time and commitment. Everyone’s time is valuable, and even a small expression of appreciation can make a big difference in keeping people encouraged and engaged.

Nike built the LeBron James Innovation Center to look like the future. And inside, they’ve apparently figured out how to manufacture the past.

The Innovation team has a pretty simple process: Start with a decent idea. Overthink it. Add a bunch of stakeholders. Rename it three times. Build a ridiculous prototype.

Make a very cool video. Put together a 75-slide deck explaining why this is going to change sport forever.

Then, after everyone has had their moment, dump it on Inline. CFO: Just Flush It. 🚽👟

Assessment themes are total BS. Such a joke and they are so proud of them. I would love to feed the list into AI and see what it says about the fairness and objectivity of it.

https://www.reuters.com/investigations/mark-zuckerberg-had-bold-plan-replace-meta-staff-with-ai-heres-how-it-imploded-2026-08-26/

"To make its workforce “AI native,” Meta explored slashing the size of many teams across the company by as much as 60% in two waves, internal documents show. Staff revolted - and hours before a big layoff in May, the CEO called off planning for further cuts."

MD on the other hand, obviously doesn't care. Yay! (:D)

I’ve been asked to interview for a role in Europe, anybody have insight?

Every time I bring up an idea my supervisor has someone else work on it and then pretends like it was their idea. How am I ever going to assess well when the feedback is always that you have to do more than your job description?

How many employees are put in the lowest two buckets (needs improvement and developing contributor) . What if you have been unfairly out into that bucket. Is there any point in challenging it ?

Who was the genius who decided that a Satisfied customer response equals a 1 out of 5? We're asking for emails for someone spending 2 seconds in the store getting a coke, to get a survey email and sc--w us over.

These upper id--ts will just send in whatever they want and load up our backrooms and pi-s off store management. Mondelez upper management is so clueless.

More layoffs are set to roll out in America on Monday. I'm numb. 2.48 billion dollar revenue but they still decide to layoff the people making it happen. This is beyond parody. SHAPE survey comes out and says people are unhappy and Synopsys leadership decides to keep beating the dead horse. Unbelievable

Anyone received a feedback on performance and raise, what was percentage?

Idk where to begin but I feel the website is an absolute trash. Like batshit trash.

I tried to add the Google AI pro on my FIOS plan and well, you can't.

Why the heck it is so difficult to navigate through the website?

Same with Verizon Dollars, can't find what is the balance on my Verizon dollars. The chatbot does not respond.

Tried to call in the service rep, it literally said the VOICEMAIL iS FULL and hanged up. My wife next to me literally started laughing as how can a company this big is so full of cr-p.

Doesn't usually take this long. I didn't expect them to be positive because points at everything, but with how long they've been holding back results, they must be BAD bad this year.

Anyone heard anything?

A few months ago I was talking to a recruiter about coming back to Fidelity after I got laid off. When I spoke to them, they said something like "it's a huge relief I don't have to explain that whole connect week thing to you compared to other people I call". They also said "yeah... it's gonna be an experiment".

From the outside looking in, you can tell a lot of these people in HR have opinions on what's going on that they don't want to be outward about. Anti bootlicking opinions. Or at least that's what I see. They hate the new laws of the land, they're just the ones that have to enforce them.

So, if you're in HR, if you feel comfortable sharing, what do you think about all this?

What is up with the Voya 401k website? Broken links. No access to adjusting funds.

Is it me or the IRR testing is harder
this year with lots of confusing choices sometimes there’s no correct answers?!!

Please note that none of the surveys in Synopsys are anonymous.

In last yearst Shape survey, there was a question whether you believe in CEO Gh@zi leadership. All L6/M6 and above who rated 3/2/1 have either been laid off or are in the layoff pipeline.

So, play safe and give 5 ratings to such questions, basically lick the @ss in surveys unless you are in notice period.

Any other groups receive a request for employees to provide their top 3 “accomplishments” this year? Seems odd for this outside of mid year / year end reviews.

Current XOM is like a skydiver that was forced to jump out of the plane not wearing a parachute while being required to report back to the Flight Crew every 10 seconds with a status update.

For the first several updates, everything is going exactly per plan and the Flight Crew, especially the Captain, pats themselves on the back, hands out record bonuses to each other and determines that everything is going so great, the other skydivers on the plane are forced to jump sans-chute too.

But that last status update will eventually come in from the Ground Crew and no one but the Flight Crew will be surprised.

The brown nosers replying to Bill's retirement post on LinkedIn make me sick! Bill ran this place into the ground!

OH and OK added as ICHRA states. Does this mean we no longer have the option to choose from the 4 options we had before?

I've heard from IN folks ICHRA is AWFUL, not accepted country wide and lacking providers who actually take the plan...

We’ve had a lot thrown at us over the last 18-24 months. How’s everyone feeling?

...I woke-up this morning & logged-in without coffee yet, dutiful as ever, only to be blasted half awoken by the new wallpaper shooting bright white laserbeams directly into my face.

You can't hate what this place has become enough. Just so fücking stupid & pointless to have no agency in even setting a desktop background. It's still burning into my face as I gripe.

Message/orders understood - I'll only ever work when it's light outside, fücking id--ts.
