Reorgs are comical

Does it seem like many of the recent Manager & Lead promotions went to people that have no clue what they are doing?!? People are getting “promoted”- more like PLACED- to positions they should not be in. Some of these same people could barely do their job prior or have no clue about the job of those now reporting to them. Yet on the flip side, qualified people aren’t even looked at or cannot even make it half way through any interview process because most of HR is a sh-t show. Guess that’s always been the #nikeway. Be in the nepotism club or get left behind.


Unemployment in MA is stuck

They are waiting for employer verification info. Haven't been issued a single payment and don't see any VZ contact info in the package regarding a contact for this specific issue. I've emailed VZ HR several times without response. Anybody else running into this or have a different contact? Monday I'll start making calls. Not desperate here but it would be nice to be getting the $$$ back from the system I've paid into for decades.


AVP layer, what exactly they do

I hope some one from HR or Dan’y boy can read this, what does exactly AVP role is. Its a useless and pointless position. A Sr.Dir/Dir can report directly to a VP and and AD can go back to Sr.Manager.
Sr. Manager ——- Director——-VP
Simple and leaner, all those extra layers cause delays, friction and stress!!!!


Wells Fargo HR department received complaint that employees or contractors are performing multiple jobs during Office hours

Please be aware that Wells Fargo is reviewing employment records in the background to ensure that no employees or contractors are working multiple jobs in violation of company policy.

The HR department has already initiated the background‑check process and is expected to take action soon


Don't bother with Ethics

They're just as useless as HR. Give them valuable documentation, solid, credible witnesses that you know will back you up and after taking weeks and months they will come back with a weak 'we didn't find evidence ....'. Total sh1tshow. Won't even look you in the eye while vomitting the block of tu-d out because they know exactly what they saw as evidence. Granted that they too have a job to do and mouths to feed at home and that Legal will never allow admitting to wrongdoing because what's to stop someone from taking that admittance to court to sue?
Still....why have it in the first place? Regulatory purposes? Does no regulator go through a sample of ethics cases logged and the response/action taken to at least take a customary glance through whether the ethics department is just for show?

Rats...the lot of them. Suddenly, I am beginning to believe some of those things against Andy Sieg...the bank will do anything to protect MD's. Not that Citi is the only one doing this but Citi has to be amongst the worst offenders

QLE (life changing events) for insurance

Belk’s corporate h.r has given 100% inaccurate information about adding my husband to insurance based on a life changing event. If you rely on medical insurance from Belk you may have to consult an attorney for accurate information. Belk’s corporate Human Resources is astonishingly uniformed, uneducated and incompetent.


Advice/Intel from anyone who has been laid off

Hi, I have been feeling super nervous about some of the things I have been hearing around re-orgs within the company and am fairly certain my position will be eliminated.

For those of you who have recently been laid off by CVS for that matter, hoping you can share some wisdom..

How did the process go?
Did you get your bonus from the previous year (if you are eliminated before it is paid out)?
Were you given adequate resources to find another role internally?
Anything specific I should ask the HR person if I do get notified?

Any intel would help. I can see the writing on the wall and trying to get myself as prepared as possible. Thanks in advance!


It is amazing

Nothing has changed. Every year, at the same time, the horrid feeling of what’s to come. Here’s my 2 cents:
It’s only getting worse in tech.
Corporate doesn’t care about you.
HR doesn’t care about you.
Yes, HR is ‘secretly’ invited to the meetings - they want to make sure you show up and you may not if you know it’s a goodbye call.
Again,
Corporate doesn’t care about you.
HR doesn’t care about you.
Get out if you can and stop the stress.
I left before they had their way with me, and it was the best thing I ever did. I thought about waiting for severance, but then they would’ve really won wouldn’t they have?
Find a better way. It’s not worth it.
You are better than them. They might not care about you, but you have others who do.

2 IMs in a row, manager putting me on PIP now

For my 2025 mid year review, I was given an IM. Second half of the year, my manager acknowledged things were a lot better but still gave me an IM for the EOY review because he "had to consider the year as a whole". Now he tells me because I have 2 IMs in a row I need to be on PIP according to HR. His review had the most bogus generic points just so he could embellish why he was giving me the poor rating.

I should probably be looking for another job now but does anyone have any advice? Is it pretty much over now that I'm on PIP? Should I not sign any of the PIP documents? Ive already opened a ticket with HR to have all of this documented going forward but my managers assessment just seems completely unreasonable.

What happened to Project Mongoose?

Project Mongoose was supposed to wipe out many jobs in 2025 and replace them with AI. And from 2026 onward, we were supposed to have at lease 1-2% in layoffs every year.

So far I have heard that there are no layoffs planned. I have also heard that lists to lay off employees are being created and they'll lay off as soon as they get a green light. I have also heard that Betriebsrat and HR and executives are taking legal action against each others regarding layoffs. I have also heard that they are empowering managers to give a bad performance rating to anyone they want gone and use this new performance management to lay off employees every year.

I also heard that many colleagues in the US were laid off but when I ask my manager, she says it is fake news and I should focus on my work.

What happened to Project Mongoose?

PS: I would prefer non-political answers. Also, please keep your racism to yourself.


You are not alone in this: REACH OUT!!

I’ve received four separate inquiries from different parts of the organization asking whether I have any open positions. One came from HR—they emailed me saying the individual was identified as a top performer and asked me to review their résumé for potential fit. If I decline an interview, I have to provide a reason, and HR has pushed back on my explanations in the past.
Another inquiry came from a department I’ve partnered with on projects, another from a direct report advocating for a former colleague, and the last came from a Director who was saying goodbye. In her farewell message, she asked us to keep her and her team in mind and included a brief summary of the three employees who were impacted.
I’m on the UnitedHealthcare side, and I want to say this to you: don’t feel embarrassed to reach out to colleagues and share your résumé. My boss and I always prioritize candidates who have been laid off—I’ve hired many people this way. Most of us understand what you’re going through, because today it’s you, but tomorrow it could be any of us.
Wishing you all strength and momentum as you move forward. You’re capable, you’re resilient, and better opportunities are ahead.


Stay quiet if you know what's good for you

Pointing out issues or problems is a surefire way to get marked as a troublemaker. The response of those above you - in my experience but others as well - is never to address the issue, but to punish the messenger. Needless to say, HR is not your friend in this process, so you end up being sc--wed over for trying to fix things. Just don't bother.


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.
