#lookingtoleave

Blowout quarter from Fidelity shares (1.73 wow!) I am sure management will spin this as a "RTO" win. Just one more quarter for vesting and I am outta here!

Allstate is an awful company. I don't have many regrets in life, but working here is one of them. Every single person working here can do so much better.

Unfortunately I did not take the VSP thinking I would not find a job fast enough before the VSP money ran out. I was not laid off but now feel miserable here. I just don't like the direction the company is going now and can no longer turn a blind eye to what I feel is not right. I started applying for jobs and suddenly things are moving in the interview stages with multiple companies. If I get an offer and put in my 2 week notice, will they let me go on the spot but still pay me for the 2 weeks or possibly even not pay me? I am in Missouri.

The reason I ask is because on previous teams when folks put in their 2 weeks, suddenly they were gone and were not able to complete their 2 weeks and it didn't matter what PTO they had left. The companies I am in the running for are not other insurance companies but I can still see Centene making a leap and considering it still a competitor in some capacity. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

EM is my first job out of school. I thought it’s a place where I can retire, until I discovered this site. I never stopped learning new skills and looking outside. I will leave soon a much better pay job. Thank you all for sharing the bad stories and saved my career!

Been here 5+ years, stuck with a toxic boss/team for a good chunk of those years. Been trying to leave for the last 2 years with no luck. (And my job search started even before RTO btw, I'd imagine more people here are looking elsewhere now.)

I used to like this place and the growth opportunities it gave me, good benefits, and flexibility. All that went away when I was restructured onto this current team (and restructured again within the team so toxic boss can "better divide his time amongst the few direct reports that he cares more about"), with a toxic boss who tells me frequently, "there are others on this team who are a better fit for this role than you," and actively tries to replace me.

When I tried to interview elsewhere for a lateral move (same role/title, same responsibilities, no title or pay raise), even after I pass all final interviews, companies tell me "Fidelity is such a great place I don't see why you want to leave...", I get rejected for simply being a fidelity employee and this fake perception this place carries externally. And believe me, I've tried to look internally too and failed many times here - either for roles with another internal candidate already lined up or ghost postings that aren't actually real.

There's a perception that this place is amazing (and it is, 4-5 years ago maybe but no longer), and now I get why people have such long tenures here - they can't leave, they are stuck in the same roles with no transferable skillset to go anywhere else. RTO pains just make it all worse.

Are you going to stay here at Cigna?
Upvote for Yes, Downvote for No

I have been employed for over 20 years at VZ. The culture has changed and they don’t care about you. If you are worried about losing your job look outside. There are lots of jobs out there you just have to look! Or if you don’t care stay with Vz and spin the bottle and hope it doesn’t land on you. All the talent will leave and Vz will be left with the bottom of the barrel…..serve them right

Anyone still expecting a miracle here is wasting their time. Get your resume ready and leave before management makes things even worse.

I open my laptop every morning and wonder why I'm still doing this. The only thing stopping me from handing in my notice is knowing I need the income.

How many are looking to leave? I thought I'd retire here, but the last year or so has changed my mind. I'll be leaving as soon as I find an alternative, if I don't get laid off first.

They laid off an amazing guy loved by all of us to replace him with somebody at least a decade younger with no people skills. Half my team is now planning to quit as soon as we can, and the other half is not far from making the same decision. They ruined our team, and for what?

Nothing would make me happier at this point than being paid by them to leave. Give me the money and I'll be on my way. Hopefully to a less toxic, better run company than this place.

What the fu-k is this… why you guys (c-level fols) make the most majority of employees go thru such a horrible vibe.

Notify victims on the day of announcement for the plan of layoff.

Are you giving victims time to prepare? Shut up… you guys can provide additional 1month payment if you guys are taking care of them so much.

You guys are just playing, messing with victims, to take advantage of this sh---y event to make you look little bit more responsible on the earning call.

You don’t even deserve this curse, you guys.

I’m done. I’ll find better employers even if I’ll survive. What a horrible company to work for.

You can feel the change in the way people talk about the company. There's no excitement about new projects, and if you ask anybody about the future, they tend to just shrug. People are doing enough to get through the day, but the willingness to give anything extra has pretty much disappeared. I wouldn't be surprised if hundreds are already planning their exits.

I don't have a job lined up exactly, but let's just say there's a high probability I wouldn't be unemployed for more than a month. Is there a way to hint to my manager I'd be happy to take a package? What's the worst thing that could happen?

I came in wanting to do good work and bring new ideas, but the environment has worn me down. If you're already feeling the same way, think carefully about whether staying is worth it.

Things look bad enough that I'm not comfortable assuming PayPal will recover. I'd rather prepare for a move now than be caught off guard later. Searching while you're still employed gives you more time to compare offers and choose carefully. Don't leave yourself scrambling if the situation gets worse.

The cuts keep coming, and I no longer believe the reassurances we're given. At this point, another promise that things will settle down doesn't mean much to me. I'll be looking for a way out any way I can just to get away from this mess.

Just hating on this place? Wouldn't it be better to simply leave?

I'm leaving soon, and I won't be sorry to see Verizon struggle once I'm gone. After the way I've been treated, I don't feel any loyalty left.

Whatever happens this/next week remember to not take it personally. You may be out this/next week but no one else is sitting around thinking about or worrying about you.

Stay healthy, take care of the family and move forward. After all there are PLENTY of opportunities out there and with PepsiCo on your resume you can go anywhere. DO NOT slam the company on social media or anywhere else, employers now search the web before they interview you to see what you are up to. STAY POSITIVE!

God Bless

I managed to get through to the final interview round with two companies just to be ghosted by them. To say I'm getting discouraged would be an understatement. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Are others having more luck?

I hear there might be layoffs this week, I become hopeful I'll be among the lucky ones to get a paid ticket out of this place. Long gone are the days when I was worried about layoffs. You know, the days when we were actually a good company nobody would want to leave. Now most of us can't wait to get out.

Today I plan to tell my a--hole of a boss to go and disrespectfully fu-k himself. That man put me on a PIP for no good reason and I plan to burn that bridge without a second thought.

Finally got off the losing train. No hard feelings, but I'm not riding coach on the Titanic.

Part of me wants to leave, but starting again at this stage of my career feels like a huge risk. For now, I'm only staying because I don't know what other realistic option I have.

My supervisor said we weren’t losing any headcount in our maintenance department, I’m not sure how he knows this already but that’s disappointing I’m looking to leave

How long until somebody notices?

It has been nearly a year of constant applying and interviewing and I have absolutely nothing to show for it. I have done dozens of interviews and sent out way more applications than I can count, and I still cannot figure out why nothing is sticking. I want out of here so badly but I am starting to wonder if I am doing something fundamentally wrong or if the market is just that broken right now. Either way, I am exhausted and I do not know how much longer I can keep this up.

It's failing in every way imaginable, including failing its employees and its customers. Smart people are already looking for a way out.

You're exhausted from years of surviving. There's a difference. Get out if you can.

Here it comes. Just got confirmation Oct 29th is my last day !

Anyone with updates on AML and Fraud? Will there be another round of layoffs? Everyone is scared and most people are looking elsewhere.

Top performer here. I am so sick of current IT organization. No one cares about the company. I want to line next job based on bonus pay date and get out of here. Looking forward to put my notice.

Better start looking

goodbye honeywell.
heading to intel. plenty of jobs for managing contract manufacturers.
took me exactly 1 day to get an interview and offer.

Tomorrow is my last day at EM, deleting my bookmark to this site, to be honest really couldn’t care what happens at EM anymore.

Later di-kheads

I just want out.

I know it’s a movie name but that’s what I’ve been telling everyone left at Oracle to do.

And please for the love of Pete do not refer people in.

This company is not normal.
This leadership team is not normal.
This way of working is not normal.

Overall, this is not normal
