What’s happened to growing Shell’s core businesses and building for a successful future? The only new announcements that seem to be issued by mgmt concern another deck shuffle or staff cut. Or is this the only criteria on which they’re evaluated?

Management employee. I declined the move to Charlotte. Found a new job but need the ATT severance. The original letter states my end date is up to the discretion of my leadership. My boss is new and his boss as well. Been waiting on answers since May. Anyone have a suggestion for how I can self volunteer for surplus ? ..is that even the correct terminology?

Enrique said they are on track to remove three organizational layers to increase spans of control this year in the Q&A email. What does this mean?

I am an RN and I was let go due to great pressure by the management. I found a much better job where people treat you as a human.

Gotta hand it to NHG (CMO), given everything that went down with CG, how the heck does she still remain in place and keep showing up like nothing happened?

Seriously, respect the game. The ability to survive and just keep going is next-level. Most people would’ve bounced.

How does she do it? Genuine question.

Use AI and manage AI from inside the US. Outsourcing to 3rd world countries poses security risks.

What surprises lie in store? What choices are being made to manage the end of quarter numbers? Not for employee benefit certainly, but to make the board think that real work is being done.

Shudder.

Not sure on the number of folks impacted across BUs but RA are coming in Sept. Given that this have been the worst quarter with a historic price drop, let’s hope for the best.

So they are actively surplusing the folks who handle all of the customer care and customer support, then wonder why the Voice of the Customer surveys are so trash as of late. You call in and get transferred around because no one knows WTF is happening or how to fix sh-t that gets messed up in Retail because the teams that DID handle that are gone (Surplussed) and the chat support is so bogged down with people refusing to be stressed to the max that the wait time for anyone remaining to get help is ALWAYS two hours minimum. Then of course they hire in new managers off the street to replace the ones they just surplussed....and these NEW folks have zero idea WTF is happening themselves or what they've just signed up for..This company is operating on the sole fact that the left hand NEVER knows what the right hand is doing anymore. If they start cutting at L3 and HIGHER..we could reach whatever financial target they are trying to reach and everyone could stop being stressed and near their breaking point day in and day out. There is ZERO reason John Stankey should have made 29 million dollars last year when the stock value has diminished STEADILY throughout his tenure. 29 million dollars to look goofy as fu-k in every video they put him in, where he lies about how well the company is doing, then directs the company to send out "Mental Health Support Tips!" emails to the folks who hate his guts.

Im curious why leadership/ HR has not figured out that protecting the people that charge indirect labor (middle management) and treating your workforce like cr-p to the point they resign doesn't make you more money.. your DL money makers are quitting but your heads are so far up your own as*es you cant see this circlej--kis driving the company into the ground.

Stop slamming Mike. Stop prejudging Takis. They both got sc--wed. Neither of them would have taken the job if the knew that Frank built a house of cards. He left when the runway was running out. So he hired fall guys. Mike brought humanity to this company. But you can’t fix fraudulent earnings. Mike obviously supported Takis and made him co-president. Mike designed the strategy for a turn around which Takis upheld on the earnings call. Stop pitting and comparing Mike against Takis. The blame lies with Frank. The solution is to work together and deliver what this company is capable of.

Look like a lot of people in Fideliscare (those who didn’t take VSP) some did not read the part of potential layoff in August and some are nervous.
Another thing some think everything is business as usual yet at the same time management is in meetings. A lot of marketing reps took VSP some leaving SEPT/DEC/MAR

Bryan has the energy of a used car salesman. He seems very untrustworthy and incompetent. They just talk a lot without saying anything substantive. What is happening with the company? What is HISs future? Why do they even do quarterly calls to tell us we are doing well and then pull some bs like this. Bryan is taking home a gigantic paycheck compared to the size of our company. The greed of shareholders is really insane. Every company lays off thousands of employees like it’s nothing just because the profits were 1 or 2 percentage lower.

Sales has been given some great products & tools since 2001. Them & Capital Management has largely been insulated from the changes. Yet, year after year, they dramatically underperform. Time to get close & get a microscope & do a colonoscopy w/o the sedation.

This isn’t a layoff post, but it’s a precursor. Word is finally leaking out that Senior Managers are getting individual reports on employees… how active they are, and they’re also able to select platforms by seal ID how much time every employee is spending in each program. What they promised wouldn’t happen is here. Word is leaking out all over corporate sectors and mid managers are warning ppl.

John Harrobin is a total charlatan. Knows nothing except how to cut prices to gain volume. A Monkey could do that. Zero marketing skills and a nepotist to boot. He will be the undoing of.our company.

I'm an employee under BTS. We've had a bunch of people take the VSP. Wendy left (so curious what happened there). A VP Katie took the VSP. My question is: I've interviewed for an apartment manager gig. I would hate the job with a passion. I get a discount on rent (potentially free rent in the future but they haven't confirmed). I would get way less pay, less holidays off, less pto. My thing is I love what I do and I'm even helping a new department who is already struggling with less employees now. I'm a new Centene employee (came over from another company's layoff). My question, does anyone have any insight for the chance of layoffs? I would hate to turn down a job just to be let go here but I would also hate my life if I took that job.

Between the brain fog, fatigue and confidence taking a hit, did anyone feel HR or management quietly decided you were “past your prime”? Did you tell HR, or did you keep it to yourself? Curious if anyone’s been through this.

AmD is very successful and working model for other companies to follow. Why do managers use their excellent skills to just copy and paste to follow their working model.

1. Get a new female PhD CEO
2. Go fabless and abandon all fabs to save costs
3. Stop layoffs and hire more talents to growth

When good managers were kept and the bad ones let go.
When our managers were in the same office and you could go to them for help (instead of teams or have them call you back when they weren't soooo busy).
When you came into work and had a desk.
When our leadership actually talked to us instead of avoiding us.
When leadership didn't demean workers
When leadership actually asked about us if we were out office (vacation, accident, illness, death, birth, wedding).
I miss when it was lovely to come to work

The dust has begun to settle. Nuveen’s $13.5B “bailout” deal for Schroeder’s will create huge headwinds for TIAA & Nuveen in the near. First, Nuveen (aka TIAA) overpaid by 35%. Second, there will have to be major debt issuance to pay for the deal. Then, Schroder’s is in Europe-not necessarily the free market capital of the world & subject to heavy regulation & taxes. Then, you still have Blackrock, Vanguard & Fidelity stateside who are the 800 pound guerillas. Overall, this move seems to be made in a panic & forced & not thought through all the way. Some very questionnable moves going on driven by lost clients, lost wealth management teams, the Denver/Jacksonville/Frisco & Accenture disasters. I could be 100% wrong but how does everyone else see this deal ?

Just as expected, a pitiful Q2 earnings call with an on par deflection from management regarding "supply chain issues" (we all know better than that). The after hours trading price tells the truth.

What could lead to it? Will he fight or quit?

What tactics Cisco managers use before putting IC on PIP? PIP cause is very subjective.

It seems like a lot of managers and executives are taking their time.

I'm not sure if people really know what AI is and how it can help

We have it but are limited to how much we can use it for.

Did your manager present the results to your team? Cause it seems the Epstein files have a greater chance of being released than Tell Dell

For those who survived because they create the best KPI reports and charts, what will they be reporting now that everyone has been cut?
What happens to the unused tokens, survivors get double now?
If remote IC employees were cut how did remote managers survive?
When will HR be cut, AI can for sure replace HR robots.
What's the need for managers without people
How do you complete a roadmap with no road workers?
What happens when only the chosen ones are left, when will they all start turning on each other.
Imagine how boring lunches will be now, nobody left to talk about.
Multiple levels of management with no people, makes sense.

Hi I’ve been with Intuit for almost a decade and have been a seasonal manager. My seasonal experts and I are not hearing anything regarding next year’s tax season yet. Has anyone heard any updates? Very disappointing.

I smell something strange, not positive. The management team operates like we are in the 90s.

My boss keeps making consequential statements in supervisor calls, allowing people to react to them, and then later reframing or correcting what she originally said. It’s maddening.

The whole team then misunderstands or panics over her statements badly enough that she has repeatedly needed to issue corrections.

Shame on you guys. I recently happened to interview a person from Oracle. He was a director in Oracle and was laid off last September. I initially rejected the resume saying big NO for Oracle but had to pick the resume due to strong recommendation.

He claimed to possess tech skills on paper and was able communicate clearly on his projects. Tech gap is ok. The real gap was his financial and strategical thinking. He doesn't seems to have futuristic vision and seems maintained his project in status quo. He doesn't have clear budgeting knowledge. Later figured out he was just running the show with his India team and some engineers which was taken over by his another peer.

Seems lots of managers and directors are hanging around in Oracle like this without basic management skills and a set of people. btw I am an ex-oracle pmts but in senior position now.

Can someone explain to me where we are going ? The nightshift want to know if the company will start to pay our netflix subscriptions to keep us occupied until you close it down.

In past i did some interviews as technical person helping manager.. We never expected great things or truth from certain known big places and 9/10 times it was justified.

That one person who got stuck there due to various reasons.. I felt sorry for the person, because when we started interview - we were biased after few really low quality level engineers / lazy people coming from his "company Y".

It makes me wonder if dell has such stigma now?

New CEO is going to be on board within the next 60 days, ole Nic's hand picked boot li---rs days are numbered. What's your guess the first boot li---r to get papers?

Management is clueless. I know of no other place where executive management would be so indifferent to the absolute rock bottom morale. No wonder they quit doing the surveys.

Is it the VP that decides or is it your manager? Pulte? What metrics do they use? Commit amount? How often your name comes up in meetings? Does your age matter much? What about pay?

I’m trying to understand what the actual purpose of that group is and what the experience has been for people who’ve been part of it for a while.

Recently, Risk Management was added under that umbrella, but there hasn’t been any clear explanation why. Of course, we’ve heard the usual “happy” messages like: “lucky us,” “everything will stay the same,” “everything will be alright”, but it doesn’t really seem that way.

If anyone has insight into what’s going on or how this group operates internally, I’d really appreciate hearing your perspective.

Why IBM managers are so incompetent?

Hi, with the recent WFR going on in Dell will it be okay if I ask my manager straight forward to add my name as well in the list? Not sure about will they agree or will it backfire me. I am fed up of everything going on currently and it is impacting my mental health & peace very much. I heard there is WFR going on in overall ISG this week so I was thinking to discuss my concern with manager. Anyone please help.
