#micromanagement

Why centene managers are doing more micromanagement and have very high expectations. Is there too much pressure coming from top management. I have never worked with any company with this kind of work pressure

It was asked if Imperial would consider work from home arrangements for those who are not able to relocate. The answer was a resounding NO - as the Company values collaboration which is most effectively achieved through face-to-face interaction. What a LOAD of crock!! Collaboration can be achieved in many diverse forms, Imperial just wants to micromanage because they don’t trust their employees! Everyone knows they allow that set-up on select people (the “favorites”)

It has been said time and time again that Return to Office is not mandated. Yet leadership has mentioned that there will be people walking around auditing who is present. Has Cisco gone full on micro managing?

Predictions indicate that ExxonMobil may face significant layoffs in 2025 due to ongoing cost-cutting measures and restructuring efforts.

Context and Predictions

Recent discussions among employees and industry analysts suggest that ExxonMobil is preparing for substantial workforce reductions over the next few years. Concerns have been raised about the company's commitment to achieving $7 billion in structural cost savings, which may lead to layoffs across various departments and locations, including key operational areas in the United States and internationally.

Employee Sentiments

Many employees express anxiety about job security, citing a culture of increased micromanagement, turnover, and a push for higher productivity with fewer resources. There are indications that the company may continue to outsource jobs and reduce benefits, further contributing to a challenging work environment.

Financial Performance

While ExxonMobil reported strong financial results in the second quarter of 2025, including earnings of $7.1 billion, the company is also focusing on cost-saving strategies to maintain profitability amid fluctuating market conditions. This dual focus on financial performance and cost reduction may lead to difficult decisions regarding staffing levels.
ExxonMobil

In summary, while ExxonMobil's financial health appears robust, the combination of cost-cutting initiatives and employee concerns suggests that layoffs could be a significant aspect of the company's strategy moving forward into 2025. Employees and stakeholders are advised to stay informed about developments as the situation evolves.

We lost a great manager. They decided to nuke our department for no good reason and then handed the pieces to someone who loves micromanaging and playing politics. I went from enjoying my job to dreading it within a few weeks. Again, for no good reason! This place makes no sense to me.

Five years of micromanaging, angry clients, and being treated like a kid. I finally hit the point where I said no more. Scariest move of my life but now I sleep through the night.

Anyone else’s managers suddenly started micromanaging THE HE-L out of them??!?! No??? Just me??!! My boss straight up asked me why I’ve been away from my desk for so long because they stalked my Teams status (I put a hold on my calendar) and when I told them I had a doc appt, they asked “with who?”…. Did I really need to tell my boss I was at the gyno? Even with stupid tasks like replying to emails, my boss will Teams me and say “when are you planning on responding back to that email that just came in 2 minutes ago???” Like jeez they underpay us, ask us to come in 4 days, and micromanage? Big brother much?

On Thursday, several internal staff members were let go as part of the company’s ongoing restructuring under the TKO Group Holdings umbrella.

I joined about ten months ago and it was great for the first six months. But lately, everything I do is suddenly under a microscope, tasks feel impossible, and I’m left out of key meetings. My work isn’t acknowledged, and my role keeps changing. Is this just how things are, or is it a sign I’m being edged out?

No, I am not on a PIP but was on my first run at Dell, lol. Fkn Pro support bro...

If you get put on a PIP you are still expected to show up and do your job every day. If you choose to just not come in anymore then, they will just fire you - which is literally what a PIP is for anyways - but you won't get any type of severance, or pay for no shows, so might as well milk them for that check.

If you are put on a PIP, they are basically trying to force you to quit. Your job is 100x harder on a PIP than it should be and are micromanaged like a mo-o. Instead of quitting, continue to go in, do whatever tf you want to do and make sure it's the absolute bare minimum. A paycheck is a paycheck so, make dell pay you out for doing a cr-p job. They legally have to pay you so, do the minimum possible. They plan on firing you anyways so who tf cares at this point?

Go in. Do the bare minimum at most. Just show up and pretend to work in all honesty...

I was on a PIP years ago when i was in the Pro Support dept. and I showed up, did the bare minimum, collected my checks and that was it. They monitored our calls and etc... via a program called (I think it was called anyways) "ICE" and I disabled that, then ran a simple script to prevent an automatic reinstall. So I'd take calls, talk for a while then hang up to make it seem as if i was "working."

Which was hilarious becuase I was called in a week later or so to go over my PIP cr-p and they were baffled as to how and why they had no records of anything after xyz date. I told them idfk, just doing my job bros. They didn't have an answer because they had no idea how or why it wasn't being tracked so, that was that.

A week before I was to fail my PIP I quit. Applied for unemployment and received it. Got paid for an extra check as well because my manager was "fond" of me lmfao.

Long story short, drag that sh-t out and milk it. Do the minimum to stay on the PIP and then when it's coming to an end, just quit. BUT, do it professionally. As in tell your manager first because then you might not get unemployment.
