Anyone think OpenAI will magically become profitable. Nope? Me either.

Anyone working here who isn't actively looking to get out might as well be sitting on the Titanic.

guess theyre fed up of us now lol

They keep asking me to do more significant projects, while telling me how my last work output was poor.

The CEO has aged 10 years in just 18 months. Reminding us that the psychopath, is the person 2 levels up. Don’t allow them to break you.

We can do this, despite being under paid and a complete disregard for gratitude.

Does this leadership know or care how much productivity is being lost because they're keeping all of us in suspense? People who are stressing over whether they'll have their jobs and livelihoods every single day can't concentrate fully on their jobs. What's the point of keeping us waiting? Get it over with, lay off the ones you want to, and let the rest move on, ffs.

Thoughts about town hall this morn?

Really, can he not see how there is no one that trusts her leadership.
She is a trainwreck where ever she goes.
What a complete disappointment.

Congratulations to our executive leadership team on successfully driving our stock into previously unimaginable territory.

Who could possibly have predicted that eliminating enormous portions of the workforce—including experienced employees from highly profitable business units—while aggressively replacing institutional knowledge with cheaper, inadequately trained offshore resources from a less than reputable company might eventually have consequences?

Apparently, decimating staff levels, increasing workloads, degrading service quality, frustrating clients, destroying institutional knowledge, and asking the remaining employees to enthusiastically embrace the whole thing as a "transformation" isn't the foolproof recipe for shareholder value we were promised.

The truly impressive accomplishment, though, may be the culture.

It's difficult to imagine how you could create a more demoralizing environment if you actually set out to do it. Employees get to wake up every morning wondering which department will be dismantled next, which colleague will disappear, which function will be outsourced, and which new corporate initiative will explain why all of this is actually fantastic news.

Nothing inspires engagement quite like watching competent people leave while everyone remaining is asked to do more with less—and smile appreciatively because someone put the word "strategic" in front of it. Have you noticed we've started to lose some of our best voluntarily?

So, genuine question for those who have escaped:

Has anyone left and landed somewhere that actually pays better, values experience, and doesn't make opening your laptop every morning feel like you're volunteering for a psychological endurance experiment?

Asking for everyone outside of the SLT.

Our team is doing activity tracking and we are averaging 7+ hours a day but apparently that’s not enough and we need to be at 8+. So subtract our lunch time, bathroom runs, taking a water break or just a minute where we are not clicking away and we need to be at the office 9+ hours to meet this number. WF is not a tech company and they do not pay us enough for this type of treatment. No wonder people hate it here

Well, there at it again long-term associates are getting looked over again and now they’re changing raises on frim years of service but performance and they keep increasing the budgets so nobody can hit their numbers..

I'm this close to divorce because I've become a miserable person to be around, and I'm well aware of that. Not being able to find anything comparable is not helping. I hate my life and I hate this place for what it turned me into.

Managers across BD received an email letting us know that raises this year will be less then the normal 3%. So thanks for all the hard work but BD doesn't care.

Long time high perming employee here. I have really, really tried to do an exceptional job, always going the extra mile, even in these tough times. I had hopes that things would eventually start looking up, but the Fiserv management team has officially crushed my spirit.

I now understand that no matter how much of my blood, sweat and tears I give to Fiserv, it will never be enough. It's impossible to be successful due to totally incompetent management, severely understaffed teams and the drastic loss of institutional knowledge due to layoffs.

It's not a fluke that the stock is in the tank, and clients can't get off this sinking ship fast enough. I've had enough, the job search starts today. Wish me luck!

Sit on their computer all day and send email after email after email after email, pretty good paying job for doing nothing all day isn't it. Pretty pathetic, actually beyond pathetic. And still get a bonus, again pathetic.

Another sh-t show at the fu-k factory

Another round of layoffs feared in 2027....and now Sharp no longer accepts Medicare Advantage plans??

Quality clinical staff have left SMV (lay-offs, quitting). More unit consolidation, elimination of programs.

So this is optimizing healthcare!!?? :-(

Yet the Sharp Experience event still happened....something is really wrong here.

There has to be something...

What would make a high performer choose to stay for another year in here? I’m leaving as well as I feel in the past year I started to feel that I'm not running towards something amazing. I'm running away from something that has become frustrating. Very very frustrating!

I used to see people here freely sharing information and helping each other out all the time. Now everyone seems much more careful about what they hand over and who gets credit for it. With layoffs hanging over everyone, I can't really blame people for protecting themselves, but it's hard to call it teamwork anymore.

It's never a pay raise or anything like that.

I thought the problems here were just part of working for a big bank until I left. Going somewhere similar showed me just how much I'd gotten used to.

Seems like more people are praying for voluntary or involuntary layoffs than for them not to happen.

Well, it’s happened to me now. I am a good UM. A good nurse. Goal posts kept changing. I was notified today. I’ll spare the details but suffice it to say that these PL and managers that have been brought in from elsewhere the first of the year carrying there own people, were sent to do dirty work, clean our the house, and keep a job for themselves. From the bottom of my heart, I don’t deserve this. I am a good nurse and honest and forthright and company loyal. Now rhis. I don’t know how I’m going to make it. I’m bitter and angry. This is not a good company anymore. These PL and managers are backstabbers. I don’t say this lightly. I’m so scared.

I started six months ago and oh my God, I'm already regretting joining, to put it very mildly. Have people been putting up with this for decades? How do you survive?? Or was there a time where the culture was at least somewhat better and employees weren't treated like cr-p all the time?

Bragging about your Safari and telling your employees "everyone should take their family on Safari" Meanwhile, you don't pay your employees enough to take their family to the zoo. He gives pathetic merit increases to the hard workers yet he's out living the high life. The rest are just trying to figure out how to pay for groceries and gas.

I dont remember if they avoided it in the last few years. I actually recall one in Novemeber specifically. Telling people they are let go and still having them do "open enrollment" was a nice touch.

The ISG town hall last week was a narcissist’s wet dream. The short guy went on and on about revenue and how they went all in on SDD and how customers don’t know what to do. The self congratulations and how wonderful everything is going.

All bullsh-t.

Didn’t even address the layoffs of 10,000 of thousands of people across the company and in ISG alone.

Not many attended, the rooms were not filled and nobody clapped. Then of course as narcissists would they blamed the audience for being “flat”. Or an alternative thought. The audience hates you, thinks you are pieces of sh*t and are money grubbing sc-m bags. Did you think of that? No, most likely not. A set of narcissists don’t think that way. It’s always the other guys problem.

Normally most would be thrilled going from a $30 to a $500 a share company in less than 18 months. It’s all fake. Much like this company. Nothing is real or it’s not real for too long.

It’s about the story not actually delivering on the story. Just the story. Just like any good narcissist. It’s about the story and when this story starts to have holes and gaps. You’ll be to blame. Not them.

Biggest set of narcissistic, political sc-m bags on the face of this earth are in this company and you’ve got a whole bunch right in ISG.

Good people are disappearing with no rational explanation and the ones left are anything but transparent. Morale at an all time low despite solid Financials. People coming in from Amazon that know nothing about the business. What the he-l is going on?

I haven't heard anything myself, but if it happens I think it will be this week. I hate living under this omen of layoffs. The last weeks of September and first of October seem to be a waste while everyone waits to see if it is them this time. I think a lot of people want it to be them so they can just move on.

I keep taking on work outside my regular responsibilities and helping when other people need support. Somehow that still gets reduced to "meets expectations" every review cycle. There isn't much incentive to keep giving more when the outcome is the same anyway. Seven years of this has worn me down.

Is there anybody worth their salt still left at Intel? I'm no longer there, but reading this forum, it certainly doesn't seem like many good ones are left.

They are paying new hires 6-7 dollars more per hour with zero electronics experience compared to current Honeywell techs that have been there 20-30 years . Sad new hires with zero electronics background are starting out a tech 4 pay. Terrible for morale and leadership is always demanding more revenue and they still need more revenue.

This is messed up if true.

I have a bad feeling after 3 consecutive layoffs in 12 months...

They took out the middle managers who were running the show. The VPs are now pretending to manage by threatening the ICs to make sure wheels do not fall off.

Titanic is heading towards the iceberg..Get your lifeboats ready.

Serious question.

Anyone have stories of how they’ve successfully strong armed the company, even if only briefly?

We all know the company will do extraordinary things for the chosen few. I have a neighbor who was offered 3x his salary to defer retirement by one year.

Just wondering if there are stories of rare situations where an individual employee has had enough leverage to strongarm the company.

Honestly, who cares about long term career at this place anymore. Do what the management does: take as much as you can RN.

Thank God it's finally here. Good luck to those that stayed

Layoffs, bad execution, bad people managers, no congruent operating procedures or plans. Not even my dog thinks TMO is running right 😂

Fiserv clients , Fiserv stakeholders , Fiserv associates -we all know this place is f’kin done - the guys at the top care about nothing but for $$$$ they can steal , fill their pockets and run over hard working poor associates. Depressing , toxic workplace environment - do not come here - no one cares , seriously. This place will very soon be buried into the ground , no longer sustainable , it is DONE and DOOMED

And then layoffs begin, rinse and repeat. Eventually there will be no one competent to do the work and the bottom will fall out.

It’s so wrong to treat employees this way ! It’s a totally messy scenario! They are wanting to pay less so no calls lowers ranks they think they are smart but they are not it’s all being documented
