I find it rather bizarre that there is no acknowledgment anywhere on CNet about the pending departures of so many people, or who is leaving. I took the VSP and feel bad for everyone else- those left behind and those forced out.

RTO changes nothing. If anything it’s made productivity plummet.
I show up at the office. I sit there for 8 hours to the exact minute.
All I do is hang out, talk to people around the office, scroll on my phone and watch Netflix on my iPad.
The best part is with this new 8&skate culture there’s really no pressure to deliver anything anymore. As long as you show up and sit you get an exceeds rating.
I’ve significantly reduced my hours and no longer feel any stress or pressure because I no longer care. I’ll stick around and keep doing the exact same thing until I’m paid to leave.
You bootlickers can keep ki-ling yourselves to pick up the slack while I get the same rating, pay, and bonus for 1/8th of the workload. You keep working hard and paying my bills while I keep chillin. Thanks!
The anniversary regret
Two years in and this has been the worst stretch of my career. Happy anniversary to me.
I remember when I actually respected Medtronic
It was before the endless layoffs, before the culture soured, before I watched talented people get walked out for no good reason. Now I don't even recognize the place. If you still believe there's something to respect here, I'd genuinely like to know what I'm missing.
Does anyone actually want WF to be successful?
This should be the next survey question. Why would you wish WF success? The bank's very publicized plan for success blatantly excludes thousands of US employees, after ruining or at least significantly disrupting tens of thousands of careers eo Tuesday for the past 5-7 years. They dont want you to work here any more.
Why would you, after all of the gaslighting, the fake reviews, the micromanaging office time down to 5 minute increments, the soon-to-be-increasing RTO requirements,
"Together we'll go far.......but not with you!"

Go ahead and downvote me, bootlickers! this is the truth and you all know it
Full on train wreck at PayPal
Enrique Lores has completely lost control of this company and it’s a complete train wreck with lower and lower output from employees. Everyone keeps talking about layoffs leading to sh-t productivity. Each day is worse than the one before.
So many bad decisions that only affect employees at the bottom
Can anyone remember the last time this place made a decision that actually helped employees?
Work/life balance?
I haven't had a life since I joined six months ago. Is this normal?
I'd welcome being cut
Centene has changed so drastically from the company I originally joined that I have no issues with leaving it behind. And I used to love my job. Sad what this leadership has turned it into.
The positivity challenge
Everything is always doom and gloom here. I'm trying to find something good to say to shake things up a bit, but I'm coming up short. Anyone got anything?
Cisco sees you as a number
That's not always been the truth, but it certainly is now. You're a line item. If they get rid of you, there's always someone else who will take your spot for less money. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how much you know. There's always somebody cheaper.
So many layoffs, and for what?
It's been round after round of layoffs, and I keep asking myself the same question: has any of this actually worked? The numbers might look good on paper, but morale is in the gutter and the best people are walking. The cuts aren't solving anything, they're just making the problem worse.
Intel running low on BS
Intel is running low of BS to try and attract money and pump up the stock going low, lower, lowest. Popcorn anyone ?
Maybe We Should Look at the Data
Another study just came out showing exactly what AT&T leadership apparently refuses to acknowledge - - Fully remote employees reported the highest well-being. Fully onsite employees reported the lowest.
8,000 employees studied and the study found no evidence that remote employees were less connected to their coworkers or company culture.
So what exactly are we accomplishing with 5x RTO?
We’re burning hours commuting, burning people out, ki-ling flexibility and forcing people into an office so they can sit on Teams all day.
And then leadership wonders why morale su-ks.
This isn’t complicated. If someone can do their job effectively from home, let them.
Stop forcing people into the office because you feel like it should make them more productive. The data isn’t backing you up.
But I’m sure big stink will find a way to explain why this study doesn’t apply to us.
TU is a complete joke
And if you're not looking for a way out, the joke's on you.
They can’t keep this up….
The way company is doing things unsustainable. OK, let’s use this SAP shut down as a reason to force more cr-p in so we will have so much product that we won’t be able to get through in September, and then it will be quarter close and it will start all over again last two weeks of September With the BS nos orders, that they will come up with some reason to justify sending in, just stop lying, and let’s stop playing this game, end dsd already. Its not working. Stop making up lies for sending in extra product, we’re all sick and tired of it…
Productivity
Well, Ramon and his boys promised a record year of “productivity”. That means the biggest year yet of changes and their hand in your pocket. Is anyone else walking funny yet?
"doing your job well is no longer enough"
Overachieve every quarter, showcase excellent results, customer satisfaction, retention upsell.
All that doesn't matter anymore, you want more pay ? You want a promotion ? Bullsh-t stretch assignments is the only way.
It wasn't like this before, we can thank NetApp for hiring the laziest, cr-ppiest leadership teams straight out of the gutter of other hyperscalers, starting with a horrible HR policy.
Oh and that is based on the idea that NetApp actually pays commissions. We on month 4 and still not information on payments. Finance is stretched, so they say.
Begs the question, is NetApp led by incompetent fools, or malicious id--ts.
Josh Warren With the Chainsaw
Welcome to the new FactSet to ring in the new fiscal year. Demolishing the company culture and we all just have to be grateful to not get laid off. This guy has been here for less than six months lol
Cult like atmosphere
I work in a flagship mall location
The best way I can describe this vibe in this store is cult like
And if you are not in the cult or have a mind of your own you are shunned
A bunch of people have quit and said once you go work someplace else, it’s very evident that belk is a cult
We lost two more people
I wish it was me. I really do. There's no way in he-l we'll be able to do all of our work without them unless we completely give up our personal lives. They think we're automatons who can keep doing more and more all the time. We're not. We're human and this will break so many of us.
Thank God
Thank god this garbage company is gone. The worst run company of all time!
You can give them the world and they will show you the door
Comment if you know coworkers who have done incredible work and have been shown the door. Toast to those fallen but definitely not forgotten!
Please lay me off tomorrow God
Wearing my pajamas inside and praying tonight that I’m so blessed to be laid off. Please please please
slack count - 28.5k - 5:06pm CST
very sad day, people I use to look upto got laid off, including my manager!
Culture Survey
Within the next two weeks. It will be a blood bath!
Inside Sales Worst Job at Dell
Dell sales can be one of the toughest / least enjoyable jobs inside Dell…You go first!
This is no way to live
My manager got cut. My colleagues got cut. I feel extremely nervous every minute, just waiting for my turn. I’ve been trying to find another position, but it hasn’t been going well.
Sorry for venting. I’m trying to stay strong, but it’s not easy.
At Elevance, making more money is a liability
Consider yourself cooked if you're paid higher than your peers.
Looks like it'll be wrapped up today
That would be a small mercy in this whole mess.
Sinking Ship
Based on recent organizational/Team changes throughout the company, recent executive departures, plans leaving states, hospitals/PCP going out of network ( Especially in NY) and the employee sentiment on this page, Centene feels like a sinking ship, and is sinking faster than anyone could have anticipated.
It's been two months since the divorce
Do you miss us yet?
The lost cause
I have no hopes for tomorrow. Dell has successfully gotten rid of the people who could fix things, and this leadership is only focused on their own pockets. There's no saving this.
whats common with Fiserv and Japanese airlines?
Japan Airlines was $25 billion in debt. Bankruptcy declared. 16,000 jobs on the line. CEO Haruka Nishimatsu didn't call a press conference.
He cut his own salary to $90,000 - less than his pilots. Canceled the executive dining room. Took the bus to work. No bodyguards. No reserved parking. No perks. While other CEOs drafted layoff lists from penthouse suites, Nishimatsu stood in the cafeteria line with ground crew. Workers noticed.
Morale shifted. In 3 years, Japan Airlines went
from the largest airline bankruptcy in history... to the most profitable airline in the world. It relisted on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2012. That wasn't a turnaround plan. That was one man choosing accountability over comfort. Lesson: Most companies don't fail because of bad markets. They fail because leaders protect themselves first.
It's not miracle that saved Japanese airlines. It's the attitudes of leaders that saved. Hope ppl notices.
Take Care
Heard from someone it will be all week which is so brutal. What a nightmare of a company. I’m sure I. Cruz over HR is sleeping just fine though.
Ireland Layoffs
What is going on?? Every week people are being tapped. Zero morale left onsite. Limerick has lost it's buzz entirely. Everyone fretting. You can feel the damn tension in the air! Dub & Cork are ye in the same boat??
What's life at Verizon like right now?
Lets hear it from each depratment
I’m hoping the best for you, whatever that is.
Tomorrow is approaching for those in the US, and with whatever you’re hoping to have happen tomorrow, I hope you’re going to be ok. I’m honestly sick to my stomach. We just had our son in April, and as the primary income earner of the house, I’m scared. Working in tech support feels like being a crew member on the Titanic. I’m mid 30s now. Not sure how to support a household and go back to school.
I know a lot of people are indifferent, or just want to it to happen. “Quit if you hate that much” has been mentioned a lot. And I’m definitely angry at the company. I would quit if there wasn’t anyone depending on me. The job market seems uncertain right now. My resumes looks depressing all of a sudden. It’s all exhausting.
Good luck tomorrow. Whatever you’re hoping for. I hope you come out the other side net positive.
Worst place to ever work wow
I endured 3 years on the core line with many promises of a role switch after my "2 year commitment" in the end it was all just a lie. Oh well.
Get your licenses, learn the ropes and get out while you can asap.
