#morale

I'm so tired from doing too much work for no reward that I'd see being cut as a blessing. Bring it on, I say.

Getting rid of sabbaticals? What the expletive are you thinking? F this place and it's "benefits"

Kyndryl is a terminally ill patient dying by a thousand cuts awaiting for someone to pull the plug and take it out it’s misery.

The potty training by chief crybaby Turdledge is the last bowel movement before its lights out.

Especially those going through a rough time. I hope you all find decent jobs soon. And for the rest of us - don't try to prove yourself. It never matters in the end. All you'll be left with is the regret of working so hard, sacrificing your time, and giving your life to a company that never valued it.

Is anyone’s noticing their department is going broke? India team is only growing larger but we are all of a sudden out of funds to host any events, cater , etc. Oh & dont forget the .1% raise that we are all anticipating.

We work for a greedy, immoral company. I will openly admit that I am too nervous to move after 5 years. I am a coward.

This new comp plan is the final straw for me. And before you knock sales people, remember that 40% of our salary is at risk and we have no control
over what ships.

I never imagined working for a company that I now want to see fail so badly. I never thought it was possible to wish the worst on JC, MD and the rest of those pasty-faced, smug money-grubbers and their rubber-faced spouses.

I said clown shows 6 yrs ago. now its truly become one. Congrats all! we did well.

The time has come for Dell employees and the company to realize the future won’t include either

Today’s layoffs were brutal and inhumane. Lost really good friends and colleagues. Entire teams were wipe down in the name of cost cutting where CEO is going to enjoy millions in bonus and salary hike.😔

Not sure if it is just my team/ leader or it is coming down on all other teams / Fidelity as a whole but there is an obvious added micromanagement since the start of the year. Whoever is dictating this will be looking at higher turnover ratios before the end of the year as the associates are humans not machines. Nothing enjoyable or rewarding about working here at this point. Sad to see this happening at what has been a great company to work for until recently.

Not sure how you guys think

This “All Colleagues Call” is a joke. GK’s tone alone was offensive, her words were so contrived and calculated. They are laying off in small groups to avoid having to report the true numbers due to Warn act! They think we are d-mb and we are not. This bank is no longer loyal to anyone.

No good news anywhere, messages do not bring any clarity nor calm and employees continue to be pushed and punished... Past and current changes and transformations are not working, we continue to move as a low-cost (cheap) company and these are the results we'll maintain (low cost/cheap). I really think this company deserves more than this

Focus on everything but solving real problems.

I’m now being pressured to take on the work of another team that was let go when my own team was recently cut by more than 50%. I already can’t deal with the extra work left by the people who were let go on my team, let alone try to help another team in an area where I have no idea what they do. I feel bad they don’t have the people they need to do the work, but frankly, that’s not my problem and I can’t fix it for them. I’m so tired of these “leaders” laying people off and expecting us to just magically make up for it.

Can we stop these micro layoffs and just do a big one and call it a day? The anxiety of the impending due does not help morale.

Every one of the leaders should ask THEMSELVES this question and think about the “deposits” they’re making with the employee base. You have no “money in the bank” with the employees since you fuxed everyone over with 5 day RTO.

I can always get behind a culture that pushes you hard to grow. I can’t deal with one that disrespects everyone and belittles anyone based on rank. It’s stupid. A job here isn’t worth any dollar amount. Bill is a creepy dude. Why work here? What does that say about you? I’m out of here.

Disappointed in your performance. See, I have expectations too, and you have not met them. I have quietly been evaluating, showing grace, providing feedback to no avail. You are formally moving to a PIP and I will be severing this relationship if your performance as my employer does not improve. I’ll be documenting your progress towards the desired weekly. Signed, your hard working humble employees.

I never expected all these recent decisions and developments to lead anywhere good. I’ve finally landed an interview for a decent job. It’s not much of a pay raise, but it looks far more stable. I hope it works out, because staying here just waiting for things to get worse until the axe falls is a disservice to yourself. I’d recommend putting your own interests first. Maybe the rumors about immediate massive layoffs aren’t true, but they are coming. Oracle has become a hot mess, and we’re the ones who’ll end up holding the short end of the stick.

Just came on board. Dang, what a bunch of sad sacks moping around here. That's too bad. Here in Eagan and in the old 3M site it's like a morgue. Nobody says "Hi". They are afraid of their own shadow. Oh, well. Maybe some new blood can liven this place up!

With all the layoffs and people quittin... and morale in the absolute toilet, does anyone in the ELT really believe that this ship isn't sinking further and further with every layoff? How many fingers are left to stick in the di-e.

How are we handling the no pay increase again this year? For context I have gone above and beyond and done Jessica’s extra projects and more. There isn’t anything more that I could have done to be a role model employee.

1. Sulk
2. Call out “sick”
3. Refuse all additional work
4. Other - open to suggestions.

I’m an ISAE2, and our pay was cut to $19.61/hour with a 50/50 quota plan. This company keeps moving backward.

One of our strongest Delivery teams were all transfered to contingent workers on Friday without any notice or consultation. Now they work for CapGemini.
I can only imagine how this is impacting morale. My heart goes out to this team, you constantly produce amazing results and get the job done. So sorry

I am just trying to understand what positivity anyone still has towards their job or this company after the constant hits to morale.

My team is tired of writing quarterly check- ins and monthly practice reviews. They work hard and spending all this time is getting to them. I had a few just not submit one this quarter despite my weekly reminders. Can’t say I really blame them.

Is Chevron really freezing raises [not receiving for 2025 performance] or will we find something out this year during goal setting for the 2026 performance year? I hope this is just a nasty rumor - throwing it out here for serious replies.

And yes… mgmt is making it difficult for people to continue to love the chevron they joined years ago - we can’t change that.

New Year new round of layoffs. It was done very quietly and most are afraid to even talk about it. We all know more are coming. The push to rely more on dealers, cutting sales offices, service, and warehousing. Moving towards direct to customer aka drop ship. Jobs being sent overseas for cheap labor. Push for automation and focus on using AI. All geared to eliminate as much of the US workforce as possible. Then act surprised that moral and engagement are so low. Upper Management focused on stupid rules like camera on for calls and more in office days while sales numbers tank and existing customers become more angry. How much time and money wasted on Kickoff meetings and surveys just to sp-t in the face of the workers. Just holding on until I get a new job. It's a sinking ship, man the lifeboats.

There is no US IT left. These rounds will finish us off. The only good news is there is a rumor we heard that David is out looking for a new CIO again. We knew that had to come after the latest mess last month. Maybe the new one will rebuild the function back on shore. Where it belongs. The clowns in India keep sending useless code. Do you see the same? We re-do their work again and again.

Rick had zero cred with me. He lost more.

Let's be real: we're livestock to management. We're here to be worked, monitored, and eventually culled when we're too expensive. Our "value" is fixing old mistakes to avoid penalties. The goal is shareholder value, not employee well-being or customer service. This is the game, and we're losing.

Veteran employee here. Never in my 20+ years here have I felt so stressed, so anxiety filled, so burnt out, and so diminished. Leaders at the top continue to use smoke in mirrors with what seems like government classified secrecy, while all the leaders below them walk the halls with their heads down looking at every employee like their now a disease of the company. It used to exist only in pockets where bad leadership existed. Now even the best of us are walking targets for some unknown reason.
I disagreed that we had a morale issue a year ago in the first Townhall. This year, even those on their first day feel it.
When this all blows over in a few years, like it always does, the best will have survived and those who chose to throw out basic humanity will be the ones hanging their head. This has gone far enough!

Is this really a thing or it’s just another way of dragging people’s morale and push you to leave without getting severance? How long are we supposed to continue waiting for the crumbs?

Manager shared that they were told if the give an exceeds they have to give an IM. It has nothing to do with performance. Literally you have to pick out of a hat. So my take is if layoffs and reviews have no basis in reality then why try? Do the minimum to not get fired but after that forget it. Seems like a bad way to run a successful company but oh well.

It is not alive…
it is not dead…

It is just rotting.

Hope you all have a great weekend. Hopefully you survived this last round. But I expect several/many more this year.

There is significant pay compression happening across nursing teams.
New hires, including nurses with minimal experience and recent graduates, are being hired at higher rates than long-tenured nurses.
In many cases, these higher-paid new hires are being trained by the lower-paid, more experienced staff.
Leadership has also communicated that there will be no raises this year.
This leaves experienced nurses with no mechanism to address the gap.
It’s worth asking how sustainable this model is for retention and morale.
What leverage, if any, do employees actually have here?

....drum roll please.....

Chris Cartwright!!!!!!!

Today marked six months since I was laid off.

I realized it in a strange way. I got in my car to grab coffee and, out of pure habit, drove straight to work. I was already pulling into the parking garage when it hit me: oh sht, I don’t work here anymore. I turned around and drove home.

When my wife asked where I’d been, I told her I was just driving and thinking. And I was. I thought about the people who were laid off before me, some of them were ten times the employee I ever was. They didn’t lose their jobs because of performance; they lost them because of bravado, politics, being labeled “too much,” or because the wrong VP didn’t like them. Most of them have landed great roles at other Fortune 100 companies.

My wife suggested I reach out to them, to call or email and ask for help. I told her I’d be surprised if any of them even responded. The truth is, several of them had reached out to me when they were let go, and I stayed silent. I didn’t want them back then. They felt like competition.

A lot of the people who stayed weren’t chosen for the quality of their work, but for who they knew, and honestly, being female or non-white didn’t hurt either. I’ve reached out to friends still at Chevron. No response. I’ve reached out to people who were laid off before me. No response.

I call them friends, but maybe we never were. Maybe we were just people using each other until there was no value left, and then we were discarded.

Right now, I feel like I’m walking alone, and it feels terrible. I made a lot of money as a 26+, but it’s lonely at the top (if you call 26+ the top), and it hurts to know people are calling you an a--hole behind your back. I tell myself “fu-k them,” but it still hurts.

It really hurts. I keep wishing I had been a genuine friend instead of just a company friend. I wish I had lived out the faith I claimed, instead of being a “corporate Christian,” saying the right things for appearances. Lately, everything hurts. I’ve done a lot of soul-searching, but I still feel empty.
