#morale

I am not the OP but I agree, this needs to stay on top. The original is posted multiple times below. With nearly 15,000 views, it is definitely resonating with personnel. You don't have to be in HSE to know exactly what this poster is talking about.

I have worked for three companies before this one. Each had its flaws, but each, in its own way, understood something basic about decency. When I came to CVX, my fourth, I was told, again and again, that the culture was different. Healthier. Kinder. A place where people stayed because they were valued.

I believed it. For a long time, I wanted to.

Six years in, I can say without hesitation that this is the most hostile environment I have ever survived and I started on a rig in Midland, TX.

What makes it dangerous isn’t incompetence or chaos, it’s intention. Everything here is calculated. Smiles are worn like disguises. Praise is given only when it can be reclaimed later as leverage. If your work is good, someone else will quietly attach their name to it. If your ideas land too well, they stop being yours almost immediately.
And if you are noticed, truly noticed, by the wrong person, especially your boss, the consequences are swift and surgical. Threats are not confronted; they are dismantled. Slowly. Invisibly. By the time you realize what’s happening, your reputation has already been rewritten without you in the room.

Gossip is the real currency here. Cruelty, its favorite language. Personal lives are treated as public property, mined for weaknesses. An affair. A secret. A truth shared with the wrong person. Even something small, once discovered, is inflated until it becomes unmanageable. Stories grow teeth. Context disappears. Suddenly, survival feels like something you have to apologize for.

This is not a place where mistakes are forgiven. It is a place where they are archived.
I used to think cultures were defined by mission statements and values posted on walls. Now I know better. Culture is what happens in whispers, in meetings you aren’t invited to, in credit you never receive, in silence when you need protection.

If this place has taught me anything, it’s that the most dangerous environments are the ones that insist they are safe.

We aint used to this snow in the south. I was thinking, it is the same as our company. It is a storm we just ain’t used to at work that needs to be gotten rid of.

“That the rules-based order is fading. That the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer what they must.”

That last line draws from Thucydides, the ancient Greek historian and military strategist whose “History of the Peloponnesian War” has, for hundreds of years, served as the fundamental text on how to manage raw power.

This is how dxc is run.

As a former U.S. Bank employee with close to 30 years of experience and experienced unemployment.

Recognize

• You are owed nothing other than your last paycheck.
• Benefits are better than most other places.
• Your colleagues are friendly with you but are not your friends.
• Anyone including you can easily be replaced.
• The job market is tough even with high demand skills.
• Leadership acts on behalf of the shareholders. You should too.
• Age discrimination is real.
• RTO is not about you.
• Business has nothing to do with morality.

You should:

• Appreciate your paycheck
• Not complain…not to anyone.
• Learn and leverage AI.
• Use all available resources at U.S. bank and anywhere else to improve.
• Work hard and do your best while you’re employed.
• Side hustle or develop passive income streams.
• Stop being entitled.
• Not share your personal baggage or health issues.
• Not compare yourself to anyone.
• Know your worth and find a place that recognizes it.

I am not posting to say what is right or wrong l. All I can say is that it is better to su-k it up and collect a paycheck than having your pride on the unemployment line.

Many were marked below or meet some for the sake of bnys ulterior motive to get rid of people to avoid paying severance. So match that rating!!! Dont waste your time going above or beyond when they clearly don't care or appreciate you. most wont make it to get next merit so stop doing extra. Do bare minimum

Posting anonymously, just sharing what I’m seeing.

The recent cuts in the T-Mobile Technology org were deep. In some parts of the org, reductions were around 20 percent. Some very strong performers were caught up in it, including people I respect and consider friends. I’m not happy about that, and I genuinely hope those folks land somewhere better quickly.

At the same time, if we’re being honest with ourselves, this wasn’t random chaos, and it wasn’t just about cutting costs.

For years after the Sprint merger, the company carried massive overlap, silos, and layers of ambiguity. When an organization grows that quickly, some people inevitably disappear into the gaps. High performers noticed. Morale suffered. Accountability blurred. That kind of rot doesn’t fix itself.

This round feels different. It looks like a baseline reset, not a cosmetic trim.
Does that mean every remaining employee is suddenly a top performer? Obviously not. Anyone still inside can look around and name a few head scratchers. That doesn’t destroy the credibility of the reset. It actually explains it.

Structural RIFs come first. True performance sorting comes later.
With fewer people, fewer layers, and less cover, it becomes much harder to hide. Coaching gets real. Expectations get explicit. Outcomes matter. The next phase will not be about headcount targets but about contribution.

The message from senior leadership afterward was clear: this is an all-in moment. I took that as both a rally call and a line in the sand. This is not a season for quiet quitting or waiting things out. The bar is being raised, and everyone knows it.

For those who remain, this is an opportunity to help shape what comes next. Don’t get pulled into the constant negativity or the doomsday narratives. They’re loud, but they don’t move things forward. This is a moment to show up with integrity, collaboration, and execution. Those qualities are always in demand, and they open doors whether you stay at T-Mobile or move on to something new.

Painful resets are sometimes necessary to restore accountability, clarity, and forward momentum. And for those who instinctively roll their eyes at statements like that, assuming they are just another round of talking points, I’d encourage you to read the room. This one feels different. The actions so far make it believable.

I’m not celebrating layoffs. I’m acknowledging reality.

Support each other. Stay professional. Keep your integrity. The story isn’t over yet.

Wonder how Verizon will do getting through this big winter storm after all the head count cutting and workforce demoralization?

Guys have you ever been in a workplace where all the original coworkers have left and you are the only one who remembers season one like a walking histroy???
now it feels like season four with new charactors and wierd energy and everyone asks questions you learned in colege years ago??
inside jokes are gone group chats vanished and the one co worker who made it tolerable was written off and i definately felt it!!
So you stand there smiling while new hires are enthuastic and say they love it here even though it was better before the reboot!!!

you keep doing the job you know where everything is how things really work and no one asked for that so you just watch them learn the hard way and never recieve credit...
it feels odd to be the last extra who survived too many seasons here for the paychek and thier stories..

If you see me quiet at work i am not anti social i am mourning the original cast?!
.... season one was elite and season four is just showing up for the check.

I was so fed up with the work and the constant anticipation of losing my job that I'd lost any motivation to work extra-hard. And I constantly felt guilty about it. As if being a hard worker would've made any difference. We all saw today that being good at your job means literally nothing. Anyway, I'm off. Good luck to everyone. The only good memories are the nice coworkers I met along the way.

Taking the chance to work for this company was the worst experience of my career. I feel terrible for the amazing leaders we lost today, I am sure my role is next. Onward and upward.

Just a devastating day , esp in OH where rumors said 25% got cut. Lots of tears and sadness. Some people left for the day after they found out (don’t blame them). Hopefully those impacted get back on their feet soon. For those who survived , I think the question you need to analyze is will you be on the chopping block in next round?

Take care of yourself and don’t let this moment define you as it was out of you control.

Remember it’s not us vs each other. It’s the have vs the have nots, or top vs bottom.

The execs don’t have to badge in, they have dedicated offices, they don’t track hours, they negotiate their pay, and the list goes on.

What am I aiming higher for? Maybe a 2% merit increase if I’m lucky?

I’m so incredibly sick and tired of being told I need to do more while being offered less and less.

The whole MC is garbage and needs to go.

…that with the inclement weather expected to shut down the southern half of the United States this next week, rather than doing the right thing and allowing employees on the 3/2 hybrid schedule to just work remote, if there is a building closure due to inclement weather, it does NOT count as an in-office day and employees are expected makes arrangements to fulfill their in-office requirement!

If they think so little of employees during weather (safety) related office closures, what makes you think they have your best interests at heart for anything else? This is the straw that broke the camels back to motivate me to find a new job elsewhere…anywhere! Wow, just wow!

The pressure and job insecurity are literally making me unwell. I'm dealing with anxiety and health issues because of it. I hate that I need to stay here despite how awful it is.

I guess they 're hoping all of us will be willing to do jobs of three to four people to keep this place running. I really hope we prove them wrong.

There has been blatant favouritism going on since past two years within our team.

This manager has been dangling the carrot right in front of me in the name of opportunities, yet has never recognized me for my efforts.

All while pushing this pet on my a$$ to "learn my tasks"

What's that supposed to mean for me?

On the bright side, it's the last time I have endure Micky Onvural making d-mb cuts. Good luck, team!

I'm done going above and beyond. From now on I'm just doing exactly what's required and keeping a low profile. Putting in extra effort here has never been appreciated, so I'm stopping.

It went from a good place with a future to a sinking ship. Management only cares about the stock price, not fixing our old systems or keeping people. The original idea is dead and we're all just waiting for the next bad news.

Is Amazon ever planning to stop? What, does Bezos need another mega-yacht? What the he-l is happening to this place?

I’ve been around long enough to see multiple versions of Nike’s SLT come and go. This one is easily the worst. Even with natural turnover over the years, I’ve never seen a group this ineffective or directionless. There’s no real vision, no sense of how to move the company forward. Even the person at the top seems to be winging it. Hard to see how this ends well. The company feels beyond saving.

They only rely on layoffs and cost cuts and then they wonder why the stock keeps going down. Can we get some competent people in charge, please?

I have never in my life felt more contempt for an organization than I do for UHG. Their revenue comes from denying medical care and stealing from the federal government. Our CEO is like a Frankenstein-esque combination of Darth Vader and Mr. Burns. They treat their employees like s--- and outsource jobs to Indians who barely speak English and couldn't code their way out of a paper bag. UHG is basically a corporate sweatshop.

And let's not forget about the incompetent, soulless freaks who make up the executive team. You gotta love working under 12 layers of id--ts who spend their days not actually doing anything productive but sitting in meetings planning how to cut costs and squeeze more work out of their burned out employees. F this place.

Nobody should be surprised Blackbaud is getting worse and worse. You literally have no excuses. Find anything better as soon as you can!

I left years ago and it‘s the best decision I‘ve ever made. Hearing about Mike‘s latest email is awful. You only have yourselves to blame if you keep your head in the sand and think either things will get better or you won’t be affected soon.

Everyone has an expiry date. Don‘t let them trigger it early on their terms.

Anyone else up waiting for the impending doom?

The first flakes drifted down over the city, soft and silent, promising a weekend of snowdrifts, frozen driveways, and the kind of cold that makes you grateful for firewood and LED candles. Neighbors huddled indoors, swapping soup recipes and checking weather apps like fortune tellers.

But inside the office buildings, another kind of storm brewed. HR invites fell like icy pellets: “We regret to inform you…” As those words echoed, the blizzard outside was matched by a blizzard of layoffs and PIPs inside. Cubicles emptied of cheer faster than sidewalks, and the chill wasn’t just in the air — it was in the morale.

Employees joked darkly: “Winter is coming.”Some meant the snowstorm barreling toward the city. Others meant the quarterly layoffs and PIPs barreling toward their careers. Both were inevitable, both demanded preparation.

So, just as families stocked up on groceries and salt for the driveway, workers stocked up on résumés and LinkedIn updates. The fireplace crackled at home, while leadership churned out performance metrics and “action plans.”

And in the end, everyone learned the same lesson: whether it’s snowflakes or layoffs and PIPs, winter always comes — and the only way through is to be prepared, keep warm, and remember that spring eventually follows.

What a great life here!

Im sorry but that list was comical. So many people on it who dont know sh-t and don't do sh-t. Yet they got promoted to VP. How tf does this sh-t even make sense? Yet others are being looked over who earned those titles. FU BNY!!!! count your days.

I wouldn’t mind being on that list tomorrow.
I don’t like anything about this company. I’ve
seen my team(s) slowly fire onshore only
and slowly hire offshore only. Probably
speaking from a place of privilege, but not
having any more sleepless nights filled with
anxiety would be nice. At least until the next
j*b, that is.

and so it begins again

Spotted: a once-mighty corporate empire teetering on the edge of its own contradictions. After sweeping layoffs, the remaining employees are left juggling heavier workloads, thinner resources, and a shiny new “way of working” that—surprise—just isn’t working. The halls whisper of burnout, while inboxes scream urgency, and morale quietly slips through the cracks. Efficiency? Innovation? Collaboration? Please. When survival mode becomes the daily dress code, even the most loyal insiders start wondering if leadership is actually watching… or just missing the point entirely.

And now comes the latest twist: employee tracking. Yes, tracking. As if productivity can be measured by the minute hand of a clock and not the brilliance of a mind. Word on the floor is that time spent in the office will soon be monitored like wildlife in a nature documentary, proving once and for all that leadership’s priorities are spectacularly backwards. Because nothing says “we trust you” like surveillance, right? If they truly believe that counting hours instead of cultivating culture will spark performance, then someone clearly skipped the memo on modern work.

Kel B just sent out a message saying that we will achieve client success by using AI. People are getting fired left and right, morale is terrible, FT call center is getting closed and all they can say is AI. This is beyond stupid. She schedules her meetings almost every month and it's all about AI, that's the best you can do??

I had to vent I am finished.

Over the past several years, it’s become clear that my team has been operating under the wrong organizational structure. As a result, many of the processes we support have been sustained only through workarounds created by clinics and patients themselves. It’s difficult to see this department remaining viable in the long term if things continue in their current direction.

Leadership has played a significant role in the decline of the team. The current manager has not provided meaningful support or advocacy, and decisions often feel disconnected from the needs of the staff. The supervisory team seems more focused on protecting leadership than addressing ongoing issues, which has created a sense of frustration and confusion.

I genuinely miss my previous supervisor, who provided positivity and encouragement her departure highlighted just how stressful the environment has become. Since then, the culture has shifted dramatically, and the workplace has grown increasingly difficult to navigate. After more than seven years here, I’m actively searching for a new opportunity. The environment has become too toxic to remain in, especially after recent leadership changes. I wish the best to anyone else who is also looking for a fresh start.

This company feels like a team stuck with bad coaches who refuse to adapt, and the scoreboard proves it. You don’t win by wearing out your players. You win by putting them in a position to succeed.

Employees aren’t asking for less accountability. They’re asking for flexibility, which most of the market already offers. If five day RTO actually drove performance, we would see it in execution, morale, retention, and the stock. We don’t. We see burnout, attrition, and continued underperformance.

In sports, when coaches pile up losing seasons, blow money on bad deals, and lose the locker room, they don’t get more time to tighten discipline. They get fired. And we already have a losing record. Years of bad acquisitions, billions written off, talent walking, and a stock that can’t keep pace with the league.

Good coaches listen to feedback and adjust. Bad coaches double down, blame the players, and keep losing. Flexibility is the fix. Rigid RTO is the mistake. Until leadership accepts that, this team isn’t turning the season around.

It went from being a top place to work to feeling like they're actively trying to stress us out. The change over the last few years has been unbelievable.

It’s clear that the amount of greed here is at the top of the list. This company will fold within a few years.

Will MW be man enough to answer tough questions from his completely demoralized and angry work force? We all know he's not amd will just take soft ball questions and won't speak about how bad morale is!

The majority of the team is gone, and only a few people remain. I genuinely do not know whether being laid off or being left behind is the worse outcome.
