MBTA abject failure day 2 for the ft rto
Pike bumper to bumper
It’s all good really productive
Nothing to see here folks
Get a limo service so you can sit in it with your laptop don’t ya know.
That’s the answer.

They are rushing to cut headcount costs rather than looking at organizational functions and what people actually do and the value they add to the ecosystem and customers. I want to jump off this sinking ship. Let them deal with the remaining performance obligations and unresolved internal customer issues without enough human headcount.
Yes this is just a rant and may be im wrong.

And why

Funk & Wagnalls define Morale as:

"Shared confidence and enthusiasm among group members working toward a common goal".

On the Fujita scale...where do you think Dell fits in the overriding corporate world?

Cant wait to hear about the collapse of bny once they are done sh-----g on wfh staff and everyone else who actually shows up for works and not only does their job but actually knows it . Never heard of a company willing to shed people who can keep you successful for a bunch of lazy ba----ds we all see being hired now who have no interest in working at all

Financial accuracy 99%
Payment accuracy 98%
Process accuracy 97%

But no bonuses….

Layoffs went from being an occasional thing, to being once or twice a year, to being a quarterly thing, and we're now at basically monthly layoffs. What's next? Weekly? Daily? Why don't they just lay all of us off right now and put us out of our misery once and for all?

please give us more hours.....please tell your VPs we need more.....id love to make yout wage ...for simply sitting there...not knowing whats going on....employees are mad....CUSTOMERS...really mad...letting people give a budget, that doesn't know the store...smh...for what it's worth, a 35yr vet...U GUYS ...YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE NOT HAPPY!!!...SERIOUSLY thank you

Kiewit Technology Group is in a downward spiral. The latest layoffs follow the major cuts from November 2024, making it clear the organization is unstable and still trimming aggressively. The continued push to offshore work signals that domestic technical roles are being devalued and phased out.

Despite Kiewit’s massive backlog, KTG is choosing to reduce investment in its own people. Anyone considering a role there should understand the environment is volatile, morale is low, and long‑term job security is questionable.

I shared I took the vsp around the last working day and the vibes were hella weird. I mean it was kin of awkward our last day. Some people leaving due to vsp..some got Rifd ..supervisor got RIFD wasnt even there the last day.Did any of you get a vibe that your team was envious or ignoring you once you finally revealed you took the vsp or found a new job 🤔?Its unfortunate what the ISP people are going through. It just revealed how noncohesive that team really was.

Even if you work your rear end off here it goes unnoticed. They will lay you off after many hard years. I missed many weddings, births, and funerals working here. Wish I could get those years back.

They want us miserable to quit on our own. Layoffs are too expensive. I'm betting you that's their plan.

Luckily, we're a united front and telling them to go fu-k themselves (in much nicer terms, of course). We were already overworked and now they want more from us? He-l no.

Since company is going bad to worse, no matter what they do, though ppl slog 10 hours in person, no merit ,,no promotion only problem after problem, remote work is one hope, lets see

I liked working here. Now I'm always miserable. What was the turning point?

If they pull the same bs “we can’t afford to give raises this year” but will NOT do a layoff, people might revolt.

Fidelity openly says they have to make decisions based on the fact they know most people will just accept poor treatment because they know no one is going anywhere. The first time the head of WI told me, I was trying to be a corporate shark. Now that I’ve been here long enough to understand my career is over, it makes me sick.

With inflation being 20% higher now than the last time my department got raises, we get it. No one pays a living wage anymore. But at least stop having record profits years with stockbrokers on government assistance.

AI PROMPT:

Please create layoff plan for ATT to make it profitable. Trim out unnecessary management levels and identify areas of C-level management that needs replacement to boost employee morale.

Since we were told to expect another round of layoffs in 6-8 weeks time, morale and motivation has collapsed. Don't know which is worse- spending Christmas with family without a job or staying on and watch a clueless leadership sink the company even further and get laid off next year. Thank You EL.

There are signifficant layoffs happening, but no official communication has been ever shared, what is the percentage? It's horrible that people I work with just dissapear.
Standard tasks take now not weeks but months. Several roles managed by one employee for the same salary. Rinse and repeat.

my finance avp told us she doesnt care when we log on or log off to work. she said it just matters that we get our work done. she doesnt do work and her directors don’t either. you can be we arent working

So now we have a hiring freeze again as well as possible layoffs? Another push to come back 4 days a week (yeah it’s been policy for a while but now being tracked like elementary school students)? How can we possibly expect to retain talent and become a better company when morale is at an all time low?

How has BMC declined so much in only a few years? I’ve worked here for decades and enjoyed it. I am thinking of retiring early and jumping ship. Is this everybody’s experience or just my luck? I couldn’t imagine being mid to early career and spending the next 20 to 30 years like this….

Next week I'm going to kick back to C+ level work. No more A+ overachieving. Forget circle of excellence, aiming for the triangle of mediocrity - badge in, meet expectations, go home at 5 pm.

some of the SVPs so long with the company makes So much money & the new ones hired recently in tyber kelurity or dinfo jack are m
M plus assets. All they tout & show arrogance on diedentity & sacess dmanagement or drought dmanagement. in private these so called dooders are nothing but unprofessional, arrogant unhumans.

Face it. Very few things there aren't.

I've seen many people make huge mistakes, and I've seen who faces the music and who doesn't. It's not about the severity of the error, but about who made it. Some people are untouchable. They can do no wrong and they know it. When people say nobody is safe, that's not true. There are favorites who can do anything and still avoid being reprimanded not to mention laid off. Knowing the right people pays off here, with interest.

New mechanical forced overtime policy of the week. You live here now! If you’re good and the director likes you, you may get to see your kids three hours a week (but only if they come to the shop). Now get to work you slaves! Oh, and your union said it’s okay!

This week has been the perfect example that we do not matter. One coworker passed this week and all of fraud has continued on with managers acting like everything is normal. Shame on you leaders we are humans.

My god, can this little troll do anything right? The stock is a yo-yo now and we’re at all time lows. A monkey could run this place better.

Did you heard that company is very surprised by token cost due cursor usage ?
Now they will cut it off, while leaving lots of “engineers” incapable of writing code sitting on their as--s because they can’t do anything meaningful by themselves.
People who are capable already left or leaving, it will be hilarious seeing MI crashing in few next months.
Good luck Emma, you gonna needed it :-)

Project Exodus is about to live up to its name.
What started as another corporate initiative may end up becoming a mass migration of talented people out the door.
Enjoy the short-term “profit” from squeezing Sales compensation. You may hit your Q3 and Q4 numbers. You may put it on a slide, declare victory, and tell everyone the strategy is working.
But somewhere along the way, a company built on salespeople, relationships and customers became a company run by bean counters. And while the spreadsheet may look better today, you've set something else in motion: the exodus.
People are packing their parachutes. The best will jump first. And when they go, they’ll take years of experience, customer relationships and institutional knowledge with them—the very things that helped build this company in the first place.
That’s the sad part. There are a lot of incredibly talented people here who carried this company through good times and bad, and customers who depended on them.
So to everyone getting ready for the jump:
They may take our bonuses. They may take our commissions. But they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!
🪂 Good luck with the jump, everyone. See you on the other side.

Prepare yourself fellow Cengagers. Just when you thought the layoffs were over for the year - surprise! Get those resumes updated and expect the axe to fall again. The scent of cuts is in the air. The fun never ends! Cengage is bleeding talent by the boatload and the hacks in charge don't care. Slash slash slash! It's a rush to the bottom. It's the Cengage way. IYKYK. What lies ahead is worse than anything Freddie, Michael, Jason, Chucky and Pennywise can do. The Hannibal Lecters at the top have no remorse in making the company worse by the minute. Keep cutting the workforce and no one knowledgeable will be left to run the store. Gross dereliction of duty anyone? Shouldn't sales be better this time of year? Are educational institutions losing confidence in Cengage? Will Cengage even be around in the future to honor existing paid digital product fulfillment?
Artificial Intelligence could do a better job managing the company than those at the top because there is certainly no intelligence coming from these short sighted decisions. The competition doesn't have to do a thing when top leadership is destroying Cengage from within. It's like watching a train wreck in person. Great job! IPO anyone? Nobody is going to buy a sinking ship. Strap yourselves in and grab the popcorn folks. It's going to be a bumpy ride!

To be honest, I don’t give a flying fu-k about picking a corpo side. But for those of you who were around under Greg Foran’s leadership, I’m genuinely curious about your take.
He recently brought over former Walmart execs Nate Faust and Mark Ibbotson. Are these guys just corporate bootlickers, or are they actual leaders who know what they're doing? How did they shape the culture, what was it really like working under them, and what kind of bullsh-t or improvements should we expect?

It seems they are already outsourcing our engineering jobs within the next couple of years but I suspect that was in the works before Greg came along. Moral is at all time low and culture is becoming non-existent.

My friend got laid-off on Tuesday. Worked 12 hour days, managed her team in several parts of the country, always got an exceeds. Rarely took time off. Single mom with 3 little girls in school. Don't waste your time climbing corporate the ladder, spend time with your family, take your PTO.

Nothing like hearing the EVP of LP saying your scorecard is going to su-k this year. I know it boosted my morale and desire to perform quality work.

No raises. No promotions. PTO requests denied. Such a great place to work.

I can't seem to get rid of the knot in my gut even now.

Every single day it's something new. I'm tired.
