In the last several years alone, we've had nearly a dozen rounds of layoffs and constant team shuffles. They took away stock options for most employees, cut a ton of benefits, and bonuses are a joke. At what point do you just admit the writing is on the wall? It feels like we're all just waiting for the next bad news to drop.

Really really good geologists, engineers…Talent is the real competitive advantage.

...of my former co workers and fellow ex-empkoyees.

Except for the current and former executives and board members. May you all rot in the he-l your soulless carcasses deserve.

I mean that's really it. Billion dollar company. Our manager didnt even gift us some measley points for Christmas.

if you work at belk in a store. do the absolute minimum. they dont care about you. why should you bust your butt for them? these people that bend over backwards for belk are id--ts. they think belk cares about them and belk and corpoorate does not.

If you go to speak up for ethical misconduct by a cabal of leadership reinforced by HR and Speak Up covers is up, what is the next move? Email Farley’s CDSID? Looking for answers. Every time we have holidays I seem to get punished for enjoying time off so I know the worst is yet to come.

I can’t sleep after being laid off by digi-wreck a few months back and not finding anything to replace my job. I could not buy gifts this year for my kids and we are all scared.. I tried to apply for fast food, retail, and construction jobs until I find something in IT and they said I was over qualified. We will keep trying. Please don’t forget those of us that were laid off and those that will be losing their jobs next year. It is really sad and very real. I wish they had just told us there was a high possibility of lay offs in advance so we could have searched before the layoffs happened but they didn’t trust their teams . My family does wish you all happiness this holiday season.

I work at 228-the villages Florida and it’s a 💩 show. It’s atrocious

Remote employees were once again showered with lavish gifts and people in Milwaukee got nothing. The only give TG the Grinch gave local employees was the gift of paying for more gas to commute, paying more for parking, and extra time in the restroom if you manage to find something to eat at the cafeteria. Bah humbug

I am sending warm holiday greetings and a big hug to all of our customers and managers like the HR leader helping us on this board. You have been with us and donated time and comments to help us. Some customers also hit them in their pocket book to stand with us. I am a single mom who feels disrespected and totally frightened and your help is really gratifying and loved by us all. Happy holidays to all of you who stand with us! I saw a nice email from the CEO wishing us happy holidays and it was nicely written. Maybe the grinch’s heart is warming and the changes we need in the changing of bad leaders will come in January. I am hoping for that more than anything.

Merry Christmas to my underlings,

Let’s be clear: your output this year has been underwhelming at best. You have not fully committed to inspiring and building better lives and communities; and frankly, it’s embarrassing. I need you to work harder next year so my bonus doesn’t suffer because of your mediocrity.

Despite the fact that none of you have earned it, I might throw you a 1% raise, and that’s a big might. That goodwill evaporates the moment I hear another word about the 5-day RTO. I’m beyond tired of the whining, the entitlement, and the endless complaining. Do your jobs, show up where you’re told, and keep your opinions to yourselves.

Go ahead and enjoy whatever time you have with your families now, because starting next week your time belongs to me. Don’t get comfortable, don’t get ideas, and don’t forget who signs the checks.

Sincerely,
Bill

The fusion of all positive energy were gone. It’s already in the mid downfall. Game over is nearing or is it just spawning? One thing I see, no diamond in Verizon. I ‘ll sit back and watch.

What’s the point of anything?

Did this post somehow catch your eye?

Is it making you stop to think? Feeling the need to comment?

Does it resonate with you some way?

Moral compromises?

Are you lying to yourself?

Deep down, gut feeling, do you know you are doing something wrong?

No fear of what is to come next?

Remember we are but a blip on the timeline.

Looks like you made it this far.

Maybe this post is the reminder or push you need to turn around your soul rot.

Is your soul rotting at U.S. Bank?

I would like express a Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all active and retired employees. Wishing you all a wonderful new year and hope that a turnaround of a once great company occurs.

Bandy the Clown can not even be bothered to send the “troops” a Christmas message. While they usually say nothing and spout BS not to make an effort is an all time low when I thought he could get no lower. Maybe him and the new CMO have decided that internal communication is no longer needed?

Since SB, DC and the EC can’t be bothered I will say it - Happy Holidays 🙂

It is my first year in DXC and I was surprised to hear there is no 13th salary, no bonus, NOTHING for Christmas. It is the first company I worked for that has such policy, all my colleagues have bonuses every quarter (or at least twice a year), here - nothing. Is it some kind of one time miss due to the hard financial situation or company policy not to care for their employees?

I should be excited about the holiday, but I can't stop worrying. Knowing more layoffs are coming, knowing they could announce them any day now… It's hard to feel any festive spirit when you're waiting for that kind of news. This whole situation just feels so wrong.

The people who could actually make a difference are the ones being let go, while executives keep making the same mistakes and rewarding themselves. The board should be stepping in, but it feels like no one’s paying attention. It’s exhausting to watch a company with so much potential get mishandled over and over.

As the former employee I could only to sum up that in 2025 O was the saddest place to work through the years.
Happy Holidays to you guys!

The odds of finding another job anytime soon are very low. Rationally, I should want to hold on to this one, no matter how bad it is. But the toxicity and manipulation, being overworked and underappreciated, the constant exhaustion, and having so little ability to make decisions that actually benefit clients have pushed rational thinking out of the picture. I just can’t keep doing this job if I want to be even remotely good to myself.

Turnover’s exploding everywhere else, but here things feel oddly frozen. I’m still looking for something better, but most of my team seems content to stay put. Makes me wonder whether they know something I don’t or if people are just exhausted.

It is so obvious State Farm is all image without no substance. What say you?

Schulman, Happy New Year 2026!!! What keeps you up at night???

Phil going to die with his company in the gutter.

Shareholders underwater.

Employees underwater.

ESPP hasn’t been relevant for 5 years given sharp decline.

Annual bonus was and will continue to be below 100%.

How embarassing.

That’s Verizon in a nutshell. After everything that happened this year, I don’t know a single person who’s not desperately looking for a new job.

It went from being a place where people actually collaborated to one where everyone is just looking out for themselves. The leadership at the top seems to have no real plan or vision to fix anything. There's no trust left, and the constant negativity makes it impossible to do your best work. I really miss how it used to be, and it's sad to see what it's become.

Between leadership that doesn’t seem to know where it’s going, middle management that can’t execute, and expectations that keep getting more detached from reality, the whole thing feels like a circus that somehow keeps getting louder instead of better.

To my colleagues here who like me are going through the perpetual misery that is employment with PepsiCo - at least for the next week or so - give yourself a mental and emotional break. I am working most of this and next week excepting for Xmas and New Years but save for those days - I want nothing to do with company. We all know this is one of if not the most incompetently run major corporations in the world but that is on the clowns who run this place. Not us. Thanks to everyone for providing a safe space to vent. Wishing everyone a happy holiday and prosperous new year with - hopefully- a new addition to your resume in 2026.

The overall atmosphere, the way teams are managed, and the direction from the top just keep declining. There's no big, single event to point to, but the slow grind of it all is wearing. You notice it in every new policy and in every decision that seems disconnected from the actual work. This place has changed so, so much in recent years, and none of it for the better.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday season. For those that want a package may you be blessed with one. For those of us that want to keep our jobs may we get our wish.

As a union represented tech my job entails turning sc--ws and mounting various sized/ colored boxes on customers houses and buildings. I’ve been doing it for several decades. When I’m unhappy or getting the shaft ( which is more frequent recently) the sc--ws get turned much slower and the boxes don’t go up as fast. Productivity? That’s a hilarious concept. Pride? Gone years ago. Loyalty? A concept for corporate cucks mo--ns. It’s a business transaction - I turn the sc--w and you compensate me.

Have the traditional Christmas layoffs started yet?

Yes, I’m that old. And it hasn’t been fun going through all the stages of things falling apart, only to reach a point where I can’t wait to cut ties. I hope that during the next wave someone notices that I’m over 50, therefore a zombie by current corporate standards, and finally puts me out of my misery. I’m not leaving without severance. I’ve earned it many times over the years.

After working for this company for over 30 years. I plan to have a lot of FAMILY time during this period.
I sacrificed valuable time just like many others and in return what did we get? Dancing Dan, what a joke he is. You'll soon find out.

We now know that nothing matters, so why do anything?

WRS had a huge Christmas party, they had raffles where apparently people won very expensive prizes. They also get free lunch everyday and I’m pretty sure that they also constantly have giveaways and raffles at the office.

Onshore? We don’t even get a thank you for working our butts of everyday, our thank you will probably be a lay off in a few months after being treated like garbage. Good thing the US jobs market is doing so great right now.

The new leadership is horrendous and it is absolutely disgusting what has happened to this company.

… and I said goodbye to two teammates today. What kind of company, (true) leader or decent person would set 6 days before Christmas as a departure date? Another example of the integrity vacuum that’s been slowly suffocating us since COVID. Not sure how these people can sleep, let along look themselves in a mirror. Guess a fat paycheck works wonders

My entire net worth is down!!!!!!

Then why make the employees miserable rather them treating them as assets. This shows we have money, just not to spend on employees welfare and salaries.

We were told today that our rep of 20 years of working at Verizon was let go. What type of bull sh-t is this? I would expect this from SeaWorld but not a company like Verizon.
