#morale

I left the company about two years ago during the layoffs because I had no desire to relocate to Arizona. I’ll admit, checking in on this sub is a total guilty pleasure of mine just to see the latest drama from that toxic corporate environment.
For those still there: Has morale improved at all, especially within IT? Curious to hear how things are looking these days.

We are officially in the doom spiral!

Um, when John?

You’ve been making this claim for a decade.

Maybe it’s not the market. Maybe it’s you.

Retire. Please. For the love of God.

I find it interesting the level of underestimating the overall workforce.

• We are vastly not as stupid as they think we are - we are capable of meeting a metric, appearing to be compliant while doing the bare minimum. We have no interest in helping them make money - keep members - why should we - they don't care about us - why should we care.
• I have been doing the bare minimum - equal to the merit I am anticipating - all I care about is getting a met standards eval - I have no questions, no ideas, no interest and can parrot what you want to hear to get you to leave me alone
• I don't need your health insurance - I am on my spouse plan - a blue plan out of another state who leaves us alone, no cold calls, no forced case management for using my coverage, responsive when we call with a question and get fast resolution. Not like this chit hole.
• I am tick tock ticking to be able to retire - maybe you should look at your workforce and check the average age - I am part of large group
• I have no goals, I am Mastered prepared so don't ask me about my education goals - I don't need a PHD
• I have the ability to fake interest and sound "good" on a moments notice.
• Many others that are not going to retire are actively looking and will quit at a moments notice -

You get the workforce you deserve - treat us like cr-p and we will act accordingly - and the reputation of this place is total trash.

Listening to this time-wasting town hall meeting and this CFO talking about making $50 billion-plus per quarter—and yet they can’t even give us an extra dollar for bonuses or raises. When you ask why, the simple answer is that we don’t have a budget. What a damn joke.

Many of employees in the US South Crude organization are going to quite quit here in the few weeks. XOM Corporate has f***ed around too much, taking heaping sh--s on the lower-level positions. Shall be interesting

This dude saying our benefits are competitive- what a joke.

Apparently the board of directors are “none”! Out stock is down again but yet we rec an email with him praising himself! Yes I give credit when do, he has been perfect at the debt ratio for the company for sure and below -0 on employee retention and more! It shows Dailey and hourly within the company! Who or what will be left to sit in those chairs in Plano when all said and done?!

I'm dealing with two directors who are making this place absolutely miserable. One of them keeps trying to claim my work as his own, like I won't notice or something, and the other one spends all her time tearing down what other teams accomplish just so his looks better by comparison. It's so petty and draining, and I'm getting sick of watching good work get buried just because some people can't stand not being the center of attention.

They turned constant anxiety and instability into just another Tuesday. Abusive leadership isn’t the exception, it’s the standard. You’re supposed to just accept it and keep going. That’s not okay and I’m getting really tired of pretending it is.

PayPal takes the top award.

Q3 2026 United Health Group reported $4.11 B profit (net income). Up 75% from Q3 2025.

But we’ll still be told at the next all employee show that we really didn’t do that well just so we don’t get our hopes up for a decent raise nor bonus.

Everyone is doing it, but they are only targeting a few. No warning. One strike, you're out. Fired, not laid off. Can't collect unemployment insurance. This company is awful.

Well that was a waste of an hour.

Imagine having to beg for a tablecloth to do community days or having to drive hours to meet a peer to get one. This company is a JOKE.

I get it, you’re rich. Don’t be an a--hole that you cut our comp to fill your paycheck

OPS All Hands (non-exempt) today in Malabar.
“Update on job structure and career paths in operations”

This isn’t going to be good.

I'm yet to work for a company with more cowardly leadership than this one. Tell us what's going on, for heaven's sake! We're all big boys and girls, we can take it. Being kept in the dark is ten time worse than anything we might find out, whether it's about layoffs or whatever else.

For Stankey and his cronies. The rest of us are sc--wed, though.

I recently noticed a role similar to mine posted on a job board. My current pay is at the lower end of the posted range, even though I've been in this position for years and have significant experience. Is this common at TIAA? I understand this happens everywhere, but between the high inflation over the last five years and receiving almost no raises for staying here, I can't help but feel bitter.

Curious, is retail miserable in other regions like it is in Beltway? Managing a retail store is already a nightmare in itself, but myself and other store managers can almost never get a straight answer on anything. We’re told in public spaces to reach out if we need something, but the reality is if we get a response at all it’s only to criticize us for asking for help.. We just hope for the best everyday and hold our breath until we get home.

Really grieving the upcoming loss of American jobs in our dept. It is increasingly harder to come to work and not just be SO ANGRY. Having to train the replacements for our jobs is just sick and dehumanizing. To show up, volunteer, and do your best to train the global team replacements over the last several months speaks volumes to the character and great work ethic this sick ticket company is losing. Disclaimer for the trolls: NO we can’t just quit as these jobs are harder to find for remote work.

GET OUT and start living.

All self entitled a**holes running erratically with their heads cut off… no sense of direction or purpose

Stephanie Ferris, CEO of FIS, makes about $21–23 million a year (mostly in stock). Since she took over, the company has cut roughly 25,000 jobs—from about 69,000 down to 44,000. The stock has fallen more than 50% from recent highs.The people still there who manage client relationships and keep the systems running are the ones generating the revenue. Upper management is pure overhead. Yet the cuts keep hitting the long-time employees who actually take care of clients, while those who remain say morale is low and they’re stretched thin.If her pay were cut to one-third, the roughly $15 million saved could hire several hundred software developers, business analysts, or QA testers—people who actually do the work and serve clients.Taking care of clients stabilizes relationships and can grow income. Experienced people who know the systems and solve problems quickly make clients more likely to stay and expand. Cutting those roles while protecting high executive pay does the opposite.

sometimes i have moments of clarity after grinding my a-s off on things where i look around and realize im like 1 of 2 people grinding their a-s off, and there's 10 people above us with better compensation, perks, work life balance, kinda just reporting the status of our work. Then theres people that report the reporting of the status of our work. Wtf?

how does a structure like this even survive any kind of audit for waste

and that's just medical!
How many of us are going to get a raise that covers that!
What a pathetic company.
100% agreed and confirmed. Opentext Execs are a bunch of aholes

It's failing in every way imaginable, including failing its employees and its customers. Smart people are already looking for a way out.

After many years of loving my job at Cigna I decided to retire this spring after seeing signs of no new projects, managers caring less and less and everyone living under the constant threat of being laid off. I still care about all my ex colleagues and friends and I wonder what the end game is here, is it to totally make all Cigna managers non local ( indian) and try anf replace the experienced workforce with HIH employees ? It will fail. Its already failing. 2026 had hardly any new projects and it sounds like 2027 will be the same. May the force be with you all and F HIH.

The hits keep coming, but this isn’t even rock bottom. Rumors are more losses in the pipeline. KFC is significant. Marriott was significant. 35 year Pepsi partners calling it quits is really bad PR for PEP and a major red flag. Poppi not going to save us. Alani not going to save us. Siete another bad purchase. If Ramon has his job through mid 2027 I’d be shocked. Ram needs to go as well. Reorg coming in next few weeks. If you think it can’t get worse, you are in for a big surprise. Outsourcing will continue, consolidation will continue, you will do more with less. You will not be rewarded with merit or bonus. Buckle down.

I have to admit, I'm really enjoying watching Oracle go down the drain. Don't get me wrong, I feel sorry for the employees who are still there. But as for this parasitic corporation and the leadership itself?...

Bring the pain! More popcorn! 🍿

What’s going on rims and mows , since Oct 2 ,where’s all the comments , give us the good the bad and the ugly, share the truth people!

The fabric of what made Verizon as Verizon is the Credo. It energized the V-Teamers to be the best in what we do and what made the company as it is over the years.

• Integrity: At the center of who the company is; built on honesty, ethical behavior, and trust.

• Respect: Valuing diversity, embracing individuality, and listening carefully to others.

• Performance Excellence: Setting high standards, prizing innovative ideas, and working as a team.

• Accountability: Taking personal and organizational responsibility for actions and never letting customers or coworkers down.

• Customer Focus: Building on a strong network foundation to deliver reliable services and superior experiences.

• Agility and Action: Fighting bureaucracy, acting fast, taking risks, and treating change and crises as opportunities.

V-Teamers use to care for V-Teamers. Today, it's every person for himself or herself. The Core Values don't exist anymore in the company's culture. With leadership changes over the years with Han and now with Dan, the Credo is a thing of the past. It's all about AI, shareholder value, office politics, etc. ... Smoke and Mirrors.

Toxicity and uncertainty are at an all time high. V-Teamers are waiting to be RIFed to get their severance packages and move on. The office environment is survival of the fittest; who can kiss a-s; it's not what you know or what one can do, but who you know; etc. It's sad, disappointing and disheartening.

Good Luck and Best Wishes, V-Teamers ... We deserve better and the grass is greener on the other side of the road.

I should feel betrayed, but I don't. I actually feel grateful for being given an easy out. I know the job market is far from ideal, but I'm also tired of having to worry about cuts all the time. The worst has now happened, so it can only go up from here, is my thinking. I wish all the best to all of you staying behind. The one thing I always liked about USAA is the people.

I have worked at Cigna for 10 years and can say the leaders are inept and ruthless. Toxic and stressful environment. Do more, get less. No appreciation and threats of layoffs. Best of luck to anyone impacted today.

Curious if any layoffs have started happening yet? Praying for whatever is next for everyone, those who are impacted with a layoff and those who have to stay and clean up the mess left behind.

They spend millions to present shiiitshowwws

Like it never stops, a bit here, a bit there, a bit this week, a bit next week. Then a massive one, and the cycle continues. It kind of feels like this? I find myself spending a ton of time on this website and it surely does not feel like I'll be able to peel off as every week some radical sh-t hits the fan. Not sure.

Walgreens is currently facing a shortage of store managers. This staffing issue has resulted in increased stress and demands on existing employees, as they are often required to take on additional responsibilities without adequate support.

Impact on Employees
Increased Workload: Existing staff may experience heightened pressure due to understaffing.
Employee Stress: Many employees report feeling overwhelmed by the expectations placed on them, which can lead to a challenging work environment.
Reasons for the Shortage
High Turnover Rates: The demanding nature of the job and unrealistic performance goals contribute to turnover.
Recruitment Challenges: Attracting qualified candidates for management positions has become increasingly difficult.
This shortage not only affects store operations but also impacts employee morale and customer service quality.
