Not working here!

🍿🍿🍿

I heard respected and tenured employees escorted out today. Why do they do that to good people. You poured your heart and soul to this company, gave up most of your life serving those who serve, and then one day, escort you out of the building, in shame.

Do we have a peoples representative in India. We thought HR would help, but he is so isolated that we don't if he atleast the right person.

We see zero motivation from him, no office improvements, facilities are literally freezed. Cherry on top is we don't even have proper stationery available

I see posts here debating if there is going to be an EOY layoff, we can’t know for sure, but I think that points to a bigger morale problem. Associates have lost faith in the future of the company. I’ve been here for almost a decade and never seen this many people genuinely hopeless going into the next year. Almost everybody I know at T Rowe has told me that they’ve looked for a new job, but the market is so sh---y. I’ve even had people tell me they wish they’d be part of the next layoff just so they’d have the time and energy to search for a new job. Some have been lucky and secured another job, but I think most are just waiting the market out. I don’t think things are going to get better here, especially with all of the initiatives related to Next90 emphasizing productivity and efficiency. Personally, I’m just waiting to get my bonus then search aggressively for a new job in 2027.

Every day gets more and more painful under this old geriatric clown who ran a printer company into the ground.

Anyone else excited for this years home for the holidays round? I’m looking forward to it like the Super Bowl. Hopefully we get rid of some of these clueless and lazy engineers and leaders that do nothing!

Genuine question. I've not worked at DXC for long but ive never worked for a company where most employees are just so deflated. Theres always some in all businesses but ive yet to meet anyone who has a single positive thing to say about DXC. The only thing DXC offers in a measly paycheck and if the town halls are anything to go by noone senior leader seems to want to address the topic of the slave wages they pay.

What caused the share price to tank by over 70% in less than a decade. And the company to always seem to be laying people off and in the short time ive been here every 2 months there's an announcement of senior leadership change.

How has this all happened???

it's so frustrating, humans need stability to be productive and this is so crazy right now. i know it'll be over soon but rest assured they will come up with something even worse and we'll have to worry again. it looks like the entire economy is in this space right now, even the companies that are valued in trillions are doing the same thing.

i am not sure that this is how life should be lived. sometimes i feel i should have started a business of my own from the get go, no matter how good or bad it would turn out to be - at least i'd be sane.

Would you still stick around.

Imagine being the reason someone quits their job. They came to work to earn a living and pay bills, but your toxic behavior made every shift so miserable that leaving felt like the only way to find peace.

How many toxic leaders can you count?
I can count 5 off hand.

Most of the people I see left are either old timers waiting it out for retirement who remember when WF used to be a decent place to live and hate it here or people who would desperately like to leave but can’t find a job and hate it here.

Based on who I’m seeing hired I don’t think Wf is a exactly destination for top talent and most of the people leaving are the ones with better options so you’re only left with the ones hating their job. Sounds like a great culture right?

I mean, seriously man. What a waste.

I've been here for over a decade. Never before did we have rumors and actual layoffs happening all the fu--ing time. How are we supposed to remain sane when we can't go a week without learning about more cuts?

It's like they don't care how bad things are. As long as they are getting paid, everything is perfectly fine in their world.

This re--rd CEO can’t even lay people off properly. He is just creating anxiety and completely destroying productivity within the teams. I’ve never seen a CEO this bad and I’ve worked at 4 different Fortune 100 companies in the last 21 years.

Again what do these people do all day? They never answer questions. Keep you in hold in chat so long that chat asks are you still there. On top of that I reached out to the Assoc Manager the guy never even replied. Guess how many levels up in the chain there are? 6! Sr Mgr IT, LD, AVP, VP, SVP, EVP. WTF?????? Whyyyy so much management and the bottom feeders can’t even do their job correctly.

Why are noninterest expenses only down 1%?

The answer: the great su-king sound that is Wealth and Investment management. Higher "revenue related" compensation (i.e. sales bonuses). The efficiency ratio of every other business is good; the efficiency ratio of WIM is 80, bringing the efficiency of the whole company down.

We are all getting pressed so WIM can su-k corporate resources.

I cannot believe how bad it is here. I came in like the other newbies, thinking we were going to kick a-s and make the company better. I was one of the many newbies that criticized the current coworkers. I am dreading that sh-t because this place is more fu---d up and misled than I thought. I am already floating my resume.

Knowing layoffs are coming and having to wait for it to happen is pure torture. I'm barely getting any sleep and my productivity has plummeted. I wish it could already be over.

When did we turn from a company that cared about its employees and preserving institutional knowledge into whatever it is we're today?

I was laid off from Citi after 10 years with the company.

I knew layoffs were coming because they announced back in March that our larger group would be affected.

We even started training our replacements in April... but nobody told us exactly when we would lose our jobs. Then I got the call while I was on vacation with my family. I was on a plane heading home from Colorado, sitting next to my 7-year-old son who was laughing at videos on YouTube while my husband was working on expense reports. And there I was trying not to cry in front of everyone. We had just spent an amazing vacation together, climbing a mountain and enjoying the outdoors, and suddenly all I could think about was losing my job. After 10 years at Citi, this is how it ends.

What makes this so frustrating is that we were actually training the people who would replace us. Think about that for a moment. You spend years learning your job, helping the company, and building a career, and then they expect you to teach someone else how to do your work before getting rid of you. I started working at Citi 10 years ago after working as a bartender.

During those years I bought a house, raised my two boys, and built a better life for my family. My oldest is now 18 and my youngest is 7. I was proud of what I had accomplished and thought I had built something stable. Now I'm sitting here wondering what comes next. I know a job shouldn't define who you are, but after spending a decade with one company, it's hard not to feel like you've lost a big part of your life. I never expected to feel this lost over a job, but here I am.

The strange thing is that I knew this was coming, yet actually hearing the words still hit me harder than I expected. I'm worried about finding another job, keeping things normal for my children, and figuring out what I want to do with my life now. Part of me is even thinking about changing careers completely, maybe going into nursing or doing something that feels more meaningful. I've been through difficult changes before, and I know I'll get through this one too. But right now I'm disappointed that after 10 years, Citi couldn't even wait until I got home from vacation to tell me I was no longer needed. I spent so much time building my career there, and now I have to start over. I just hope whatever comes next allows me to spend more time with my family and worry less about whether my job will still be there tomorrow.

Peace out.

I was recently laid off from Deloitte after working there for 6 yrs. The whole thing ended in a 10-minute call with some partner I barely knew and someone from HR. Six years of working hard, staying late, and putting the company before almost everything else... and they got rid of me in 10 minutes.

I went through six busy seasons, worked thousands of hours of overtime, and spent most of my 20s sitting in front of a computer trying to meet deadlines. I missed birthdays, family dinners, and trips with friends because there was always something urgent that needed to be finished. I kept telling myself things would get better after the next busy season, but they never did.

There was always another deadline, another client asking for something, and another late night at work.

What makes this even worse is how much my health suffered during those years. I was always stressed, barely getting enough sleep, drinking too much coffee, and eating whatever I could find because I didn't have time for a proper meal. I stopped going to the gym and hardly had time for anything outside work. I remember opening my laptop late at night because something needed to be done before morning. I thought if I worked hard and showed the company I was dedicated, it would mean something. Now I realize I was just another employee they could remove whenever they wanted. I've also been reading comments from other people who worked at Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PwC, and so many have similar stories. Some spent years working crazy hours and still ended up losing their jobs. One person said they were laid off after coming back from maternity leave, and another said they had a great performance rating and still got cut. It really makes you wonder what all that hard work is for.

The strange thing is that even though losing my job was a shock, part of me actually feels relieved. For the first time in six years, I don't have to worry about utilization numbers, client deadlines, or checking emails in the middle of the night. I'm sad that it ended this way, but I'm also tired of living like that. I gave Deloitte some of the best years of my life, and I can't get that time back. I'm done with the Big 4 and don't plan on going back. I want a normal job where I can finish my work, go home, spend time with family, and not feel guilty about taking a day off. Losing a job after six years is difficult, but losing your health and personal life because of work is even worse. I just wish I had figured that out sooner...

I have no insider information but another week and I keep seeing people across the board in the organization (mostly those who are financially independent or can afford to retire) writing good bye messages on LinkedIn or announcing retirement. 3 new cases again today, and I am one guy.

I understand that they over hired during the pandemic and need to slim down. However, this method of cutting people and pushing them to call it quits is going to hurt this company in the long run. We are being asked to operate as if some people who have been here for a while are not going to be around in Q1 next year. I don't think they'll need to do another RIF, they're counting on people quitting voluntarily.

Please share these types of developments of you are seeing them around you as well.

My food bills have doubled from going into work every day now thanks for the cut in pay it’s great.
I don’t want to see my gasoline cc that should be coming this week
It’s almost criminal what they’ve pulled on us.
There just does not have to be a need for every single employee to come in every single day.
Oh wait.
I forgot only a few locations (boston) are getting the ROYAL SC--W JOB!!!
Wow how to totally disenfranchise 5000 employees.
Do you think your wealthy clients know you’re sc--wing the very people you depend on to carry the Fidelity torch?
I think not.
😡

I’m deeply concerned and disheartened as I look across the current landscape at Crown. My manager and director have each remained in their roles for more than 20 years, and I understand my immediate manager has been in the same position for over 25 years. From where many of us stand, there appears to be little to no opportunity for advancement or promotion. It is discouraging to see such long-standing stagnation while many of us continue to work hard with no clear path for growth or progression. I can’t help but wonder whether others share this same concern about what feels like a serious organizational issue.

Talk about a horrible way to roll this out. Everyone know is stressed, on edge, and completely in the dark about what’s coming, all the way up to the VP level.

The mental health toll experienced by the employee base is significant and the company the hit to morale will be significant, even for the folks that stay.

Nothing confirmed, of course, but the rumors about November and December are making their way around. People keep saying that strong performance is the best protection, but after everything we've watched happen in the recent rounds, I'm not sure anyone can promise that.

I'm sure you'll be able to do so much better somewhere else.

I've noticed more members are telling me they longer have UHC DSNP. More members keep hanging up on me. My numbers are dropping due to no fault of my own. I can tell the members are not happy. Especially since they now pay for things that they didn't pay for before. Haven't heard of any OAH Care Navigators being laid off but don't see how that can last for long.

Every round of layoffs has made me less willing to go above and beyond. I've reached the point where doing my job just well enough is enough.

Tells you all you need to know about the state of things.

Another week of stressing over layoffs, benefit cuts, and yelling managers has started. At least I know I'm not in this alone.

This is just the worst leadership team ever assembled.

It feels like team morale has been taking a hit lately. Even if projects are still moving, you can sense the drag and fatigue across the board.

​Has anyone heard if leadership is acknowledging this behind closed doors? At what point does a dip in morale start triggering real concerns about retention and delivery speed, or are they just hoping it passes?

Ignoring it since it's pointless and most likely not anonymous. Focusing on getting through the day and getting another job.

Comcast, if you genuinely want to see better business results, improved productivity, and stronger employee morale, you need to seriously reconsider your layoff and employee retention strategies.

Why are H-1B visa holders and green card holders seemingly being retained while other experienced and qualified employees are losing their jobs?

If this is happening, Comcast leadership owes its employees an explanation. What criteria are being used to determine who stays and who gets laid off? Are these decisions based on technical expertise, performance, experience, and business contributions, or are other factors influencing the process?

Instead of repeatedly laying off valuable employees, Comcast should conduct a transparent and unbiased review of its workforce decisions, including the retention of H-1B and green card employees.

Layoff decisions should be based on measurable performance and business needs, not immigration status or preferential treatment.

Comcast might be surprised by how quickly productivity, accountability, and employee confidence could improve if it adopted a genuinely fair and merit-based approach.

The real question is: Why are some employees being protected while others are being shown the door? Comcast employees deserve transparency and equal treatment.

Reminder: two slices per person thank you!
