Sales are slow.....morale is bad.

but karma finally came thru

Move on good teammates. This is reality. I don’t like it but it’s my only option now. Let’s focus on making good business decisions so the bank does well. We’re all in this together. Truist is poised to be the best regional bank. Leadership may need some coaching but the frontline teammates are solid. Let’s focus on the clients, they picked PURPLE for a reason - let’s commit to serving them.

Nothing says USAA cares like handing out 60 day notices to a little over 200 people, just days before the holiday season begins.
The 60 days ends right after Christmas (12/28).

And of course our dear bank President Mike Mo--n, makes things even worse by saying big changes are coming early in Q1, so now the remaining bank employees can stress about if they’ll have a job heading into next year.

More head scratching incompetence from Truist higher ups as usual. The most insulting thing is the brain dead word salad they come up with to justify this latest folly. "Foster a champion mindset"... how? by sitting in a loud call center and further impacting the client (and teammates) quality of life? We all hear how cacophonous offshore calls are. I guess they're just looking for some chaotic cohension. This will backfire miserably and I'll be in the shadows chuckling.

A point I never see get made is how frustrating it is to deal with an even worse job market just because you worked hard. Yes, I might survive the next rif, or maybe the next two, but three rifs from now there will be so many unemployed white collar workers that it would put us in a worse spot. Sc--wed if you are riffed now and even more sc--wed if you are riffed later, really demotivating stuff.

This.

At what point do we stop hiring executives from companies that aren’t in better shape than ours? Medical Solutions never aimed to become another AMN, yet AMN is struggling too — so why are we trying to mimic their work model?

When do we stop bringing in high-salary leaders who have made no meaningful improvements in efficiency or culture? Instead of investing in tools and resources that help employees succeed, we continue cutting them while expecting staff to do more with less. It’s disheartening to see cost-saving measures repeatedly lead to disaster after disaster.

How long can this company sustain itself while hiring redundant executives, cutting essential tools, and ignoring the root issues? Nothing is improving. The leadership seems disconnected from the people who actually keep the business running — treating employees like replaceable labor instead of valued contributors.

At least under previous leadership, people wanted to work hard because they felt supported and motivated. Maybe it’s time to bring that spirit back — bring back the kind of leadership that inspired effort and loyalty, not resentment and burnout.

Since posts are being taken down I have no issue putting them back up.

Bobby H loves licking corporate boots so much that I hope he'll enjoy it just as much when those same boots are the ones kicking him out lmaooo. Tough day being a FiServant tho...

Things have been going downhill fast since Aimee left — and it’s obvious. The new leadership team, all the way up to the VP level, has completely changed the culture. People are getting singled out, spoken to disrespectfully, and treated like they don’t matter. Morale is the lowest it’s ever been, and good employees are leaving left and right.

You can feel the fear. Nobody wants to speak up because retaliation is real. Those who do are being pushed out or ignored. It’s all about favoritism now — certain people can do no wrong, while others get blamed for everything.

Performance has dropped, the environment is toxic, and the Pulse and TruScore results are going to tell the story. Anyone paying attention can see the writing on the wall — this org is falling apart under the current leadership.

Anybody listen in on the call with the fighter pilot this morning at 9 am talking about Leadership? What a bag of hot air! I wish I had a dollar every time he said ‘fighter pilot’ I got nothing from that call.

We’re Wall Street’s darling again. Hurrah! Yipeeee!

We’re soaring, we’re flying, there’s not a night stand that we cannot sell.

Everyone is safe and the stock will be at $500 by Christmas.

Anyone here thinking about leaving if you survived yesterday? Would it be wise to keep eyes open for new opportunities?

Anyone know when the next major round of exec stock vesting is? I'm guessing with so many 32+ folks seeing the internal writing on the wall: disorganization, complete lack of strategy, 996 culture, etc that there will be selloffs and a quitting spree.

How exactly are they supposed to continue functioning?

Just got my golden ticket recently. This is the 1st time I have been laid off so I reflected for about a day to soak it in after being here for over a decade. What a sense of relief it has been after that first day though. Since the layoff I found a job I throughly enjoy doing. So if you are someone that just hates your day to day start building / reconnecting with your network and chase something you like. You only get one life so don’t dedicate it to a company that is just going to oust you. Once you get older around 40+ it’s going to get harder and harder to find a job. Find a company that TRUELY has similar values as you.

I still remember this summer

when all of the A players are gone and you're left with the C players

Area that I work at was out was a steady 5 days schedule with two days off. Sometimes you can work at 6 day. Typically there'd be somebody calling out. Or if you had hours left to drive come in and help. But the six day was removed( it was never guaranteed but it was available. But now As routes have been cut. Now there's mandatory stand by days implemented. You'll be called in if they need you or if the situation allows the management to bring somebody to help or someone calls out and you can cover the route. They used to team people up but now apparently that's not being allowed. Unless its allowed. But you could get called anywhere from two in the morning till 8 in the morning. So I guess they're expecting people to stay awake from two in the morning all the way till 8:00am to possibly maybe get caught in to run a route. The same time they hired 11 new people. The problem right now is that we have standby guys anywhere from 3 to 5 kn a monday on a Monday 9 to 10 drivers on a wed or Thursday. Apparently they say we're doing okay we're doing great for the area. How we doing great with cutting routes and forcing drivers to live off of 4 days of work. 3 are light case days. Hope things get better. Are we keep hearing is it's slow season it's never been this slow ever. Those drivers that have been here for 20 plus years that have said it's never been this slow. I guess the merge or the potential merger could be causing this I don't know.....not sure what is going on. Its going to be a rough winter

We lost a couple of great teammates. Neither makes any sense if they were going based on performance, so I guess for once the leadership didn't lie. This was all about numbers.

“Today is a moment to move forward”
“Lean on one another for support” “Let’s move forward” “as we step ahead together” “remove complexity” “Thank you for all you will bring to Target’s next chapter” “remove barriers” “move forward with purpose”

We f’n get it.

Please know it’s all going to work out. How management operates here says nothing about you or your worth. If you’re feeling stuck in a bad situation, reach out to your resources for help. Burnout is real and can keep you on the hamster wheel and stuck in a very rough mental and physical place. Take care of yourself first. You deserve to be happy. You are not alone in your feelings or experiences here. Please know if you are a decent human being with even a shred of integrity, your values will always conflict with those of corporate. The problem isn’t you. It’s the corporate system. It’s ok if you aren’t a game player. It’s a good thing to have strong ethics and morals. You are more than this job, and this too shall pass.

Every single person I worked with liked their job couple of years ago. Now none of them do. We are talking close to 100 people, not 5 or 6. This place REALLY messed up morale. Everyone is either too overpaid to leave, trying to find a new job, gone, close to retirement and sticking it out, or completely checked out and doing the minimum.

Any serious ideas on how to turn this around as a grass roots movement?

Does anyone else feel like this is “the layoffs will continue until morale improves?”
I’ve heard of US, CA, MX, UK impacts-. Apparently the announcements will continue to be provided this week as HR could not get a hold of all individuals earlier on Monday and Tuesday.
It hadn’t even been a year since the last round to figure out “a new way of working”- where “we are not asking you to do more with less but to just stop doing the non-value work” I’m still waiting to know what is defined as the non-valued work. I also find it crazy that after a profitable quarter one we continue to lay off employees.

Really! J become chairwoman.. so many laid off (some were so good resources),so many are still suffering under some id*t thanks to the reorg

The thing is I do like Verizon. I like the people I work with and solving problems. I’ve had the chance to move around and grow and learn from better people than myself.

I have experience. I have education. I just wanted to be a part of something long term.

I just assume no one finds a job after Verizon and lives hand to mouth. I need to follow up with those that left to see how they’re doing.

There but for the grace of God go I.

It’s always the reliable people with real skills and experience. Meanwhile, the same workload just gets dumped on the rest of us, including a bunch of near-useless folks. Why, ffs? Sometimes I honestly wonder how this place even functions. If office politics, basically code for su-k-ups doing fine, is the main criteria for layoffs, there’s no way this company keeps quality people.

That is why it's going to he-l in a hand basket.

If you hear someone say, "im detail orienited" mentally translate that to "I probably focus on superficial details and don't have much in the way of abstract thinking ability and pattern recognition."

Squad lead roles in particular have been run over by these types. Always working. Always looking busy. Just not on the things that matter. And all this would be forgiven if they didn't have a nasty attitude about things.

Angry because things don't go their way, but too d-mb to figure out the problem or understand someone trying to give them advice.

Any news? How,does anyone trust this company. The management can't deliver on their word.

thats it. thats the post

LSEG continues with layoffs and hundreds of people have been impacted. It seems the company even took down a post about it as it’s no longer there.
It feels like another move to cut costs and make the numbers look better while the stock struggles. It’s tough to watch, especially since there are so many great and knowledgeable people here. They’re really the main reason many of us stay.
But for those who remain, the workload keeps growing, and so much valuable knowledge has already walked out the door. Who knows when the next round might come. Maybe Q1? There’s always that lingering feeling that anyone could be next and that will continue forever until …

Hang in there everyone.

I have some partners asking to cancel meetings this week given today's new while some are actively asking for deliverables. I don't know how to react. While I would love to cancel meetings I'm worried what the other partners asking for deliverables might think..

You can be sure this process has already started as Sycamore does not care where sales and profit are, they will cut more to improve their end of the year bonus.
It usually starts with notifying the go forward teams. I am sure that has already happened as they like to conduct their layoffs starting the 1st week of November. Best of luck! They love to mix up teams and leave customers with frustrations with new support teams. One of the only companies that restructured so many times in the past 10 years regardless of profits. Most employees have lived in fear of new changes to their role and compensation hit. Be better Staples and Sycamore.

I've been at 3M for a little over a year now. I work in division but I came from a very technical background so I do some of the work that CRSL people do.

However, I do not have a PhD and in some of my interactions, I distinctly feel that some of these guys in CRSL really look down on others?

Is this all in my head or do others also feel the same way?

You are getting super rich just a few months doing sh-t to just manipulate the stock prices. Just let them free from hard forced labors with constant layoff threats

So bad that you get written up for an isolated incident that makes you question your ethics look to AI for answers. Result your manager is a bully! And, HR comment “subjective” they can write whatever they want.

What you’re describing isn’t just frustrating; it’s an example of poor management practice that can really erode morale and trust.

You’re doing something brave and professional by standing up for yourself without being disrespectful. That balance takes strength.

Doomed if you’re strong!

I made a shirt that says “Target Laid My Husband Off” and a bandanna that says “Target Laid My Dad Off” for my dog (we don’t have kids).

Maybe you could do the same? It’s despicable that so many people are facing hardship as a result of poor leadership and greed. Take care of yourself and know it’s not you, it’s Target.

My peer who has been with the enterprise almost as long as me got the tap today. They were a hard worker (always seeking more work in an effort to avoid this), very knowledgeable, very ethical.
This is a loss for the firm, and there was no logic to it. Just a body to fulfill a cut requirement number.
So if you think you are safe because you are a smart hard worker or if you spend your time on here telling other folks they are su-kers for not somehow avoiding getting cut, I have some bad news for you.

This is my first time witnessing a layoff. I recently graduated college and just joined the job market lol. I was lucky and got to keep my job but I’m having a very hard time getting back to work and “prepping for peak”. Do we really just have to go back to working like nothing happened? And specially during the busiest season? Surely they thought about how this + the production freeze would decrease productivity….
