Doom and gloom at JRC.

I love how fake the PGL's are these days. They look at you with a fake blank look on their faces knowing what is about to happen. Everyday when I arrive at work, I have the feeling that it is my last day. Someone in security let out that they have an assignment in a couple weeks at the JRC. Gee, what could that be. Why are layoffs so taboo, what not prepare the employees now, so they can look for a job. Instead of dumping them on the spot without notice.

My challenge to the leadership at JRC, stop hiding behind your tailored suits. Stop giving us your fake smile and hand shake. Go to your employees within your group and tell them what's to come.


Anyone else feeling anxiety?

Anyone else here feeling exhausted? And I mean really exhausted? Anyone noticing team dynamic and personality changes? Speaking to many colleagues seems like many are feeling this way but feel helpless that the continued re-org, endless trainings, AI measuring meetings and competencies, half baked offers that don't make sense, constant changes... is Anyone seeing this? Or at all feeling heard? Or is it just me?


The hardest part about layoffs is not knowing whose turn it is

People are nervous and watching their backs, so now there’s this constant tension where nobody feels secure enough to plan their future here. It’s a huge mistake, and it’s going to cost this place way more in the long run than anyone at the top realizes.


SC org changes

Several managers and ICs let go in the SC org couple of days ago. They are doubling down on their SC 2.0 agenda and pushing out anyone who doesn’t fall in line. Feels more like ego than strategy. Morale is sinking, and they’re going to lose a lot more people if this keeps up.


I wonder if John knows

Just how many of his VP’s have said they don’t agree with his email….

Our VP made a point to say they didn’t agree with it on today’s Town Hall. Not the first time I’ve heard it from leadership either. In fact, I haven’t heard a single person support it.

They wanted to distance themselves from his opinion.

Anyone else?

How is this guy still CEO?

He’s lost the entire company from the top down.

He’s gotta go!


Loyal US Foods associate

Dear leaders.

All of these complaints being posted in the open for all to see is embarrassing and preventable. I love and appreciate US Foods who hired me over 20 years ago and is the only company I have worked for outside of a couple small ones. I have raised kids while working here and made friends along the way. I have reached a level within the company where I lead other associates.

My team opened up during a team meeting and they concerned about reporting issues internally and shared this site with me. I spent the better part of the morning reading all of these comments. The articles of one of our newer leader was one of their main concerns. Having met him briefly, I now understand why I had a bad feeling when we spoke and why I did not see him as a good fit for our lovely company. He was smug and a know it all who made comments about what he inherited and some of what he had to do since being here which I felt was inappropriate and which I won't report here because I am old school and don't think his comments belong here. Like them, I don't want to call our compliance hotline because it may get back to him and he seems to be the type to lie and take matters into his own hands. His past shows that, and yet knowing it is out in the open, he remains in a trusted role here.

But reading these posts are hurt me deeply. I ask that our leaders consider clearing the hurdle that is forcing our associates to place our dirty laundry in the public. This can have a negative effect on our associates and customers. It seems to already have and what will come out next. As a faithful leader of this company, I ask our ELT to put the wellness of our associates and trust of our customers first and remove the barrier so our associates and I can once again speak our concerns internally where it belongs and stop hurting our progress as a company. This is embarrassing and must end.

I am confident that IT and our Operations leaders in Montgomery are doing the right things to protect us and that they would let us know if there was a danger in either incident. But when you read these boards, it generates fear and distrust and subsequently causes our associates to flood external sites and fill our customers ears with negative publicity. I urge you to take the only action that would return us to the company I have known for years.

A faithful but worried leader of US Foods


Living the well life

Corporate Communications sent an email to our location today asking for us to send in submissions about how we’re living the WELL life at Wells Fargo.

Really? You ask this now?

Even if you think those of us upset about the 8 hour thing are being whiny, you have to admit that sending out something asking us for a testimonial about the great Wells Fargo RIGHT NOW is pretty laughable.


Canada’s future is not for sale. Write to your representatives. Speak out. Stand up. Fight back against betrayal. Silence is surrender.

Betrayal at Home Imperial Oil Offshores Canadian Jobs After Exploiting Resources
After decades of degrading Canada’s environment, draining communities, and profiting from our natural resources, Imperial Oil,under the control of its U.S. parent giant, is shipping 20% jobs to India


US oil giant offshores 900 well paying Canadian Jobs

Should be the title of the press release.

Most of the analysis and decisions were led by ExxonMobil employees in Houston and elsewhere in the world. Imperial despite being an independent publicly traded company was puppeteered by its American masters.

This should be headline news everywhere in Canada tonight. But instead, given it doesn’t affect Ontario or Quebec it will be swept under the rug.

What happened to elbows up?


Ex IOL - We're with you

Amidst todays news, just wanted to pass this along. All of us former employees are with you in spirit. There's so much information and news to digest and a massive human element to all this. Just remember, Imperial hires fantastic people, regardless of what specific outcomes are, we all hope things work out for everyone individually. Take care


MN Email

MN is such a great guy who cares so much about us all! His genuine concern for us all is absolutely heartwarming. I just want to say to MN that we all care for him as much as he cares for us and we want to send the same message to him that he send to us every day:

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕


What We Deserve

It's become so clear from this forum that we all hate each other and cannot agree to collectively take action on anything.

This place has become so miserable over the last few years I'm actively rooting for Juan to announce the end of remote at this point so we all suffer.


They can forget about productivity today

I know I'm not the only one who can't even think about work right now. The sooner this is over, the better, even if I'm cut. The anticipation is ki-ling me, literally. I'm scared to take my blood pressure again because of how high it is. Anyone who can concentrate on work in these conditions has my respect, but that isn't me.


What now?

Well after 13.5 years of loyal service including 2 moves halfway across the United States I was unlucky this time and got left standing. I remember when I got hired I was told during on boarding that I had essentially won the lottery and that I can work 30 years and retire a millionaire. Well I've been through 4 re-orgs across 3 business units. But hey I still have a chance to land a lesser paying role during the quick PDC. I've devoted almost 25 years of my life to the oil industry and now I'm left scratching my head wondering what I'm going to do. Do I switch industries and hope that I can find a comparable paying job or do I uproot my family once again chasing the dream to remain in the industry that has blessed me beyond my wildest dreams? I have years of knowledge but can't hang a college diploma up in my office. It's sad because I feel that the company that I dreamed of working for not value on the job knowledge the way they value a college diploma. I feel like this company is turning in to a popularity contest and upper management not wanting to be challenged with new ideas or ways of doing things they seem to want yes men/women.


Poor leadership

At Dell Technologies, we lack good leadership. Instead of transparency, we see random layoffs, no coherent strategy, and no confidence instilled in employees or shareholders. Leadership is not about hiding behind tough decisions.. it’s about owning them, communicating them, and guiding people through them.

The difference between courage and cowardice is clarity.


Distrust

Its clear to see with how easy people are jumping to conclusions just how broken this company is. Constantly having to wonder will you be next. Dreading announcements, dreading town halls - its a slow, exhausting and emotional mental game. This company has lost the ability all together to value employees, make them feel appreciated for their contributions. There is no trust. Understand a corporation doesnt owe anyone loyalty but a hint of transparency would be nice. Instead of a message that promotes a long, fulfilling career that will provide you growth opportunity and purpose. As if the fact that the constant eroding of personnel doesnt impact us left both professionally and personally. We shoulder more work while inherting more risk our time will soon be up.

I'd say "hopefully HR is taking note"; except HR doesnt give a s#it about Canadian workers or Imperial Oil.

Sad what this company has become.


Optum is losing talent at accelerated rate

Critical resources with 10 to 25 years with the company have either left, found new jobs, or they're already interviewing. They keep hamstringing our engineers/innovators with increasing loads of security requirements and bridling everyone with additional jobs. Engineering teams have lost critical mass and it's all arranging deck chairs on the Titanic now. No one to blame but leadership.
OP: @d5+1k617znv0

This seems to have been the corporate trend in the US for a couple of years now. I don’t even know where to take the skills and experience I’ve built. Something is deeply wrong with a system that abandons human achievement, expertise, and accumulated knowledge so casually.


@OP+1k65v2bkx: Your frustration with the 8-hour RTO mandate is spot-on—expecting 4am office arrivals for India calls is absurd and screams mismanagement. The badge-tracking data, as you said, is a legal landmine; law firms could feast on it for discrimination suits (e.g., targeting women or over-40s, per @av
). Morale’s in the gutter—Glassdoor’s 3.7/5 culture score and 2025 Worker Stress Survey confirm it. @bm ’s right: this isn’t about coffee badging but execs chasing stock prices while alienating talent. Wells Fargo’s solid on paper (A+ Fitch rating, 5-star BauerFinancial, >10% CET1 ratio), but its toxic culture—echoing Tolstedt/Stumpf days—drives churn.
To show regulators and outsiders how bad it is: Log RTO impacts anonymously (e.g., Google Forms) and tip CFPB (consumerfinance.gov/complaint).
Flood Wells’ engagement surveys with blunt feedback—leak results to media.
Post on X (#WellsFargoRTO) or Glassdoor to amplify.

Collective action is key—solo moves risk retaliation. @aa+1k66fwnj9, keep planning that exit; this bank’s stable but broken. #RTO #Morale #Banking

@OP
+1k66fwnj9: Your point about employees “checking out” and doing the bare minimum under Wells Fargo’s RTO policy rings true, and it’s a symptom of deeper issues. I wouldn’t call severance a “golden parachute” either—those are reserved for executives, not the rank-and-file waiting out retirement. The churn you mention, especially among younger talent, aligns with what I’ve seen: Wells Fargo attracts good people with competitive pay and benefits but loses them fast due to a toxic, command-and-control culture. @aa+1k66fwnj9, you’re wrong. The bank’s reputation is not universally “evil” --especially outside these walls—millions spent on PR post-account scandal helped. But let’s look at the numbers to see where Wells stands. Using the following prompt to evaluate Wells Fargo’s performance:
"Provide a detailed evaluation of Wells Fargo’s performance as a bank, focusing on its financial health, regulatory ratings, credit ratings, and customer satisfaction. Include regulatory assessments (e.g., CAMELS, stress tests, asset caps), credit ratings (Moody’s, S&P, Fitch), insights from research/surveys (e.g., ABA, BauerFinancial), ‘too big to fail’ status, and key financial metrics (e.g., ROA, capital ratios, revenue growth). Use recent data and cite sources like FDIC or Federal Reserve where applicable. "Here’s the reality: Wells Fargo is financially solid but struggling with trust and morale. It’s a G-SIB (“too big to fail”), with ~$1.9T in assets and a 2.5% capital surcharge, passing 2025 Fed stress tests (CET1 ratio >10%). Credit ratings are strong: Fitch (A+, stable), Moody’s (A1, stable), S&P (A-, stable), reflecting resilience despite litigation risks. BauerFinancial gives it 5 stars for safety, and ABA surveys show 94% customer satisfaction with service. But dig deeper—consumer reviews (e.g., WalletHub) average 2-3/5, citing fees and poor service. Accenture ranks Wells mid-tier for digital experience, and employees on boards like this echo psychological strain from rigid management. This bank’s size and stability draw talent, but its culture—evident in RTO pushback and your “checked out” colleagues—drives them away. @aa+1k66fwnj9, you could retire and thrive elsewhere, like I did, building a business with less stress. Management’s policies, from RTO to past scandals, keep morale low and risk another PR hit. Charlie’s leadership may not land him in jail, but 200,000 frustrated employees venting online isn’t helping. My advice: set boundaries, plan your exit, and don’t bank on a “parachute” from a bank that’s stable but stuck. #RTO #Morale #Banking

RTO policy isn’t going to make people quit

Most of the people in my building are 50+, many 55+ and 5-10 years from retirement who have long checked out and are just waiting it out for either retirement or to get their golden parachute. RTO is only making people more checked out and they are just doing the bare minimum and playing the game while cashing their paycheck which I see no problem with. The only people I see who might leave are a few younger ones who might be able to find remote work but those are definitely the minority. Another failed policy from WF and management is always wondering why this company doesn’t attract talent and morale is low….


It’s sad what a place like Oracle does to you as a person.

It’s 535am where I am. I woke up in a good mood and a friend asked me about a work get together that is happening in Feb. I’m somewhat newer at the company. The gathering would require staying with co-workers in a winter cabin for 2-3 days. Having been burned, mistreated, abused, dumped on and sabotaged for so many years at Oracle, social situations for lengthy time, esp if alcohol is involved, it gives me anxiety. All of this comes from so many years at oracle around people I couldn’t trust or people who were just flat out terrible people to work with. Liars, frauds, fake. Do we have these at every company? Probably…..but man….it’s sad what a place like Oracle does to people for the rest of their lives. I realize more and more as I get older that it was the worst experience of my life and one I regret every day. I am so thankful I will never ever have to go back.


Ideas box

It's the height of ignorance not to acknowledge an employees idea.basic manners cost nothing.all that money spent on your education but no upbringing.just one of many examples why morale is so low.


What the he-l just happened

Anyone else reflecting on this week wondering what the he-l just happened? A typical week became a week of doom and gloom. It became hard to focus, the rumor mill roaring along with a sorry excuse of response by our CEO. In all my years at HCSC, I’ve never felt more betrayed by the company. No clear vision.. no clear communication… where’s the email that says what happens next? Are we really just going to feel like we’re in limbo until someone explains what the plan forward is? This is exhausting… I’m starting to think a layoff wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world


The Lie

Is anyone else exhausted by this charade?
How long does management think we’ll swallow the spin?
How long can they hide behind slogans, “initiatives,” and empty town halls before admitting what everyone already knows?

There is no grand plan.
There never was.

The lie runs through the veins of this place — not a glitch, but the system itself.
The lie is we-ponized: a tool to keep people quiet, compliant, expendable.
The lie isn’t covering cracks anymore — it is the foundation, and it’s already rotting through.

What we’re left with is a company lurching from crisis to crisis, too disorganized to lead, too arrogant to listen, and too malicious to care about the people keeping the lights on.

And the worst part?
They think we’ll keep buying it.
