How many times can they fu-k up a sale in one single fiscal year because I think this year is taking the cake. Literally not a single promotion has been executed correctly at the corporate level yet we are the ones suffering. How hard is it to have a SALE YOU PLANNED RING AT THE REGISTER???
What if we just make everything 20-25% off at all times at this point???
Anybody ever filed a claim for STD for mental health, how is Lincoln financial with process? How long did it take? If not for mental health, how long was the process in general?
What is going on with the over subscriptions? Is the company and union negotiating a resolution to this? People have received an email stating it is being reviewed. How long does the process go on for?
it's essential to let some tasks fail to highlight the gaps in our process
I have never in my entire working life seen processes change at the pace they change in this department. The constant stream of updates, new procedures, and shifting expectations has reached a point where it feels impossible for anyone to keep up. There is only so much a person can absorb, remember, and reasonably be expected to apply at one time. At some point, it stops being about an employee’s ability to adapt and starts being about whether the volume and speed of change are even manageable for a human being.
Any tips? Got an offer from a competitor and I’m a little nervous about the process, as there is no written protocol as far as I know.
Thanks for the insights on this site.
It has both driven me crazy and made me sane at times.
People here have plenty of ideas, but very few seem to survive the process. By the time something gets through all the approvals, there's barely anything left of the original idea.
Anyone know what the official process is for voluntary rif and has it worked in their favour?
Does anyone else feel that a certain group of people take forever to approve the data access request for others ??
You have to reach out to them 10 times before they would even respond.
I informally volunteered for any RIF in the U.S. No feedback yet from management. Hoping they snip me next week. Will keep y'all posted as the process unfolds. Or doesn't unfold.
I’m in the US and new at PayPal. What is the process followed by HR? Does the person affected being laid off get the meeting invite? How does the rest of the team or manager find out who has been let go from their team?
No thought went into the Admin overhead / the quality of a roll out at this scale. we are going backwards ugh!
Ever wondered why this question always scores the lowest?
I think that's because leaders don't give a flying f to people who can understand and fix the process. Process teams are either working on spi maintenance with low value, paid very low or buried under change managers who have no clue about the process. A handful of leaders in the organisation give importance to process and until process ideas move out of change teams, there's little hope for improvement here. AI is no help to a bad process. What do you think?
I have heard some people already know that they are being let go. Has everyone being laid off been told? I just want to understand the timeline and process. The uncertainty is so distracting.
I feel like I've drank some poisoned coolaid at the FY27 kickoff. Ever since the last round of restructuring, layoffs, optimisation or whatever the fu-k else you wanna call it the company processes have ground to a screeching maniacal halt. Sales? Unexistant. Licensing? Can't provide you with a license, can't tell a license for two completely different products apart, need to involve 50 people to provide a client with anything. Developers? Now part of Support?! Support? Can't hear a squeal out of them unless you invoke an ancient Latin spell - oh wait thats just all of their senior management's names im writing in the CC of this email, not Ancient Latin. Do they have the clients locked up with a g-n pointed to their head to keep signing up for these dorky a-s shifty products or something??? Every day in this company is like a Benadryl trip where any issue I have needs to be solved by the hat man I keep seeing with the corner of my eye that apparently doesnt fu--ing exist. Absolute misery.
The company is upside down. They look at numbers oppose to quality of client support and ability to decrease the workload. Company really should rethink the process and start RIFs from top to bottom. Way too many Leads, Sup, Manager, director positioned in terms of the acquired workload chain.
The constant stream of security patches was bad enough a few years back but how is it going today, in light of all of the vulnerabilities being found by AI ?
From https://www.thelayoff.com/post/@bk+1kyscy9ar, it looks like the frequency has increased. It can’t be a pretty picture but please tell me the process is more automated now.
Rolling DNS before doing a deployment. Never, in my most "how bad could this get?" imagination did I expect to hear a senior technology leader bragging about achieving a process that has existed for decades. What a way to justify that big salary.
Wells Fargo: modernizing technology by bringing you the past.
Can anyone clear up how the decision was made regarding who on the team got earlier release dates such as 9/4 and others got later dates? Most of my team that applied got the early date and our PL shared they still are unaware of who applied. It seems odd corporate or a vendor would decide this.
I never received my email yesterday so called the VSP hotline number today. They kept me on hold for 30 minutes only to tell me they don't see any information on whether my VSP request is approved or denied. They said they will open a case and someone will reach out to me within 5 business days. Has this happened to anyone else?
So how’s the troops enjoying the whacked out new OT Salesforce?
Apart from being unable to quote easily or quickly, needing multiple approvals for list price quotes, an inability to intelligently search for products, processing orders literally like pulling teeth and the data being FUBAR if you are authorised to view it. On a sales tool that we never train people on that’s the backbone of a sales organisation.
it’s all going rather swimmingly don't you think?
Are notifications for the VSP going out in Alphabetical order?
Curious, if any other people leaders have been informed on those that requested the VSP yet. And if so, how is that process going?
Who else is enjoying this revamped Bp process as much as I am? It’s so clear and efficient and instills confidence in the direction this company is headed.
We have too many people between a task's start and its finish. Too many people get in the way of completing anything in a timely manner. I swear, it's almost Kafkaesque at this point. Removing several layers of middle management would improve the workflow immensely. Sadly, I know it's not going to happen.
Execution - The act of doing or performing something planned. It is the process of turning ideas or strategies into action and/or formidable products.
Anyone know how the VRIFs are being done? By country//line of business/alphabetically? In Canada and still just waiting after being told it was approved. So frustrating. Why are things moving so slowly.
When I say I'm drowning in work, everyone tells me to work smarter instead of harder, but how can I do that when nobody here actually removes the obstacles that make work harder than it needs to be? Until leadership starts fixing the broken processes, smarter isn't really an option.
The town hall felt like the usual, with a few stand out moments. Plants legitimately asked how to get a req approved and filled faster and basically got an answer that EVP reviews weekly but other than that, we just don’t know! Also, having EVP say he’s not a process guy is frustrating- isn’t poor and cumbersome processes (tickets and self-serve apps that get you nowhere) a big part of the problem? That is probably the reason so much time is spent on calls and meetings and meaningless metrics. Joking about being EVP for a quarter means he outlasted the last guy was actually funny, but if exec levels turnover that fast, why wouldn’t employees? Don’t they quit bad managers before they quit bad companies? I guess we just need to be on site and that will fix things
They spent 1000's of Dollars installing big screen TV's over all the departments in the Process Center to televise production information, but could never get it to work the way they wanted .... now the TV's are sitting idle and they have spent more money to hang dry erase boards in all departments and gone back to hand writing everything like we're back in the 80's!!
I applied to several jobs. Got an interview that went great. Haven’t heard anything in several weeks. Also haven’t been told no or a rejection email. Just been sitting there.
How long is the process?
I can't remember the last time I was able to just sit down and do my job without thinking about performance rankings or future opportunities or whatever new process they've invented this month. Leadership seems obsessed with things that don't matter, and the constant distraction means nothing important ever gets done. It's counterproductive and it's ki-ling the little morale we've got left.
So we are about one month in and the new and definitely worst D&S model has not been successful. Just meeting after meeting where nobody understand what the he-l is happening. HR will never admit this su-ks but go on about how this is Industry Standard; no no it’s not. It’s absolutely su-ks
For me, it's the procurement team. A $1000 payment can go over 6 months without any update. And they always direct me to another team A, and team a pointed me to team B and C. And finally it’s all of these 3 teams. Then they told me the payment is controlled by SHI. When I called SHI, they told me the vendor should have access to the link they provided.
Vendor provided invoice, then PO went to procurement again, one week before the deadline.
I escalated to VP, then they started to chase me down with PO.
What ridiculous
When do you get the meeting invite from your manager? How long does the meeting usually last?
Now it’s the same thing… just with “AI” copy-pasted on every slide.
Principal Architects running the show, somehow always in the room, rarely in the outcome.
They don’t build.
They don’t run.
But they definitely “align.”
Every problem gets a framework.
Every framework gets a deck.
Every deck gets approved.
Nothing actually gets better.
“Agentic systems,” “AI platforms,” “north star”, all discussed at length, all safely far from production.
Decisions sound big.
Ownership stays small.
Meanwhile, teams that ship are rewriting the plan in real time just to get something out the door.
At this point, the architecture isn’t enabling delivery, it’s something delivery has to survive.
But sure… one more review, one more workshop, one more “AI strategy” session.
That’ll fix it.
