#promotions

We are hearing some got promotions and some are told you will be part of the next laylof list as a good will by some managers

has anyone known of a someone being promoted during this time of layoffs .

i have it and was weird

Last year zero people in our group (25-55 people) received promotions. These are people who ‘exceeded all or most’, met deliverables and in previous years would have been a shoe-in. Given the hole we as a company are going to continue digging out of, does anyone see any reason top performers should think DW won’t completely give us all the shaft again?
True, nothing is guaranteed, but I can’t even pull the energy to write the damn things when they are shown year after year to be utterly meaningless unless you got him in your DMs.

It’s clear that if you work for WTS you have been lied to. The idea that they want to grow the company with you, WTS, couldn’t be farther from the truth. The truth is all of the money and investments from CUSA are in the PPS and Enterprise divisions.

Did you know the company is creating new Enterprise sales roles with a starting salary of $80k? Look for yourself. How does that make the rep who has worked for WTS making $55k feel? As a WTS rep are you too wondering where the Q4 promotions are that will help you financially? Not there. Well why would they be if they don’t care about the future of WTS. They have you on the cheap right now and don’t need you moving forward so why not save a couple bucks?

Last but not least, our company is being run by two individuals that could retire tomorrow (oh and they will). Don’t think that MO and MM are on contracts simply to see this division through until they could shut down WTS and push retail to the dealerships. Don’t let MO lie to your face when he tells you that he needs you. It’s a big fat lie.

How much % layoff in endpoint security, CASB, DLP, email security ?

Those bad layoff decisions made by certain incompetent and selfish leaders have drag the org into negative loop. Hardworking and valuable engineers are let go, but slackers who have good relationship with those leaders are still there and get promotions. Customers keep leaving. While CEO only cares about the org revenue. And those decision just accelerate the decline of the revenue, and assure the layoff in next quarter.

If you think you’re being underpaid, go test that theory in the job market. I’m serious. There’s no better way to either confirm that theory or learn you need to revise it than putting your resume out there and seeing how the market votes.

I’d recommend that everyone do this at least every couple of years. Especially since for most people, they’re going to see their largest salary increases by moving to a different employer. The days of staying at the same company for years and years while hoping you’re one of the seemingly random people selected for elevation are long over. I’d tell anyone graduating from college today, “Don’t plan on staying at the same employer more than 3 or 4 years. 5 years max. Otherwise be OK with meager annual raises that barely, if at all, keep up with inflation. If you want to keep your salary growing you either have to get promoted or leave. If those promotions aren’t regularly happening every 3 or 4 years then you’ve been indirectly notified what your employer thinks about your work and your future at that company.”

Bumped from @e6+1m3msfzc4.

1.Fiserv is hiring and promoting people who lack the skills needed to do the job.They are not even trying to learn.

1. When you respond in a teams message to a question they present by asking a question
   they then take that question to another employee and return with that employee’s answer.- stop responding to them via team if you can.
   .3. These same people SETUP meetings that waste your time .- stop showing up or answering questions in these meetings.

Palo is cheap. They are like many of the other vendors. One could be there five years, get no raises of any kind. Promotions are nearly impossible. Upper management admits this is true and all that is controlled by mindless algorithms. One has to leave to get more money.

Cool

Good leadership

Already started?

Sr. leadership gets paid more for added responsibilities, while everyone below director gets added responsibilities for free because we’re “short on money.”
And RIP to anyone getting promoted this year and next—tiny bump now, no merit next year, and twice the work. Biggest corporate scam ever.
Hopefully those layoffs saved us a sh-t ton of money because damn.

How is the control on hiring, pay rate and promotions going to be handled? Is that control retained by MDs and Directors onshore? Curious as I came across shady hiring practices where pay was not in onshore leadership control, not even the role level. This might open a gap and vulnerability in the system where local leadership in GCC might favor the frenzy.

Genuinely curious as I know how much of a power politics Indian leadership in GCC can play if not cautious. If the few genuine leaders lose the leash, we might be a gone case (scared as I am indian and realize power play when I see one)

Dell had paid a lot in wfr. Now the plan is to make things so miserable that people leave in their own. May it be useless tools, unrealistic kpis which have no relevance to actual jobs.... No growth or promotions. Just make it so bad that people leave. I am just collecting a paycheck... Just package me...

We're having trouble attracting top talent these days due to the plummeting reputation. All the bad reviews I keep seeing on the usual sites are true, calling out no leadership, no promotions, and no care. I wonder if the leadership thinks they can ride on Dell's old reputation forever.

Did everyone enjoy the training on employee disengagement?

How can SAS expect people to be highly engaged when it's clear company goals won't be met which means smaller or no bonuses, fewer or no promotions or raises.... more money for the big cheeses and endless building up of interns and enthusiasm for hiring young people but none of either for anyone else.

Yay SAS.

Look at people are getting promoted, first of all they don't make it public, most of them are not at all competent.

I saw couple of promotion posts on LinkedIn, are they really promoting people ?

Capone pronounced like the famous chicago gangster... this is more appropriate that pronouncing as cap one. Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt. Sad, sad, sad. I have seen so many new posts about the new RIFs this week, and just as many, if not more celebration postings on LinkedIn about new job acceptances, promotions, and brand new job postings. This company is The Worst.

A significant portion of University of Kentucky dining and facilities workers laid off by Aramark have not been rehired by the new partner, Compass Group. By July 10, only 462 out of 926 affected employees had found new positions. Compass Group is reportedly prioritizing full-time hires, leaving many student and part-time workers in limbo. Additionally, UK employees who choose to remain with the university rather than join Compass Group will not be eligible for promotions. The university is still finalizing its contract with Compass Group, which began providing services in July.

I remember when 3M was the kind of place people stayed for decades. Now it's a revolving door where people come, get some experience, and leave for somewhere that actually values them. Insiders get passed over, outsiders get promotions, and the culture keeps eroding. And then we ask ourselves why we're in decline? The answer is obvious.

Are promotions cancelled in consulting?

head of growth and generosity leaving company, not being replaced. a bunch of people promoted from VP to SVP. in same email, layoffs announced. said this was done in the name of cost reduction yet with all the big title promotions, were there any real dollars saved? it's so tasteless to be rah rah let's celebrate promotions and then tell people they lost their jobs all in the same day.

Did anyone get notified they got promoted yet?

The SLT received HUGE comp increases for the new opentext and many are on LI announcing their promotions and sharing endlessly about their many accomplishments. Others are publicly talking about the new GTM model , clearly excited about their new raises, and some about their company paid I'm sure relocations.

It is stunning because ALL of these people have failed in their previous roles. Meanwhile, many employees announcing their entire teams were let go, the very people who were doing what they could.

There has to be some massive incentives on the table for the ELT around results in addition to their new larger salaries. It's as if they are giddy in their LI posts.

Also, completely inappropriate and poor business sense. LI is not intended for bragging. Oh, and none of them have any significant writing skills.

OpenText looks so foolish right now on LI. A company this size should have a coordinated LI plan.

Expected more topics due to everything that is going on. We have Brinks/Atleos merger, Voyix having a lot of problems surviving, merit in march ridiculous, promotions in may also ridiculous (for atleos side at least), etc... Yet i do not see a lot of people sharing any information. What is going on?

15 years of integrity… hard work… caring about members…. and I know I’ll get let go.

I’m too good at what I do. I won’t accept promotions either.

My gut feeling tells me this is the end. The writing is on the wall. I’m reading the tea leaves here but I just know it’s the end.

So I bid you all farewell. It was a good run.

Nah I’m just playin. I ain’t going nowhere. 😂

I’ve lost track, when is the promotion cycle these days?
Supervisor/PDR nomination?
Approval?
Notification?

Has anyone been promoted in their current role without needing to switch jobs or apply for a higher title job posting

Can anyone in HR confirm if promotions were approved, your manager would have been notified either way? I’m hearing there was an extension and some might be approved starting July 1.

I am no longer with the company but very curious about how things are going and moving along since last year's layoffs; and what the overall morale is like in Design and Tech; especially in the Home Division?

Prior to my departure, promotions were scarce and people were feeling stagnant, overworked/underappreciated and not being able to move around and grow... is that still the case for most L4/L5s and maybe L6s?

I heard some promotions were approved and/ or in the process of being approved, but no word on timing. Anyone have any insight on when we will be notified?

FYI

Have never seen it happen so much as here

Was told there was some activity yesterday on this not sure how many folks received it, nothing for me as usual its just pathetic and depressing. Just want to know how many got it here

Are promotions happening this cycle and is NYC one of the main cities

Heard that promotions are back on. But this time, the number of promotions is very slim per department. Anyone know anything?

More promotions
