I’m having a hard time dealing with this much stress

The job on its own is demanding enough, but knowing it could disappear any day adds a whole new layer of anxiety and exhaustion. Has anyone ever considered the revolutionary idea that employees who feel reasonably secure and actually rested might be far more productive?


Provider Network/Client Mgmt/Care Transitions

Does anyone actually know what the life expectancy is for Provider Network/Client Management/Care Transitions roles? Mergers, no direction and messy mix of job roles and responsibilities makes it feel pretty clear at least one, if not all departments/employees will be let go. Does anyone have any actual insights to this?


What’s the latest?

A lot seems to be happening, but there’s still no clear picture of how bad it’s going to get or who’s most at risk. HP feels completely directionless, and while I wouldn’t mind leaving or even being let go, the job market, especially for us, is awful right now. So yeah, I’m worried. The money has to come from somewhere.


What will they share in employment verification checks?

Curious if anyone knows how they verify employment to a prospective employer and what they share? I would imagine it goes through HR and possibly even some sort of automated process? Do they only provide dates of employment and title? Will they answer additional questions, if asked?
To be clear, I’m not talking about anything involving a reference check- just the standard employment verification to make sure I did actually work there.


Really, How Bad Can Shell Be At Staff Admin?

How poor are personnel and career management at Shell, really? That’s a question, not a statement.
Doge fires 1,000s on bogus poor performance allegations; many having to sue to get their jobs back.
Ford warns employees they risk firing for not complying with RTO orders.
Meta and GM terminate by impersonal, surprise emails and/or texts, after blocking intranet access.
Many staffers at lots of companies agonize over cutbacks and layoffs.
Is Shell actually so much worse? By comparison, how different can Shell be at personnel management and career offerings? Is the grass really greener elsewhere?


New Benefit Survey

In the first time in years, HR actually cared about asking our opinion about new employee benefits. Imagine that ! After all the cutting, they finally listened and said: what can we do to help our employees and provide them a more competitive benefit package ? The options which I chose were:

  1. Mental Health
  2. Legal Assistance (so I can find a lawyer that will help me sue)
  3. Pet Insurance from Nationwide
  4. Free Massages during Lunch Hour

What say you ?


Transfering internally

If you make a lateral move, does your pay remain the same? Does bonus % change? Not sure if anyone here has experience, but considering applying to an adjacent role (Currently a Senior System Analyst) but the role I'm looking to apply is a regular System analyst. Not sure what that would mean pay wise. Does everyone at TIAA get the same bonus %?


India ....no promotion for G6s

I have been told that i need to have minimum 15+ years experience to move to G7 in India .Is this normal ?

This leadership group's most detrimental practice is the systematic sidelining of high performers. Governed by an implicit anti-meritocratic stance, their chief aim is self-preservation. They intentionally install a layer of middling and compliant managers beneath them. This creates a buffer that prevents truly talented individuals from advancing to levels where they might question authority, reveal strategic shortcomings, or disrupt the status quo. Having reached the later stages of their careers, their focus has narrowed to preserving their lucrative positions and titles with minimal exertion, effectively treating their roles as comfortable sinecures.
