Layoffs. Reorgs. Another restructuring. Another leadership change. Another mass layoffs. Just cycle of constant anxiety...
NBCUniversal and Sky are being prepared for separation from Comcast. After years of telling everyone that owning the pipes and the content was the great strategic advantage, those pieces are heading toward separate companies. Splitting just like the Titanic when it sunk.
And that makes me curious about the people who are still here.
Why are you staying?
Is it because you honestly still believe Comcast has a great future?
Is it because you like your team and your manager, even if you don't like what's happening above you?
Are the pay and benefits simply too good to walk away from? [Highly doubt it]
Have you been here 10, 15 or 20 years and leaving feels like losing a piece of yourself or your identity?
Are you close enough to retirement that you're just trying to make it across the finish line?
Are you sitting on RSU, a bonus, pension benefits or some other financial reason that makes leaving now a bad decision? Like a golden handcuff?
Are you quietly waiting for a severance package?
Do you actually believe the split and the new leadership will turn things around? (If so, sell me on it. I'd love to be wrong.)
Or is it because you've been looking and honestly can't find anything else in this market?
Or is it just inertia, and leaving feels scarier than staying?
Just wondering as a former Comcast employee. Aren’t these NPS and YourVoice surveys just a facade designed to make you think your voice matters when, in reality, they don’t really care? I’m genuinely curious why people are choosing a life of constant anxiety and fear, being treated like children because of the RTO mandate and badge policy, while always having that constant feeling that you could be thrown away like a used pair of shoes? Why stay at a company that seems to be heading the way of Blockbuster, RadioShack, and Kodak... into the dustbin of history?
So what keeps YOU at Comcast?
I'm genuinely interested in hearing from the people who have made the conscious decision to stay.
Why haven't you left?
