A few more of these and it will counteract the 50M spent on the rebrand to try and hide all their bad publicity.

No worthwhile insurer would tolerate this.

Here is the first sentence. You can gauge your own expertise by whether you have a panic attack reading it out loud.

Health Care Service Corporation, a Mutual Legal Reserve Company, which offers Affordable Care Act-compliant individual and family marketplace health plans across Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, is reaffirming its commitment to serving consumers through the marketplace in 2027.

This is the worst bank ive come across. Everyone agree?

4th November Burgess Hill

This article from The Argus highlights a developing international headwind for L3Harris, focusing on local government transparency and public protests in the United Kingdom.

The reporting outlines a growing controversy over the secret relocation of an arms manufacturing facility, adding another layer of PR and operational stress to the company's global portfolio.

The row centers on Unit 3 at Panattoni Park in Goddards Green (Burgess Hill), where L3Harris is believed to be planning to relocate its Brighton factory operations.

Local residents and campaigners from "Burgess Hill Says No to L3Harris" discovered that Mid Sussex District Council systematically redacted explicit references to L3Harris from public planning objections. Residents argue this cripples the public's right to properly scrutinize planning decisions.

The local council stated that redacting an alleged end-user's identity is standard practice for commercial applications involving "minor physical works" where the lawful use of the building is not changing.

L3Harris's Brighton facility manufactures bo-b-release equipment for F-35 fighter jets and supplies we-pons components to the U.S. and Israeli militaries. Because of this, the local operations have been the target of direct action and public protests for over 20 years.

While this localized planning dispute might seem separated from the high-level corporate scandals in Washington, it directly feeds the macro mechanisms driving potential downsizing and a talent drain at L3Harris.

The local activist group has successfully scaled its campaign, sending over 12,500 protest letters to the directors and agents of the park's developer and landlord, Panattoni, urging them to break the lease agreement.

While the first planning application was approved under delegated powers, a second crucial application is still gridlocked. If public pressure forces Panattoni to cancel the lease or if the council delays the secondary permits, L3Harris's entire UK relocation timeline collapses.

When a manufacturing facility's transition hits a wall, the local assembly workers, facility engineers, and site coordinators face immediate displacement because there is no active floor space to execute contract deliveries.

The article explicitly highlights that L3Harris is being publicly labeled as a "billion-dollar arms company" supplying controversial global conflicts.

This intense local scrutiny matches the branding issues the company faces in the U.S. over the ICE homeland security leaks. High-demand aerospace and software engineers do not want their personal names or work locations targeted by aggressive, multi-decade protest groups.

The prospect of working at a facility that draws permanent local outrage, picket lines, and negative press coverage creates an undesirable work environment, triggering defensive resignations from elite talent who can easily jump to less controversial UK technology fields.

With L3Harris's new CEO Sam Mehta attempting to steady the company's production goals following the Christopher Kubasik scandal, managing a public relations and legal transparency crisis in the UK drains vital executive focus. Facing simultaneous multi-committee congressional subpoenas in Washington and local government corruption/redaction allegations in Europe forces the company to adopt a defensive posture, typically resulting in cost-rationalization and global overhead consolidation to protect investor returns.

I wasn't at Medtronic long, but it was enough to make me regret having the company on my work history. Whatever standing it once had in the industry has taken a serious hit.

WF has a habit of hiring people as consultants that they can't be bothered to train or hire on their teams. As a result, contractors are given the jobs that no one is qualified to do & no one WANTS to do. You'll get blamed no matter what. How you did the project, how long you took, if you wore the wrong color shirt, if you didn't su-k up to the starved for attention boss, if you didn't tolerate the hostile work conditions. Then, they will slander & defame your reputation out the door to the agency & internally at Wells. Avoid it if you can. Just work somewhere else.

Going into the holiday season belk is currently without a store manager at 6 store locations company wide. Some of these job openings have not been posted. Some locations have been without a store manager for over 60 days which indicates Belk is having trouble finding candidates either internally or externally who can fill the position, or perhaps the company’s reputation is causing a lack of interest from qualified candidates.

Not going to sugarcoat it. Pepsi is not what people think it is behind the scenes. The dysfunction, the decisions from leadership, and the way things are handled make you question why you stay. I’m glad I’m moving on.

Having Pepsi on your resume looks great right now, so take advantage of it while you can. The name carries weight, but once people start seeing what’s really going on behind the scenes, that reputation might not mean what it used to. If you’re already thinking about leaving, start looking now instead of waiting for things to get worse. There are opportunities outside Pepsi, and your experience is worth more than staying somewhere that drains you. Get out while you can.

Ameriprise Financial receives low scores on public review platforms like Trustpilot (averaging around 1.4 to 1.7 out of 5 stars)

When someone asked which bank is horrible? The reply was almost always Wells Fargo. Now it appears Truist has unseated them as the worst bank. 99% of people seem to say Truist when asked that question. Does this ring true in your area?

Ok, so most of us are still subscribed to various social media accounts at Oracle. LinkedIn/YouTube whatever. We see who they keep putting in front of us as the representatives of Oracle? It doesn't matter what part of Oracle they are pushing, the "faces" that are doing the talking are like who is that? Why are they talking? Why are they so smarmy? The media people that we are seeing are NOT helping with Oracle's image. Oracle TV. TV = Television = old and obsolete. Some old guy seems to be running these media events and he's like who at Oracle? Or they've got some TikTok stars who think they are catchy or funny? How is showing a "career" as a data tech in one of the data centers a great look for Oracle? WHO is actually making these id--t videos? F1 car racing? Boat racing? The media coming out of Oracle is nauseating. How out of touch does Oracle media have to be these days? Can someone please clean house?

I've heard from various colleagues that Wove is on the way out. A failure. I guess that Ainslie didn't send enough brilliantly quirky emails every week.

But seriously, they hired a LOT of people for that. What's gonna happen? I would wager this is probably a 100+million loss if true. Not to mention reputational.

Wells Fargo Managers are also threatening to make CONTRACTORS ineligible for rehire and are refusing to give reviews to the agencies. For nothing. Out of spite. Save your reputation & don't come to work here.

The Letter to Leadership was good and their call to action, this is ours. Leadership and the Board absolutely need to get their sh-t together, stop the leader revolving-door with swag bags of cash and create stability, but as employees need to stop making things worse too. There’s a difference between calling out real problems and constantly telling the world Crown is dying (when we aren't), collapsing or broke when the facts don’t support that. That noise gets repeated, becomes a narrative and adds to the confidence problem we already have. Hold leadership accountable, challenge bad decisions and demand better, but stop creating new problems while everyone is trying to fix the existing ones. Help each other, stick to facts, protect the business and move forward. Enough is enough, we need to be the examples to the leaders because they need it.

How did we get from being a premier car rental company to a full blown circus and the laugh of the RAC industry?

One of the most effective approaches to damage a firm or companies reputation is to share how poorly they are treating employees. Most clients will stop doing business with Edward Jones and I would imagine it will pursuade others from wanting to do business with Edward Jones. Hit them right in the wallet.

How long does this leadership think we can keep getting these PR hits and getting away with it?

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.

This reads less like a hit piece and more like a victory lap around NKE's virtue-signaling carcass. Many commenters on this forum have posted similar opinions and had them deleted by the mods.

But now it's global news:

The toxicity is so bad, they are BURNING people's reputations with SLANDER for FTE & Consultants. Avoid this place at all costs!!

How about a premium employer?

Thoughts?

Has anyone checked out the reviews and complaints on the BBB website regarding Nielsen? It’s actually quite entertaining but at the same time I’m ashamed for what this company has become.

Now we have a reputation that PayPal is where careers go to wither. Honestly, being laid off is probably a gift at this point.

Why does Uncon have such terrible reputation?

How is that even possible with all the ** happening here?

Can’t post on LinkedIn but say it here

So called analytics “leaders” at Nike who took us down the gutters are congregating at Amgen. Glossy footwear is trivial but meds O-o

If you had to describe Citi in just a couple of words, what would they be? I've got a feeling I know what the majority will be.

The toxicity of Humana is off the charts and they have sleazy lawyers protecting them from all their mismanagement of the business, putting greed before member care, and toxic treatment to employees.

Humana, being one of the largest companies in Louisville and the entire state if Kentucky, is an embarrassment to both.

If I was the Louisville Mayor or the Kentucky Governor, I would probably recognize this and put pressure on Humana to get their house in order and make some changes for the positive, to truly put members first, before shareholders, in regards to the actual business that is their mission. And to start treating their employees much more fairly and to tell Humana to have their Humana Resources department to actually take employee complaints seriously regarding their direct leader’s abuse and to stop protecting the company’s reputation at all costs, even when it flies in the face of all decency.

Hey Leadership!!

Check it out… laid off employees typically want nothing to do with the company that laid them off after they leave.

Guess what else? When their families and friends hear about it, they often don't want anything to do with that company either!!

What a concept! I know if I leave. I am taking my many, many lines and going straight to TMO.

Word of mouth is coming back to haunt these id--ts. Investors take note!

What a joke! How is Fiserv being named the best company to work for. Who did we pay off to get on that list

I love seeing Cengage crumble through this gossip site and my friends eyes who still suffer there until they get a new gig.

I get calls from professors asking for help lol. I just recommended other publishers.

We were one of the most respected American companies. Now we're nothing but a joke. What a sad reality.

I have been without a job for two years now. I owe special thanks to WF. Ever since employers see WF on my resume, my applications seem to be ignored, leaving me feeling as though I have been pushed into early retirement.

Thank you WF.
