Hope you all post through a proxy server

In case you haven't noticed by now Schwab is defintely involved with this site and it's possibly even a trap set by them. They definitely have administrative access based on the number of posts and comments that get removed. Not so much the layoff info - I think they actually want people to see that stuff so they are prompted to leave on their own and Chuck doesn't have to cut them a severance check. Things that makes the company look bad though soon disappear. Notice how anything about the Peak-SoMo situation quickly gets deleted.


Employee logging needs transparency

If professional employees are going to be treated like children and have every second with fingers on keyboard and/or within the walls of the designated workplace tracked and reported, and those things will be used against them (and they will, even beyond the day/hour requirements, don't think they won't), they should at least be able to see their own swipe in/out and network on/off time (both in the office and remotely). "We know something you don't know" is a terrible practice.


Now that the dust has cleared…

Every move made by the former regime was designed to pump up the stock price so that the supreme leader could cash out. Work 9 hours a day? Stock price. Track your whereabouts? Stock price. Every. Single. Move. While this was going on the leader negotiated a government job - one that he didn’t want, was unqualified for, and won’t keep very long. The kicker: he did it to escape capital gains taxes on the stock sale. On your hard work. On your 9 hour days. The stock, by the way, is down over $100 per share since he cashed out. That’s not just down - that’s a crash. He’s laughing. His cronies are, too. Maybe now that the evil has left the building things might start becoming normal again. I hope so. Nothing wrong with a boring company.


Big Brother

We're getting cameras in our trucks so they can watch our every move. I wonder how many will get disciplinary actions or lose their jobs over this. As if they don't have us stressed out enough, which is a safety issue itself decreasing focus on tasks and productivity. Techs worried to death that if something happens, even if they do the right thing, they're almost 100% getting disciplined. Accountability they say? Yeah, for everyone except management. This company is terrible.


CAO Tracking Hours In Office

Just got word from my manager. Ekene is going to start tracking us on days we are in office. One of the things I enjoyed about WF was the flexibility. I went my 3 days, sometimes I went 4, sometimes 5 depending on what was going on. Sometimes 8 hrs, sometimes less. Sometimes I'd take a long lunch, sometimes I wouldn't eat lunch. I got my work done and didn't have to be treated like a child.


I knew it! They are really monitoring this!

The security Veep told a colleague of mine that communications does "monitor" these posts and even shares them with executives and other leaders. It is nice to know that he is talking as much as he does. So if a security danger-thing happens at our workplace and something had not been reported earlier to stop it from happening, we now know that an attorney can demand the emails and prove that they knew there was a problem that would endanger many of us. Thousands of associates on another post liked a post begging for someone to do something. Thousands of us! That was a massive show of support and a cry for help. They did it on layoffs.com because they can't trust to report it internally. He also told a colleague that he and his team now have to report to HR and he doesn't like that because they ask for too much to be done right away while they sit on their a-s. He said they were the ones that "had a part in fu--ing up some of his team's onboarding" which I wasn't sure what that meant. But the main point is we now know they do read these and can be held accountable when it happens.


Sapience gone, Manual Tracking instead

They're now requiring us to record every task we do with a stop clock for 5 days straight. Its starting with a lot of people in our group. they gave us an excel sheet with tasks they claim are a list of everything we do. the list is missing so many items. you then have to select a task and start a stop clock. you can pause the clock and then start again. we asked what this was for and they said it was to help groups perform better. our offshore people said it's being used as performance tracking. we went to our boss and they said "just complete the form". it's very scary. they don't have everything we do and don't understand what our jobs are but using this to measure us? Why did we get rid of Sapience if we now have to manually track everything we do? We're also being rushed to complete this and some people can not use the tracking sheet because it's broken and they had to start all over. Even though they had a reason it was not completed they're getting requests every day asking if it was done. What is going on here? Why are they making everyone track down to the minute when none of this is right compared to what my actual job is? This feels like they're trying to decide who to fire next but doing it with partial information.
Are other groups being asked to do this??
