Todays Town Hall S H I T Show

I have never in all my life listened to as much garbage or side stepping than covered in today's town hall. So many people unhappy. What really annoys me is that AB stood up and talked complete garbage and did not answer any of the job title or other HR queries at all. It is very clear a large portion of employees are unhappy, and guess what Pearson really do not care. Time to jump from this sinking and toxic ship.


Makes you wonder?

Honest question.
Why the sudden urgency around rebranding town halls, one-on-ones, and skip-level meetings… especially when layoffs are happening or rumored?

What’s the point of pushing culture talk and rebranding if people are worried about their jobs? And why are so many of these meetings being scheduled on Thursdays, the same day layoffs usually happen? That timing alone puts people on edge.

I’m genuinely asking—has anyone been through this before and knows what the strategy is? Transparency would go a long way right now.


Optum Insight Viva Engage Post

“This February, something big is coming. A moment that reminds us why coming together matters, and why our work has meaning far beyond the walls we walk through each day.

On Feb. 25 at 9:00 a.m. CT, we gather for our first Optum Insight Town Hall of 2026. Picture the feeling right before the opening ceremony of the Olympics. The lights lower. The music builds. Teams from around the world step forward with one mission, one goal and one shared purpose.

That’s us.

As one global team, we will come together to celebrate who we are and what we stand for. Trust. Discipline. Teamwork. The power of many moving with one shared purpose.

This year will demand focus, courage, and collaboration. This Town Hall is our rallying point. Our chance to reconnect. To look ahead. To feel the energy of what we can accomplish together.

Get ready. The spotlight is warming. The music is rising. And our story for 2026 is about to begin.”

The writing’s on the wall. That’s all, folks.


USB has lost the best of us

Veteran employee here. Never in my 20+ years here have I felt so stressed, so anxiety filled, so burnt out, and so diminished. Leaders at the top continue to use smoke in mirrors with what seems like government classified secrecy, while all the leaders below them walk the halls with their heads down looking at every employee like their now a disease of the company. It used to exist only in pockets where bad leadership existed. Now even the best of us are walking targets for some unknown reason.
I disagreed that we had a morale issue a year ago in the first Townhall. This year, even those on their first day feel it.
When this all blows over in a few years, like it always does, the best will have survived and those who chose to throw out basic humanity will be the ones hanging their head. This has gone far enough!
