#toxic

interesting seeing more nvidia employees (and former employees) nowadays are speaking up online about the culture. long hours, zero work life balance, managers yelling at people are a default - add to that favoritism and a constant atmosphere of fear. the golden handcuffs come with a lot of BS as well. some teams are ok but i think the toxicity is pretty widespread. most of the mgmt responds to burnout by shifting the blame to the worker and 'efficiency' sh-t, use AI, get organized, su-k it up, etc. ok, now we are sitting on trillions, JH is a demi-god, the competition is several light years behind us and they are still acting like pricks - does any of that success actually translate into being a decent/human place to work?? that's the rant for today.

That’s it, that’s the post. That’s what it feels like inside this dumpster fire.

Finally happened I got my Golden ticket hahahahahahaha I'm free momma, I'm free

Some of you are frustrated and that’s fine. But if your posts are primarily aimed at tearing the company down, you’re not “telling the truth,” you’re creating noise. Noise doesn’t fix systems, it just drains energy from people who are trying to work. If there’s a real problem, bring it in a way that can be addressed:

• Name the issue clearly. (what happened, where, when; no broad rants).
• Describe the impact (who is affected and how).
• Offer a path forward (what you want changed, and what you’ve tried).
  And if you’ve concluded this place isn’t for you, that’s your decision. Make a plan to leave, silently, professionally, and on your timeline. What you shouldn’t do is stay and keep adding toxicity, then act surprised when morale drops and the workplace becomes worse for everyone.
  Be specific. Be responsible. Either help build the fix or exit the problem.
  This forum has recently been nothing but toxic negativity. Prior to coming to Centene I was very unhappy working for a company that was not a good fit and what did I do? I left. It took over a year of searching but I got out. Centene has been an amazing workplace for me. If you think this is the only company that has toxic employees or issues you are sadly mistaken. Look at all the other big healthcare company forums they all have problems. So do yourself a favor and be part of the solution. If you are unhappy and hate your boss I’m sorry this is happening but take control of your career. These corporations don’t care about your problems. They are paying you to work. So come in work and leave. You will be happier in the long run.

Disclaimer - yes, I know it's toxic but when that severance pay dries up and unemployment ends you don't say no.

Does anyone know if when you apply to a role at WF if HR or the new hiring manager actually contacts your old manager? I have no negatives in my records but just curious if anyone knows if this is regular practice.

Ever since I joined this circus of a company 15 or so years ago I have been treated badly. From day one I had haters ploting and talking bad about me. One if the engineers told me wow you really are helpfull and nice. I asked why he said that and was told someone told him I was bad news. Every thing I did was questioned and challenged. I had to fight hard to improve things and inovate. I fought back and was labled a trouble maker. I was piped in my ninth year and I believe it was for pointing out mistakes the group was making. I barley passed the pip and was warned not to make any more waves if I knew what was good for me. I bit my tounge for the past few years and managed to stay afloat. I was offered a move that was supposed to advance my caerer and I had no choice. I was moved into a more dysfunctional competitive group that was pure he-l. No one helped, conversated or interacted with me. It was very cut throat and evil. I dropped to ni last year and to nsi pip this year. I was told bluntly by the supervisor there was no way for me to pass the pip and I should take the pil or retire. I told the sup I wanted to try the pip and they reluctatly started it. The pip was impossible with changing metrics and objectives. I have till early december to complete the pip. I will retire and leave this he-l hole before then. I found out that I was moved in oreder to get rid of me. My former supervisor conspired with my new group to set me up to fail. It was all planned from the beginning. Exxon is an evil corporation and the employees are the worst types of humans. I barely made it to retirement and my enemies did not want me to make it. My 15 years at exxon have been the worst experience of my life. Itv was even worse than my divorce and battle with cancer. At least my lawyer and doctors were on my side. Exxon has been nothing but misery to me from the start to the end. My payout is a measly 310k from the pension because of the intrest rate. I hate exxon with all my heart and soul.

I’ve been doing this a long time and have never experienced a company like PANW. The fear of NA and the toxicity that he creates and demands in the culture is unbelievable (but true). No one will stand up to him or share a different opinion, no one challenges him, no one offers new ideas. So this permeates down to how the rest of leadership treats all of their orgs. No room for individual thought or new ideas. It’s all about the firewall and insisting everything is ok to be in the cloud. Customers know better and PANW is not important to any customer or strategic partner. PANW is a widget at best now and an afterthought - not a strategic alliance. NAs whole strategy is to take advantage of the AI fears and breaches and customers aren’t buying that PANW is the right answer. Can’t even get meetings much less revenue. They’re actively reducing their footprint after being taken advantage of for many years and PANW refuses to accept their role in this and right the ship. They blame sales teams, engineering, services and support and demand we give over our own likeness and image to AI for mandatory ‘trainings’, and refuse to listen to customers when feedback is provided on what they need from partnership or product innovation. Leadership brags about working all the time and demanding their people are available on vacation or during times of personal loss. Oh. And try to find true diversity in leadership. I’ll wait….

Big axx holes to save themselves they are putting blame on engineers saving themselves
Sh-t people and sh-t pls
Escape before it’s too late

What I was told from an LL4 who quit recently is ford is back to doing the “forced stacked ranking” they got in trouble for in the early 2000s. So even if everyone on your team met their deliverables, they’re picking a few to rate “1”. It’s easy to point to badge swipes or someone being a remote worker as a reason to rate them a 1, especially on a team when no one actually deserves a 1. Ford has gotten increasingly toxic as a workplace. Keep your resume up to date and never stop applying externally. 4 days required in office is draconian and a lot of the best talent has already left

Bumping from @at+1m3ksj36n for important info.

Most of you seem to hate this place more than a healthy amount, and yet you are constantly worried about being cut. Why? Wouldn’t it be in your interest for State Farm to pay you to leave and find a place that would make you happier? It would certainly be good for your health to leave a place that is making you so angry and toxic.

You will not grow your career here. Instead you will drown in confusing political games that make no sense. The work environment is so toxic it is genuinely damaging to your mental health. There is nothing here worth staying for. Nothing.

CXO is over and what’s left behind is so toxic. Pods not working. Who even is Wei-Lin and what’s the true purpose or her “playbooks”? Something isn’t adding up.

Can Jonathan save the org or is it too far gone?

Every Sunday, I wish they just lay me off when I walk in Monday mornings

choose your metaphor: tentacles, fu---s, metastatic cancer

It is well known up has cancer causing locomotives, yet they still run these indoors forcing people to breath the toxic substances.

Got hocked (laid off) again, the third time for me. I actually felt a sense of relief as the company is getting progressively more toxic due to Hocs management style. No intention of coming back. Honestly if Hoc keeps doing this they’ll have problems finding good employees and the swamp will just get more toxic. This was a masterclass on how not to run a company. Staring my own business now.

GET OUT and start living.

I have worked at Cigna for 10 years and can say the leaders are inept and ruthless. Toxic and stressful environment. Do more, get less. No appreciation and threats of layoffs. Best of luck to anyone impacted today.

It’s a mystery lol

Everybody knows it's true. Dell executives and overall management are greedy, incompetent, and worthless. The only reason the stock is up is because they keep laying off more and more employees. That artificially jacks up EPS.

I have been here less than a year and noticed over time that in times of high anxiety whomever runs the Comcast corporate handles including @Comcast, @FWC26Philly (World Cup) views my personal instagram stories to monitor what I’m doing when I’m not in the office. Like during the week or weekend.

I brought it up to my manager at the time and she was shocked that someone one the team was doing that. Honestly it’s so creepy to me because I do not have a personal relationship with my immediate team due to how toxic, gossipy they were when I started. I am here to do my job, get paid and go home. Has anyone else has these “monitoring spirit” team members and how do you deal with them. Im also one foot out the door after the bullsh-t I have seen, the lack of accountability and corporate platitudes.

And that's especially true for Exxon. Be smart and start looking for a way out. This place will chew you up and sp-t you out without a second thought.

Fiserv clients , Fiserv stakeholders , Fiserv associates -we all know this place is f’kin done - the guys at the top care about nothing but for $$$$ they can steal , fill their pockets and run over hard working poor associates. Depressing , toxic workplace environment - do not come here - no one cares , seriously. This place will very soon be buried into the ground , no longer sustainable , it is DONE and DOOMED

Now they want to fire you if you transfer a call they just looking for a way ti remove you ! Filing a complaint against them as they are just wrong in every way !This is America we don’t play this cr-p here ! They are the worst company ever ! The CEO makes billions off your backs it’s time to quit and discover sold us lot to crime lords

In my almost 20+ yrs with this company, I am now convinced it is not what you know, but who you know. The company is full of painfully unqualified leaders who are driving us to the ground. The toxicity is so unhealthy people are just trying to survive and do so by backstabbing each other. One thing I find very disgusting is to see people shamelessly flirting with leaders to be in good graces with them to keep their jobs or get ahead. Get out while you can, this isn’t worth anyone’s mental health and sanity. This isn’t the company it once was. It’s a toxic boys club supported by equally toxic women.

Here comes to toxic positivity, all the id--ts who drink the kool aid will tom tom about how they are lucky to work for such a great brand and then have learnt so much and of course the people!
Either they are true id--ts or they trying to su-k up the the VPs hoping they will get to keep their jobs with this toxic sh-t! Happens every time.

Lots of rumblings about 10/6 for IT. Good luck out there.

Zero opportunities for growth and there was so many pricks up in personal business who cared about being a desk slave in the office and physical optics more than the work you do and help your team with!! Bunch of pathetic leaders who cannot lead and focus on all the wrong things

Our PL and Manager seem to talk off and/or flex exceedingly in accordance with what was announced that our small team can do. Our PL came manage her own teams, forgetting who she approved for time off. When our day comes for our PTO we are chastised in a team meeting how it’s put her in inconvenience to staffing. We can’t even have our earned PTO in peace. Our team is so toxic, intimidating, and abusive. The stress is unbearable. We are all looking for a different job before we get reduced but so far nothing. And can we talk about reverse discrimination here??? It is real, folks.

Survey came out again. On my team our Manager consistently since being in her position from this past January brings up in our team meetings an intimidating tone about what we answer to the survey questions. Toxicity at its finest. We are all scared on a daily basis, afraid to speak up, and yet the one place we can express our concerns through our monthly surveys we are intimidated to persuade us into being afraid to express ourselves. I am general in what I share in those surveys and for good reason!! The one place to relief stress in an honest, forthright manner, and this is what we get: intimidation in hopes of silencing us to protect herself to maintain her own job security. So toxic.

All supermajors are shrinking workforces either by layoff (e.g., Shell, SABIC), demotion (Chevron’s firing and rehiring at lower CL). We are too cheap to pay severance, our mantra has been to offshore jobs and PIP fire US workforce and hire aggressively to manage average pay per employee down in US. If you are unsatisfied with your ranking, it has nothing to do with your performance, it is all about how your political manager played the musical chair during ranking meetings and sacrificed you for someone else. Leave the toxic job before as soon as you get an opportunity. You will never reach 55 or a retiree status here by being a good worker (impossible to be a good manager in current EM).

This company just forces a ton of cr-p into stores leaving us to take the blame. We get paid to be the scapegoat for this sorry company.

I’d rather x than work at BNY another year.

I’ll start…
I’d rather insert my arm into a bear trap and gnaw it off with my own teeth than work at BNY another year.

I went from really liking my job to dreading it. And it happened in six years I've been here, which is not that long for such a drastic change.

Can BP do a proof of concept and identify those toxic personnel who benefited from the BL era and were artificially promoted in an effort to detoxify bp?

Also identify middle managers who’s claim to fame is making more process and hurdles…identifying just 20 of these operatives and discarding them would do wonders for productivity, profitability, and safety..

I wanted to share a serious concern regarding the toxic work culture and ongoing mismanagement within our organization.
Over the past three years, we have been trapped in an unsustainable cycle. Leadership consistently chooses underperforming vendors who fail to deliver on their commitments. It is an open secret that these vendors are missing deadlines because they lack the capability, and many suspect that commissions are being funneled behind the scenes while the internal team is forced to pick up the slack.
Because of these poor strategic choices and mismanaged feature implementations, we are constantly being thrown under the bus. We are forced to work consecutive weekdays and weekends to cover for failing vendor deliverables. Specifically, leadership figures like sen*il, SD OMR, Rjt, SD Arn, and their directors foster an unreasonable environment where everything is expected immediately, with zero regard for employee burnout or the root causes of failure. It is the same cycle across the board—giving contracts to vendors who will later benefit them personally.
This mismanagement is now severely impacting our products. Visible is one of the best digital prepaid brands we have, but as part of the NSA migration, they are currently migrating the legacy Visible system to postpaid NSA. That system is fundamentally flawed; if it goes to production, heaven knows how many customers will face issues. Additionally, our VXP platform system is also flawed, and provisions are not even working.

I hope Dan see this post many because all of theses fat leadership our VZ brand losing the market share
