#toxic

Too many old timers in powerful positions just playing game of chess with their resources, shameful. Destroying lives.

You’re either still here because you're new and have no idea you’re now on a 747 on its way into the ground, retiring soon-and praying you can last long enough to make it out, searching constantly for another employer, or just an id--t and think all the screaming, smoke, and flames around you is just special effects for the awesome music video starring you and all your greatness! In that case-thumbs up-you truly are the best of the best!

Has anyone navigated approval of temporary disability or paid leave for toxic workplace issues such as harassment?

My Boeing manager plays favorites openly, and if you're not in the clique, good luck. And God forbid you push back, suddenly you're on their radar in the worst way as in a guaranteed pip. Toxic doesn't even cover it.

It will only be hard for those getting let go. Many imposters have been brought in under DEI for a decade it’s ki-ling the company … let’s not fool ourselves here. Meta has a failing social media platform poor adoption by younger generation. Metaverse is just a creepy place for furies. Meta lost the AI race, lama and other platform just disappointing. When you go woke you go broke. everyone brought in under DEI must go. No more posting those cringe LinkedIn posts to the feed or day in life on TikTok. Time to grind by real masculine energy superstars. Good luck all

After 90% of the MLT was let go in December. Whether you liked them or not everything has gone to sh-t. But today embarks on the official end. The last person standing in Marketing ALedgister was let go. For all of us left in Marketing and are Marketing people, today marks a sad day. She was an amazing leader, she stood up for the right things and defended her people. The global campaign team did not exist before her. She was a fearless leader. Now we’ve been dismantled even more and are stuck with the two worst human beings ever. Marcus and Lindsay are snakes, truly horrible people. From the moment Rita left they planted the seeds and tried to take over. If OpenText stood by what they said when they got rid of the MLT and moved out toxic people and culture why are M&L still here? It’s a sad day when new leaders one, don’t know anything about marketing and two rids those who do just to look smarter. For us who are left, good luck to us, because we are certainly in for a ride.

This company is a big fat tu-d. Specifically, it’s HPE Networking within a tu-d.

I'm fed up of management through fear. You can scare people into doing two or three jobs for the price of one for a while, but not forever. Eventually we just stop giving a damn and go back to doing just our original job. I 'm at the point where I don't give a damn if they fire me or not. I'm just done.

It has never been this clear. The constant stress, the worrying, the intentional withholding of information, all of it feels designed to push people to the edge until they finally say fu-k it and quit. If they can get enough people to simply walk away, it saves them a lot of money. At this point, it is hard not to think that this is part of the plan.

Toxic place. Work that means nothing. Long days. Constant stress. Never feel safe. Old tech. Nowhere to grow. Raises that don't keep up. Bad bosses. Same thing every day. Skills going nowhere. What am I missing?

Is everyone store high stress, bad vibes, toxic energy?

It appears to me there are many 3Mers who are struggling with mental health issues. The constant layoffs, increased workloads, toxicity, harassment, micromanagement, etc. seem to be taking a toll on so many of our colleagues.

The colleagues I spoke with have high anxiety, depression and more. The abuse and harassment triggered PTSD in at least one senior manager.

I am wondering if anyone else is seeing similar issues within their teams?

Please be kind with your responses. I was reluctant to bring up this issue but believe mental health is important and an issue that needs to be addressed by 3M.

If you are searching LinkedIn during your meetings, dont worry, you are not alone. WF has partnered with LinkedIn to promote premium subscriptions by creating a toxic "am I next" workplace.

If there's one skill AT&T has, it's taking something good and ruining it. Nobody does that better.

When your CEO states, "If you don't buy into our strategy, go work at another company" - you are, indeed, working for a toxic company that has ZERO respect for its employees. Truly unbelievable that BE made it to the CEO position!

My mgr got axed... and now I report to an offshore manager who doesn’t really understand what I do. doesn’t even try to... most of the time it feels like she just tells other people to do the things my old manager used to handle.Since all that happened the place has gotten a lot more and more and more toxic, with more offshore managers showing up while the people who actually cared about the work keep getting laid off and everyone keeps talking about AI like that’s the answer to everything.it will never be the answer. horrible.

Some folks I know left stable jobs to come here, thought they were moving up. Less than a year later, laid off. Probably just layoff fodder to even out the demographics. This place ruins lives.

The most toxic workshop culture I've ever seen with ill-fit incompetent management. More, More, More. Angry employees taking it out on one another. Do you think the execs know how it is down here? Horrible attrition, and still layoffs every 2 weeks. I used to be an over achiever, doesn't matter here, you'll only pick up the slack of the duds, bare minimum it is.

I do not remember it feeling like this before. There is a level of fakeness that feels excessive. Conversations that feel transactional. People who can be vindictive, rude, and in some cases honestly cruel. Not openly aggressive, just quietly cutting. It's really kept pulling on me.

I do not have these issues outside of work. That is what makes it unsettling. It makes me wonder if something about the environment changes people, or if I was just naive for a long time.

I had a rough year, so I have tried to account for that. I have tried to tell myself maybe I am just more sensitive right now. But it feels bigger than that. Over the last few years I have slowly lost faith in the culture here, and what scares me most is feeling that cynicism creep into how I see people in general.

I do not want to believe this is just how people are.

Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

Toxicity, bad management, questionable practices, all of it remains. The only thing that actually moves is the downward spiral.

The level of chaos and misery that I am seeing in Irving is off the charts. I've been in corporate America for decades and I've never seen anything approaching this level of cruelty-- unfortunately I think that's the point.

Listen up people, we need to clear up this toxic work environment by documenting and reporting. First start with HR. Then legal.

Or just go straight to legal.

This is a comment I came across from a thread posted not to long ago. Thank you to the OP if you are reading this. It sad to say but it brings comfort for the misery and he-l I am in. Major karma points for you and blessings.

“It’s almost as if you wrote my story, though I’m in the middle of the mess. You absolutely know when there’s a target on your back. You absolutely know when you are shunned and isolated. You know when there is backstabbing because others are insecure and need someone else to blame. And all of it takes a toll. If you speak up, it’s used against you somehow. “Not a team player”, “these are areas you need to grow in”. If you don’t speak up you end up in a slow and silent downfall, and then that’s used against you, with the same line “not a team player”.
So I’ll just add one piece of advice to everything you’ve shared, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!!!! Move in silence and keep factual note. Screen shot conversations, use Copilot, write down face to face interactions daily.”

Constant layoffs, zero respect for staff, and a toxic culture throughout. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.

Between the constant cost cutting and the obvious favoritism, this place is tough to navigate. If you're not in with the right people, your work just doesn't seem to matter. Leadership feels disconnected and the culture has turned pretty toxic. I wouldn't recommend coming here based on what I've seen.

Three years ago today I was released from the bondage of a toxic, unhealthy labor environment…. Yes I choose to work there for 20 years with the mindset that it will get better. IF you’re not appreciated financially for what you do then LEAVE! They don’t deserve your talents.
Next step… to make sure the public knows that they were found guilty on three charges of Military Discrimination… yes you heard me!!! Maybe a Presidential Complaint (that is where you file a complaint against … fill in blank) is on the horizon.. :)

For anyone thinking about employment at Optum, don’t do it!!! Run!!!

I have lost track of the number of times I have witnessed misconduct from hr/people solutions. Their sole purpose is to protect management/c-suite at all costs. Don't waste your time with them. Ignore the bad behavior until you can't take it anymore and decide to take your talents elsewhere.

Wut the managers doin? Are they trying to get all the PTs and MTs to quit?? This place has been as depressing as a broken dishwasher at all you can eat buffet since January.

Another bad 10 years are coming due to QPOET.

Don’t say that one obnoxious team will not have big impact. Please keep in mind that toxicity is contagious.

Time will give the opposition a lesson. It actually already had!

Sums it up.

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.

How about you all step up and actually be leaders.

F*ck you and your buffaloes!

Who are the 3 stooges smiling on the main picture on Insider this week? The ear to ear grins on the center and left guy look so fake.

This is what is wrong with our company. We have so many fake employees at our company who act as hype squad for our fiber growth, wireless net adds, convergence, etc.

You realize the company doesn’t care about you? I cannot stand these teacher’s pets.

HR's only functions now are processing layoffs and firings, and rewarding the few "leadership" cr--s who scurried out of the sl--e to the lip of the barrel. They are shameless ghouls.

It will get ugly…

We may get our paychecks from NTT and have an NTT email address, but we're still the serfs or property of the 'Other company'. Nothing has changed for us, other than throwing a couple of NTT managers into the mix. The toxicity, gas-lighting and manipulation hasn't gone away, infact there is little more of it from the NTT side now.

Also it has become apparent that there are different variables or opportunities that come into play as compared to a real NTT employee. And that is we have none. Instead of being mentored or given the opportunities to further the paths of our own choosing. Obstacles are thrown in our way and under the table deals are forged to prevent one from pursuing anything other than what has been dictated or desired by those above us.

Should you voice your concerns or issues to a manager. Expect the repertoire of how everything is your fault and have your tried to find employment with another company.

If one could sum it up, it would be in the song 'Hotel California'.

Been part of the green eco system for over 8 years but this is the first time in my tenure I can say Fidelity work culture, ethics and associate satisfaction is going down the drain.

Managers are making associates "compete" resulting in instances of everyone fighting to be "visible" within the team, creating animosity between team members, favoring their own pets.

I am not in the same region as my manager so I am one of the lucky ones to feel the heat, after being back to exceptional performer, I'm facing sudden hostility, goal / KPI which makes absolutely zero sense and on top of that feeling burnt out with no appreciation at all.

I am wondering if any other BU's facing similar issue?
