It’s wild how the people who don’t do their jobs are always the first ones to escalate you as “difficult to work with” the second you call out an issue. Instead of management holding those lackluster employees accountable, they make you feel like the problem for trying to help the customer and actually get things resolved.

Because doing YOUR job means doing MY job, too.
This place has seriously crushed my spirit.
The Goldman Sachs managers who have taken over GP&T the last three years have made me feel like I’m a horrible employee who no one gets along with despite getting positive ratings on the BNY feedback and emails from Sales recognizing my contributions.
My past reviews even stated that I’m a trusted colleague, respected and get along with internal partners and customers.
Now, I find myself questioning my ability and every interaction, afraid to speak up about bad decisions or technical issues.
I’m like a turtle wanting to pull into my shell now.
Current management loves the boot li---rs, that’s the problem.
Every time the managers in India suggest something, I just say "Yeah, that's great, let's do it!". I really don't care what they do at this point. This is just a paycheck.
Yeah, no one really likes bootlickers all that much. Shocker...
Some managers especially the ones who get uncomfortable around long‑tenured employees who actually know their stuff take any professional pushback as a personal attack.
After meeting with my manager today, it’s pretty clear I’m being lined up for the next layoff, and honestly I’m done.
This year, I got VIP awards and great feedback sent directly to my manager but the moment I questioned a colleague and her on something that was clearly delaying customer onboarding, I’m suddenly the problem.
Lesson learned: let the customer suffer and let the business lose money. Being liked matters more here than doing your job. And apparently the way to be liked is to agree to everything, deliver nothing, and spend 75% of your day talking about personal stuff instead of work.
It is also wild and noteworthy that anyone who knows the job, has good knowledge of the organization and has the guts and gumption to correct wrong statements with facts and call out bad strategies or nearsighted directives, end up disappearing. This is because they are perceived as threats to management. This is especially true of Indian so called ‘managers’.
This company is decaying from within.
