Every damn time them layoffs hit, I tell myself that's it, time to bail. But then I chicken out, thinkin' maybe things'll settle down for awhile. Except they never do. Next thing you know, another round hits even sooner, and here I am still takin' their cr-p.
Folks who walked, how'd they finally do it? Yeah this job su-ks, but starting over at square one is a whole different kind of scary. At least here I know what kinda bullsh-t to expect.
8 years and you still don't understand it nor want make the effort to resolve, you are the doofus who has drank and believe in the toxic corporate kool aid.
Same comment for last 8 years-what a doofus.
@OP+1jsf3gnds People are finally starting to see how they operate. They do not value tenure. Their mission is to turn and burn anything that is considered an expense to them with the exception of their chosen ones. They are a very mentally sad group of people who only care about themselves and their image. What they say is not to be believed nor trusted.
I am currently employee and have been for 31 years and have now had to endure the last year and the next 8 months in the injury Department with a team manager who is an effing a**** now wants to Performance Management me! I've been an employee who for 30 years has met or exceeded expectations I just want to retire at the end of this year. And in case anybody wants to question my work ethic I sit down at my desk at 8:00 a.m. and I do not take breaks I do not go to the bathroom and I answer my phone all day long.
So any of you trollers DO NOT question my work ethic. I have been a faithful and loyal and hard-working employee for this company for over 30 years
Well, if you make the move, you have to act. After the HCL “opportunity” was given, i decided I had given enough to a company that did not value parts of its staff, so I quit.
I am not going to say it was the easiest decision, but it made me take action
said like a true lackey at upper management, they lay off people all the time they just avoid calling it it that to salvage their reputation which for some reason i cant seem to understand why they care about knowing all the other atrocious things they have done and they dont seem to care about their image for those but "lay offs" seems to be taboo word, they fire people all the time they just do it slowly and indirectly to avoid the words "lay off" what a fraud.
there have NEVER been layoffs at State Farm
I was a long timer. Almost 4 decades at the Farm. Almost 3 decades in agency. It was ki-ling me, and I knew it. So for the last 20 years, I lived on half and saved half. Never upgraded to the huge home. Stopped chasing the State Farm awards. Lived a modest lifestyle and walked away at 60 on my own terms. Not fabulously wealthy but OK. Recently had a huge health scare. If I had stayed, I’d have died at my desk at 61. Glad I saw what was coming and planned for it.
OP is a great example of life’s complainers that are afraid to do anything about it-except complain more….
I think the longer that you have been there the harder it is, because you have nothing to compare it to. I have worked for 6 different companies in the past 20 years and SF was the most toxic. Nowhere else was even close. That is why it was a no brainer for me to jump ship after 18 months. Dreading work when you are there 40 hours a week is soul crushing.
Here is to hoping you find your courage and passion. Life is too short.
