How am I in the minority? It's not the same as it was a decade ago, but this is still a god job, especially considering everything that's been happening in the industry.

Wait until you get older and when they try to push you out with nsi, lol
Good for you!! Good job!!!! Here's a gold star ⭐ for your forehead!!
Good for you!
Is that what you wanted?
Happy to oblige.
Why log into a site called "layoff" then?
Instead, go state this on a Zoom channel!
OP must be a BTC engineer who is on EXPAT to the USA
Why agree to train BTC people? If I get an email or zoom message from anyone at that office I just ignore it
I loved what I did too. Then I had to train an Indian to do my job, then I was ranked NSI and my trainee was ranked higher.
Amazing how the low paid mistake makers are ranked higher than the higher paid mistake correctors.
EM will have a Valdez level event after all correctors PIPd.
I loved my job in finance too. We were doing real financial analysis and showing the business with data where they were inefficient
Then we outsourced a lot finance and implemented new tools for intercompany accounting. The outsourced people are low paid data extractors without business insights and knowledge. The new tools removed the ability to tie financial results to operations. It’s a huge mess and monthly stewardship stories are now tied to accounting entry, timing, or booking error rather than actual business insights of the number.
@OP Job? Please. It’s all politics and whatever petty games they’re running. Let’s be real: actual work happens in companies that build things or invent new tech. XOM sells oil, we show up, and the paycheck arrives. That’s the whole story.
I know people who enjoy going to the dentist as well. Welcome to the minority.
A decade. LOL. Hang around a bit longer and get back with me.
If you are a hipo then I believe you. Your experience will be very different from what everyone else is going through. Just be warned though that many fall off the hipo track at some point and that is a very painful change.
Before I left, I liked my job. What I hated was the toxic culture, hostile and fickle performance assessment system, outsourcing work overseas and leaving me to clean up the mistakes, increasing workload with fewer opportunities for progression, and a few bad leaders.
It wasn't the job. It was everything else.
I now have a similar job at another company. But they "everything else" that I hated at EM is far less frustrating elsewhere.
