TOXIC Hiring Culture

Let me tell you I miss the way the bank was 10 years ago. The hiring culture is so disgusting. If your boss doesn’t like you, you can never escape! The moment you post for a role your boss gets an email saying what role it is and links to the position (which includes the hiring manager’s name). If they don’t like you (personality clash) all they have to do is reach out and badmouth you. In the interview process the candidate gets an email stating the hiring manager may reach out to your current manager for “performance feedback.” So, you NEVER get a fresh start. One person who personally doesn’t like you can destroy your entire career!

Also, regarding performance ratings, I overheard a leader and their manager talking about how to tank someone’s “exceeds” scorecard metrics by dipping into “behaviors.” This is because it’s all one rating now that the “what” and “how” are one. Be prepared to get ROYALLY sc--wed over!!!! This and PIPs now mean they are in the final steps to GUT the most experienced people for a cheaper alternative. Now would be a great time to UNIONIZE!

@a5

Since most of the jobs that may be impacted are probably technical staff, the Teamsters is the wrong union. CWA handles the technical sector.

@1nz

If people really wanted a union then they should have started that process five years ago.

I looked at the websites for the few CWA union posts. They are out of date, contact information is poor at best, and as they always do is tell you that joining a union is a great way for bargaining and job protection. I rather enjoy reading how the union will fight for your rights.

The reality is that no union will be able to protect your job in a right to work state. If you are terminated by your employer then you may not get any assistance from the union.

@1e2 “ If they don't like, they don't just want you gone from their team. They wanted you gone from the bank altogether”

I’m B3 exec and these were the clear instructions from level up to reach attrition goals.

Union now? lolz. yeah ok

@ap If they don't like, they don't just want you gone from their team. They wanted you gone from the bank altogether with no resort, reputation destroyed and defeated by their abuse. That is what OP meant by toxic corporate culture.

Oh Lord that same old of touch union voter. Hard pass

If they don't like you then wouldn't it be in their best interest for you to leave?

Yes, unionize, get a hold of the Teamsters. They will help you unionize and take you through the steps to get there. It Only takes one phone call.
