I spent years building my reputation as a strong employee, with nothing negative on my record, only for things to go completely downhill under the newer management in my group. I've been experiencing threatening and retaliatory behavior, and it's taken a serious toll on me. My health coverage is essential, and there aren't many comparable jobs where I live, so I'm stuck for now. I'm still doing my job, but I won't keep sacrificing myself for a company that has treated me this way.

Not worth my health this place. I work till 9pm most nights and weekends.
@d8 That’s what happens when Visa only hires ex consultants for leadership positions. All they do is look for ways to cost cut and su-k the life out of a once great company
@OP what does this have to do with layoffs? Seems a bit off color to complain about having a job when others are losing theirs.
@bz agree. They only promote people who su-k up to managers as managers su-k up to theirs. The company leadership is so bad that they have promoted folks with zero to little management knowledge. The company culture is especially toxic after Ryan came into power. rajat and Tech leadership too was equally bad but went from bad to worse.
The leaders hide true problems that the company should focus on and keep cutting folks as part of cost reduction when infact your productivity su-ks largely because of your mismangement. Fire 75% of tech and Product leaders and bring in a fresh set of talent
Guys, stop whining. Most of you don’t even do half of what you’re supposed to for the salary you’re getting. Try leaving IT, leaving the comfortable office, and switch to a regular job — the burnout will disappear right away.
200 % true. Only friends survives here or you need to do admin work for the leader to satisfy their ego. If Karma is there, it will bite all the wrong people.
Retaliation and company go hand in hand . Title only leaders use the restructuring mechanism to let go people who they don’t like.
Ryan fired to many people, and we are lead by people who believe fear is motivation.
July "reorgs" demoralized me, and the increased workload after broke me. Everything is urgent, immenent, and important. I have people I've never met breathing down my neck via email because their last contact was let go. I get asked to do things I have no access to do simply because I'm in that area. These people are panicking, and I do not have to participate.
Ryan made the decision, let him deal with consequences. He gets paid enough to shoulder that responsibility.
A lot of people are hinting burnout in my team. It’s the worst when you’re capable and high performing, they’ll squeeze you like a lemon without any recognition or reimbursement.
