Trump's tariffs will shut down American auto production. Bye, bye US auto industry. Don't believe it? Go read what the executive chairwoman of Canadian auto parts maker Linamar said. “If, indeed, 10 or 25 percent is imposed, or, in my opinion... — read more 

Noticing a trend of "inconsistent performance ratings" leading to increased hiring of contingent contractors. What’s Behind It? Manipulation a Factors? Let’s Discuss!

This place su-ks and it su-ks hard. I've been here for lets say a while. The headcount every single year gets just a little d-mber. Mangers who don't even understand what they manage, meetings at 5am, the d-mbest man in the room talks to himself... — read more 

Anyone know what this is all about or why it would be given to someone who got a below meets on their annual review? Since they aren’t getting a raise, is this a small token of their appreciation so they don’t complain?

Just informed that my group had a "curve" and I will be receiving a 1 or 2 on EOY review. Manager really didn't state ANY negative experience in my work ethic for 2024. Few small things here and there but nothing to drop my down from "Meets". Says... — read more

IT 2% raise, 7% bonus Big fat slap in the face? Hope I get laid off soon

Was EO going to be offshored but P&I were making too many mistakes so they decided not to?

I haven’t been laid off yet but I’ve been given informal notice of a date. My severance will start on June 10. Is the PTO payout combined with my first severance payout installment or a payment cut separately? I don’t have it displacement package... — read more 

One of the last OG’s of Wells will be playing golf soon.

I’m getting reorged under a new manager to a position with much more responsibility. Managers, is there a way to turn this into an off cycle promotion or something? It looks an awful lot like more work for the same pay and job title.

I was laid off in September so I didn’t receive my 401K match. What if I am rehired within 6 months? Can I get it?

I was told if you are laid off in Q4, you are still eligible for bonus. Obviously many people are not in contact with their old managers (or their managers were laid off too). How and when do you find out if you got a bonus this year in this... — read more

So, I learned I will get no merit this year, though I'm grateful I still get my bonus. No merit as I'm being laid off this spring. Does that seem right? Aren't merits a "reward" for last years performance? I'm so tired of the amount of rugs that have... — read more 

Was it you or Charlie ?

And I’m terrified of losing my job. A lot of my colleagues lost their jobs soon after they turned fifty, and the vast majority of them have been struggling ever since to find something else. Corporations are wasting so much human capital. At fifty... — read more

Mine is 15% bonus with a 3% raise (east coast). What's yours?

Cuts to staffing have gone too far. My US team is expected to do India 'clean-ups' everyday and then do our own work pushing code through the DevOps gauntlet. This means 10-12 hours day without compensation for extra hours. Of course extra hours... — read more 

It's impossible to get anything done when you have a near 1:1 ratio of managers to IC's on calls. They just end up wasting everyone's time and su-k the life out of productivity with their constant tangents.

Will Charlie do the same?

Retaliation is starting to feel like the norm around here. Instead of fixing problems, speaking up just puts a target on your back. Not to mention, it’s frustrating to see how reporting problems to HR often leads to more trouble than solutions. No... — read more 

Would you take a voluntary severance if this was an option? I sure would.

When will bonus and comp get the green light to be shared?

Severance service/payout weeks unchanged. Maybe this will keep the repeat questions and conspiracies from popping up on here. Let the 2025 season begin!

Can managers track the actual hours of the day I’m in office, or just the total amount of time? If I worked 2pm - 9pm one day, would the reporting show me as signed in office for 7 hours, or specifically from 2-9pm?

Some have written that they are going to be displaced in 2Q (assuming for non-core location strategy). Does this mean managers have already notified people?

Or we are just the pioneers?

Hmmm Lead engineer 11% ...doesn't sound okay with Exceeds

So, after all the cuts it appears I'm the only American left on the team. Everyone else is Indian. All the new hires are India contractors or FTEs. Seems to be a pattern here... guess my days are numbered.
