#badmorale

I genuinely hate everything about this place. The work, the boss, the people, the politics, it's all awful. This isn't the same company I joined and I'm counting the days until I can get out.

I hate this leadership and I hate this fu--ing company. Thanks for nothing.

I really cannot stand to be here any longer. I’ve been applying for other places and hoping to get something good because being here is terrible

Layoffs are bad press, so layoffs are coming in the form of su-king money from you until you have had enough- or simply cannot afford to work here anymore. Parking in Pittsburgh just went up by 50% with no contact person, not posted on my source to allow for questions. It was bad enough they stole 5% of bonuses of lower-income employees to inflate their stock price. What happened to “we understand the parking concerns, we’re trying to help” (Mike? Eric?) … how does raising prices help Pittsburgh’s lack of parking and public transportation options? You’re putting the burden of this company bleeding money onto your employees. Don’t act friendly in the halls and then stab us in the back on paper.

I used to think things could turn around but I don't anymore. The damage is too deep after one too many bad decisions. I don't think there's any saving this place anymore.

I know it sounds odd considering the state of the job market, but I keep hoping I'll be on the layoff list. I'm too chickenshit to quit, so having them make the decision for me would be perfect. I was excited when we were spun-off, imagining great things, but I was brought back to reality fast. Now all I want is to be out of here.

So, did anyone else leave the employee forum this morning feeling utterly transformed? Because clearly management thinks a few PowerPoint slides and some forced enthusiasm are all it takes to convince us this “transformation” is the best thing since sliced bread. At least they finally admitted the culture is circling the drain—growth, I guess.

And that shiny new building they want to plop down in Scona? A pocket‑sized QP with all the fancy amenities. Because nothing says “we value you” like spending a fortune on a building instead of, you know… fixing the actual problems. Can’t wait to see what astronomical number they pull out of the hat this time.

Hate hate hate

The leaders on this board covering up the poor decisions being made over the past two to three years is epic...right now you are neck in neck with workers that are viewing this board, thumbing up or down!

When the cuts start there won't be enough of you to quell the wave of anger!

Enjoy things for now :-)

How on earth do these people sleep at night? Is this the legacy SF wants to show her children? What a soulless bunch of fools driving this ship. May they ALL someday know the pain that they’ve cause all of us…

In the last several layoffs, our team lost everybody above 50, and even two people in their late 40s. The rest of us are all here. I don't know if this is the case company-wide, but it certainly left a bad taste in my mouth. Really shows us there's no future for any of us here once we hit a certain age.

Why is that?

The Oracle Doormat Principle is a term coined by former employees to describe a psychological state where individuals remain loyal to Oracle Corporation despite experiencing mistreatment, toxic work environments, or career stagnation.

Definition: It is likened to Stockholm Syndrome, where employees become emotionally attached to an organization that has abused them, often internalizing the company culture as a "family."
Causes: The principle suggests that prolonged exposure leads to low self-esteem, fear of change, and a paralysis to act in one's best interest, causing workers to accept pay cuts, benefit reductions, and abusive management without protest.
Criticism: Critics argue this behavior stems from low self-worth and prevents personal career growth, with some advising that if a work environment is bad, it rarely improves and employees should leave as soon as possible.
Context: The term gained traction on layoff discussion forums, often appearing alongside complaints about dry promotions (more workload for no financial upgrade) and perceived corporate cultures of fear.

It’s the same story everywhere, but it feels especially absurd at our
company. VPs and above fly business class, enjoy generous budgets they
seem to circulate among themselves, and receive inflated bonuses for
minimal impact. Many of them likely couldn’t find another role in this
industry paying even half as much.

Shame on the board for tolerating an ineffective CEO. Shame on the CEO for
building an ineffective C-suite. And shame on us for continuing to work
here.

Sick of seeing RVs face on linkdin plastering bullsh-t to the public and everyone else who fans over him on there while destroying careers behind the scenes. Oh look hosting our board trash in DC. Spending my millions at the expense of bnys employees headcount reduction. Cut 100 people this week so we can eat fancier meals . Cheerio fu----s

Enough with the nonesense from certain people.
No one wants to hear it anymore, no one wants to participate in it, no one likes you, no one likes your constant negativity, no one likes your entitelment, no one likes your doom and gloom, we are tired of your nonsense.

So Just Stop. Your continued efforts to stoke bitterness, lower morale and cause drama are no longer acceptable.

I remember when everyone actually loved working here. Leadership talked to us openly, team events were fun, people smiled and laughed. Now look at it. Layoffs all the time and it seems like the more people like you, the more likely you are to get cut. They've lied to us over and over again. All that's left now is worry and stress. I'm so tired of this.

Those are the three words I'd use to describe NCR today. And to think I used to like my job.

I finally decided it was time to give up on FIS and started applying. Honestly, this company makes you feel so sh---y about yourself that I went in thinking I wouldn’t be able to land anything.To my surprise, a couple weeks in, I have two offers, both paying significantly more.
Put yourself out there. Believe in yourself. Don’t let this record breakingly bad executive team and their leadership make you lose confidence in your future.

This place pays cr-p, is unsafe, toxic, and with horrible management. I'm not sure why anybody's goal would be to stay at US Foods long term. I've been looking for something else for a while as it is, getting them to pay me to leave would truly be a dream come true.

We’ve become a joke. A punchline. At this point, I wouldn’t even be sorry to turn my back on this place.

I just want to do my actual job and go home. Instead, I spend hours in meetings where nothing gets accomplished, where we generate more questions than answers, and where people just complain about things that no one is going to fix. It is exhausting and completely pointless.

All anybody cares about here is making more money for those on top. We're not even an afterthought.

Do they not realize that happy workforce equals profits and unhappy one brings major drops in productivity? It's been proven again and again. What's their aim here? To keep making us more and more miserable until what? We quit? Is that what this is all about?

Share price in decline consecutively for years

Portfolio in decline for years

Talent in decline for years

CEO & Leadership team in decline for years

Longest period of no raises in any major IT company - they must hold the record

No strategic direction for years

I could go on and on, it is this the worst company out there?

The reviews are going to be devastating when the survey comes out immediately after managers are forced to deliver the SLT messages with a smile and keep opinions to themselves. The messenger is going to get the blame and I wonder if this is by design by SLT for justifying another round. My group has at least twice as many chapter leaders as we need if teams are going to become 10-25 people instead of smaller squads. What will happen to them all?

Cutting bonuses drastically by raising metrics incrementally every year, until they're just out of reach. Q1 2026 quarterly bonus dropped $1500 for me compared to other quarters and my performance increased this year. The base isn't the best, so you have to rely on bonuses to make up for it. All that makes people want to do it put in less effort, which I'll be doing.

AW in his TH in Asia Pacific is so full of himself. It just goes to show how out of touch the leaders are. Employees, you are nothing but a commodity, like a cow or horse for sale. Imagine telling the entire population who were present that your wife accompanied you on the trip (which is fine) and was out sightseeing and shopping, while you messaged to the livestock why they are being sold. And sarcastically replying to one employee who asked about what's left with his job scope. For those impacted, stay positive, you might be better off in the new company. Chevron has zero interest in Asia Pacific.

if we are in same circle going on and on with demoralizing layoffs, same stupid upper managements who has no clue or leadership quality, no new design of revolutionary shoes and direction then Nike's clock is ticking as we speak.

EH and new admin has here past 18 months. And 3 to 6 months will put his admin past 2 years. If they cannot come out new strategy, design and campaign with Nike's resource then we can say that EH is not right person. Or bluntly put, a failed turnaround CEO.

IF EH admin. cannot come out with new direction any time soon then Nike will be in deep sh-t and time to look for someone new.

We have no money for you it belongs to the Execs.

DXC Technology reported that EVP, CES Venkataraman Ramanathan received an equity grant in the form of restricted stock units. The award covers 158,155 shares of common stock, granted at no cash cost per share as part of compensation.

Each RSU converts into one share of common stock when it vests. The RSUs are scheduled to vest in three equal annual installments beginning May 12, 2027, spreading the benefit over several years. After this award, Ramanathan holds a total of 244,935 shares of common stock, including unvested RSUs.

How much worse can it get than the situation I'm in now? Constantly worrying about cuts, dealing with an abusive manager who thinks fear is a legitimate managing tool, and being significantly underpaid compared to market. If I'm laid off, I'll be jobless but my future will look more promising than the one I see if I stay here.

They keep proving this every single day.

Whenever I sit in on a team meeting, nobody talks. Nobody volunteers ideas. Nobody seems to care. And when people stop caring, the company stops working. I think we're watching the slow collapse.

I'm carrying the team while three people next to me do nothing. Hard work isn't rewarded here. So why am I still ki-ling myself?

Junk company

The layoffs are always happening. The changes never stop. The goals are made up. Nothing makes sense. I've never seen a place so consistently designed to make people miserable. I think they want us to quit.

Wasn't just rumors for the group I'm in. Teams is full of people sharing what time their calendar invite that just came in is for with HR + some leader. Everyone promising to give each other recommendations if needed, posting personal emails and phone numbers just in case, etc.

Don't know the count yet. Waiting to see if/what time my meeting will be. Bad vibes for sure.

The rumors weren't wrong for everyone.

Now I think they actually enjoy it. The cruelty isn't a side effect. It's the goal.

State farm been getting over on everyone lately when hear it is we pay our bill faithfully every month but can't help customers that pay that bill every month my house was had water damage that mess up my daughter and son room they try to offer me 500 dollars what is that going to do get some materials ok they told me it was my roof I got it fix out of pocket and they didn't want to help me fix my children ceiling I wish I never ever dealt with them

I'm leaving, and I can tell you right away I won't miss the endless approvals, the ancient systems that break daily, or watching my coworkers lose their minds. I was hired to build new things and spent four years keeping old junk running. This place broke me.
