#employeerelations

To all the managers that are giving bogus reviews and letting people go before Christmas, rest well... You could be next! Your job can be moved offshore at any time too. Keep drinking the Kool-aid they are serving. They are NOT for the employees. It's all about GREED! Merry Christmas!!!

Caroline (SVP) is visiting Lake Mary today. Anyone know the purpose of their visit a day prior to the last day of the folks affected by the layoffs? The leaders already look like they are putting on fake smiles and fake energy.

i actually heard this rumor! GRINCH!

Dell is just moving the deck chairs around in the titanic for 2026. We’ve got the same leaders in ISG and CSG but in new positions because they’ve either laid off or the other good leaders quit or moved into different roles. Now we are stuck with the ignorant and arrogant. We are going to go through the same ideas but they’ll be “new” because they came from new, unqualified people who just have no business being in their roles. They way they got to them wasn’t by earning them but because people left or moved. Now we all have to deal with the “new” but not “new” ideas.

The realities are simple. We need better leadership. Leadership that’s not going to think they’re amazing but industry leaders with a real perspective on the industry.

Right now we’ve got a bunch of kids a$$ leaders who all have their own agenda. If you can leave in 2026 you should. It’s going to be a frustrating year.

BTW - hammer them on the eNPS.

The strategy is simple, keep making $500 - $750 million a year profit. Make the employees and other assets sweat to enable the Execs to make millions and enjoy other perks. Employ weak Exec froends who are not capable, Come up with fantasy themes like Cloud Right, Technical Debt, AI, Rebranding, musical chairs to keep employees and investors on board. Rinse and repeat for years.

Laid off a year ago after being there 15 years (EMC brought into Dell). I had a larger quota (20-30 million a half but I will admit I was semi over paid compared to market averages)...but I was lucky and was immediately employed by a competitor a week after posting up my looking for work banner on LinkedIN.

I wasn't replaced by Dell for a while and they finally got headcount or whatever to replace me and they did it with a guy fresh out of college. Turns out they couldn't get meetings or sell anything.

Now here is where it gets funny. Encouraged by his lesdership, the new kid has the nerve to reach out to me and ask me if I can introduce him to my old customers (bear in mind i'm his direct competitor now and he knows this). Absolutely laughable.

That is how they are running things now, I suppose.

Please give the money to charity in the future instead of insulting your employees who have delivered everything for the company.

I heard about this on our layoff page for my company and how y'all had 100,000 hits on one thread and like 4000 employees asking for your help. I came on here to look and didn't plan on commenting and wondered how y'all let this get this out of control and hurt so many of y'alls employees when this looks like an easy thing to do to gain y'alls employees trust again. Then I remembered the name of y'alls company and called my friend in our procurement and sure enough, y'all are a supplier. So now they are looking at this thinking they shouldn't be. Bless y'all but it seems like y'all should listed to your employees and take care of them. This is just not needed and it hurts what we call your 'brand'. SMH

The strategy is not working so well to delight the customers. Don't CEOs realize that word of mouth via your worker bees is crucial to company success. Anyone else have friends jumping ship? I am not even bad mouthing VZ, this is all being done based on their own intentions from all the news about the RIF and knowing I was a casualty.

and jump on one of those little rafts way down below

staying at Dell in 2026 makes no sense at this point, time of change is here....

I’d really like to hear your thoughts about our situation in this department. It’s important to me that we’re honest with each other. Do you think it would be better for us to move on as soon as we secure another job, or should we hold out for severance? I value your perspective.

Ok, let me get this straight, Walgreens wants employees to donate to a fund to help under paid coworkers? Am I understanding this correctly? That can't be what it truly is. No company would expect its employees to make up the pay gap for them not paying their employees a living wage? Am I missing something or is Walgreens really that out of touch???

Joined TR was promised growth opportunities. Came here and it’s nothing but chasing a carrot on a stick. Manager kept saying visibility etc but I felt like that was just an excuse to make me do more work. I have the work of a Lead but do not have the title or pay.

On top of this there is no internal mobility because guess what’s the cherry on top of the cake? They offshored 90 percent of jobs in my org for roles I’d consider because it’s cheaper! Thanks TR! Oh on top of this annual layoffs!

I was just wondering if it's common here. When someone puts in their notice at Ford, does management ever try to get them to stay with a better offer on the spot? I haven't seen it happen to anyone on my team, but I know some other companies do it. I'm just curious if it's even a thing they consider.

Are there any CHC employees left or have they all been laid off?

Some thoughts on the recent letter that came out from Jen Wells (Chief People Officer, lol…). I am a former employee - I left the org to pursue a completely different career in the public sector six months ago and could not be happier.

I have been an RSR, DSL, ZBM, Change Leader among a few others during my decade+ with PepsiCo on the Frito side.

To those that know someone who, despite their great qualities, have been swept up in the layoffs: rejoice; everyone will feel a great weight lifted from their shoulders on their last day with company. The entirety of my career at PepsiCo was fraught with stress, sleepless nights, and fear of being punished for things completely out of my control.

I sacrificed a great deal for the organization at great personal cost - I know I’m not alone in this experience. Many times I felt I had to choose work over family, and for what? Chips? Ridiculous.

Even the minutia of missing a price tag in the market resulted a full blown 1:1 with a senior leader and a reprimanding.

The perspective of these spineless leaders to crack down on meaningless metrics is simply an admission that they do not know why the company continues to fall flat on its face. At the end of the day, when THEIR boss comes knocking, they can say “well look! I did X 1:1’s and sent all of these emails to make sure we executed in the market! It can’t be my fault!”

All this to say, leverage your resumes, don’t burn bridges with people you enjoyed working with, and support each other through the changes - they’re coming one way or another.

Best of luck - you’re better off without this place.

Will I receive the bonus for 2025 if I leave Ford in January 2026? Usually bonus is paid in March. Any of you have experience with this?

I’ve been hearing this date mentioned frequently. Can anyone confirm?

Is anyone else hearing chatter about a potential massive walkout of PNC employees being organized at some point after there is an announcement about the 5 day return to work requirement?

Can anyone confirm what these differences are in the remote vs hub merit pools? Does hub get more, or does remote just get less?

So my store was safe from those agent weirdos or whatever and that made me happy BUT Just found out we’re getting passed to another DM. That’s literally the fifth one in six months. Is this place actually a joke??
And of course, it’s her. She’s actually a total NPC. She acts like a robot and thinks leading by fear is a flex. It’s so so bad. She cares about nobody but herself.. I’ve  dealt with her before and it’s a nightmare.

To make All this even worse daily I hear is 'layoffs this' and more closures that.' Honestly? I hope this new whole giant district exposes these incompetent “leaders” so they can finally see what it feels like to be just a number. Thought about spamming Dan’s stupid feedback thing  but like he actually cares? Yeah right. Whatever. 2026 here we come

HC had a meeting to talk about feedback on the new policy and out of our 7 wealthy white SLT GP's FIVE were working from home, one was even taking the call from the car??? It's Tuesday, isn't Tuesday a required in office day? So for you marginalized peons with four kids working a part-time job because we don't even pay you enough, be in your seat from 8-5, we will do whatever we want.

Thoughts on our new leader in Medicare, Martin, coming from Amazon? Thoughts on our good old Aaron leaving us after 29 years’ of service?

Do we have a communications team? Do they help the senior leaders with their messaging? Sure seems like the answer is no. Employee messaging is terrible - inconsistent, inauthentic, and lacks humanity. What’s happening here?

Division meeting today just ended. T.P says more ISPs coming. No number given, just the same ole same ole "transformation" jargon. Also, 700 HBAs impacted by the new RTO policy. They did this knowing a lot of those folks will rage quit or simply not be able to do RTO, leading to termination. Why is EDJ leadership actively at war with the very people who make the company home office work? It sure as Sh1t aint the GPs pulling this wagon.

They mistreat employees and treat them like garbage all year and then thank everyone after layoffs too

It was nice until it wasn't and seeing once great company sinking fast bcs of Stankey and his stupid decisions that ruined the culture is awful... one recommendation, if you could, try working elsewhere, ATT will su-k your soul and dreams.

Chevron will continue to decline as long as the current crop of executive leaders are at the helm. They are simply out of ideas. The stock price has been moving sideways for years despite buybacks, cost cutting, acquisitions and divestitures, and layoffs. Our reserves impress nobody. Our projects still run over budget and over schedule. Exxon is eating our lunch.

The executives are desperate and all they can think to do is desperately flail at changing the window dressings and offshoring more work to cut costs, quality be damned and forget about increasing reserves or investing in exploration. They talk about AI hoping to ride some of that wave in the market but it’s just lip service at this point.

They forgot we’re an oil and gas company and now all of us peons have to pay the price for their lack of competent leadership and dereliction of duty. It’s going to get worse before it gets better - and it’s never going back to what it was. If you’ve got more than 5 years left in your career and have a decent alternative employment opportunity I’d highly recommend taking it.

I’m curious with the changes to remote if I would still be eligible to move up in my role to the next job grade. As of 2025 I was able to. I know a new position all together would be hub only.

Also, can a remote employee still earn an extraordinary performance?

Any managers or HR here that can share insights please?

For the avoidance of doubt:

• “CVS” refers exclusively to Connected Vehicle Services, a division responsible for vehicle connectivity systems, diagnostics, software interoperability, and associated service delivery.
• Discussions or references to external pharmacy entities (including retail pharmacy terminology) are *not applicable in this context and should not be used in professional communication, documentation, or reporting.

Yes, it’s confusing. No, we won’t change the name.

Recently, there has been an increase in informal commentary including eye‑rolling, sarcasm, impulsive sighing, repeated references to color associations (notably orange hues), and metaphorical language around unexpected operational incidents.

To maintain clarity of communication and alignment with organizational values, employees are encouraged to refrain from directing questions to unrelated external entities and projectiles (e.g., inquiries about over‑the‑air "balloons" or pharmacy analogies regarding connectivity issues). This is to ensure our products are released by 2030 as part of our vision to increase diversification economically, socially, and culturally through Model e.

I’m exhausted from hearing the same promises over and over again about backfilling positions that never actually get filled. We’re overloaded, the work keeps piling up, and every month we’re told help is coming, but it never does. Add in the empty promotion talk, and it’s getting harder to stay quiet.

I can't understand the logic the leadership is using to choose who stays and who goes. They've let some really skilled people go recently for no clear reason. Some newer folks as well, who joined maybe a year or so ago. Their decisions just seem completely random.

Unions in the private sector seek 6%pay rise.oops waters don't recognise unions.same wages over 10 years here.leeches

Any insight to rifs being talked about on Dec 16 or Dec 18? What parts of wellmed will be affected?

I keep seeing these comments blaming being laid off and the sorry state of the company on DEI. That wasn’t the case in my experience. In my case there were good ol’ boy networks that took care of their own. You didn’t need to be white or to be a man to be part of the network but it helped. Some individuals were so good at playing this game that they were part of more than one network. They managed to be part of whatever network was ascendant.

Diversity and inclusion was just pretend where I was. Almost everything was just pretend. It would be comical like a parody if it weren’t for the consequences.

With nearly 100,000 employees in many locations, it’s possible that others had a different experience than mine.

Target tech and product is cooked.

If fidelky thinks he’s going to get anything out his tech team, he’s stoned out of his mind. (I spelled his name wrong - it’s not worth the time spelling it right)

This is the most reactionary/pedestrian group of senior leaders ever assembled. And if you add to that the layer of DEI VPs over the last 8 years, you will get leaders who monitor sprint metrics while the place burns down around them.

Glad that I landed a new job outside Target -staying at target is worse than getting laid off. It’s a complete clown show funded by a bunch of ignorant stock holders and board. good luck all - use Christmas to reassess your career.
