This is really obtuse to give this joker a pay raise while employees suffer through no raises, compressed and lowered pay scales, artificially calculated demotions for profit.
The fleecing of workers is so obvious, but here we are.
About 400 more people gone. I guess Shart needs another million in his bonus.
Documents coming last minute is ridiculous. We've had the draft since November so any challenges should have already been made. Stretching out payment is disrespectful but I guess respect went out the window when they told us we were surplus. We just want to move on and they want to make it difficult.
My last job was incredibly boring but stable. Bonuses every year, clear processes, you know how it goes. I got an offer from Ford two years ago and I thought it would be a great challenge to break the monotony. Now I'm stuck at a place where nobody knows what anyone else is doing. I miss boring.
I honestly preferred major layoffs to what we have now.
And the weird thing is, I'm relatively insulated. I have low expenses, and have built up oversize savings after several years working for a company doing layoffs all the time. I think even if I was somehow fired without severance, I'd probably be fine. But living with the constant uncertainty is ki-ling me. This kind of low-level, continuous underlying stress cannot be healthy. I don't know how people with kids or just less of a financial cushion are doing it.
I'm sure I'll get some trolls in the replies but just curious if anyone can relate.
I've been through several layoff cycles now and every time, as soon as first rumors hit, the office turns into a competition. People stop sharing, managers get cagey, friends watch each other sideways...you get the picture. It's exhausting.
My approach now is simple. I assume my number might come up and keep my options open. I update the resume every month and if it happens, it happens. Being prepared is the only way to stay sane.
I heard from a friend about a role in GT that’s currently open. They sent my resume and cover letter to the hiring manager on Friday. He tells them today that the position can only be filled from within GT. I sit in another LOB. Can anyone explain why this is happening?
Pay is below market, raises don't exist, and talent gets zero recognition. With all the layoffs, individual contributors are doing management work on top of their own jobs. Meanwhile everything keeps getting offshored. There's literally nothing positive about this place.
I stopped waiting around after the last round of cuts, and I've been sending out resumes for weeks now. Got a call yesterday from a recruiter at a smaller firm. First interview is Thursday. I'm nervous but it feels good to be doing something instead of just waiting for my turn on the list.
I've been through a number of layoff rounds here and the pattern's always the same. Pull the salary report. Highlight everyone above a certain number. That's the core group. Then grab a few lower paid people from different teams so the demographics look balanced. It's not about performance. It's never been about performance.
Sorry to be insensitive and sorry if you’ve been let go. I think I’m next on the chopping block. I was wondering what does the severance package look like ?
Have a friend and former coworker that works in HR and was just assigned to a new project - from everything they've heard, Managers will begin receiving Inconsistently Meets (or worse) ratings if survey scores are down. Thy're trying to see where the boundary line should be, but its going to start close to small team leads and upward to Director. This incudes participation numbers AND overall engagement scores. Good news is that trending #s from prior surveys will be considered however i doubt that is going to help considering how messed up everything is around here!!!
Chainsaw cometh. we've been warned
My son graduated last year with good grades and two internships. He can't get a single interview for entry level roles. Every job he applies for has hundreds of applicants. My guess is half of them are people who were laid off from senior roles including from here and are just trying to get anything. It's just very, very bleak right now.
Can we go back to those times? I'll even take a round here and there, but this constant threat of more cuts is absolutely exhausting.

ExxonMobil said it would slash planned spending on low-carbon projects by a third, as oil majors pare back clean energy initiatives and pivot back to fossil fuels.
The Texas-based company, the largest US oil producer, also said in a strategic update on Tuesday that it planned to lift earnings and cash flow by $5bn by 2030, with no increases in capital spending.
Exxon said spending on low-carbon initiatives would be cut to $20bn over the next five years, down from about $30bn previously. The company also recently paused plans for a $7bn hydrogen plant in Baytown, Texas, citing low customer demand.
Some of the world’s biggest oil and gas companies are pulling back from low-carbon projects and returning their focus to fossil fuels, amid expectations that oil demand will remain more resilient and that the green transition will take longer than anticipated.
President Donald Trump has made the promise of abundant, cheap oil and gas a key pillar of his second term and pledged to “export American energy all over the world”.
UK oil major BP in February reversed its push into clean energy to refocus on fossil fuels, with chief executive Murray Auchincloss saying the company went “too far, too fast”. It also shelved plans for its hydrogen and carbon capture scheme in north-east England.
Shell also scrapped a 2021 commitment to let oil output fall by 1 per cent to 2 per cent a year until 2030 and wrote down the value of its $1bn wind business. However, other companies such as TotalEnergies have continued to invest in their renewables arms.
The interior department will on Wednesday hold a lease sale for 80mn acres in the US Gulf, as mandated by Trump’s signature tax and spending bill, which analysts at TD Cowen expect to attract interest from Shell, BP and Chevron.
Exxon has four upcoming sites in Guyana due to start production by 2030, as well as final investment decisions on natural gas projects in Papua New Guinea and Mozambique.
Exxon’s chief executive Darren Woods told the Financial Times last month that assumptions the company made when setting its previous goals for spending on low-carbon projects had not been met, blaming disappointing customer demand and government policies.
Exxon on Tuesday said it expected $25bn in earnings growth and $35bn in cash flow growth by 2030 compared with 2024 on the same constant-price and margin basis, a $5bn improvement on its previous plan.
This reflected the company’s “stronger contributions from advantaged assets, a more profitable business mix and lower operating costs”, Exxon said.
The company also announced its chief financial officer, Kathy Mikells, will retire from February 2026 and be replaced by Neil Hansen, Exxon’s president of global business solutions.

Watching promotions roll out is something else as well. It makes you really question if performance actually matters even a single bit. To say the names on that list don't always match the people who carry the weight daily would be an understatement. It's hard not to notice.
Look around at who’s left. It’s hard not to feel like we’re all temporary at this point. Layoffs keep coming, and eventually they will reach everyone they have to pay more than pocket change. Anyone still standing in the US is on borrowed time. It’s less a question of if and more of when.
PIP isn't about improvement. Performance improvement plans aren't for helping you. They're either to save money or get revenge. That's all. If you are on PIP, don't expect to still be employed once it's done.
After the layoffs rounds how the daily routine looks like especially regarding direct mngr? Do you still have as usual 1:1? Are the layoff questions brought up on th meetings or mgnrs behave like nothing happened?
If im them, I announce both at the same time. People left won't be complaining about 100%
