#morale

So serious question.As an associate I never understood the hate management had for especially union folks.When these huge layoffs continue to happen year after year wouldn’t some of the management employees understand why we need a voice.I mean honestly this is all about moving out the old and moving in the new paypal CEO own buddies to high level positions .I mean just can’t even understand the complete dedication some of the management has to being completely terrible to associates.All for what a company that has sunk itself wasted more money then most and really could careless about you kicking you to the curb during Holidays.If I was a management person I would not give to damns about anything other then getting a check till they gave me the boot like they plan to do to so Many!!Ra Ra V Teamers or soon to be ex V Teamers

Lack of motivation: Peter states that there is no motivation to work harder because he "don't see another dime" if the company produces more units.

Meaningless work: The film criticizes a workplace where employees are unfulfilled and their work seems meaningless.

Corporate frustration: Peter's frustration is a direct result of a top-down structure with incompetent bosses and a system that punishes mistakes without offering rewards for success.

"I just don't care": This famous line is the core of his argument, explaining that his inaction isn't due to laziness but a complete disconnect from his job's purpose and his company's goals.

The reality is what Verizon is doing is pretty messed up they are laying people off because they realized hiking pricing and relying on networks doesn’t work, so they layoff 15k people to make up for the losses. Well who do you think made those decisions it was the people at the top. Employees needed to speak out and walk out. People are scared and don’t say nothing but look at the end result!! So if people act out and be disruptive I fully understand. They fire people before the holidays speaks to fu-k the employees

on 11/23/26 TransUnion just laid off hundreds of amazing people in their CTO technology org. People around the world were laid off. They cut way to deep this time and I expect a huge performance ripple effect in Q1. 100% their CTO Venkat is about to sink the ship with these cuts in order to hit unrealistic cost savings targets tied to his bonus. Moral is horrible.

Does anyone truly know what this company‘s plan is as a long-term employee? I question this myself. There seems to be no career path no talk about company status. Very slow at releasing new equipment very poor at supporting direct operations. It just seems like nobody cares about anything anymore internally. I would think with the right people in the right places in upper management things would change drastically, but have been stagnant and a shame for a while.

Personally just don’t think I can do another year at this company

Belk is the cr-ppiest company to work for. They want so much done. Like markdowns, markups, 5000 times the freight, customer service, credit, apps, sale sets, fullfillement, etc... all under minimum hours. Stores look like cr-p, can't recover, always on the register or having to do other things because God forbid they don't meet the numbers for them. Not to mention the dock, corporate watches the camera to see if your dock is cleared (he-l no it isn't, we have no hours and no time), they don't support there associates!!
But corporate has time to throw lavish parties in Charlotte and open new stores 🙄 that they won't staff correctly with a abundance amount of work to do. How about stop having stores hire if you won't give the stores hours to give them, common sence there. Do not work for Belk. They take all there associates and salary managers for granted. Less pay, less help, but more workload!!!!

Anyone else see the #Do Better Chevron post it notes on the broken glass in the Houston Sky Ring? Classic.

We have a culture of fear now at WF that has destroyed innovation with all of us walking on eggshells

How about everyone just shows up to work and do nothing, just sit down and play with our phones and send a message to the big wigs

keep working hard v-teamers

I have been having nightmares since the news broke out, Not able to focus, moral is low, zero motivation to do anything. Not willing to put in any effort until I know my fate next week. I mean whatever happens happens but next couple of days are going brutal!

Verizon is in this situation because of poor leadership, which was replaced with poor leadership, which is now being replaced by more poor leadership.

Just once, has any of these feckless leaders held themselves responsible? I mean they blame the economy, they blame COVID, they blame the employees. But they never take responsibility.

Isn't that literally in the credo?

But, it is the employees who will suffer. Hans will never have to worry about buying groceries, or losing thier home or paying medical expenses. Neither will Dan. They care about nothing and no one else.

The are typically sociopaths (and yes, there are peers reviewed scientific studies that show this).

Just once...

... just not Legacy Xerox folks. That's fu--ing delightful.

I hate what this is doing to me. I am here looking at my coworkers and praying its one of them and not me. I don't want anyone to lose their job, but of course I prefer that I don't lose mine. So here I am looking at my VZ "family" and hoping its them. This su-ks.

In the Ashburn office today, compared to normal Thursdays it felt dead. Morale is at an all time low

Campus a graveyard.

Well folks, it’s been a wild week out here on the range. Rumors gallopin’ faster than a spooked jackrabbit, whispers in every cubicle corral, and folks hidin’ under their desks like coyotes in a hailstorm. But today, I bring word straight from the top bunkhouse—The Ranch Boss himself has spoken.

That’s right: a ceasefire has been declared.

All units, stand down. Pack up your spreadsheets, holster your resume blasters, and step away from the LinkedIn feed. The L48 front has gone quiet—no more surprise ambushes, no more “urgent invites” from HR at high noon. The dust is settlin’, and the Ranch Boss says, “That’s enough shootin’ for one season.”

Now, I ain’t sayin’ the fence line’s fixed or the water trough’s full—there’s still a few loose boards out there, and some of y’all are lookin’ at each other like, “You sure this ain’t a trick?” But as of now, the official word is:
👉 It’s over.
👉 Everyone can holster their nerves.
👉 The L48 herd’s intact… for now.

So take a deep breath, pour yourself a strong cup of office coffee (the kind that tastes like it’s been sittin’ on the burner since the Eagle Ford days), and give thanks that your badge still scans.

This ol’ cowdog’s off to patrol the breakroom—heard there’s a fresh box of donuts, and if anyone thinks they can outmaneuver me for the maple bar, well, they’ve got another thing comin’.

Stay vigilant, stay humble, and above all, stay employed.
— Hank, Head of Ranch Security (L48 Division)

I heard that Chubak got well over $4MM for a sign-on bonus here- I can’t even imagine earning that in my whole career. It’s just another example of how far removed he is from the rest of us.

With layoffs looming and articles all over the news. Employee morale at its lowest but our VP , Jarrett - wants a plan to fix a metric. No one is addressing the stress and fear that our people are feeling. What a low person

What percentage of management is that? How many managers does Verizon have total? This is just an awful kick in the pants.

Am I the only one who only thought "okay" when reading the news? This has been dragged out for so long that I'm now numb and I don't even care anymore. If they want to get rid of me, so be it. It's not like those staying behind will be in a much better position with all the extra work coming their way.

This is horrible news. I’m so sorry, guys, for all of us.

There goes the hope that we were just exaggerating, right out the window. I think my blood pressure just spiked.

Verizon shares rose about 1.7% on the news.
Thousands upon thousands of people are about to lose their livelihoods, and investors are rubbing their greedy little hands together, rejoicing at the news. Really tells you something about the state of the world we live in.

This is going to be a fu--ing bloodbath. How is anybody supposed to focus on work with this hanging over our heads? 15k???

The company was in a growth/acquisition phase for basically 10 years, now with the current landscape and the negative sentiment from stockholders, the government, employees, cratering stock price the layoffs will not end, only increase. Raises are next to nothing along with bonuses, stacked ranking laying people off even if they are good performers, over worked/over stressed, useless surveys, etc. 10 years ago the company was actually good to work for, the company is now a shell of its former self. Don't work her unless you want to constantly worry about being played off and overworked.

Both of them are hated by people within their own org and people outside of their org.: Somehow these two continue to survive.. what’s their secret?

For the person that said Layoffs are coming Nov 17 & 18, I can confirm that this is real. I was accidentally copied on an email that I shouldn’t have been. I don’t know how they can layoff anymore people from that team because they already have a skeleton crew and if we’re supposedly in the cloud, wouldn’t you need engineers to make sure the customers products continue to work. It’s just in time before the All-Company Meeting. I’m sure SM will put on his sad face and pretend the layoffs break his heart. His song and dance is getting old. I pray for the best for those affected by the layoffs. May you find stable, healthy employment quickly.

1. Are you excited about your work? Yes/No
2. Do you feel that you are well compensated for your work?
   Yes/No
3. Do you approve of our leadership?
   Yes/No

I hope all this is true, send me some cash and let me never work here again. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I left earlier this year:
Mainly because I could no longer accept the toxic culture. It took me nearly 2 years to find the right job. It was hard.
But I found it.

Here is what I learned since joining a new company.
Yes, Ford treats everyone poorly.
Yes, other companies care about expertise.
Yes, you have to learn new things

But the grass is currently greener in other places and the environment is less toxic.

This is true from the entry worker to upper management.

If you are unhappy: jump. The water is not that cold.

Does anyone know or heard anything about RIF in HC operations? There is a strange vibe of a calm before a storm. Visits have been significantly down. Rushed request for self evals. In light of everything being very nervous.

.....oh that's right, those are no more! Money otherwise spent on consultants, C level events and overpaying "leaving" executives.

One small step they could do to try and start to rebuild any kind of culture here....but nope.

Just calling it now — once AIP drops in March, Q1–Q2 2026 is going to be a bloodbath for Truist talent. Every high performer who still cares enough to tough it out right now is probably already polishing their résumé. Between the 5-day RTO nonsense, the constant cost-cutting “initiatives” that make zero sense, and leadership’s habit of treating teammates like disposable headcount, why would anyone with real market value stick around?

It’s honestly painful watching good people get run into the ground while execs talk about “purpose” and “care” in the same breath they use to justify another round of cuts or policy rollbacks. The writing’s on the wall — once the bonus hits, the exits will light up.

Truist keeps acting like folks don’t have options. Spoiler: they do. And the ones who’ve kept the lights on are about to prove it.

It is late fall in the United States. The leaves are changing, and the air has turned crisp. We begin to prepare for the holidays with family and friends. Christmas decorations come down from the shelves in the attic or garage. We make our homes—and sometimes our yards—festive, and we start our lists of gifts for loved ones. It is a magical time.

Oh… and Solventum begins its annual restructuring. It seems people are receiving their Christmas their pink slips from the water boy and his cronies today.

In ten minutes, we’ll get to hear how—with a little courage and some visionary leadership—we’re making the changes that will guarantee we stagger forward until the next layoff, which is in no way reassuring.

WTF was that? Ridiculous

PM's need to be fired. They are absolutely worthless! They serve no purpose and cant even do basics of their jobs. All the while ignoring everything.
