#morale

Nothing is working
People are leaving
Robots are malfunction
Human are loveless
Id--ts are rising
AI more stupid
Intel is sinking
Stock will crash
Layoff is still going
Hiring is freezing up
Money is still printing
No food to eat
No water to drink
Only banana to eat
And coffee to drink

This place is a total sh-t hole. My sister works in Fire and hates her job and I'm in Total Loss and it is a complete disaster. It's not my Team Manager but his my crazy SM and CM that cause constant chaos. My poor TM looks like a scolded dog every day and tries not to take it out on us but really has no choice. This place has become so d-mbed down it's almost impossible to even have an intelligent conversation with most people. Clown show all over. I feel almost dirty when I sign off every day.

I truly enjoy being part of this organization and want to continue contributing meaningfully. However, the current schedule has been very demanding. I completely understand that global collaboration requires flexibility, but calls that take place in the middle of the night have become difficult to maintain long-term. It’s starting to impact my balance and energy levels, and I’m concerned about sustainability. I’d appreciate the opportunity to discuss whether there’s a way to balance time zones while still supporting our objectives. If that is unreasonable, sign me up to be laid off.

I truly have sympathy for you guys. I remember having the same experiences. I moved to Hidden Ridge five years ago and that level of stress surrounding RIF time is a distant memory for me now. Sure, I don't want to be laid off but I just don't have to worry that much about getting another job. Last Friday, I went for a beer after work and ran into two guys that were partners in a company. After I told them who I worked for and what my job was, they told me they needed a project manager and offered me a job. They offered a salary that pretty much replaced what I'm making now. I told them I wasn't looking right now but we might have layoffs in our future. They gave me a card and told me get in touch if things don't go my way. My neighbor is an electrician. The company he worked for wouldn't give him off last Christmas so he quit. He went home for two weeks and the same company rehired him and bridged his time because they needed someone and couldn't find someone to replace him while he was gone.

Its interesting to see how differently things operate throughout the company. I see multiple people say that there is bloat. People say we need to cut the fat and get rid of people who don't do anything. Meanwhile my team has been short staffed and overworked for years.

Zero field techs are optimistic about their future at Ncratleos. Currently it being the 4th quarter now isn't the time to leave but the grumbling and rumbling has commenced. No one in the field wants a camera in the cab and none of ncr management cares what they think. Will there be a mass of techs leaving in the near future? Only time will tell.

We are now in the era of the Haves and Have Nots.

Nothing more to add here.

Today was the first day I went to my Target store after the layoff. It was weird. All that proud and belonging feeling vanished. I quickly went in and out, grabbed a few items and left.... How are you all feeling? Honestly I don't thing I will continuing buying anything at Target after Jan 3. The way we were all treated in this layoff tell me a lot about the company's leadership we were working for.

Layoffs are starting as we head into the holiday season. Many US roles, especially a number of roles in IT, are being relocated to lower cost hubs. Tough time to be a US employee, as many good people are leaving the organization. Morale is at a low point.

I’ve got too many bills, too many people counting on me, and zero energy left to care about work. Some days I’m scared I’ll snap at the wrong person and regret it. I used to like what I did, now I’m just trying not to lose it.

Piper guy yes we are hereby naming you tragedy king! But did you saw the great financial results not trying to rub it in. Wishing you and your family the same negativity multiplied 100000 times.

Get ready everyone. Saw ours without final sales and scan and gos last month. We usually get decent bonuses and ours is complete a-s now because of the scan and go metric. Another goalpost moved to f us right in the A.

For 11 years I had the kindest manager, a year ago that changed and they split up our team, because he was promoted. Rightfully so.. My Manager now is so micromanaging I am suffocating. In every email and slack message she asks you to reconfirm everything you supply her. Triple the work on each task. She has been with the O for 28 years, and started as an admin. Kudos to her for rising through the ranks. Not well liked or respected locally, by default they promoted her.. . To live a more healthier life I am looking for a new job. Will that solve all my problems, not really. However I will most likely be spending less time in the bathroom from the stress. Peace and love all.

So I guess we’re always going to be on our toes and stressed out of our minds.

Is not because of poor net adds or gained AI efficiencies but to finance the Frontier acquisition. Maybe if Lowell hadn’t squandered 10 billion on AOL and Yahoo we would all be enjoying this holiday season. Poor decisions by leadership with regards to spectrum purchases and failed mergers is why many of us will see our lives disrupted.

Is everyone is busy updating their resumes and LinkedIn?
Why am I not getting meeting invites and requests?

Unless you’re a senior leader. START APPLYING ASAP YALL. Get out of this company. And even if you’re a senior leader leave you will be forced to cut jobs on teams that are already short staffed. Not fear mongering yall. My manager also recently resigned had been with TR for over 5 years. It’s getting bad.

Ive worked here long enough to sit thru at least 5 strategic shuffles, and I’ve never seen leadership this tight-lipped... All this while morale sinks sooo fast.

Dan keeps talking about building a leaner company and bold changes, but all we get are buzzwords and MORE SILENCE. It’s the same canned lines on earnings calls & the same trust the process nonsense in internal metings... and meanwhile we’re supposed to act like we dont see the layoffs coming a mile away.

Everyone already knows something big is happening by November 20... the rumors are everywhere, not just this site.

Yet instead of addressing it head-on we get happy emails about embracing agility and AI transformation (what the fu-k is that).

People are anxious, scared, updating resumes on company time, and pretending to care about the future vision while half the teams are quietly being gutted.

If you really believe in being a transparent leader, prove it. Stop hiding behind corporate PR.

Tell people what’s happening so they can prepare. We’re adults indeed and we can handle the truth.

What we can’t handle is another round of fake optimism from execs posting champagne selfies on linkdin while the rest of us are bracing for impact.

If this is your idea of leadership, it’s no different from the Hans era - just with better lighting + fewer vowels in your buzzwords.

that's my experience with paramount. and yet, i am still here. my sanity did suffer, often i ask myself was it worth it. i do like my job, the team is awesome but still, it's way too much of a burden from the psychological standpoint. when i look back i do not even know how i managed this inside, it's a blow after blow.

Top management is just lounging around while allowing toxic behavior to spread like wildfire. People used to care about their work, now they just try to survive the madness. It’s contagious, demoralizing, and scary. Watching talented people change because of this environment is heartbreaking.

saw my SD in the hallway - she looked very upset. I asked her what's up and she pulled me into a room.
She just learned she's out. Layoffs will be 20% across all bands, all BUs, all geos, all everything. SVPs, VPs, stores, GN&T, everything. Looks like I'm on the list, too.

It’s not gonna stop. Tough working for a shrinking poor long term company.

Buyout. No unemployment claims. No discrimination lawsuits. Improved morale for those who choose to stay.
But then, this is Verizon so…
Layoff. Unemployment claims across the board. Class action discrimination suits for each protected class (age, race, s-x). Fear and unrest for the employees not laid off.

I find the posts on Linkdin by various leaders at Verizon, to be completely tone deaf. Fancy dinners, and trips to Paris. Sure, it might be work related, but its a real slap in the face to be living it up in luxury while your employees are preparing for the worst. Do better.

I used to be happy working for Dell, but I feel stuck now—I can’t quit because of financial commitments and the years I’ve invested, waiting for the payout.

My organization is full of imposters being carried from quarter to quarter. Other teams are being squeezed so much that disgruntled—or maybe just demotivated—workers often ignore you.

Support teams are being shut down. We’re forced to abandon tools that work and adopt others that mostly don’t. And then there’s the bootlickers posting LinkedIn fluff or resharing corporate ads.

There are still good people at Dell, many of whom feel the same way. But most of us stay silent, shaking our heads at the mess this company has become. We know the end game.

Management tells us to “play the game,” but why should we be as spineless as they are? If we didn’t play along, maybe things wouldn’t be this way. Why make it easy for them to bully us into submission?

I used to dread seeing an HR meeting appear in my calendar. Now, I almost long for it. The lucky ones are those who got to leave—not us, the ones stuck working in this toxic environment where doing more with less is the expectation.

I’m burnt out.

More people gone. Good people — who gave a lot and deserved better. And the message to the rest of us? “Stay positive. Be agile. ”I’m tired of hearing that. This doesn’t feel normal to feel trust being chipped away and a culture that doesn’t feel the same anymore.

We’re supposed to smile and adapt. But it’s hard to find inspiration in watching good people disappear while everyone else pretends we’re going to be fine.

Sometimes the truest thing a leader can say is just this: it really su-ks right now.

I was hoping we'd get a chance to properly enjoy the holidays but now it's clear that's not happening.

How are we feeling about the latest round of layoffs? Did you lose anyone valuable on your teams? Do we truly believe this is the last round?

It’s 100% confirmed that Associates in the US and India are being let go this week. Which day depends on your team and location. Those left behind will wish they were let go. The confusion, toxicity, and expected hours you’ll be working is going to get even worse. Much much worse.

Remember that this is all being done to reduce costs and try to raise the stock price. Dont blame yourself. Take the money and run.

Funny thing is, everyone at EM hates being here so much, that’s the only thing that seems to be holding us together. No shared pride, no excitement, nothing, just collective misery. Somehow surviving the place feels like a team effort, and that’s the only bond anyone has these days.

Belk has received the dubious distinction of being one of the top 100 worst companies to work for in the United States by retail world magazine. Enough said.

Scheduling 10 hour shifts on Blk Friday weekend. Seriously?

Honest question, why do you like working at TIAA? There seems to be so much contention about poor management, legacy technology, in office requirements, and vast pay differences.

What is it that keeps you here? Especially those of you that have been here for so long. Are you hoping for things to go back to the good old days?

How many are waiting for that payoff, that tap on the shoulder, that bonus to leave the sinking ship.

But worse than that, how many are just coasting along without a care in the world, ensuring that the ship will inevitably end up sinking, despite any efforts to trim costs.

Re-Invention, Own-it, no end of the different ‘Emperors New Clothes’ plans.

Face it - if you have any self respect you should call it a day and go get a new job, somewhere you can see a long term career outlook.

I’ve been laid off twice in the past 10 years. The first time hit me hard after giving 18 years to one company and routinely working 10-14 hour days. I learned loyalty can vanish in an instant. Now I stick to doing my work and nothing extra. Jobs can disappear anytime, and most companies couldn’t care less about their employees.

Verizon better lower our quotas or pay me extra bc I am not wasting my time on nonsense and spending hours on fixing account issues, billing, resets, etc on the phone since now we are mandated to take calls

It's not my problem you incompetent folks at BR chose to eliminate competent CS reps and send everything to India

I get paid to sell. Watch if this happens all the top sellers will bolt just like when Verizon went to team commission.

You reap what you sow.

New restructure key goal: Mentor ENGINE resources and get laid off!

Thanks Uncle Chevron!

Fartley is pi---d.

Now I don't understand the value of ally award, my friend got nominated for q3 ally award and they laid him off this week. Company is giving so much false beliefs, no matter if you get recognized or not for your hard work. Everyone's days are numbered.

The only thing left for them to do is cut some more. There’s no turning this sh-tshow of a company toward the future.
