Anyone else planning to leave? What does your timeline look like?

I'm on the verge of giving up trying to get promoted and at this point I'd prefer to change companies. No matter how hard I try, no matter how much I show my boss that I'm ready for the promotion - I can't possibly get the promotion that I... —  read more

We have an awesome WLB - the pay is very good but we are on a hiring freeze.

No one is even trying to communicate with our boss as we face very unrealistic expectations. Everyone knows in advance that it will not give any result. How do you deal with such high expectations?

There was a stealth layoff across product management in marketing cloud and platform last week. Around 50 people impacted. There will be more of those as this don’t require any disclosure.

It seems a lot of people are headed out the door.

Pretty much everyone who left says the grass is much greener outside and they are now paid much better. What no one is saying is whether they have to work much harder for that higher pay. Is the grass really that much greener than here? I need a... —  read more

Someone needs to tell the CEO a d his inclusive capitalism groupies and elites that iota not good for country or USA. Just his global pocket

Been here for 7 yrs and I am growing disillusioned. This pandemic finally made me see things in a different light.
