Turnover's blowing up at so many other companies but things feel weirdly frozen here. I'm still looking for an exit but most of my team seems fine staying put even after everything that's happened, and I can't tell if they know something I don't or... — read more 

Can someone explain how they are tracking productivity? What’s the software? Is it just Viva Insights? What are they tracking? Who gets the reports? Please share if you actually know. This is important info for all of us!

If so, start moving that mouse around ladies and gentlemen.

Don’t expect engagement, cooperation, creativity. You won’t get it because you don’t believe in it. You believe in hierarchy of mediocre yes-people, micromanagement and fear tactics.

but it's become nearly all indian, apparently by design

Seems like it.

10% this year company wide. 5% in June and 5% in October to stay below the warn notice. Next year gets even better at 15%. Have fun everybody! Is this true?

Too much fat around that desperately needs to be cut. Sadly, I doubt they'll ever be asked to leave. Most of them are too good at a-s-kissing to worry about their jobs. But a guy can dream, right?

Right?!

Brace for impact.

create an intolerable culture so people quit—same layoffs, just without the severance bill.

Hey just wondering how many people were fairly compensated when they were laid off. Have heard there have been several folks who were let go with no severance. Is there anyone fighting for them?

This place is way too complicated. Too many different groups, too many channels. One part of the company has no clue what the other part is doing. I'll be happy to be out of here, even if it's by being laid off.

Ackman thinks FRE stock is stupidly cheap. When I see pet Pulte on TV behind Trump, I think the stock is stupidly overpriced.

Too many old timers in powerful positions just playing game of chess with their resources, shameful. Destroying lives.

Mike and HR will meet his 10% staff reduction quota just through resignations

Calm before the storm?

A couple of hours just got word that folks are getting laid off in HR...Who else is affected?

Fourteen months ago, Frank Nazarro said if you were still here in a year, there would be some sort of grand reward. What is this grand reward comprised of? Lived through a work nightmare for well over a year Congratulations for making Fannie's... — read more 

President and CFO get a big raise and 12% of employees get laid off. Do we call it Pulte-Hutchins Strategic Pivot Cul-de-Sac or Bill-Mike Speed Bump?

March or later?

Mike and Jim both got raises; ~1000 people overall got laid off

Board approved Mikes request to remove employee engagement results from a compensation calculation for SOC. But enjoy bigger bonuses funded by layoffs

When they tell you 3% is all they had in the budget for you this year.

Why do the members of the EAF team believe they are holier than thou? They act like the rest of the company is dirt under their feet. LAY THEM OFF AND REPLACE THEM!

I missed the Single Family Town Hall and heard the related Fishbowl threads were removed. Can anyone who attended share what happened?

We successfully became a single purpose hedge fund under his management.

CEO doesn't even show up in office for the all hands after forcing everyone back 5 days 🤡🤡

Does anyone here know?

Friends at Fannie said they got new company holidays - December 24 and 26.

Good luck.

Not much to add. At Freddie, his people got untraceable access to all the borrowers data too to dig dirt on political opponents. Infosec and senior leaders knew, no alarms were sounded. The rules of “safety’n soundness” and ethics are only for us

Politico: ‘Sold POTUS a bill of goods’: WH furious with Pulte over 50-year mortgage. This might put a kabash on the ipo idea and pulte himself. But Mike might still want to continue with the layoffs. It’s his favorite thing to do - to get rid of... — read more 

You realize this will happen in Freddie few weeks from now?

paraphrasing Tywin Lannister, Pulte (Joffrey) is a fool. He is cruel, but he is a fool. We have had cruel kings, and we have had weak kings, and we have had mad kings… but I do not know if we have ever been cursed with a king who was all three.
