#badmorale

of a company

Gets worse every year.

Among current and previous employees. Current workforce mostly has quietly quit and Dell is going to be squeezed by current suppliers in 2026, deaths by a thousand paper cuts.

Your salary is past the mid point. Just another FU from this sh-t a$$ company. Can’t wait to leave

At least there was severance provided. So many employees this year got fired for cause (so no benefits no severance not eligible for unemployment). Does the company su-k for this? Certainly. Will they repost our same jobs for 80% less in 6 months. 💯. Take your severance and run. This bank is a sinking ship.

Anyone else’s excited for their Sharing Success award! Such a thoughtful thing our company does, rewarding us with a whopping 65 units….
The RSUs and cash bonuses are pathetic.
Meanwhile, BM (Bowel Movement) unloads nearly 17k shares for just under $1m in the middle of each month.

Worst company in the world. Should not be part of the FAANG group

There’s a particular flavor of workplace dysfunction that thrives in Chicago offices, and it’s the kind everyone pretends isn’t racist, s-xist or classist because they call it “fit” and “professionalism.” But we see it. Who gets promoted. Who gets visibility. Who gets coached. Who gets written up for the same thing someone else gets praised for. HR isn’t confused; they’re complicit! The end! IF you dare say something about the disparities—how certain faces always rise and certain others always plateau—you get the corporate sermon about “opportunities for development” or “taking initiative,” as if the issue is your work ethic and not the rigged ladder. Meanwhile the pay here is an insult with direct deposit. They tell us morale matters, they tell us culture is important, and they host a lunch once a year to prove it. But when people burn out, get vocal, or simply ask for livable raises, suddenly the budget evaporates. Funny how it returns every time a favorite gets bumped up a level.
The worst part is they know morale is low. They’ve known. They’ve done surveys, held town halls, launched committees, ordered branded mugs and stress ba--s. The answer is not a mystery. People are tired of being underpaid, undervalued, and watched like suspects while the chosen few glide. And don’t come at me with the classic “If you don’t like it, leave.” Leave to where? They are all hiring at the same salary and running the same playbook? The whole ecosystem is built on keeping people grateful for scraps while pretending the problem is our attitude. We shouldn’t have to contort ourselves into silence or gratitude to survive a job. We shouldn’t be expected to normalize racism dressed up as “professional readiness” or favoritism dressed up as “high potential.” We shouldn’t be made to feel disposable while being told culture is everything.
Morale doesn’t matter here!!!! People matter here only when they’re useful and only when they look like the archetype leadership already decided on. And I’m tired of the lie that this is just how corporate life works. It doesn’t have to be. They just choose it.

Stock down to 28. U-k!
We have no mega paid people that actually provide leadership.
No motivation, no nothing.
What a terrible start to 26/

I was hired on and the future was bright.
High salary, good options, good bonus. Lighter work load but very interesting work.
That became the status quo for the first 2.5 years.
Then onto a project that had legs but should have been completed in half the time.
The excuse in length was, don't #$%@ up the brand. Valid but the program still took entirely too long.
All the time the better than avg salary/options/bonus arrived.

The next 4 years flew by but the work was not mentally stimulating. In the back of my head I knew I should leave to stay sharp but those golden handcuffs kept me.

The last 2.5 years have been terrible, still a great pay package but at this point in a career there needs to be more. There is not.

No bright future for the company, no groundbreaking tech to boost a new footwear line.

Just backstabbing and cliche high school atmosphere which does not fly in the FAANG corporations in which i have previously worked for.

Its a shame as I loved Nike in those early years and would have bent over backwards to forward the corporate agenda.

I'll stay but no longer have that fire.
Too many VPs to count and absolutely no clue what some do. How a corporation can justify the cost of VPs that barely contribute but a slide deck now and then. Slide decks do not keep the lights on.

Nike is down, Portland downtown is down, that 2016 vibe is long gone.

I am just planning to milk the Nike te-t until my day arrives. It eventually will.

People will say then just leave. Not a chance in this Portland job market. My family would take a hit and that is not happening.

All time low. I’d say I hope senior leaders see this. But I also suspect it’s by design. Low morale = high attrition

Moral is so bad and everyone is so miserable that i fight to log on and stay on daily. This has to be intentional by these mo--ns running this place into the ground. Holding out as long as possible because of the pay and the fact so many are struggling to fund other jobs but dont know how much longer i can do this

You can tell the state of a workplace by what people joke about. The only time you hear people genuinely laugh or smile is when someone's making a joke about how terrible things are or complaining about management. It's the one form of morale we have left, I guess.

It's a con game. The company has no incentive to care about your feelings. Any and all morale boosting is just managing useful distractions. They dangle carrots, or vague promises they have no intention of keeping, or soft reassurances of your job security only to stand there at your desk as you cry and put your belongings into the banker's box they've graciously provided to you.

Just like the managers that pit their employees against one another, it's all about keeping you occupied so you don't notice the water creeping up to your ankles on the sinking ship. Go rearrange those deck chairs, this Titanic will look presentable!

Just stop. Leave. No notice, no new job lined up. Do whatever you can to expedite the implosion of this company by removing yourself from their clutches. Go sling coffee, bag groceries, start an ebay reseller gig, anything but continuing to enable your abuser. They won't realize anything until they are forced to and when they only have overseas cheap labor to depend upon, it'll really be fun to watch this place crater. If India wants these jobs so bad, let them have 'em. Watch what happens.

Go. Be happy. Be anywhere but here, your mental health will be better, and you can leave this bucket of tu-ds in the rearview mirror.

“I hope you spent Christmas and New Year thinking about work and not enjoying yourselves.

It is your duty to work harder and longer hours for the company, we own you and you will obey.

Do not expect any acknowledgement for doing a good job or going beyond, it is the minimum requirement we expect from you.

There will be no raises in 2026, if you have a variable income we will find any way possible to minimise any bonus or commissions due to you.

Happy New Year ( although it won’t actually be happy, as we will be laying lots of you off ).”

Synovus will ruin Pinnacle IMO. Sorry for anyone that works there.

CEO and Vps like Shankar was begging customers not go for alternative products . Toxic people.. selfish leadership., Employees weren’t not taken well in this org. CEO should resign Nilesh Arora or fire Prisma BU leaders

This is by far the worst of all the jobs I held. A total nightmare. Two years here were two too many.

30+% employees have already said AFFIRMATIVE

💀

Not sure about others. Nothing says Happy Holidays like a pink slip...nice.

In October the U.S. saw more layoffs in one month than any month in the last 20 years. Now another 13k, there are no companies hiring we are out of a job and right before the holidays and a massive Great Depression hits. This is so much worse than many think, there won’t be enough jobs out there for all of us. I just lost my insurance, I am fu---d
This is heartless and I was laid off on a fu--ing mistake. I was not bottom 5%, I was a top performer I did not deserve this at fu--ing all. This is bullsh-t. The CEO gets 20 million fu--ing dollars and lays us off before the holidays. Fu-k this company.

I regret the moment I decided to join QCOM. My health is getting worse every day I spend here.

Leaving is not a simple decision. I have been here for a year. Jumping ships would me look unemployable and the job market su-ks anyways.

I feel trapped.

Have you seen the discounts on Nike.com? Earlier than usually with higher discounts than ever. Pinnacle product like alphafly 3 and new introductions like Metcon are offered there in a way that it hurts to see. That together with the removal of wellness week and 4 week work from abroad shows that Nike is on a bad trajectory , worse than anticipated.

This company has the most micro managing toxic leadership ever. Avoid it if you can. The pressure is productivity. It's a sweatshop. Leadership will smile while they stab you in the back. Hypocrisy is big here.

They’ve been letting people go at GlobalLogic recently. It’s not a great consulting firm at all - there are serious workplace issues.... i’ve heard reports of unprofessional behavior, managers shouting at employees, and very low pay. They dismissed someone I know, and another acquaintance mentioned a large round of layoffs. I honestly haven’t heard much positive feedback about the company. What’s surprising is that they don’t even offer small holiday gestures like Christmas baskets or traditional treats. . The pay is very low - senior staff reportedly earn around 2 million a month after deductions. the whole industry seems to be declining.

I’ve lost jobs before, but this time it felt particularly offensive and infuriating. I was dedicated, consistently a top performer, and I genuinely liked what I did. I was also lucky to have a great team. For the company to throw away valuable contributors like so many of us, and strip us of the chance to keep doing what we love really highlights how empty and pointless the corporate world has become.

I’m not saying this layoff is the end of the world, but it’s hard not to feel how disappointing, futile, and ugly it all is. In any case, good luck to all of us, both those who were let go and those who remain. Here’s hoping things start making a bit more sense again someday.

Where is the great culture Accenture talked about? I was discriminated and treated real bad. Horrible company.

Leadership at all levels are responsible for making employees feel like cr-p.
If you were honest with yourself you would look around and see most of the people around you have been treated like shi_.

There is no way to win employees back unless the new leadership proves they value the employees.

The comrades I’ve lost… It won’t stop hurting, it's like they’re all still there… You feel it too, don’t you? …they came after you in OCI, then OHAI. Oracle just… keeps growing, swallowing everything in its path, getting bigger and bigger. Who knows how big now…

I thought everything had been taken from me. But now, I really have lost it all. The Boss, and the future we were building together.

For those who survived Wave 1, is this seriously the boss we all reported to now? Wow just wow. Looks gonna be toxic.

"CEO MW is overhauling the oil giant’s ‘nice’ corporate culture, getting tougher not just on his employees but also on rivals and the politicians standing in his way".
