#conflict

Go fu-k yourself.

Enough with the nonesense from certain people.
No one wants to hear it anymore, no one wants to participate in it, no one likes you, no one likes your constant negativity, no one likes your entitelment, no one likes your doom and gloom, we are tired of your nonsense.

So Just Stop. Your continued efforts to stoke bitterness, lower morale and cause drama are no longer acceptable.

When I switched from Walmart to Sam's, I expected a busy workplace, not all this quiet drama between coworkers. There are people picking sides, leaving others out, and making small things bigger than they need to be. I am in my thirties and I have dealt with enough of that already. It would be nice if everyone just treated each other with basic respect.

Staying quiet when someone stole my credit cost me a promotion and I regret it every day.

These co-worker feedbacks really make no sense. I chose people I thought liked me. I gave everyone 5’s regardless of how I felt because I’m not doing BNY’s dirty work. But dang this thing has really made hostile feelings amongst the group and lots of gossip about who we think said what. My reviews were above average in total. I don’t like a couple things that were said, but now I’m thinking if I get the person who I’m suspecting said certain things, I need to be a little more honest for the next round. The top says “anytime feedback.” Can I add gripes all year long?

I have worked here for over two decades and this is one of the more frustrating periods I have seen. The actual workload is manageable, but the constant politics between departments and leadership make the day feel heavier than it needs to be. We're spending more time avoiding conflict than solving problems. Most of the conversations are tense and few are comfortable speaking openly anymore. A few coworkers who used to be very engaged now barely participate unless they have to. It's exhausting, and for all the wrong reasons.

He has no clue how to run Fiserv. Dhivya has too much power and is useless. Takis is out and about and never acknowledges he works for Mike. He is plotting to take over. Mike is losing power every day, he is doomed as much as the path he has Fiserv on!

BASF managers will decide who to lay off based on complex factors like personal disputes, retaliation, maintaining dominance and status, rivalries, and internal power struggles, often stemming from cycles of stupidity , lack of opportunity, trauma, and loyalty, with layoffs often escalating through social contagion and misidentification in social networks.

Anyone going through that recently?

I got this fu--ing annoying member from another team, who is good for nothing.

Yet, I can see behavior which always cause chaos, trying to step on everyone’s toes.

Matter of time when someone asks them to “calm TF down”

Portland State University faces significant financial challenges. Its enrollment has dropped over 20 percent since the pandemic began. President Ann Cudd proposes laying off faculty and eliminating two departments. This plan includes 52 union faculty positions and the conflict resolution and university studies departments. Faculty unions strongly oppose these proposed cuts and have voted no confidence.

No wonder Ford is last to see new technology. The word Trust is missing in the Ford dictionary.

From Ford Authority: Back in October 2022, Ford was found guilty of violating its contract with Versata Software after a court determined that the automaker breached its contract by misusing and disclosing confidential information. Ford allegedly reverse engineered Versata's software for its own use without a license, which was then used to manage how various components are configured during the vehicle assembly process.

Ford was ordered to pay $104.6 million in damages to Versata following this decision, but The Blue Oval did appeal the verdict - an action that worked, as U.S. District Judge Matthew Leitman threw out that claim and reversed the jury's decision back in May 2023. It seemed as if that saga was over at the time, but now, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has opted revive $82.2 million of that original $104.6 million verdict, according to

You make contact with the hiring manager prior to the meeting and develop some rapport, identify some people in common, only to have an unlisted 3rd party join the Meet, who is inevitably some “distinguished” tw-t that throws curveball questions about things that were only discussed among the team in the last weekly meeting, and documented in a locked Google Doc. Indians hiring Indians.

The most recent mandatory course on fincrimes included an example of bad things happening when firms operate outside the law - the GS Malaysian corruption scandal that cost GS $600 million to settle. Anyone wanna guess the initials of one of the GS execs implicated. (Google it)

My manager told me in front of my entire team that if I am so unhappy here, he has a replacement ready and I am free to leave. I was so stunned that I just said okay cool and went back to my desk. How out of line was that?

This is 1000% Wells Fargo today: The most dangerous workplace bully isn't your coworker, it's your manager. Because when the person targeting you also controls performance, documentation, and reputation, it's not conflict, it's leverage.

Deloitte mostly copies what we do, adds a few minor changes, and then presents the same work across other projects. They’re also very good at replicating our frameworks and showcasing them to other clients. I’m not sure why Yael Cosset and Jim Clendenen keep supporting hires from Deloitte, but it definitely feels like there’s some kind of Deloitte backchannel benefiting them.

Another lawsuit

That makes you part of the problem. File a complaint with the EEOC or the DHS. Oz says he’s all over Medicare and Medicaid fraud. If you suspect that’s going on here, file the complaint. Let it get investigated. But more than that, take it to the court of public opinion. Social media is the ultimate equalizer now. Everybody complains. No one acts. If you suspect conflicts of interest, notify outlets like ProPublica. Even John Oliver torched Centene and Michael back in the day. Sadly, what I think you are going to ultimately find out is that the truth is what Ricky Gervais said during his monologue at the awards a few years back. “I don’t care anymore. I’m just joking. I never did”. Replace the “I” with every company, every government agency, etc. They don’t care anymore. And they never did.

If you were in a war zone, how would you feel about having your division head with you in a fox hole? I would have been happy to have certain previous division heads with me. Not my current one. Would anyone want to be with their current divsion head in a fox hole during a war?

Oh boy...who else noticed all the derogatory comments he keeps making. Now he is openly talking bad about his peers. Jeez

This African proverb explicitly warns that in an emergency, you have to stop trying to "be right" and start trying to survive. If you keep bickering, you’re essentially choosing to allow the house to burn down just to win the argument. This is the perfect depiction of what is happening at BNSF and everyone is playing right into it. Managers against employees. Employees against managers, Employees against employees, managers against managers. HUGE Trust issues. Is this a huge daycare??? The competition loves how BNSF is having its managers go after their employees and pitting everyone against each other. "A house divided against itself cannot stand" -Matthew 12:25 The leadership is probably the worst i have ever seen. If you want to thrive, take Buffets advice and "Stop writing people up" Even he saw the ridiculousness in the way it was being ran. Looks like its gotten worse unfortunately. So glad I left that toxic place. Never in my life did I see more people against each other than at the bnsf. That culture shift starts at the top. If you want your company to change, then YOU have to change.

You ask three people the same question and get three different answers. All of them sound confident too. So it turns into a game of eeny, meeny, miny, moe to decide what to do. And if you get the wrong one, guess whose fault it is? This whole place has turned into one big joke.

I really hope you read this.

Eff you! We are better off without. Take your money and go hide your face. You are a failure and always have been. You gaslight the rest of these clowns into thinking you were some EV god but the rest of us knew from day one you were a joke. How you bamboozled Ford leadership into thinking we could take a bunch of rejects and failures from Apple and Tesla and build a successful will be a mystery but now if we can only get rid of the rest of the your lackeys and your “20x” skunkworks team.

Go eff yourself with a J1772 connector.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but acting like you run the place when you don’t is getting old. Constantly trying to manage everyone, inserting yourself into things that aren’t your responsibility, and acting like you own the company isn’t helping anyone—it’s just annoying.

Also, you’re not the locksmith. Stop changing things, controlling access, or acting like everything has to go through you. It creates confusion and makes it harder for people to actually do their jobs.

Focus on your role, do it well, and let everyone else do theirs.

u need to pay attention to all of this... things that impact decisions... bookmark this somewhere and REMEMBER: personal disputes, retaliation, preserving dominance and status, rivalries, and internal power struggles, often arising from cycles of poor judgment, limited opportunity, trauma, +loyalty

I would just like to give the middle finger to where it’s deserved. Fu-k you GK + her following a-s kissers. I will not be joining any town halls or taking the survey.

Put your head down and do your work. Fortunately the CSO isn’t actually the one that keeps us safe. He sits behind the doors that he closes behind him in his fraternity room. Bringing the sorority girls in one by one, you know the favorites. The ones that he protects and the ones that protect his little secrets that aren’t even secret! The company doesn’t have time or money for lawsuits to waste on people like this anymore! It’s just a matter of time. One would think that integrity is a core competency as the CSO! Shane on you Nike HR and legal!

Great article in Politico today on Frank continuing his work style and Brooklyn bully boy tactics at the IRS.

Been working on a project for a few months and I was told to include hih and contractors in the project. The contractors took my work and began presenting it to other leaders as their own.

I’m shocked that they just bought another company when they have said publicly many times they will stop for a while (they just bought a new one last week)

How is the ceo able to say one thing in earnings and within a month do the opposite

I secretly bugged the conference room that my manger uses when he's in the office. I can listen in to everything now.

You ain’t nothing without us! You don’t need no raises no 401k or anything. You need to worry about us cuz we
Dont care bout you at all. Company fire you for putting up a fight. We good. Thanks Moe for explaingrhat juniors hires ain’t worth nothin

As CVX price and bbl go up with the multiple conflicts, will that save us from additional layoffs?
Or is this short term?

I am working on a Gen ai product and I have a meeting to demo that to the HIH team and the contractors. I have worked hard on the project and looks like the team in HIH wants to takeover? Idk. What to do?

Hi all, I ran a second story on the lawsuit and arbitration process. Information is still very scant, but a source at Avaya alleges that it discovered a C1 document called “The Great Migration.”

APLA is nothing without CS.
This is why I'm writing the appeal the decision made up above that CS moves to Greater China which is not a good idea.
CS needs to stay in APLA at least until it's broken up.
GC needs a local to the Chinese market.

Downstream VPs managers ruining Upstream, Uncon experienced folks ruining Deepwater and Deepwater folks ruining Uncon.

Yes we need cross fu ctional experience, but not Leaders/managers. They come and make people do uncecessary studies and projects which are doomed to fail. The upstream industry is more than 100 years old, yet these d-mb bozoz think they can change the world.

This is foolishness

#IGNITE Stupidity

The idea that a fiber technician can properly maintain a hybrid fiber coaxial plant with limited hours and frequent outages while also disparaging the expertise of outside plant technicians , and vice versa referring to us as maintenance technicians, is completely ridiculous always trying to reinvent the wheel when you know this Altice Optimum experiment will always be nothing but a ponzi scheme
