People here are acting like something like this never happened before, to anybody. People will talk about it for a few days and it'll be forgotten. Move on, everybody.

When growth fails under Mike G, ‘follow the sun’ becomes a slogan not a solution.”

“In 20026 don’t be afraid to cut everybody” off.

While support teams is getting axed, engineering is facing even more unethical layoff where all old timers are being humiliated and left with no choice but to resign. RSUs were already gone and now bonus will be majorly given to new people who are lured with big promises. Even time offs are being reduced every year and old timers are made to work like dne** with no accountability to the new people. People who some how trying to see through this are put into impossible situations. Brace for more mad stuff friends if you are still there !!

Seriously, GN&T employees, you need to pay better attention to what dear leader is saying!

"The issue isnt the RTO. Its the inconsistency of the how it's applied. Some entire teams and some teammates remain remote despite the mandate. Others have assigned desks and don't show up at all? Yes this is still happening. Others coffee-swipe and are back at home by 9:00. Some leave (they don't even sneak out) at noon. MEANWHILE other teammates are required to RTO 5 full 8-5 days"

100+ person roundtable discussion to look for issues and examples on calls for retaining customers.

No this absolutely make sense and isnt genuinely re--rded.

No it will go well and won't devolve into confusion.

Not sure where Stinky wants to get his future employees from. Based on this article, no millenial would want to work at AT&T. Then again, who would?

“So many millennials are realizing that the version of success we were told would be there for us if we did everything right is not available anymore. It doesn’t exist in the way we were told.

“I think millennials listened and played by the rules, and were told, if we did that, we’d be financially set. However, the expected sense of security and fulfillment never arrived."

That's what they're counting on. Make people more willing to sacrifice their time and energy, and work harder, because they know we're terrified of losing our jobs in this market. If we quit, they win. If we comply, they win. We get the short end of the stick either way.

Firing "higher cost" employees, replacing with cheaper, less experienced people that will be kept around for only a few years.

Higher mid level "yes men" managers who just wanna make VP/SVP/ESVP.... coming up with schemes to turn a higher profit (on paper anyway) to sell to the next higher level sociopath. Many large companies operate this way and it is ki-ling the middle class.

If you’re comfortable doing so, consider leaving an honest review of your experience at PNC on Glassdoor, Indeed, or Blind.

Future candidates rely on these reviews to understand culture, expectations, and work-life balance. Thoughtful feedback helps ensure people join with clear eyes of leadership and realistic expectations.

I understand concerns around speaking out and facing retaliation but think about this like utilizing your right to vote. If you don’t use your voice then you lose it!
There’s nothing stopping PNC from including you in layoffs whether you use your voice or not - and let’s be honest, it’s coming. Just be smart & respectful about it…

Times are changing. Don’t let yourself be just another number.

Don’t forget to spend your measly little paycheck that doesn’t keep up with inflation on the all NEW BNY (no mellon) Swag vending machine located on floor 3 of Ross Street in PGH. Branded merchandise, whenever you need it :) I hope whoever came up with the idea loses their job, significant other, big toes and cat in the foreseeable future

After seeing it happen to so many dedicated people around me, I'm really questioning the whole point. You watch colleagues who got top reviews and decent raises one year get let go the next. It makes you wonder if going above and beyond actually protects you, or if it just makes you a more expensive line item. I’m starting to think the smart move is to do good work, but keep your energy and best ideas for your own life outside of here.

Read the title 🤣

Is it just me, or does it feel like you have to be the loudest person in every meeting to get noticed around here? I keep my head down, hit all my goals, and still feel invisible compared to the people who just talk the most. I really shouldn't have to broadcast every single thing I do just for a bit of recognition from management. It gets exhausting playing that game all the time.

what is something out of the norm that they’ve never done before that you’re noticing that’s happeningy? Is this something out of the norm for you and this time of the year?

In speaking to others during my lunchtime, we all agree that technology is going to be the biggest area that will suffer. And when technology suffers, the customer base will suffer. No one, and I mean no one is going to bend over backwards, work evenings, or weekends anymore without work/life balance. A lot of good talent will leave. And remember, even though we are replaceable, good talent takes time to find and bring up to speed. We are talking months! Who is going to pick up the slack? The managers? They can only do so much. They are already over stressed and overworked putting in so many hours.

The worst thing as well, is the media will get wind of this confirmation of a 5 day return to work requirement and PNC’s reputation is going to suffer. Mark my words. It will make them look bad. Why couldn’t we just be a leader in the banking industry and keep it at 3 days a week? Why do we always end up being the follower? Can you imagine the talent we could bring in with a good life/balance plan? At the end of the day, when employees are happy, they tend to go above and beyond for their employer. That’s a known fact.

Were you honest with the latest Glint Survey that came out today for the all staff meeting next week?

I was, and will it impact me future? If it does then I know for sure this company is not the last place I will ever work.

To ATT Execs about closing down Atlanta.
Nobody told them about Badstreet USA!

Grab your life vest, and jump ship. You heard it straight from the CEO.

For the better part of past 2.5 years, my manager has been "dangling the carrot" in front of me as a promise to give me opportunities but reality is I have to find my own ways to showcase my work.

I have noticed this snake keeps shutting down my thoughts / ideas in group calls.

Apart from that, there's a pattern I noticed of finding ways / excuse to invalidate my work as well as giving a new joinee in the team more opportunities, asking team to reach out to them for assistance (if any).

Is this normal at Fido?

So no flexibility for me??? Great, no flexibility from me when there are system problems. At 5pm, I’m off the clock. I will leave my laptop in my locker. That’s all folks!

I think managers are already telling their people. It’s so fu---d guys. My coworker got switched and they aren’t even near a major hub or my team. LITERALLY WHAT IS THE REASON??????????????

I am remote, but still waiting for confirmation.

Good luck and godspeed today. It’s the end of the company we know. Already have friends and family closing their accounts.

Oh gosh, what does this mean?!

It's the top story on insidesas today. They're making commercials for it? There's a dedicated online store, they have pop-up shops around campus.

Why?

Let's wait and see instead of deciding this is the day or this is the week. It's not good for anybody's mental health.

Thoughts on the townhall with Pete?

I’ve been at Honeywell 10 years(multiple SBGs). This is BY FAR the craziest and most chaotic time I’ve had a HON. By far. Really trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel for IA, but the light is dim. Leaders present the pretty slides and visions but nothing ever trickles down. The climb has to be so massive to really turn the IA ship. Every function has a different priority. No one has resources.(and more RIFs are coming) No one has funding. Light at the end of the tunnel is dim.

Trying to stay positive but it’s tough.

Dont trust anyone do what u can and move on this place is crumbling from within. All the executives suites fault but everyone pays for there clueless ideas.

As long as there are those around who remember what was, there will be people who will resist what will be. We are in the endgame folks, he means to wipe us all out and he’s got the stones to do it.

I genuinely want to deliver a good service to our customer, but I’m constantly blocked from doing so. At this point, I’ve more or less given up trying.

The client wants something relatively simple, yet getting it done feels almost impossible. I don’t have the access, authority, or trust needed to make the required change.

Even with an agreed task, every individual step has to be re-approved by someone else — often with different interpretations or priorities. Eventually, someone may action it, but more often than not it’s done incorrectly. I then can’t see what’s actually been changed, so I’m unable to diagnose why it still doesn’t work.

The end result is that I often have to resubmit the same ask and hope that next time someone different both understands it and implements it correctly. It’s an incredibly inefficient way of working, and it makes delivering a quality outcome for the customer far harder than it needs to be.

What’s most frustrating is that management appear to see this as acceptable — even desirable — because we charge by the hour. The more friction there is, the more time is spent, and the more the client ultimately pays.

There has to be a better way, but I’m surrounded by people who insist there isn’t. We’re not keeping customers happy - we’re not keeping customers at all. They won’t be won over by a new logo or rebrand — they want the way we work to change. And while people continue to feel undervalued, it’s hard to see how that change will happen at DXC.

Let the rumor mill run. I've always liked him and his candidness as a leader.

Waters come in 75th on the happy place to work list and that's only in Boston.in ireland it didn't even make the list.

Curious if anyone else is seeing or feeling the downstream effect of what’s happening at the top of the house. I don’t mean the obvious things, I mean the intangible effects of the changes and stress.

Is anyone else’s team acting differently? People more isolated? Less collaborative? People acting like aholes to each other? An every man out for himself feeling, where it didn’t exist before?

Because all the bad characters are still there.

I’m specifically looking for news about changes to Dunwoody/Ravinia and Bellevue… are they still serving free weekly lunches? Are the Data and AI teams doing alright?

There is no reason in the world that a full 5 day in office, no exceptions, for every employee mandate needs to be made. Much less so quickly AND during a bank merger. With all the money baby billy dimon is making he just wants more. mgmt likes to make it about collaboration and culture, but really they are just further ruining PNC's culture by forcing this on everyone. PNC already doesnt pay well and is now making everyone incur costs they werent before. PNC had a ton of remote workforce before covid and is now going back on all of that. A lot of people were hired as remote or worked as remote for years before all of this and they are told to go in.... for what? to make sad little billy happy to see people in his offices. The offices su-k! have you been to any of them? what is the incentive for anyone to come in? There is none! pay for parking, additional childcare, food, travel, vehicle maintenance, etc. PNC cant even bump pay a little to compensate when they are making billions each quarter.

Bumping this up for visibility. OP: @ea+1kes6rfnt

TRP is so behind our peers in so many ways. Those who have spent their careers here often don’t see the issues or aren’t willing to challenge them. It’s time to bring in more new blood at the top levels to turn the ship around. The focus should be on innovation and operational efficiency.
