#employeerelations

Hour long meeting full of insults. The idea that working in office will foster conversation and innovation is, as someone else has said, a fat load of kwap. There are SO many reasons for why this isn't going to go well on the 4th, but I don't want to beat a dead horse.

I'm just tired, man.

We were a smaller bank that loved its people. Like the year we all donated 2 days of vacation to save employees from being laid-off? Or the time we took stock options instead of a full bonus or when you could still volunteer at your church, helping the homeless with bags of food and clothing and count that as a volunteer day, or when we respected women leaders and promoted them, or when RD said he knew we were the best bankers and to go out and prove it - and we did! Q after Q!

In the last year we have lost so many benefits, our self-esteem, Clients, our edge, our talent. Just chip, chip away until us seasoned, experienced worker bees (remember when it was ok to not WANT to step over dead bodies to save your job and you could just have pride in what you did) leave for greener fields.

I appreciate growth, promotion, and working hard to get there. I have won numerous awards at USB for top sales, but one day you just realize the top tier cancer has eaten too much of the good to outweigh the bad and you know there is no treatment for the cancer and so you abandon the host and find a new clean place to do your best and give your all and grow. I can't believe the number of people leaving and then taking all their top talent with them. You think a LTI loss forced signature is going to stop them? The new banks have already given them a sign-on bonus that took that pain away.

We used to be amazing for our Clients, employees, partners, vendors and now all we are is painful to watch.

Yes, I am leaving for a new job and so I can say all this, but I grew up in this family and it is hard to watch and extremely hard to leave my siblings behind.

Our org is now a complete mess , and the workload is becoming insane, they are running everywhere without a clear plan and throw it all on IC workers , what about you how is it going ?

never seen this before

Corporate IT Comrades:

I have been in my role for less than a year so I’m not eligible for a true “promotion.” Plus, we all know getting a promotion right when you’re eligible is never going to happen. However, I have been doing well above my job description for that entire time and that has even been acknowledged by many people leaders in and adjacent my team.
Due to the fake “we are broke” story when bonuses came out, I barely got anything from it despite meeting the max threshold.
All of this to say, I know I’m being paid $10k-$20k less than my peers that have the same job title plus I’m doing above and beyond that.
Is there any way to negotiate/demand a higher salary right now? Due to my personal situation, applying to new jobs to play hardball isn’t really an option right now.
I want to stay at centene but I want to be paid fairly.

Is anyone aware of layoffs that are upcoming for enterprise imaging? There was an org restructure (as there always is) so many of us are moving under a diff leadership structure. There have also been requests to provide more info on our roles and what we are doing on a day to day basis.

Watching L3Harris Technologies lay off its strongest performers over the past few years—the very people who held the mission together—was a turning point for me.
Leadership continues to celebrate costly tools and strategies that never deliver, while overlooking the voices of their workforce and customers. Millions spent on buzzwords and consultants, yet the foundation—people, trust, products execution—was neglected.
Across the prime contractor landscape, instability like this doesn’t go unnoticed. Contracts may be won in the short term, but they erode quickly when customer confidence declines.
Why would employees stay fully invested when they’re operating in constant fear of losing their jobs? Performance isn’t consistently rewarded—and too often, those who stand out become targets instead of leaders.
This industry is demanding, but this outcome wasn’t inevitable—it was self-inflicted. The only thing disrupted was itself.
I miss the work and the people. I don’t miss a culture where talent is disposable and accountability is absent.
Morale isn’t optional—it’s mission critical. For the outstanding workforce there is better out there, it takes time but you will find a place where your voice matters.

You.”

Working for a large tech company isn't the job utopia it once was. In addition to worrying about layoffs and the constant threat of AI, Meta workers will soon have all their mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes logged by the company. What's likely to further annoy workers is the purpose for these keyloggers: to train Meta's AI agents so they can perform work tasks.

I'd like to determine if I'm being underpaid, but I've been hitting a wall when I try to bring up the subject of pay.

Is anybody else really fu--ing tired of it?

Did this already happen? What I mean by that is, were people already notified and their end dates are in May and June or is this something new that's about to take place?

Can they be so heartless to cut us after so many of us uprooted our lives to work here?

Looking at this sorry soap opera called Expand one wonders.

Why filling the spaces left by a bunch of incompetent losers that got nothing to show for after 2 years of walking, meeting and sipping like mindless drones?

Why not buying a tent and make this sad show a travelling circus going round and around PA, OK and TX?

Give the investors something to laugh about instead of a truckload of excuses.

Is PIP something that can happen, or do you simply get fired, no chance to improve, if you messed up?

You'd have a bad quarter, they'd cut a bunch of people, then things would be quiet for a while. That's not how it works anymore. Now the notifications go out almost every week. Someone new gets the call. Someone new clears out their desk. Every single week. It's not a wave anymore, it's a constant drip. How did we let it come to this?

That's all I wanted to say.

We lost too many folks lately to quitting. Why are you doing this horrible leadership favors? They're overjoyed whenever anybody leaves because that means they save money on severance. Just wait it out. At this point, it's a matter of time before most of us are laid off. Which means that you're losing out on severance by walking away.

Only a few hundred from the planned thousands were cut in this round. I don't know when it'll continue, but it'll continue soon enough. Be prepared, folks.

Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority announced nearly 300 layoffs. This decision stems from Los Angeles County funding cuts. LAHSA employees sent an open letter to county leaders. They urged officials to prevent job losses and restore funding. Employees believe layoffs will worsen the homelessness crisis.

I found out one of my peers who is a senior manager has a criminal background. Not sure if I should report her. I am pretty sure the company is not aware of it.

Quit last year around this time and sorta forgot about EM, but thought I'd check in to see how y'all are doing.

I do keep in touch with a few EM folks and they all seem kinda sad or stressed out (though the BTC people on LinkedIn seem happy).

How's it going there these days?

I can't with people who say there were surprised by layoffs. How?? Layoffs have been a regular occurrence for years. Constant small cuts with several major rounds every few months. Where were you if you managed to miss this? I'm not saying it should be like this, but please, stop saying "layoffs happened out of nowhere."

Will Dvn keep this. Ctra didn’t want to give it to most employees

60 people let go April 9th from the North Amityville location. All where on the b1b program. Program was sold . They will be closing 1 of 3 buildings at first. Harris is then selling off the other 2 buildings we-pons release and antennas after this. The new company they are creating for missile defense. The division sale should happen end or the beginning of 2017 to mid 2017
Clifton is also to be a target end of 2027. There the only division that owns there facility . Property worth quite a bit of money. The high cost of labor in new Jersey. Programs are to be moved and or sold. As we all know Harris needs cash.
I have been with Harris management in palm bay for 10 years. Family person just like you.
Don't want people caught off guard about their choice of employment to affect their future also current staff.
Maybe I am a snitch but want future and current staff to be aware .
All the best to you and yours to the future.

There is simply not enough people for the amount of work they keep piling on. Everyone is running on empty. Instead of always pouring profits back to investors, maybe put some of that back into headcount and the employees who are actually keeping things moving. It would go a long way.

I didn’t think it was possible but it seems as though the experience at Nike has only increased in toxicity. I cannot even imagine being there now. I left many years ago after 22 years.

Layoffs incoming !!!! Time for managers to count their favorites and retain the ego strokers.

Is it true?

Org is hemorrhaging top performers who are choosing to leave rather than swim in this toxic cesspool or stay but continue to do the bare minimum. No one wants to work anymore and most don’t even try to hide their distain annd indifference toward management and every day is an exercise in misery. Legg once again injected ominous innuendo and gloom in his latest townhall with a message of AI up or leave or be ready to board a surplus boat and join the breadlines. Rather than profile the type of AI integration needed at an individual contributor level, he sees his work as done after giving us Ask AT&T and GH and a forward kick in the pants to go figure it out before our peers and better than our peers and don’t forget to crush our peers in using it along the way. Too bad it was his knee and not his mindset that got a recent upgrade. I guess we all have to hobble around and suffer as his campaign to crush and demoralize us continues. Retirement can’t come soon enough and I will do the absolute minimum in office for the handful of years I need and only what keeps me under radar on big brother reporting. Tomorrows surplus notification will affect mainly Product and roll them off on 5/5.

Stankey’s bank account isn’t gonna grow itself. Be sure to work hard today so him and the rest of the C suite can line their pockets.

You’re probably working for some menial reason, like paying for your families healthcare, or being able to afford living.

Never forget, the only reason you exist is to make the rich richer. Once your job no longer makes them richer, you no longer have a purpose

Mad Cave Studios recently laid off several employees. This included senior editors and marketing staff members. The company's president, Mark Irwin, cited the need for long-term health. He stated the changes allow for resilience and strategic investment. These layoffs follow similar staff reductions at Marvel Comics.

This worrying trend of "side hustles" has me concerned for the support I (won't) get from colleagues when needed.

I have emailed senior management regarding engineers circumventing their Teams statuses, mainly via scripts, in order for DXC to start looking into ways of identifying those responsible.

I doubt anything will happen but hopefully we can rid the company off these non-team players. I recommend doing the same. A few colleagues are following suit this morning and sending their own concerns.

Mass layoffs are increasingly common, often involving thousands of roles at once. How senior leaders handle these decisions profoundly impacts organizational trust, talent, and performance. Research indicates that while layoffs offer short-term financial relief, they can damage long-term engagement and institutional knowledge. Effective leadership during layoffs requires clear rationale, human conversation, and dignified treatment of employees. Companies must prioritize support and transparency to maintain a strong culture.

Anyone factually know of the enhanced severance details? I know someone who was laid off a year or so ago and after 12 years they got one months pay and silently finished there two weeks.

I hope it’s better than 1 week a year and some bogus outplacement service.

Can we stop with the PAC emails? Unless they are advocating changing laws for fewer layoffs.

HR is questioning my 10 day bereavement that I took last month. Is this normal or should I be worried that they are looking to include me in the next round?
