#injustice

If a person has been treated unfairly, whether an employee, a customer, pushed out of the job, laid off unfairly, etc decent companies address these issues. Those that aren’t, like JLL-Corrigo, instead do everything to try and remove the truth. Not a good company to work for!

Ever wondered if Karma applies to individuals only or Companies too ?
Last 5 years Nike GT has been infested with blood su-king leaders who have time and again built their empire to grow themselves and then laid off all in the name of "win now".
Everyone has to pay a price for their actions. Karma gets everyone - individuals and companies !

Its one thing to be laid off but IMO severance is a slap in face. 3 months for 9 years+ employment. For those of us over 20 years employment to get 3 months severance ...seems wrong.

I can't stop thinking about the unfairness of how all this works. A small group of people at the top repeatedly make one short sighted decision after another, often ignoring warnings from the people who actually understand the business. Then, when those decisions inevitably blow up, the same people announce layoffs and call it a necessary adjustment. Not one of them takes a pay cut. Not one of them gives back a bonus. Not one of them faces any real consequence at all. Meanwhile, the rest of us, the people who had no say in any of those bad decisions, are the ones who lose our jobs, our stability, and our peace of mind. I'm so tired of watching executives protect their own wallets while ordinary employees pay the price for mistakes they didn't make. At some point, we've got to start demanding that the people in charge actually take responsibility for their own failures instead of just using layoffs as an easy out every time things get difficult.

Started here not even half a year ago. Put in the work, learned the systems, made an effort. Now I'm being kicked out with people who've been here for years. What was even the point of hiring me?

Do they seriously expect us to swallow the propaganda that these new policies serve our interests? Their "collaboration" narrative is as transparent as their eco-friendly initiative that conveniently eliminated all trash cans—forcing us to hunt for basic amenities like desperate nomads.

The "modern" open office design is nothing but a calculated insult—making us scramble for desks like it's some innovative breakthrough. And those sardine-can workspaces? They're not fostering collaboration; they're manufacturing misery. The hypocrisy is breathtaking when MW dismisses remote work with that condescending "blue-collar people don't get to work from home" remark—as if dragging everyone down to the lowest common denominator is some noble principle rather than a transparent power play.

Let's be brutally honest about where those "cost-cutting" savings are actually flowing: straight into their private jets, personal security details (if you're such a good person, why do you live in constant fear of your own employees?), and those obscenely overpriced box suites at sporting events. They're bleeding us dry to fund their elite lifestyle while preaching sacrifice.

This isn't corporate evolution—it's psychological warfare disguised as progress. They're betting we'll either quit from exhaustion or lay ourselves off through "performance issues"—or perhaps take that phrase even more literally if the pressure becomes unbearable. All while they prepare to offshore our positions or eliminate them entirely. It's not about collaboration or sustainability; it's about creating a cult of misery where your suffering directly funds their luxury.

contractors paid more then FTEs for same work ? any company will retain their FTEs and lay off contractors for any scenario!!

Have never seen it happen so much as here

I heard through the grapevine that a certain role in the private bank is being switched to remote ahead of the RTO mandate. This role has pretty much ignored all previous in-office mandates and is 90% men. Not a good look. Managers in other roles are told their jobs are on the line if their employees don’t comply.

I've seen several rounds of cuts now. And I still don't get how they pick who goes. Because time after time, the ones who get cut are the people who carried the team. The ones who went above and beyond, who stayed late, who kept things running. The heart of the team gets ripped out. And the people who do nothing stay.

This is happening to a number of people, good people too and it really makes no sense when they keep hiring. This now seems a regular approach to making change happen whenever and wherever by whomever

Today we found out that a member from my team who has only been on the team for two years will be getting promoted. That person is still very new and has a lot of questions and in my opinion work to do. One of other members on the team who has been here for 6 years is always helpful, knowledgeable, and shockingly passed for this promotion. If anyone deserves it then it’s him and I’m shocked he didn’t get it. Surprised manager or vp didn’t feel this way and went with the other team member.

You can be the best at your job and get passed over because you didn't go to lunch with the right people. I've watched clowns move up while talented people rot in place. It’s beyond demoralizing.

Shout out to all the brave folks in FCRM for speaking the truth about the simmering disastrous situation that has been ongoing for few years in FCRM that upper management has been confronted with it and had no chance of getting away from accountability and passing the blame onto middle management, playing dead and tone deaf like they had for so long. John will tell Derek and let’s see what they come back with. Power to the people, if they think meetings will be cheerleading and butt kissing like What happens with Charlie they need to think twice. The bucket is full and has been full for so long, they need to admit to the injustice, corruption and failures has happening that only their full selves and delusional minds can portray as success! We all saw it! Today FCRM folks fought back against injustice and corruption and deserve to be recognized for their bravery for speaking up and not fearing retaliation.

Let's prove it, shall we? For those of you who have seen layoffs in your groups and orgs over the past year+, what percentage of those WFRs would you say were over 40?

Just saying. they are at it again.

and no layoffs at the top. they should start there though.

11 years of blood sweat and tears and this is how you do me? A solid 5 or 6 of those feverishly cleaning up other peoples compliance messes. Only to be tossed out with the garbage without so much as a thank you.

Now they are talking about firing, not layoffs anymore. Wellsfargo is super toxic.

They're cutting skilled workers and veterans, even people in critical roles. Where's the logic in that? This short-term profit boosting through cuts is always incredibly short-sighted.

They laid off every non Indian in my team, what the f?

Don't get me wrong, there definitely was nepotism and racism with hiring inside orgs, namely IT, but this all started long before any of that. The C-level all across the US, not just Verizon, sold us out. Not the people working to live in other countries. Yet, somehow we want to blame the lower working people. Continue to be lied to, live in ignorance and be exploited. God help the next generation that will have to live through the same lies they spin-doctor with AI (once it's matured to be production ready).

As we continue to see high-performing Canadians increasingly targeted by their American managers for political reasons, a concerning disparity is also emerging in termination practices, with a disproportionate number of minorities being affected.

I read posts on LinkedIn from people who were with the company for 12, 18 and even 25 years who were laid off in this Aug 2025 RIF. Imagine working for a company for 25 years and then being cast aside like nothing with a sh---y pre-recorded 5 min call. The small severance amount is also insulting. I’m shocked by how all these loyal employees were treated.

If you were part of the layoff, you received 8 weeks of severance, unless you worked at F5 for 13 years or more. Eight weeks. For up to twelve years service. For a company that has had multiple back-to-back record setting quarters.

You're welcome, I guess, for creating product, over the years, that generated those revenues. For a company that claims to care for its employees (and in the past, actually did), this is more aligned with the Jelly of the Month Club.

Is this really the best they could do?

cancel your car bookigs, subscriptions, home bookings, tech folks are being cheated by govt and firms.
Prices jacked up to su-k all our pay and leave us vulnerable and exploitable.
