Go here https://www.forbes.com/lists/employers-culture/ and tell me I'm not seeing things. Edward Jones in at No. 21?

John Stankey built his entire career on exactly the kind of institutional loyalty he now tells 130,000 people is dead.

He joined Pacific Bell in 1985 straight out of college. He has never meaningfully worked anywhere else — Pacific Bell became SBC, SBC acquired AT&T, and he climbed every rung of the same organizational ladder for 40 years without ever having to compete in an open market for a job.

He didn't get to CEO by being market-based. He got there by being loyal, patient, politically savvy, and present for four decades in the same building. He is the living embodiment of boomer corporate loyalty — and he abolished it the moment he reached the top.

That is not irony.

That is a specific kind of moral corruption that comes from people who pull the ladder up behind them.

They pushed RTO hard and productivity somehow dropped instead of improving. Who'd have thought? (Other than everybody with two functioning brain cells, of course.)

The Culture Week "pep rallies" and platitudes of how much this company cares about the culture and it's employees is nauseating, especially during a week when another round of layoffs is happening.

anyone else see the sick irony of execs posting how much centerwell values patient mental health after cutting all the lcsws? insulting to think vendor pals will do the work

Verizon has a long history of successful execution on transformative and bold initiatives at scale. From go90, aol, yahoo, plus play, hum, blue jeans, finance transformation, Verizon global services, return to office, project 626 for customer service, and more - we have a record we can be proud of. Our leaders are experts in organizing teams in ways that result in role clarity, expertise, and results. This winning culture will do the same for our transformative AI initiatives. I have zero doubt how this will play out. Let’s go team!

The new course on SAP Strategy is really inspiring. I love the presentation given by SS.

And there are no layoffs mentioned. Looks like we can all breathe freely this year.

Citigroup wants to help American families build financial stability. Unless those families work for Citigroup.

Still hungover

Viva Las Vegas, Baby! #LeadingWithCompassion

...but they sc--wed up!! They laid me off on 9/30. Not too bright...now they'll have to mark down one of their buddies due to the "curve" ranking. LOLOLOLOL! Oh the irony.....

Got the axe this morning. Band 8 Engr. Was doing the work for higher band team members. It is ironic that Dan wants to get leaner and perform better but keeps bloat that has been here for nearly a decade, but kicks younger employees to the curb.

I find it ironic that Cisco who’s known for layoffs has these sales leaders who are well off preaching about supporting the homeless when they directly contribute to the issue. Many people who get laid off have families and houses and losing their livelihoods can directly impact their ability to provide for their families and potentially lose their means of shelter. Look the mission is great but doing this at a company like Cisco feels tone deaf

"At Cargill, everyone matters and everyone counts. Cargill is committed to creating and sustaining an inclusive and diverse work environment where all employees are treated with dignity and respect"

There was NO dignity and certainly ZERO respect when I was laid off. I was ghosted by my manager and treated by the company, colleagues like I'd been fired for cause.
