#management

Thoughts?

Just curious! Could you possibly simply get a very low bonus since you still met some expectations? Most know what a tough place this is to work for many areas. If you are an employee who always got meets/meets and then one time its meets/does not meet -- is it manager's discretion?

This place is so incredibly top-heavy with managers who have fancy titles but deliver nothing. Of course, all of them protect each other, which is why they survive every reorg. Imagine a world in which they are the ones getting cut and the people who actually contribute are left alone. I know, never gonna happen here.

How clueless management is. Smh...Developers are leaving left and right. There is no pushback, just approving work constantly. New hires have zero training. Everyone is burnt out. What happened to comp days when your job forces you to work all weekend? Some managers ok with it, some managers not? And whats with the Meaningless calls 8-5 non stop every day? Who can stop this? Who can make change because its miserable to work like this.

Truly seems like management is being paid to run this company into the ground without consequences. I can only imagine what investors would think if they went to the HQ to see what is really going on with this company. Such potential and it is all going to waste because the wrong people are on a power trip and they are removing competent people who would replace them and do a better a job. If only the investors knew what was really going on at Estero and Atlanta.

Maybe the investors do know and they are making a profit when we fail? Maybe the plan is for Hertz to fail and this was all done on purpose.

The Scharf-simping nincompoops referred to as "managers" seem to spend a lot of time on this page. You can tell who they are because they are the ones posting butt-hurt comments either defending the company or launching personal attacks. They get defensive when people call out their gutless corruption on a public forum. Working at WF is bad enough; enforcing WF's corrupt, ever-changing personnel policies makes you complicit.

We all talk a big game online about bad policies and layoffs, but then we just accept it quietly. No one organizes or pushes back in a real way. That's why management keeps doing whatever they want.

Looks like several advisors and a portfolio manager in Atlanta left TIAA. I thought wealth management was their bread and butter

There’s articles out there now that mentions future layoffs at Citi if you can imagine that but the twist on it is that it mentions focusing on MD and directors as the target.

The funny part is that before these articles this board was littered with, in my opinion, manager and HR replies heckling other people’s posts or cheerleading Citi as an awesome place that its not so bad on and on.

Now since those articles, you don’t hear all of that rhetoric. I guess since they are now on the chopping block, its a different story. Its all quiet now from those people. I mean, what’s changed? Where did all of the Citi cheerleaders go?

Please continue working hard every day business as usual bringing in revenue to help support upper level retired management and perhaps one day you too shall travel first class, enjoy fine dinning, five star accommodations, fun toys and cosmetics. Thank you for your service.

Management or just the real workers ? Where?

Because Amazon has weak management and poor hiring practices. Extra points for the silent firing of disabled employees, denying them appropriate work from home accommodations.

They've apparently exhausted the AI excuse. I've been working in corporations for nearly three decades. Heard every justification under the sun. It's always been just greed, sprinkled with incompetence and laziness at the top.

Well.... we told you so, us ex-sprint folks! Everything Sprint touches gets burned to the ground!

Got a smart watch and I am logging my manager induced stress
That will sit nice in front of the judge at the end, next to my records showing pressure and various tactics meant to side track me.
I am just waiting for them to make the move

Management feeling now they actually have to do some actual work... no more sitting at a desk acting like you are working.

Wonder if management were tested on knowing job functions listed how many would pass? the company saved laying off management? i hear they are happy and plan on AI management lol

What am I aiming higher for? Maybe a 2% merit increase if I’m lucky?

I’m so incredibly sick and tired of being told I need to do more while being offered less and less.

The whole MC is garbage and needs to go.

There has been blatant favouritism going on since past two years within our team.

This manager has been dangling the carrot right in front of me in the name of opportunities, yet has never recognized me for my efforts.

All while pushing this pet on my a$$ to "learn my tasks"

What's that supposed to mean for me?

On the bright side, it's the last time I have endure Micky Onvural making d-mb cuts. Good luck, team!

It went from a good place with a future to a sinking ship. Management only cares about the stock price, not fixing our old systems or keeping people. The original idea is dead and we're all just waiting for the next bad news.

All of senior management. That’s why they are outsourcing

For himself and the people behind the curtains. The goal is to strip this thing down to bare minimum costs, maintain a revenue stream and healthy cash flow and dump it off private equity style. He most certainly doesn't work for shareholder or the stock price. The men behind the curtains pull his strings.

The world has changed and Americans now have to compete with global workforce. Now, the global workforce (workforce in India, etc. and H1-Bs in USA) work for much less than what Americans want.

Now, the companies of USA want to increase their profits so they will use cheap labour. They actually don't care about Americans, they only care about their profits and revenues. It is quite evident that the companies want profits even if they have to layoff Americans.

By the way, these all are the side-effects of capitalism.

So, now the only way for Americans to not get laid off is to ask the management to reduce their salary but let them keep their jobs.

has everyone had comp discussions already
what is the deadline for managers to inform

Why burn the gas to go into the office if I get RIF’d? My team/management isn’t there anyway. I’ll wait for the unexpected Teams Invite or call in the morning.

Many thousands of managers with under 8 direct reports -- too much fat. Trim those managers and split their reports from the managers with over 14 direct reports.

I've been at NetApp for 3 years and recently I've been thinking that it just doesn't feel like it's a good place to be anymore. The UK management only look out for themselves. I've had no promotion or rises in the last 3 years. Do you guys think that now is a good time to look elsewhere ?

The future lay off were announced yesterday for the West.

There have been strong discussions that people managers, at every level and in all locations, should lead by example by being office-based.

If you are a virtual people manager at any level, anywhere in the world, you should expect your team to be managed by an office-based leader. What that means for you, I'm sure you can guess.

Any weird blocks or interesting meeting titles today or tomorrow? I see one called program transitions later today.

When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king; the palace becomes a circus.

Things have gone downhill ever since he started at Edward Jones.

Its time to short this pig down to a single digit mid-et.

Train wreck in every org coming. We struggle to manage operations with current staffing, and no way in he!! will HIH provide % of 1% support to keep lights on, nevermind manage strategy. All those on the 20 to 25% cut list, remember you followed their lead, they created the mess...I hope they bought stock in the mops they will need to clean up the slop on the floors.

Is the business account manager position worth it today?

Our clinical appeals dept just received notice our metrics are increasing again for the nurses. So over this place and the horrendous management!

The people who run this company do not know what to do! Every directive we get from the top makes no sense and makes all of our jobs harder! This business is built on collecting free money from tax payers and the Idots still cant make it work!

i.e. retire

Dell Technologies faces criticism for a stressful, micromanaged culture, frequent layoffs creating job insecurity, bureaucracy hindering innovation, and poor work-life balance due to high workloads and recent strict return-to-office mandates. While some see value for new grads, many reviewers cite toxic environments, slow growth, and management issues leading to anxiety and low morale, especially in roles like marketing or support.

Key Issues Raised by Employees:

Culture & Management:

Micromanagement: A top-down, cost-cutting approach leading to high pressure and anxiety.
Toxic Environment: Some teams, especially Marketing, are described as toxic and lacking focus on employee well-being.
Bureaucracy: Slow decision-making, complex funding, and stifled innovation due to hierarchy.

Leadership & Strategy: Perceived lack of clear direction and an "old-school" mindset.

Job Security & Growth:

Frequent Layoffs: Constant "Reduction in Force" (RIF) cycles create fear and uncertainty.

Limited Advancement: Middle management stripped, and growth opportunities feel scarce or slow.

Stagnant Technology: Some feel the company uses outdated tech and misses trends.

Work-Life Balance:
Intense Workloads: Massive workloads and pressure, making breaks difficult.

Return-to-Office Mandates: Recent strict 5-day-a-week office policies have frustrated employees.

Compensation & Recognition:
Low Pay vs. Competition: Some feel pay isn't competitive.
Lack of Rewards: Pressure doesn't always translate to raises or bonuses.

Positive Aspects Mentioned (Often for Entry-Level):
Good for new grads needing experience.
Valuable industry exposure and benefits.
Strong focus on collaboration in some areas.

In essence, many employees feel Dell prioritizes profit over people, leading to stress, low morale, and a sense of being disposable, despite offering potential benefits for those early in their careers.
