#morale

No energy. No details.
Just work faster and harder.

When is the chaos, being led by the blind, and wild expectations going to stop? We have been through the wringer and those of us who have held on hoping things will get better are losing hope! This is the definition of insanity!

Don't ki-l yourself for this place. It's truly not worth it. The people running things now don't respect us, so why should we respect them?

Our leadership only cares about costs and stock prices right now. Long term? That's someone else's problem. We're all just numbers to them.

I'm just tired of always doing the extra work and never getting any recognition for it.

I've been asking myself this a lot lately. Would I rather be unemployed and stressed about money, or stay here and be stressed about work every single day? Neither option is good. But if you had to pick, which would you choose?

I used to love working here. Now I hate it, and I can't pinpoint when the shift happened.

We used to have that. Can we go back to that time?

Call me lazy if you want, but I'm not the one who reaches for layoffs every time expenses need to come down. There are a hundred ways to save money that don't involve cutting people. They just don't want to do the work to find them. I'm just returning the favor.

Some companies have favorite departments or favorite people. Not Oracle. They seem to genuinely dislike everyone equally. From the newest hire to the twenty year veteran. Nobody is safe from the bad treatment.

I walked away three months ago because I was tired of working sixty-hour weeks. I left my team in a tough spot, but I honestly don’t feel bad about it. I feel great. They created the mess that I kept fixing over and over again, and eventually I got tired of carrying it all on my back. Part of me would still love to see how things are working out for them now that the mule is gone.

I just realized I have 15 years until I can get Medicare. I don’t know how I’m going to last that long. Every day at WF is miserable and there are no jobs out there to go to.

That's why we keep losing the best people, the real backbone of teams. So don't kid yourself that performance will save you. When your number's up, no amount of effort is going to change that.

I trained myself not to stress. With so many layoffs ahead, probably rolling out constantly, there's no point in anticipating. They're free to lay me off. I just don't have it in me to care anymore.

Really? You are that unhappy being so well paid, having world class facilities and being associated with great athletes? Things are so terrible.

Also, no one is ever specific at all. Bot much?

Why are bots after Nike?

I worked at Nike for close to a decade, and the first 8 years were the best professional years of my life.

It’s bizarre that you complain, complain, complain here…but don’t seem to have the cajones to stand up for yourself, have an honest conversation with your boss, or just leave if you are so terribly unhappy. Of course this is giving the benefit of the doubt that you aren’t bots and trolls.

Nike was built on people that had the courage to work through this type of pettiness.

Anything longer is just pouring energy into a dead end. Looks good on a resume, but don't expect a career or any real payoff.

Now I've seen them cut a friend who broke his back for this place with no warning. From now on, it's just a paycheck.

So now EH is doing paid-for press to try to save this message? Please. Let's get a panel from the 1400 from the recent layoff and the thousands from all the previous layoffs on the Today show.

Pathetic. He's pathetic.

Whenever I sit in on a team meeting, nobody talks. Nobody volunteers ideas. Nobody seems to care. And when people stop caring, the company stops working. I think we're watching the slow collapse.

All these teammates flying into Charlotte for 2-3 days. Hilarious and bad look. Par the course as they say. Never seen more butt kissing since merger.

Morale’s so low at this point that a decent package would probably have people leaving willingly instead of fighting to stay. A lot of us checked out mentally a while ago.

I understand why longtime employees stay because routine and stability can trap you after enough years, but I genuinely don’t understand what newer hires are seeing in this place now. Most of the things that once made it attractive disappeared a long time ago, yet people still keep coming in the door somehow.

I moved back home two years ago after spending five years at Aramco, and I can’t tell you how relieved I am not to be there right now. The place had already gone downhill before the entire region exploded, so I can only imagine what things are like there now.

I've been here long enough to remember when teams actually worked together. When you could ask someone for help and they'd give it. When leadership encouraged collaboration instead of competition. That's completely gone now. I don't know what this place has become but it's not what I joined.

Too much fat around that desperately needs to be cut. Sadly, I doubt they'll ever be asked to leave. Most of them are too good at a-s-kissing to worry about their jobs. But a guy can dream, right?

I’m officially out of this hellhole in August and I just want to hear some of the feelings of people who left. I’ve been here for 4 years, 2 years too long and decided to go back to school full time. I could only imagine it feels like the weight of the world off of my shoulders

They talk big and contribute nothing.
Dressed sharp, empty inside, opportunistic and self centered.
I'd bet big money that nobody would notice if we were to cut that layer in half.

Managers lecture about psychological safety but nobody is willing to speak up, challenge, or take initiatives anymore because the blaming game is strong. Don’t trust their words. Look for actions instead.

Hey MW, just come out and say it that you want all US employees to quit so all that is left is you and a couple executives and the rest of the company overseas. We are big boy and girls and get it that your goal is to make us all so miserable we all leave. Its a guarantee its on all of ELT's PMPs to get all jobs overseas and to drive morale into.th4 ground!

At Chevron for employees its a race to the bottom with MW and his terrible team running this S Show. What is the next soul crushing move for this leadership team? Will we take turns cleaning the bathroom? Work a mandatory 6 days a week? No AC in the office? Bring your own TP in? Anyone have any idea as its been a couple months since they made things worse!

Incredible. Verizon cut office cleaning and garbage pickup to once a month. Yet paying half these upper mgrs over $200,000 plus a year.

Remember seeing one VP sending award emails monthly. Not bad. Half a mil to go rah rah.

Been nixed here.
They are so much into push push push never fast enough do more do more have less time to breathe. It’s awful lately
I had great expectations for this career and each year gets more grueling and demoralizing.
Add the RTO FT and even the layoffs small in number are devastating. I don’t think I can keep up this pace.

LinkedIn is on fire for employees leaving EM. It’s not the 5year employees but the ‘after 20years I’ve decided to make the move’ employees. People who are vested in the betterment of EM but have had enough of the constant beatings, low morale and drive to the bottom. Imperial have had more than 300 people resign / leave and now are operating at minimum safe staffing, Australia is on its a@se, people are leaving us here at campus and not being replaced. Until the headline hits the bottom line, EM won’t care but safety will be impacted.

But being treated like a human being instead of a soulless number throughout the process shouldn’t be optional.

But by now I know the systems, I know the people, and leaving feels like starting over. So I stay. It's stupid but it's honest. I think there are many stuck at IBM with a similar mindset.

Lately almost every conversation turns into someone talking about applying elsewhere, and a lot of them are willing to make less money if it means escaping this place. That says more about what working here has become than any employee survey ever could.

What the heck was this boring useless and common sense drivel?????

Hot mess….

Nobody knows whats going on with it…

Doesnt usaa know that a good portion of employees do not deal or interact with members?????

We are a much worse place with significantly more terrible, weak, shallow, and insecure leadership than when the COVID pandemic hit in early 2020. Im nervous that if the hantavirus becomes a pandemic that these human skinsuits will not react well or empatheticly. Anyone else feel the same?

I know that probably sounds strange, but when layoffs actually surprised people, it meant they happened rarely enough that nobody was constantly expecting them. These days, layoffs feel so normal that there’s barely even shock anymore. We’re always waiting for the next round, so when it finally happens, it just feels like more of the same.
