#morale

Gave this place 18 years. That’s the thank you I got. Loyalty means sh-t these days.

This is the second time within months our team was hit. How are we supposed to do our jobs and remain sane when layoffs are now basically a monthly occurrence?

s it normal to feel overwhelmed at Verizon?. Or is just because we are heritage tracfone and the are doing it on purpose for us to quit?

Plus the new office will make worst commute due the traffic in Miami next to the airport.

Is it just me or the New Jersey ppl don’t feel this overwhelmed with the amount of Requests while you doing your daily job?

So Hans ran the company into the ground and gets an extra year of his 24 million salary. Sampath gets a 4 million dollar retention bonus and leaves 3 months later. Meanwhile store managers are being read the riot act if their stores have overtime. Cause my 3 hours of OT are gonna sink the company. Way to take care of your people Verizon. I always knew I was a just a number. But I felt like an appreciated and valued number. Nope. I am no longer proud to work here. Verizon wants me to do the impossible but God forbid it takes me 42 hours. Can't wait for the next pulse survey.

For those around MW and they definitely check this site. Does MW know he's the most hated CEO in Chevron history? Is he being insulated from the morale crisis we have? What does he say to all this?

Maybe this is me but the concept of announcing several executive level promotions and simultaneously telling the workforce that there will be layoffs to offset inflation, shows a total lack of humanity and civilized behavior. Is that what we have become?

Is one of the reasons morale is so low having to do with no trust in leadership? Above a certain level?

I’ve only been here for a few years, but it seems we have a disproportionate amount of leaders ousted under suspicious circumstances.

Is it normal to have so many leaders in the news? Class actions. Federal investigations. S-xual misconduct.

Doesn’t feel normal.

Three team members were displaced a couple of weeks ago.
After bonus payout, 3 out of 4 senior team members resigned.
Made my day

Congratulations!

I assume most posters here are from the commercial side. Does anyone have insights into how things are going on the FEPOC side? Morale? VSP impacts? The organization became very top-heavy over the years, and I know a lot of VSP electees were MLT/SLT/ELT. However, there were also some seasoned "regular" employees with tons of technical and/or business knowledge who departed.

Seeing employees in D&S quitting. What have they seen and what do they know that is leading to this?

Did the email move you at all? 🤔 It felt hollow to me. If they could have gotten rid of all of us at once they would have. I feel more like we are on a subway train...yeah, all of us are moving "forward", but we all have "stops" ahead where we must get off....Oh well, whatever.

Company meeting, a year on and JT is still giggling about the "Difficult conversations" around taking away AEGs

5 - 22%
4 - 21%
3 - 20%

There’s basically no incentive to do anything other than the bare minimum.

WOW! Stores are literal ghost towns- There is NOBODY in the stores- empty aisles, unsold freight, zero employees. This company has been swirling the bowl for the last 2 years. People- get out now. The company is tanking.

Ever since RC got let go, the morale has been at an all time low, AM who is the DM now has made everyone miserable

Bergdorf Goodman employees are fleeing to Bloomingdales on 59th and also luxury boutiques on Madison Avenue. Some employees are saying their paychecks are being manipulated and they are being cheated out of hundreds of dollars per week.

I feel like things are still generally ok on the core teams here at TD. The important people are still here and the wlb is still great, who else feels the same?

Try to be at least a bit positive.

If I survive this wave, all I can hope for is more work, more stress, and definitely more chaos. Nothing to look forward to but holding onto this awful job for as long as possible. I'm demoralized to the point of being both numb and depressed. I honestly don't know what's worse anymore - being laid off, or staying.

Very bottom of the page. Looks like some elitist party of millionaires out of touch with their own workers.

Belk has resorted to hiring managers with no real skills or management power, it seems like they regurgitate what is said in emails or conference calls yet make no effort to follow up on any issues in the store. Many employees have complained that their store managers are lacking skills, knowledge, and motivation to successfully run their store, some sales team managers, merch team managers, leads, and key holders have voiced concern that they are the ones running the stores, yet the store manager is taking credit and being compensated for their hard work. The question is who is hiring these ineffective store managers ? and why? It’s of great concern when the leads, associates, and floor managers care more and know more about their store than the actual store manager.

I think some teams are seriously down to bare metal. I'm not sure how we can get leaner. I'm one of the few test engineers left in the USA

This Friday when I have my performance evaluation, if I do not get a merit (haven’t had one in two years) I am totally giving up on my work ethic. I can no longer let this team think this is okay and that I will continue to work hard. At this point I’m blaming direct manager and above them. I’m tired of us always blaming this man behind the curtain. Our managers are agreeing to this and they are at fault at this point too. Them just agreeing and going on with their day while they get $20k bonuses means they are at fault. I suggest you blame them too.

Wut the managers doin? Are they trying to get all the PTs and MTs to quit?? This place has been as depressing as a broken dishwasher at all you can eat buffet since January.

I saw this post earlier and thought it was worth to share here. When Nintendo faced disappointing sales during the Wii U era, the company’s leadership made an unusual decision.
Instead of reducing staff, then, president Satoru Iwata voluntarily cut his own salary, and other executives also accepted pay reductions.
The move was meant to protect employees, maintain morale, and preserve the creative culture that Nintendo believed was essential for long-term success. It became a widely discussed example of leadership taking responsibility during difficult financial periods rather than passing the burden directly onto workers.

Now that the severance periods for most MRO employees have ended and the fallout of CEP and all the EOI's. How many MRO employees that took a role with COP are still there and happy?

Feels like a ton have left.

But your raise will still be 2-3% maximum and bonus will be pennies on the dollar and taxed at 50%

So… Friday was a hard day.

They cut and cut and cut, and somehow expect things to keep running smoothly. It doesn't work that way. This company could be great, but leadership is ki-ling it one layoff at a time.

Might be the d-mbest realignment this company has ever done. What a colossal f—k up

Giant Eagle used to care about its people. Now we’re at the point where employees are treated no better than they are at Walmart. It’s genuinely sad to see how far this workplace has fallen when it comes to its workers. This leadership should be ashamed.

I gave up my evenings, my weekends, everything. And there's still more work waiting. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up. Something's gotta give.

I still remember when getting hired at T meant you were set for life. You'd retire from here. Now look at us. Those were the days, huh?

I'm now rooting for a layoff. I've earned a decent package and I'd happily take it and run. How messed up is it that people with years of service would rather be shown the door than stick around? Says everything about where this place is at.

Pros: a few decent coworkers who aren't management.
Cons: everything else. Bad management, zero work-life balance, toxic politics, no growth, no security. The list goes on and on. Says a lot when the only good thing is some of the people.

Forcing employees to worry about their jobs nonstop is a perfect way to destroy morale and crater productivity. You can see it playing out in real time.

They always want us to be all in, committed, loyal. But when it's convenient for them, we're just numbers on a spreadsheet. Don't preach teamwork and family to me when you treat people like this.

Do they not care that morale has hit rock bottom? That nobody can focus on their work for fear of they might lose their job at any moment? How is this considered a good business strategy?

If the goal was to make us all stop caring, they nailed it. Nobody gives a damn anymore about the company or its problems. The response to everything is just "whatever." And then they'll wonder why nothing gets done.
