#morale

Like it’s getting to the point where they are counting how many times I’ve reached out for assistance in a multi month period. For the record these were assigned cases that were rare scenarios I hadn’t come across yet and neither had they lol. I was told i apparently reached out for assistance about a dozen times over a 2.5 month period. lol whatever

So uhhhh…are we not going to talk about this? Results were atrocious. We think anything is going to happen or a lot of hand waving and being told we should appreciate our jobs?

The constant manipulation by management just wears you down until you don't even recognize yourself anymore. Trust me, it's not worth it.

Let me do my job and it'll get done in time. Hanging over my shoulder all the fu--ing time will only slow down the process and you threatening with my name being put on the "list" if it's not will just get me pi---d off, not motivated. How hard is it to let us do our jobs in peace?

Anyone else not getting paid c suite money is a part of the brokie class. That includes the d-mb white men that hates everyone and thinks they deserve more. There is no DEI garbage anymore after trump took over. Anyways, 200k a year in this economy is fu--ing nothing and you aint sh-t to be talking down on someone. If you hate indians, asians, or women, do something about it pu--y and stop being on this thread.

Oracle is reportedly undertaking its largest-ever layoffs. A report on Blind alleges the company exploits loopholes. Internal systems show hybrid workers reclassified as remote. This reclassification aims to avoid the WARN Act's 60-day notice. The post described this action as 'morally bankrupt'.

The last RA included one of my older teammates. The guy knew this place inside out as he's been here for a couple of decades. He was not pushy, didn't clamor for raises or bonuses. I don't know if he ever took a sick day. At least I didn't notice. He was also probably our most productive employee. So if IBM is willing to get rid of somebody like that, there's really nothing any of us can do to ensure our safety.

It takes two or three years to really learn a job here because everything's held together with tape and nobody wants to fix anything.

I've worked at several companies over the years, and I have never seen anything quite like the culture of secrecy that exists here. Management hoards information, doling out tiny scraps only when absolutely necessary. They don't trust any of us to handle bad news or make decisions, so they treat us like children instead of empowering us to do our jobs well. The result is a workforce that's disengaged, frustrated, and constantly in the dark about where the company is actually headed. It's frustrating, to say the least.

There is no such thing as a team here. You work in isolation and only hear from management when you messed up. Climbing past a certain point is impossible and they offer zero support for learning anything new. Do not put yourself through this. Your home life will suffer, your relationships will feel the strain, and you will need a break just to recover. Work somewhere that actually cares.

In my org, two people were shown the door yesterday. It wasn't a layoff but outright firing. This is after another person was fired a few months ago. I won't lie, the whole thing is making me very nervous. Is this something that's been happening more lately throughout the company?

In the last seven or eight years, I've been on teams with roughly thirty different people. Every single one of them has been let go. Every single one except for me. I should be happy that I'm still employed but I'm the opposite. The whole thing feels so dooming and all I can think about is that I'm next or if I'll bring more bad luck to my next team.

does not look good at all

Heard they are no longer publishing the eNPS Score - so it must be really bad and i love it for them, but sadly no one will care.

The recent quarterly meeting Q&A made one thing undeniable: management has a severe employee trust deficit. With this morale, getting 2-digit growth rate is impossible.

Almost gave up. Fingers crossed, everyone, please. I'm so demoralized here that getting out is about saving my sanity now. Hard to believe I was once excited to work here.

I gave up hoping it would ever get better, or that my role would see any meaningful improvement or progression. I just hope the job market improves in the foreseeable future so we can all find better options. One thing I'm sure of - I will never work for a big corporation again, if I can help it.

I'm seriously asking. Is there even one? Layoffs have only managed to cut useful, productive people who were valuable to their teams and the company. I, for one, can't pick up the work left by people who were recently laid off, even if I wanted to. And I don't want to. AI isn't replacing anyone in any functional way. So the endgame is to squeeze the last drop until everything falls apart?

The ferriswheel is starting up again. Let’s improve the company’s bottom line by another deep cut. Why not, it keeps working? The leadership of this company couldn’t manage a lemonade stand. Total failures. Jetting back and forth between Jax and Cincinnati. Feeling they are the best leaders ever. The emperor has no clothes. The leadership is ineffective. Can we cut a few of them instead of people that are really making a difference? Can we cut the bloated CX / acct mgr world that does nothing? It is hard to convince clients that FIS is the company to partner with when you know it is sinking as the execs drill more holes to help.

The damage caused by the Stinky 8/1/25 email can never be undone.

For most employees, the message was loud and clear: your concerns don’t matter. Your feedback doesn’t matter. Your time, family, commute, and quality of life don’t matter.

Whether Stink intended that message or not, that’s exactly how it was received. Totally thoughtless, inconsiderate, unstable, emotionally charged, and power drunk.

The result of Stinks decisions and policies has been years of declining morale, disengagement, frustration, and a workforce that feels increasingly disconnected from the people making the decisions.

Now another survey is coming up.

Don’t forget how Stink responded the last time employees spoke honestly. The reaction said more than the survey results ever could. We now know he’s totally unstable and a loose cannon.

If you believe trust has been damaged, say it.

If you believe the culture has deteriorated, say it.

If you believe rigid policies are driving away good people and hurting engagement, say it.

This is one of the few chances employees have to be heard. Use it.

Do anyone feels like the load is increasing day by day. More tasks been included

We have had our system down since Friday. Nobody knows what they are doing to try and fix it. Customers are going to be so pi---d off when we have to stop shipping because we cant process anything. This sh-tshow is before all the layoffs as well. I have literally been sitting here doing absolutely nothing for 2 days while secretly chuckling inside because I feel like this is karma

It’s been something.

Psychobabble email from the "dealers" i mean...leaders this morning.

Blah blah blah, we have no money. Please dont quit.

F*cking deadbeats.

Companies are no longer here for the good of their staff. It's all about the execs pay and share price. It's all illusion and spin. Everyone for themselves.

Sadly, this is how things are now and people need to accept it. Whenever I see posts that bemoan how the leadership doesn't care about us, I just shake my head. Of course they don't. They care about money. And they get more money by sc--wing the rest of us over. That's our new reality and people should accept it if they don't want to drive themselves crazy thinking how those at the top should "care about us." That's a child's way of thinking.

And we still have people like Oliver and Octavian destroying our business and staff morale. Joe was promising but seems to have a parrot called Oliver on his shoulder feeding lies and BS to get where he wants.

When is Hitachi Ltd going to listen to their main assets, those who do the hard work, those that deal with customers every day, and want the best for the company and not just an ego trip. CSAT is nothing without those on the ground, and if they aren’t happy how can our customers be happy?

Someone high up needs to speak to the people that actually make the business tick over, and not only in AMER, but all GEOs. Find out what’s really happening and stop HR protecting these tyrants.

Hate this leadership and hate how even your own leaders are su-king up to them just to save themselves instead of protecting their team

There has been a noticeable and disappointing shift in leadership culture within the Quality department, moving away from collaborative corporate values and toward an authoritarian, military-style command-and-control structure. A prime example is the expectation for staff to use artificial, forced scripts and mandated pleasantries during casual daily interactions, mimicking a rigid military hierarchy. This level of forced conformity completely invalidates the deep institutional knowledge and dedication of long-tenured employees who have spent years building this company.

Furthermore, the communication style from leadership in this department is deeply unprofessional and counterproductive to a healthy business environment. Meetings are frequently disrupted by leaders bringing aggressive military briefing tactics into the corporate world, cutting people off mid-sentence if they do not receive an immediate, hyper-concise answer. This dismissive behavior shuts down open communication, erodes psychological safety, and shows a blatant lack of respect for the team's expertise. Employees joined a corporation, not the armed forces, and they should not be subjected to this type of combat-zone impatience.

What is most concerning is that upper management has completely failed to address or call out this unacceptable behavior. By allowing these toxic, drill-sergeant leadership tactics to go unchecked within the Quality department, executive leadership is actively damaging employee morale and driving away top talent. This company used to thrive on mutual respect and professional dialogue, but the current lack of oversight and acceptance of rigid, disrespectful behavior makes the workplace culture unsustainable.

LC is speaking at the conference this week. Will he be man enough to address the extreme dysfunction and unhappiness in the IT function? Its absolutely miserable and most people are burned out.

300+‐400 VPCH...not feasible for what coming ahead...please think about us and not your wallet...we are tired, mad sick of it...pile more on us with no help, and definitely no hours given to us....people are scared to speak up i think....please re-think all the stupid labor intensive programs you people are hatching.....produce, meat..kitchen....etc...please...we are tired and exhausted ....so much shrink you people are creating....please stop working us into the ground

How can 7 out of 10 people quit a group because it was impossible to work with their (New) manager and that manager is still employed.

3 doing the work of 10. What obviously followed was tons of issues, project deadlines constantly missed, lots of P1 tickets.
The remaining 3 are desperately looking for a new job.

How can management ignore that he is obviously the problem?

I have been working at this awful place for 5 years. In those 5 years I have been ranked VG
and good. I have constantly tried to move up kiss the bosses areses. Nothing I did helped not even staying late and working extra. I am salary so I dont get OT. I noticed others moving up and getting promoted. They were promoted even though they did nothing great. I found out later they were the relatives of other supervisors. Some were not even related but just friends with the supervisors. I have an engineering degree and one of the family members was promoted to be in charge of maintenance. The family member had no degree and experience. I asked why I was not given the job and was told I had not been at exxon long enough. I have given up trying and just do my job now. I was told my productivity had dropped and I needed to step it up if I wanted to remain competitive. I will probably drop in ranking this year but I don t care anymore. Exxon is a dead end for me and I am going to leave. The bad thing is I did not learn anything beneficial at exxon. I am employed as a technologist and just did stupid monkey lab work. I learned all of exxons stupid forms and useless meetings and trainings. I have found a new job at a smaller company that will employ me as an engineer. I am planning to leave asap. BTW I got a 1.5% raise last year and was told I was lucky to get that much. Baytown is a place that the blind lead the ones can see and do. I have never met a good or talented supervisor at baytown just friends and relatives of others in power. Another friend of mine went through the same thing at emhc but it was not as bad as baytown. He told me the only way to move up up was to leave exxon.

Announcing thousands of layoffs and then dragging it out as long as possible is just disgusting and completely demoralising. They really don't give a damn about anybody.

On a scale of 1–10, how much do you actively hate DXC as your employer?

1 = "I wake up weeping but I still log into MS Teams out of sheer muscle memory."

2 = "Every internal email banner triggers a violent somatic response. I have thrown up twice during global town halls."

3 = "I don’t even care about getting another job anymore. I have transitioned into pure, unadulterated spite. My only career goal is to remain on payroll long enough to watch this company default on its office leases."

4 = "I have accepted that this is purgatory. I no longer look at my bank account or the calendar. Time has lost all meaning."

5 = "I am using DXC paid compute landscape to mine crypto as a side hustle."

6 = "I actively feed wrong information to the project managers just to watch the client panic on the weekly sync."

7 = "I am deliberately missing high-severity SLAs, letting tickets rot in the queue to trigger financial penalties big enough to default the company."

8 = "I am actively injecting ransomware and destructive malware into the core delivery pipeline, ensuring our entire environment is completely unrecoverable by morning."

9 = "I am actively feeding my client counterparts the exact internal audit trails, contractual loop-holes and falsified billing logs they need to legally terminate their contracts with DXC for material breach so that I can burn DXC to the ground from the inside out."

10 = "I am actively dropping production databases and deleting backups during peak hours, purposefully disrupting client infrastructure so this entire entity finally collapses into bankruptcy."

People have stopped holding the handrails. Walking while starting at cellphones. Driving across parking spaces in the parking garage to get to the exit quicker. What is going on?
Leading indicator of lost safety focus?

Looks like a downward trend. How long before leadership is getting culled? Or is miserable results acceptable now?

I'd be willing to bet 90%+ of people severed are thriving and happy...also, based on feedback from peers that stayed with CVX, we dodged a big bullet and got paid to do so.

Let's never forget what Stank has done to the company and culture, driving both down as one of the worst large companies to work for.
