Should I be worried

We are a team of six engineers. Last year, I got a great project I successfully delivered. This year, all but me were given projects and I feel like I am just slacking, doing the miscellaneous stuff. Nothing significant on my plate. Am I being pushed out?


How does Cisco lay off Red Badge?

As Red Badger, got an email to Cisco All Hands from contract firm for next week, there are hundreds of people, clearly it was sent to everyone ( as I can see anyone I know is already there), for Red Badge, do they send you an email on the day of termination or you will be laid off next week via contract firm? 

What is the PIL package?

Only my second year to go through this process. I know what it stands for, but can’t seem to find anything on the intrawebs. Is it 3 months and you just up and leave that day? I thought I read here you may have to work during it? Sorry for the amateur question.


How would you describe exxon if it was a relationship, family or civilization?

The title says it all and we know the truth. This mess of a company can be best described by toxic, dysfunctional, hostile, depressing to be around and bad for ones health. If it was a family it would be a toxic, dysfunctional one with violence and hostility. as a relationship it would also be toxic and dysfunctional headed for divorce or separation. a civilization based on exxon would be doomed and fighting within itself. The exxon civilization would collapse upon itself as a corrupt empire. Only the ones who have suffered at exxon know the horrors of working at this toxic, vile , disgusting monster of a company.


Lincoln Financial

Does anyone have experience with submitting a leave of absence? I’m getting the approval, pay, and job protection through the state but Centene still requires me to submit the leave request through Lincoln Financial, which includes signing an authorization form that allows the release of all my my medical records, credit reports, personnel records, tax records, and more. They then include a statement noting that my information is not subject to state and federal privacy laws.

Is this normal and legal?? Like I said, I’m not even using Centene’s short-term disability, I just need official leave on record so o can’t get fired for not giving proper notice.


What exactly did ODW do?

I'm genuinely curious because my org doesn't really use "tools" that were affected by ODW. At most, it was a cr-ppy replacement to workday at best but, other than that it's business as usual.

I'm so confused as to what it actually did I guess?

Other than putting all these tools into an oracle cloud based platform, wtf changed for you?


Anyone else's stress levels at an all time high?

I don't know if it's just me or my department. Morale is low and stress levels are maxed out. More and more duties added to an already busy day. Customers relentlessly wanting everything for free, rude, and entitled. Constant fear of being fired even if you make all of your metrics and bonus every quarter. I have worked for Wayfair for 5 years and have not one time have I ever not bonused. Trying to wrap my head around if you fall below one metric for one month you still get a ROD, but I digress.
My mental health wishes AI would just do the damn thing- or a morning layoff email.
Is the stress level climbing in all departments? I know frontline and MC has been getting beat up for months, sadly. How is everyone else holding up?
