Thread regarding Capital One layoffs

@9zrf+1o5qYfcI not only that, just heard that some of the VP and MVPs have left too, including the drunk+bankrupt lady in tech.
Moved to jpmc as usual at that level.

Curious to know who else in tech have been fired or left at the Sr Dir and above level

8yuu+1o5qYfcI thank you!
So, there might still be hope for C1 tech in the future months years - on the condition the Sr directors laid off were from the Richmond mafia. Otherwise, it's back to square one.

@6hul+1o5qYfcI

I'm in tech in the past 8 months, 3 senior directors I worked with were let go including the Sr Director over my team who was useless. In the last few weeks I spoke with other tech teams and they told me that they have Sr Directors who were impacted by mid year stack rankings and getting fired. :-)

@5jmb+1o5qYfcI I find hard to believe a Sr Director was let go. Not distrusting you, just in disbelief.

The Sr Director layer and above is the one with the most politics. They have been in the company 15+ years, low / non technical smooth brained ones who moved to that layer through politics and sc*ewing people over.

So he/she/it might have been truly beyond incompetent or maybe, just maybe, one of the good ones who couldn't take it any more.

Care you share more? Just stick to initials.

You can bet the promoted director had a little something to do with the boss losing their job. That is how it goes here. Everybody is out for number one and most are so hungry to be 'important' they will steal work, backstab, spend most of their time trying to get in front of anybody who might help further their career vs doing some real work. I gave up on any sort of teamwork long, long ago. Just pathetic.

A Senior Director in tech was terminated in June and the Director below him was promoted to a Sr. Director. This latter id--t then posted on LinkedIn about his promotion without the irony that his boss was fired and he can be fired at anytime too.

I watched the culture completely change the 21 years I was there. I decided to leave and it was absolutely the best decision ever. I’m ashamed how bought into it I was for so long, and how long I drank the kool-aid. I was embarrassed to say I worked for them by the time I left.

Do they still send out those All Associate Surveys?? I would love to know how engaged associate are how much they trust their leadership. What a joke!!!!!

And yet there’s still the kool aid drinking psychopaths that still post on LinkedIn that it’s the best, most ethical company they’ve ever worked for. They all tend to be MVP’s and lawyers.

It is not that your contributions are meaningless, it is that only a select few are rewarded for them and it is usually not the person who is responsible for the great work. FACT.

Capital One is changing for the worse. In the past 5 years of working there, I've never seen it as bad as this year. Most of my colleagues are already finding other opportunities. Why deal with such a hostile work place where your contributions are meaningless?

That's actually illegal. You have a wrongful termination case, especially with the disability leave which is a federally protected right.

same sad story non-stop

Let's all just quit and let them have it back.
