I had my midyear and got a Meets. I do good work, help the team achieve goals and never ask for anything but a little respect and dignity. I am an individual contributor and have ZERO control over a budget or P&L at all. In our 2021 MBOs, our business put an objective for Expenses/Cost Consciousness that basically said "do more with less" "be cognizant of expenses, and the need to reduce expenses, etc" even though I'm an IC and scrape by with a worn out laptop and nothing else. Kind of outrageous. It shows you how little this place supports People and little it values People on any level.
Then in my midyear, I was told I got a Meets on the reducing expenses objective because I haven't asked for any supplies, equipment, accommodations or anything else. I wasn't even allowed to retrieve a desktop monitor from the office during covid. I had to mute the speaker so they didn't hear my sarcastic "you got to be joking" laugh. So heaven forbid if I did need $50 for a headset or a monitor or something, I would have been rated less than Meets. There is no shame in how some of these managers treat us. None.
However, the last bunch (Tolstedt, Stumpf, etc) got to walk away with millions in stock and comp after the sales practices fiasco and they're telling us to p-e-ons to be cognizant of expenses as individual contributors? How insulting and tone deaf the leadership is. We have a CEO who makes $20 plus million, and I'm told I get a Meets because I haven't been requesting supplies or extras to do my job as a P-e-On individual contributor.
Now mind you, my laptop is on its last leg and barely has the processing memory to even run an Excel spreadsheet and a PPT slide open at the same time. Not once in the entire time I have worked here, has any so called "leader" or any of my managers ever asked me "what do you need to succeed" or "is there anything you need to better support you or help you in your job?" Never! They don't give a damn about the People here. All the while many execs walked away with millions and millions after public scandals that resulted BILLIONS in fines paid they come after us, the rank and file, over the most petty of expenses. The gall of these people to come after us that never ask for a thing and still do our jobs well. Heaven forbid you need a new laptop, a headset, a monitor, or anything. The lack of basic respect, dignity and support is unlike anything I have ever seen, anywhere, even in jobs I worked before college.
I hope as many people quit as possible in the coming months, leave, GTFO of here, because this is such a one-way street. I'm working on it myself. Do yourself a favor and leave, it's like an abusive relationship with a partner who doesn't have a morsel of respect for the relationship or anything you bring to it. All you can do is move on.
