ECIO EMG has no plan for employee morale

If you read the content of our leader's post yesterday about morale there are no specific actions given, just that "leaders are looking into it and will share what they're doing soon. " What this means is she will tell her leaders in the next leader meeting that they're empowered to address employee concerns shared in Pulse and she expects them to take action (or else).

The problem is, employee concerns are primarily around RTO and loss of trust in executive leadership, promotion cycles, forced-ranking performance reviews, compensation, etc. - all of which non-EMG leaders have absolutely zero power to address.

This is now the standard playbook for employee pulse concerns when our leader doesn't want to own the fact that they don't plan to address them - deflect onto people leaders who can't address the issues caused by EMG and then whenever they are questioned about it the response is "talk to your leader".

The Pulse Survey was written by id--ts and used by id--ts who think that asking just three questions will actually show what people are really thinking. Any survey that doesn’t even show the responses unless a certain % answer the questions is a complete failure from the start.

There were too many words in the HR post. I'd like to be a fly on the wall in the meetings where they write them.
"Erm what drivel can we shove at these brain dead peons to settle them down."
"I know, madam! (Something something word salad psychobabble)"
"Excellent! And gas lighting too. Oh good. Here's Nigel with the brie."

Saw that Tamla slack post. Lots of words, very low on actual substance. As soon I saw the "talk to your people leader" as an answer for stuff on salary, raises, RTO, etc., I knew it was all bunk. It's basically upper management smearing and throwing mud all over you, then telling your manager to clean that up, instead of them not throwing the mud.

Our "leader" is a joke. Please go back to Regions and take JonBenét with you!

I went to Ethics instead of Employee Relations specifically because I knew I couldn’t trust them to be fair. I thought because Ethics isn’t a part of HR they would be fair. What did Ethics do? Gave my whole complaint, my name and all my details, everything to Employee Relations. No wonder USAA hasn’t been on the list of World’s Most Ethical Companies for years and years. This is the most corrupt company I have ever worked for. Every process is designed to insulate EMG.

Correct. Point the finger at someone else to "address" the problem until employees get used to it, shut up, or become such a nuisance that their manager fires them.

Make no mistake, "Talk to your leader" directly translates to "I don't particularly care about your concern, but HR won't let me say that, so I'm going to pass the buck to someone who can't do anything about it."
