Ok so a hiring freeze and no OT unless approved by Gail? What’s really going on here? This place is a sh*t show. Trying to leave but it’s not easy in today’s world.

@braz+1sMHh64t Publicly-traded companies always keep postings active to keep Wall Street analysts from raising concerns. Posting doesn't mean a full hire - they can even interview candidates and then oops, we just had a hiring freeze.
Applying for jobs in this company is a complete sh*t show…exempt or otherwise.
Go do a search. 60% of the jobs are in India or the Philippines. The other 40% that is onshore…maybe 10% or so are actually in the state that you reside in and then 5% are actually jobs you actually qualify for. The other 5% are either so far above your skill set you don’t have a snowball’s chance in he-l of getting it or the pay is so low it doesn’t even come close to a living wage. You could actually go to Target and make more money.
At this point I’m just accepting my RIF and moving on. Despite them beating you over the head with “Do the right thing” training, this company will never in fact ever do the right thing.
It is confusing because I see recently added job postings online.
You get your OT in your salary. Paid a lot more, where if you don’t work OT you still can count on the money. You are paid OT, it’s already baked into you salary.
IT/Automation has been taking jobs for years, now AI will be eating IT jobs. Good Luck.
You all speak of OT . In IT we crank out massive hours. We are exempt we don't get paid OT. They would go bankrupt if they had to pay IT overtime.. they have it all figured out.. we work evenings holidays weekends, we get called into SWOT calls.. At least you got paid. Sorry they cut it. But know we're still working in the background keeping the systems running. BTW I'm here on shore I'm sure my time is coming.. blessings to all.
Commercial Claims had their July OT completely cut. They are in no position to not receive OT and it will impact claims in a big way.
There’s one dept that is seriously walking the time lines without OT, they just won’t approve it…. Now I know why
It’s a hiring semi freeze. Positions are being approved on a case by case basis. By Gail herself. Ok what kind of fortune 50 has their CEO personally approving each FTE? What the h^ll??she doesn’t have anything else to do?? And yes RIFs are still happening…. She must need ready revenue for something..because this is not normal behavior for a company on solid financial feet..Gail and co. have gutted staffing to the point it’s nearly impossible to get anything accomplished and frankly if I hear we don’t have funding one more time I’m gonna flip. Critical infrastructure needs fixing and there’s no money??? Everyone is walking on eggshells waiting for the axe to fall on them or the company to implode.
New leaders, new contracts. These contracts start at a specified stock price. For the exec to make money, stocks need to rise. Quickest way is to cut. Cutting gives you board cred and pocket change, which is why it’s pretty much standard when leadership changes.
I know departments doing OT and hiring. Different rules for different folks.
Groups either being actively RIF’d or a RIF soon are under a “freeze”, some critical roles can still be hired.
I don’t think there is a hiring freeze as I was just hired with a mid June start date
