Upper middle management. Not saying anything else for the sake of not ousting myself.

If you’re sharing real info, include specifics. Team, Department, Band, Title. Ideally two of those data points. Otherwise we’ll assume it’s false.

Time to ignore this site again ?

I spent close to two decades at Nielsen before my "demise." The one thing I could say for Nielsen during all those years was the company was NOT going to go under! Lol. So many companies out there hang on by a string - and that's some real stress for employees. I've been involved in the ad measurement game since the early 90s (even while in college). The demise of Nielsen has been predicted for years but never really happens. This article is prob the best I've read out there explaining why. Well worth the half hour read if you're still in the biz or just an outside over the hill observer like myself. Enjoy https://new.adotat.com/p/the-nielsen-bonfire-who-s-holding-the-match

Long story short: After a long time of searching I finally found the right therapist for me, and was reassured that RTO couldn't interfere with my appointments. Well sure enough, my manager allows me to leave the office for my appointments, but the real issue is having to commute basically 4 times just to continue seeing my therapist. I literally cannot afford it. Thank you Bill.

Monthly reminder that it’s been 6 months since you stated the org changes will be announced “in the coming weeks”. You expect us to do our jobs in a timely manner yet here you are completely hidden and didn’t do jack sh-t. We don’t respect you, you’re only protected by your title. That is all.

How many of yall actually answer truthfully? Do they really know who submits each survey?

came into the office today to find my microsoft account has been disabled… said it should be back in 30 minutes…. 4 hours ago

anyone speed read overnight???

I retired from exxon making 220k at 55. I could not stand it anymore. I said I would never work for this dysfunctional s heet show again. Well they offered me a contractor position through an agency. My pay was only half at 120k per year. They told me I would not have to deal with all the BS forms, moc, procurement, and training cr-p. I got put under a young female supervisor and she immediately started lecturing me about performance and expectations. I was simply there to help with engineering designs and reviews. This supervisor knew nothing of engineering and only knew exxon bruacracy. I was asked to perform some saftey tasks and lab inspections. I told my overlord it was not part of my duties and I was to do engineering work. She told me I was being insubordinate and she would delegate my tasks. It was all downhill from there. Since I was familiar with gmocs I was instructed to initiate several because the new engineers did know how to complete them. The supervisor was getting very angry at me complaining that I was taking too long on tasks. I quit 3 months into my failed return to exxon. The supervisor was pi---d and told me that I would never work at exxon again and I was on the black list for hiring. I told her to stick the job up her ar-e and I never wanted to work at exxon in my life. The contract company was pi---d as well and told me I could not work for them again. I do not want to work anymore. My treatment was the worst by this individual. I wanted to punch the s heet out of her. The power went to her head and she treated me like a child. I knew it was a mistake but I was bored and thought I could do work that I liked. This is just my story and hope it helps others not make the same mistake. I might just volunteer some where to stay busy.

Shout out to the anonymous posters who give us warnings on internal decisions made by our management teams. I know that there are some trolls who try to dilute the quality posts, but when I identify the well meaning posts, I take them to heart and apply them at work, which has helped me avoid pitfalls. I hope I can do the same if I learn anything key that can help you, my fellow Wells Fargo anons!

Straight up they are blocking posts. Idgaf I will keep trying to post something to let people see the truth. HERTZ IS FU--ING DONE DUDE. Full on damage control. Insane.

This regards the very much worries have I about my manager’s manager. My address and phone number the manager has access to. But he must be called out. Never will change. He must go. I do not have the trust for human resources. They will certainty side with him. Please advise.

anyone have a workable behind the paywall link?

appress to address his JPM departure

So, I exposed all the management issues in Oracle on my employee survey and was laid off! I know for a fact that it would never happen if I did not do this. But Oracle's management issues needed to be documented, and I've decided not to take this to attorneys as I need to let it go and move on with my career. What I witnessed was harassment, no support for disability issues for my husband and lack of payment for bonuses and career progression/promotion that I was 3x told I was in process for. Oracle's lack of managing talent, promotion and discrimination is intolerable. I will move on to my next role, but I will never go back to Oracle given this experience in my career.

No Dan, we do not believe.

Sad.

I posted an honest review of this place six months ago. Detailed, factual, not emotional, no swearing, no insults, nothing. It lasted I think four days, if not less. I don't know how they do it, but Xerox management is definitely requesting some reviews be taken down.

Any thoughts on this? Can the anonymity be trusted or should I wear three layers of VPN to fill it out?

Just like the other poster who reported a coffee badging colleague, I think it’s all our duty to do this. Coffee badging is a business code of conduct violation, as evidenced by the recent Code of Conduct training and the article about being deceptive about working time and location using a mouse jiggler. You can anonymously report the coffee badging activity using the Speak Up or ethics hotline I believe. I haven’t done this since I haven’t seen anyone do it myself in person, but I think that guy who reported his colleague, didn’t do anything wrong. In fact, it is in line with the TIAA code of conduct to report an ethics violation. If HR does anything about it, that’s up to them. But technically it is our duty as employees to report this type of behavior.

Be sure to use your Co-Pilot (or other AI tools) at least a few times a day. This is being monitored, measured, and reported directly to your manager. This could be another way to decide who stays and who goes. Source: one of my friends who works on UHC side… their manager actually showed them this report.

Rumors suggest Microsoft Gaming plans a large workforce reduction. An anonymous post on Blind claimed 15% of gaming staff could be cut. The post indicated a potential announcement date of May 6 or June 5. This speculation follows a company-wide hiring freeze and leadership changes. New CEO Asha Sharma recently took over, succeeding Phil Spencer.

Is the blue pulse truly anonymous?
Lets say they get all 0’s for most ratings, do they listen more to that feedback or off with her head?

I thought we had great working relationships with some brilliant ex-colleagues, but I’ve been cut off after they left the company. It hurts more than I’d like to admit, and it’s happening more often. I genuinely value those people and would really like to work with them again. Why does it happen? I want to keep the relationship but they don’t.

Looking at the number of likes there is a high visit rates

From Preauth... what are you all hearing? We are being ignored and we have no clue whats coming. Give us a heads up please. 13 years..

In my opinion, VoA is a circus. If BD really wanted honest feedback, this platform has more than what needed for diagnosis of the issues. Do you expect anything to change with that survey or is it just to warm some “leader’s” pocket?

When there are posts of people claiming to be let go, their friend was let go, they know of a team that was let go etc, but they can’t answer when people ask WHERE or WHO even though this is anonymous, it leads me to believe these people are lying. They’re just trying to cause excitement and anxiety and stress.

AC not working in Burlington everyone is complaining, its so miserable. We're all jammed into these smaller rooms I'm sure all the body heat is not helping. How about let us leave an hr early instead of having this 1 hr social hr!!! The A side is working of course because no one is working over there.

The bird is the word.

This is the [unofficial] chat for today’s COO Town Hall. Post your questions, comments and concerns here since we can’t truly be honest in MS Teams without fear of being monitored, fired, retaliated against.

Curious if anyone’s been getting logged out daily. Thinking it has something to do with tracking for RTO

there was some kind of huddle meeting with each pod. d-mb a-s manager used an analogy of fast food drive thru employee. lol

Is this how they view us? fast food drive thru employee? what a d-mb bi--h.

yea... I mean employee who has all customers information from their ssn, dob, cc #'s, chk # information and ready to be sold off.

would you like bbq sauce and upgrade it xl size?

what a fu-ken clown leadership is.

Anyone know if answering the pulse survey in a less than positive way result in being marked for termination? Kind of feels like a way to identify workers who aren’t “aligned” …

How is this possible? We need to speak our truth!!

Here’s what Glassdoor has for USB:
U.S. Bank Snapshot
3.3 overall rating (out of 5)
based on 11,947 ratings
49% would recommend to a friend
29% approve of the CEO (I agree with this one)

Go in and let your voice be heard. I just changed my rating and gave my review based on the latest mess with RTO.

The nightmare that is Google!

Looks like Tara is out unceremoniously. No ‘pursuing other opportunities’ or other corporate speak just ‘bye Felicia’.

Who’s got the inside scoop?

Heads up, everyone.
Dell has switched to a new survey vendor this year and there are serious concerns you should know about before you participate.

First, the survey is not truly anonymous. This vendor has the ability to access individual responses and trace them back.
Second, they can manipulate the overall results to make company sentiment look better than it actually is. So your honesty could put you at risk, and still not even count.

If you were planning to give critical, candid feedback; the safest thing you can do this year is sit this one out.

A few things to keep in mind:
— Participation is voluntary. No one can force you.
— If your manager pressures you or coaches your answers, document it.
— Ask HR who the vendor is and what their data privacy policy says. Vague answers are a red flag.
— Spread the word to colleagues who may not know.
Real feedback deserves real protection. This year’s survey may not offer that.

Stay informed. Share this around.

The glint survey is out. Time to fry management. Not that they want the truth so why bother with a survey!
