Recommendations of any kind

Is it true that the bank won't allow for a manager to write a recommendation for a former employee?
In my particular situation, I used the LinkedIn recommendation tool and requested one and that was the response I received.

I tried this because a former coworker of mine mentioned they asked for one and they had no problem in getting one. So I thought, well why not? Even my manager said to me when we said goodbye, that if I needed anything at all please reach out.
What else could they do to help besides give a recommendation etc.?

I almost feel they could if they wanted too they would, but for some reason, albeit a personal reason (though they would never admit) is causing them not too.

It hurts so bad to be told and thrown out of a job from someone you really went out of your way to assist on many occasions and gave praise and encouragement and built a meaningful relationship with business wise.

The fact because you're not able to travel the 3 days a week because you can't afford to get there was the only reason you didn't stay.

Its alarming when they stop speaking to you and delete you off all social media for no reason. Wont respond to you no matter what when attempting contact to see how they are doing.
You feel it's because of that (leaving on good terms, told to stay in contact, so what else could it be)?

I can speak for many I believe that a fully remote no questions asked option when we all came back from covid should have been a reality. This whole location strategy and layoff fiasco could all have been avoided had this happened:

For example **

option A: Full-time remote. There will always be enough people to fill the offices so I don't know why there is/was such heavy handed approach towards that.

Or option B Full office: Everything as usual for whoever wanted to go in.

Those are the only options that should have been presented after coming back. The choice should have been simple and permanent, everyone would have been happy and life could have continued on as intended. I'd still be working there, if they weren't so strict on wfh.


Tell Dell - No, it is NOT anonymous

  1. Do you agree that the information contained in the database associates your name with your survey responses? If so, then by definition it is NOT anonymous.

  2. Do you agree that the unique link helps ensure that people don't take the survey twice? But in so doing, do you also agree that the unique link is also stored in the database, which associates your name with your survey responses? If so, then by definition it is NOT anonymous.

  3. Do you agree that Dell could retrieve your information if they ever needed to for things like legal discovery, etc? For example, if someone said something really stupid like made a threat or something, which has happened before. If so, then by definition it is NOT anonymous.

  4. Do you trust Dell HR and/or Dell leadership?

True anonymity severs any PII between the user, user ID, employee number, etc., from existence. It never creates it in the first place - i.e., no logs, no db entry, no links, no memory, nada. That's not the case here by virtue of the way it is created, distributed, and stored.

As to whether the 3rd party who manages the survey would give up that information, that's an entirely different discussion altogether.

But it is NOT anonymous by definition, End of Story.


This site use to be pretty useful…..

But am blown away at the number of id--ts, racists and trolls that are posting and commenting.

It use to be 80% informative and 20% id--ts, racists and trolls. Those numbers have flipped since lads summer.

Maybe it’s just the TMO page? Maybe people not even associated with TMO are posting/ commenting ?


convo with manager

im sorry for the vague post. i dont have a lot of info and im wondering if anyone has heard anything similar.

i have a great relationship with my manager. they told me in our last meeting that they were told to brace for a disruptive announcement. i didnt think much of it but now i cant get it off my mind. thats all i know and i cant say where i am in sap or i risk me and my manager.

i dont want to start drama. i am just wondering if anyone heard anything similar and can help me understand whats happening. i am afraid to ask at the office.


Don’t hesitate to lawyer up!

Here’s a piece of advice for those still at Verizon: don’t hesitate to consult with an employment lawyer promptly when your management does something illegal. It’s been my experience that they get away with things because employees tend to let things slide. For example, you only have 180 days to file an age discrimination complaint. There have been many instances of management choosing an inexperienced “leadership development” candidate over a much more capable and experienced employee. Document as much as you can discreetly then consult with a lawyer. At the same time start applying elsewhere.

Making them face the consequences for their illegal behavior is the only way to put an end to it.


"Get out, the call is coming from inside the house!!!"

"The call is coming from inside the house" is a famous horror movie trope and urban legend, most notably from the 1979 film When a Stranger Calls. It refers to a terrifying scenario where a person, receives threatening phone calls, only to discover the stalker is already inside with them. Reminds me of Citi...


New Avaya story

Hi all, I ran a second story on the lawsuit and arbitration process. Information is still very scant, but a source at Avaya alleges that it discovered a C1 document called “The Great Migration.”

If you have any insights, email me at janderson@industrydive.com

Why the heck does ASC still have problems almost 2 years later

Ok, what is going on? It still pulls in suspended DL licenses on random people that have verified active licenses, changes coverages randomly at binding, price randomly changes when quote is opened the next day and other glitches.

Support continues to just say "working as intended" "nothing we can do".

Who in the world creates software that cant be be overridden by an admin? For instance if a DL is obviously not suspended because it's active on the DMV website.

Here I am again... Stuck waiting on chat for 30 minutes. I'll probably be told again that "theres nothing they can do..."


Our teams leads are being told to use AI for our appraisals. I’m not comfortable with them giving my information away with you my permission.

@b2+1kjbbze82 Makes a great point. These creeps are putting our pictures in Gemini, putting in our personal and work information and god knows what else. This needs to stop!!


Seems things got messy in Col

Just FYI, heard a customer service rep there sent a mass email to upper management accusing two managers of abusing their power - from being disrespectful in meetings to falsely accusing and writing them up to protect themselves.
It seems the rep asked to be transferred out of fear of retaliation, but nothing happened, so they escalated it and said they’ll keep emailing until someone responds.

(no names, please, mods could nuke the whole thread)


Fake work and AI

The positive side with Ai. Now I can pretend work with useless Ai trainings. I am working with fake POC with Ai. Ask ai for some dummy implementation and call it as my poc.
I can watch Netflix whole day and still get good performance review, because everything now must have Ai, regardless if is useful or not.


The overlords do read this so post away and keep the in fear and guessing.

I have overheard the supervisors and managers talking about the posts and disgruntled employees posting on this site. It truly scares them and they don't want the new hires knowing about all the dysfunction and toxicity. Some covered up safety violations and firings have been exposed and posted. I loved in a town hall the then CEO of exxon mentioned that employees were posting they were year to year contractors and that this was eroding morale. Some exxon sites operate on intimidation and fear tactics. I attended a meeting where my stupidvisor threatened everyone with insubordination and retaliation for complaining. The stupidvisor said I don t want to have to fire anyone as they had the power to do it. They took pleasure in firing several contractors in the section. It talked so bad about the terminated employees and said they just were not excon material. One employee was fired to cover up the mistake of an employee friend of the supervisor. The supervisor would go out to lunch with this protected employee. There are some real evil snakes in exxon management. Several of the safety incidents should have been reported to OSHA but the employees are to scared and intimidated to do so.

M-rating

I received an M rating, and people are telling me it’s bad? . I’m the smartest person on my team and my “boss” is an unqualified Saudi woman. I’ve emailed her boss and told him as much, but I don’t know if that will help? To those of you considering coming here, be mindful they prioritize their own despite how much value you may add.
