Amon talking about instant gratification

in the AHM he talked about the stock price and talked about how QC won't ever get you instant gratification. What the f is he talking about? It's been 5 years and the stock hasn't moved. Sure, it's oscillated up and down, but if we don't have ESPP or RSUs to sell it's useless.

I am going to start emailing the board to point them to all the anonymous threads showing the employees hate this leadership.


I have PTSD from working at exxon.

I recently left exxon after several years of anguish. The last couple of years were unbearable for me. I was on mental health leave for the last 6 months and finally resigned. I cannot get over the persecution and harassment I recieved at exxon. I feel that every where I work from now on will be as bad as exxon. I have not looked for work because of this fear. I have many skills and could land a job easily but my fear keeps me from applying. It has only been about 5 months since I have left and I still have nightmares and bad thoughts about my time at exxon. My therapist says it will take time to heal and forget about the trauma. I recently had lunch with some old co workers and of course they brought up the supervisors and managers which tormented me. I fell into a deep depression because I was reminded of the past. It has gotten better but I still have days where I fixate on the horrific experience. I was advised to find a new job to occupy my mind and this could help my recovery. For those of you who think I am exaggerating I was the victim of s-xual harassment and verbal abuse by a male boss. HR investigated and of course found no hard evidence or wrong doing. It was my word against his and he won. The witness who saw the harassment did not collaborate my story as she feared for her job. This monster is still employed by exxon and probably will retire with a nice pension while I have to find a new career. All of the male supervisors and managers at exxon are perverts. They all want to talk to the young pretty girls and sit on the desks. Pay attention next time a pretty woman enters the room see all the males flock to her like flies to honey. Some female employees use this to their advantage but I chose not to. As one poster said "there is something seriously wrong at exxon".


Did I Strike a Nerve

I had comment deleted from the Bartlesville layoff thread. In my posted I discussed how I thought Go-Go and Tractor Man likely feel about layoffs.
I guess I struck a nerve with someone because it’s been deleted.
It was up for ~24 hours before being deleted so quite a few people got to see it.


Ethics and Compliance

Interesting that the entire Dell Ethics and Compliance page has been disabled. Also, the page for reporting ethics violations about people to a third party (“anonymously”) goes to a 404 Error page. I guess ethics don’t matter any more at Dell. No way to report ethics violations. Gotta protect those leaders!


Prioritize your family everybody

I read a comment saying someone was told by Fidelity that they were approved to move to take care of their ailing mother, and then Fidelity said “sike”. To the person in that predicament, I’m sorry Fidelity did this to you.

I read a rumor that Fidelity employees may only need to come to the office once a week once again instead. I say RUMOR because I’m unsure how truthful that is.

Regardless of the situation, whoever’s reading this, please don’t forget to spend time with your loved ones. Most of us come here to vent. And that’s ok. Just don’t forget to be around people who make your life meaningful.

That’s all. Have a good weekend. If you’re on the east coast, safe during the incoming snow.


Stay quiet if you know what's good for you

Pointing out issues or problems is a surefire way to get marked as a troublemaker. The response of those above you - in my experience but others as well - is never to address the issue, but to punish the messenger. Needless to say, HR is not your friend in this process, so you end up being sc--wed over for trying to fix things. Just don't bother.


Neutral Reference Policy and Recruiters

These damn recruiters keep insisting on manager references and I keep telling them they won't provide a reference.

How have folks circumvented this? I'm in a catch-22 where I can't give them a reference, yet they keep insisting it's necessary, no matter how many times I tell them to go to theworknumber.com.

I've had to dig out references from years back from people who no longer work at WF, but that's slim pickings.


Zero trust

Pretty bad when a company doesn’t trust its own employees, managers, senior directors that everything is monitored—-in excel lol

Yes, excel spreadsheets! lol sometimes even MS Forms.

Let’s suffocate the employees and ridicule their every move then wonder why the business is failing. People who micro manager have no business as managers, more so, no business as a director, senior director, especially the VP positions. All this goes to deaf ears. Let’s make another “anonymous” employee survey.


Check out the National Labor Relations Act

Ex-Schwabbie here. If you are dissatisfied with work conditions, pay, treatment from leadership I would highly encourage you to check out the NLRA. It gives private sector non-supervisory employees the right to discuss such issues on social media, teams, a huddle, or even a screen saver. These are rights guaranteed regardless if you are part of a union or not. Check out the definitions of concerted activity. You have the right to bring up these questions and concerns to your leaders. If they retaliate then you have yourself a very strong legal case. Retaliation includes your work (phone calls) being more scrutinized than that of your peers. There is a reason Schwab doesn't train you on the NLRA.


IM & NI rating and regulators

It sounds like A LOT of IM & NI are being given out this year and from what I'm hearing, not for any real reason. But how is this going to look to the regulators, when the majority of team members have sh---y ratings? Maybe it's not an issue? I'm genuinely curious. If I was a regulator looking at risk or compliance and half the team has sh---y ratings, you'd think that make the "firm" look bad? Maybe not, just curious.


SPTO in quarterly increments?

In my time with the company, the SPTO bid has always been around November. We could request our scheduled time off for the whole 12 months of the upcoming New Year. We work in a site that is closing. They are only allowing us to schedule in quarterly increments. So far we've only been able to schedule through the end of March. Is this an indication the site we work in is closing this year in 2026? We are sorry to ask here, but nobody talks about it at work.


RemainCo Town Hall

Here is what I heard from today`s Town Hall:

  • EBIDTA is at a great level (90% of the employees doesn`t care, or have no idea what that is.)
  • We should be very happy for the shareholders, as they will receive a min. 10$ divident / share.
  • How nice that the colour of the 2 logos are matching.
    No mention of the employees, when will they advise on leadership, new responsibilities, or just acknowledging the frustration we have. At least they should say they are working on it and will be shared soon, or giving some justification for the hold up.

Check your 401k

Edward Jones made a change at year end to investment choices in the 401k.

While Suzan and her s$@t HR function did the bare minimum to communicate these changes through the 401k provider (Empower), it was buried under annual disclosures and most of home office and the field were caught completely unaware that the company made new investment choices on their behalf (Really great precedent for a company managing CLIENT investments, right!?).

Not sure I am surprised at all given the character of this company and its leaders, but just a friendly reminder to be sure to check on your 401k.


Employees say Hayden Beverage layoffs begin, last day set for Feb. 8

Layoffs are underway at Hayden Beverage, a beverage distributor with locations across Idaho and Montana, according to employees who spoke anonymously. One worker said they received a one-month severance package and were told their last day would be Feb. 8. Employees described the news as unexpected, noting the company had generally treated them well. Another employee said the layoffs come after Hayden Beverage was acquired by Summit Beverage, a purchase later confirmed by a company official.
