#employeesatisfaction

Did your team see the data yet? Mine did. I was expecting much worse, but it looks like people generally approve of their supervisors ("Supervisor Leadership" and "Supervisor Follow-through" scored above 80%) while "Workspace Productivity" and "Work Simplification" were sub-60% or so. Everything else was in-between, with "Employee Satisfaction" scoring in the mid-70% range.

As usual, there were no direct questions about ELT performance and there was no historical trend data provided. (The questions change every year anyway, as do the composition of individual teams.)

What was your takeaway from this? Personally, I think the scores were shockingly high and will be used to deny the case for change. On any given metric, Chevron employees are more happy than not.

I’ve never seen so many coworkers checked out at the same time. After the way this year’s gone, it’s hard to feel supported, valued, or even wanted here. People aren’t talking about growing with the company anymore, all they’re doing these days is comparing job postings.

I love survey time of the month. It’s hilarious that the company asks us each and every month about how we feel about them. Do they take it seriously? Absolutely not. Do they use it to weed out people who come forward to section and claims managers? ABSOLUTELY!!!

But I want to point out how hilarious it is when you answer the questions about why it’s so stressful and why you don’t want to come into the office e more -!it ends with ‘you are least satisfied with Strategy.’ Really?!?! The strategy is to grind us into oblivion. I can’t believe I’m saying this but bring Tippy back. Least Tipsord wasn’t blind to the need for work life balance…kind of. D1 injury in particular is the most likely to make you crash out from mental exhaustion and it’s very clear they don’t give a flying F!

We barely have layoffs anymore. Yes, there are PIPs, but if you're good and a high-performer, you have nothing to be worried about. Frankly, I've never felt safer here than I do right now.

Significant change in culture and employee satisfaction. A few extremely poor leaders out in leadership and department head positions and everyone is job scares, anxious and unhappy. CEO change and the domino effect afterwards was a big part of it. Sad, but at some point the cancer will be identified and removed

Another quarter another canvas for VSB candidates here in the west with no surplus ever being declared.

F you HR people. Just offer ESRO across the board.

So uhhhh…are we not going to talk about this? Results were atrocious. We think anything is going to happen or a lot of hand waving and being told we should appreciate our jobs?

Has anyone else’s 2026 RSU grant been awarded yet? My compensation statement said it would be on May 29th. I’ve not received any emails regarding accepting the grant.

Does it take a few days? Maybe I’m not recalling the timeline correctly.

Wow, stock right now at € 168.80 / $ 181.79.

There is no need for CK and DA to lay off people now. Looks good for all of us.

On a scale of 1–10, how much do you actively hate DXC as your employer?

1 = "I wake up weeping but I still log into MS Teams out of sheer muscle memory."

2 = "Every internal email banner triggers a violent somatic response. I have thrown up twice during global town halls."

3 = "I don’t even care about getting another job anymore. I have transitioned into pure, unadulterated spite. My only career goal is to remain on payroll long enough to watch this company default on its office leases."

4 = "I have accepted that this is purgatory. I no longer look at my bank account or the calendar. Time has lost all meaning."

5 = "I am using DXC paid compute landscape to mine crypto as a side hustle."

6 = "I actively feed wrong information to the project managers just to watch the client panic on the weekly sync."

7 = "I am deliberately missing high-severity SLAs, letting tickets rot in the queue to trigger financial penalties big enough to default the company."

8 = "I am actively injecting ransomware and destructive malware into the core delivery pipeline, ensuring our entire environment is completely unrecoverable by morning."

9 = "I am actively feeding my client counterparts the exact internal audit trails, contractual loop-holes and falsified billing logs they need to legally terminate their contracts with DXC for material breach so that I can burn DXC to the ground from the inside out."

10 = "I am actively dropping production databases and deleting backups during peak hours, purposefully disrupting client infrastructure so this entire entity finally collapses into bankruptcy."

I’m curious to hear honest and objective opinions from others about why so many employees seem unhappy at Truist. What is it about the employee experience that feels so negative? Is the culture at Truist actually worse than other banks, or is this just how banking is everywhere now?

To be fair, Truist did help me gain valuable experience in a field where I wanted to build my career. For that, I’m grateful. But looking back, I honestly feel like it would have been better for my career if I had stayed only 2–3 years and moved on.

From my perspective, long-term growth and advancement opportunities here seem extremely limited. Leadership constantly talks about “upskilling,” “career development,” and “training,” but in practice there are very few promotions or meaningful opportunities to advance, at least in my area.

I’ve been in the same role for years now and feel completely stagnant. I’m no longer learning or growing professionally. At this point, it feels like I just log in, do the work, check the box, and move on with my day.

What’s concerning is that I’ve become so complacent that the idea of being RIF’d almost feels like it would be a positive because it would force me to move on and try something new while collecting severance. I’ve never felt this disengaged in my career before.

What makes it worse is that many people on my team who have been here a long time seem mentally checked out as well. The overall environment feels stagnant and low-energy.

Interested to hear from others, what do you think drives the negative employee experience at Truist? Is this unique to Truist, or just the reality of large banks today?

I thought it was interesting that the latest survey I received did not ask whether I would recommend BNY as a place to work or whether I would consider leaving BNY for another job. I guess management is worried about the answers that would be given to those questions.

Fear of AI is at an all-time high. Not fear of a Skynet-style superintelligent singularity seizing power, generally speaking, but of something perhaps just as horrifying: that life under capitalism continues much as it always has, with one key difference — AI has made human labor obsolete.

A new survey by consulting firm Mercer polled nearly 1,000 executives across the United States. A jaw-dropped 98 percent of them said they have major organization design changes in the works around AI, while 99 percent expect AI will lead to layoffs over the next two years.

The Mercer report, first covered by TechSpot, also found a collapse in worker wellbeing as talk of AI dominates break rooms. In 2024, Mercer worker’s sentiment found 66 percent of employees surveyed said they are “thriving” in the workplace. By 2026, that number had fallen to just 44 percent.

At the same time, the number of workers who report being “unsatisfied” has skyrocketed, with over 20 percent of workers surveyed admitting they’re “unsatisfied but… don’t have a choice at this point and will be staying for the next 12 months​.”

How human resources managers plan to combat this workplace fatigue — symptomatic of a rapidly decaying labor market, not to mention stagnant wages across the board — is equally alarming. In the next two years, 49 percent of HR professionals say incorporating worker sentiments with behavioral data will become “critical” to managing labor on the job. A further 44 and 43 percent said the same of always-on surveillance platforms and AI chatbots, respectively.

To the business owners and corporatists of the world, this is the point of AI: to discipline human labor. That’s the large-scale economic process by which capitalists undermine workers’ bargaining power, through systemic mechanisms like debt, the so-called gig economy, unemployment, deskilling — and, according to some theorists, even the nuclear family.

In the workplace and outside of it, AI boosts these mechanisms, eroding workers’ power to demand change or even hold onto basic concessions like healthcare and pensions — labor rights begrudgingly pried from corporations after decades of workplace struggle.

The technology doesn’t even need to be particularly effective to achieve any of this. Business leaders like Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke are already using AI to squeeze more value from their workers, while venture capitalists use it to pry equity back from theirs. In some cases, managers are even using AI chatbots to decide who to fire.

In all, the picture is pretty grim. The richest men and women in the world have made it abundantly clear why they want AI. The tech may not be living up to their wild expectations quite yet, but they’re still unleashing it without hesitation. The only question is how workers respond now, before that hellish dystopia we all fear becomes our reality.

You may now understand why employees' dissatisfaction at Dell sunk and will keep sinking.

I've been at several companies over the last 20 years, and I've been at 3M for the last ten.

I used to be able to enthusiastically say that 3M was the best place I've ever worked.

I guess that's still true, but not the 3M of today.

This place has gotten bad, and it continues to get worse.

Before I quit two years ago, I remember it taking 15 minutes just to log in every morning. To say the place was a mess would be an understatement. Not to mention, the whole Genpact deal destroyed already low morale. I was so happy to leave it all behind. Have things improved at all since then?

High performer with excellent performance assessments, but I can't do it anymore. Staff cuts have us at bare bones. We do not have the staff to do even an average job anymore, forget about excelling. All we do it jump from one fire to another, a little here and a little there, trying to satisfy everyone and actually not accomplishing anything. Client satisfaction is not even on the radar. Job satisfaction is non-existent. I'm done.

Trying to find any positivity at work has become more draining than the work itself, so I have stopped trying. Now I just cross off another day on the calendar each evening and remind myself how much closer I am to retirement. The people who make decisions here have made it clear that they do not value the people who have been here the longest, and I am done pretending otherwise.

No raises and no promotions for years, so now I do the bare minimum and they get exactly what they pay for.

I'd expect more people running for the door considering the current situation at SAS, but the fact is that the only reason turnover is low right now is that the job market is a disaster. People are not staying because they love it here. They are staying because they have nowhere else to go.

Rule #1 "Walmart employs staff on an "at-will" basis. This means that, legally, both you and the company can terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and without advance notice." So here's the policy for a associates and this should be on the cover of the associate benefits book for all new hires, not page one, not in the back of the book, not in the fine print, but on the Cover. Everything else in that book is void see rule #1. The associate benefits if packed full of rules and policies but since rule was is always in affect, the rest of that book is more of religion Walmart wants followed and regardless if it is or isn't, see rule #1. They can claim rule #1 is only in rare cases, yet when anyone questions the actual reasons for their terminations, see rule #1. Performance above everyone else's and terminated? See rule #1. You spoke your mind because they said be honest and they wanted true feedback and was terminated? See rule #1. Followed procedure and reported harassment or unfair treatment but was terminated? See rule #1. The point is, the whole employment with Walmart is an absolute ridiculous joke.

LinkedIn named Shell the best place to work in Houston! Congratulations Shell!

I wonder how .... just how they could have concluded that!!! Has anyone ever filled out a survey for this? Does anyone know the metrics? Amazing news, but I don't fathom how this can be.

While not totally indicative, Glassdoor rankings of CEOs are used by Elliott and others in assessing how real employees feel about CEOs and their performance. Looking at Glassdoor, here is how Phillips 66 stacks up in the industry regarding approval rating, senior management rating, and the other number is would employees recommend to a friend:

CEO approval rating / Senior Management Rating (out of 5) / Would Recommend Company to a Friend (%)

Phillips: 56% / 2.8 / 63%
Valero: 71% / 3.6 / 80%
Marathon: 77% / 3.5 / 76%
PBF: 50% / 3.0 / 60%
HollyFrontier: 77% / 2.8 / 61%
Enterprise Products: 83% / 3.6 / 75%
Williams: 85% / 3.2 / 66%
Targa: 87% / 3.8 / 75%
LyondellBasell: 60% / 3.2 / 66%
Dow: 67% / 3.4 / 73%

Notice anything? PSX is PBF and HollyFrontier. Let’s stop pretending.

Doesn't seem like you can climb the ladder here in any meaningful way. Your only option is to quit and find somewhere else to work if you want to grow your career. Am I wrong or is it dependent on BU?

With the yearly bul$hit that they can't afford pay raises why don't they give some money to employees via shares. They can do it for Execs across the globe so it shouldn't be an issue.

None of us were ever promised or even hinted at being given any form of loyalty. You were PAID to do a JOB.. Given money in exchange for your time and services, with the expectation of providing a predetermined outcome to the organization.

You can (and SHOULD) be let go of at any time and place that they see fit. If the organization decides that your services are no longer beneficial or in THEIR best interest (not your best interest), then letting you go is the ONLY move they can or should make. Be HAPPY and GRATEFUL that they were so GENEROUS, they went above and beyond the AGREED upon contractual obligations by providing you with EXTRA monetary compensation and even in offering post-employment transitional support.. things that do not benefit them in any capacity. Instead, these things actually create unnecessary costs and responsibilities, per each person that gets let go, just to “help” the same people that end up shiing all over it. They dont owe you anything that you didnt already agree to, stop being so annoying and bihing about being dropped. They calculated that youre role was dead weight, or was costing them more than it was providing. Emotions arent at play here.

Sorry, I had to get this off, some of yall are pathetic. Confidently acting like a teenage ex girlfriend that has abandonment issues and extreme chemical imbalances in the brain. You were never given or told anything to incite a reasonable expectation of loyalty, it has always been their money for your time and services. Be happy they did more than they were required to, and go find somewhere that you can actually provide value with your expertise.. instead of soaking up all the pitty party bath water in an online forum. This is the stuff that employers look for in someone to tell them NOT to hire you.

I used to love working here. Now I hate it, and I can't pinpoint when the shift happened.

Anyone see RV’s latest LinkedIn post and the comment suggesting that what Robin Vince is building at BNY Mellon proves that the most enduring organizations treat their employees’ financial futures as seriously as their clients’?
That’s a strong statement but it doesn’t quite line up with reality.
In 2023, the company shifted its 401(k) match from a per-pay-period contribution to a single annual lump sum, paid the following year. In most cases, employees must still be employed on December 31 to receive it.
That change matters.
One of the core advantages of a 401(k) is compounding consistent contributions invested over time. Delaying the employer match reduces that compounding benefit, and tying it to year-end employment effectively places conditions on compensation that employees have already earned.
Policies like this send a different message than the one being promoted. If organizations want to position themselves as stewards of employees’ financial well-being, the structure and timing of benefits should align with that claim, not work against it.

I sometimes wonder how quickly leadership would rethink their expectations if they actually had to do this work themselves for even a few days.

I work for Q, but I hate working here enough to buy its competitor's flagship.

Gas is creeping dangerously close to $5 a gallon yet we’re still expected to commute into the office three days a week. That disconnect is hard to ignore. Between rising fuel costs, time lost in traffic, the requirement feels increasingly out of step with reality.

What makes it more frustrating is that we talk a lot about “delighting customers” and being “customer-obsessed,” but there seems to be far less focus on the growing stress being placed on employees. It’s hard to sustain that level of care externally when internally, people are feeling stretched, unheard, and impacted by decisions of this AI-obsessed CEO. If the work is getting done just as effectively remotely, it’s fair to question whether this policy still makes sense for both employees and the company.

Can you hear me now Dan?

Yeah, I know you don’t care. Your laughing all the way to the bank.

Many mid-career millennials are dissatisfied with their current jobs. They prefer an external push like a layoff to voluntarily leaving. A survey by online education platform ELVTR found 37% of millennials are unhappy in their roles. Nearly six in 10 hoped for a layoff to exit their job. This trend is called "career dysmorphia" by ELVTR's CEO.

This forum was nothing but a bunch of cry babies complainging about the new CSP and now, it's awfully quiet from them... Guess it isn't so bad afterall huh?

How bad was it for you?

Pay is below market, raises don't exist, and talent gets zero recognition. With all the layoffs, individual contributors are doing management work on top of their own jobs. Meanwhile everything keeps getting offshored. There's literally nothing positive about this place.

This was a genuinely good place not long ago. The last three years have been a steady decline. Culture, pay and benefits, job security, all sliding. Now I've completely lost faith things will ever improve again.

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?
