#management

As of this week I have a new manager. Will they be conducting my mid year review or will it be my old manager?

Management talks about wanting talent, but people who stand out often end up managed like they are a threat. Add misleading job descriptions into the mix and it is no surprise people leave frustrated.

So basically, Bridgeport Partners owns CSI, which competes with Fiserv, and now they’re being brought in to run parts of our business — are things really that bad?

Without the financial support of the rest of the organization, the bank would have ceased several years ago. This goes all the way back to General Joe, when the growth of the bank should have resulted in changes that were left ignored, resulting in the start of the consent orders. Then, through total mismanagement, the consent orders still remain after 6 years. Several large banks and insurance companies operate under a legacy IT structure even now, with all the downsides to that model. The bright idea of devolving back to that model here will undoubtedly ki-l the patient

Oh well, two previous managers said the same then happened a reorg, then the next manager said the same, then another reorg, now the new manager says the same. No Focal for a 6 years in a row.

You spend more time managing personalities and approval chains here than actually doing your job. Leadership still operates like it is twenty years ago, with constant micromanaging and politics attached to every tiny decision. Why does every simple task have to turn into exercises in control?

Branch GM Roles, Sales Management Roles and Operations Management roles have begun layoffs this week as Siemens continues to restructure while adopting AI technology initiatives across the US. Management roles will continue reductions through 2027.

The reviews are going to be devastating when the survey comes out immediately after managers are forced to deliver the SLT messages with a smile and keep opinions to themselves. The messenger is going to get the blame and I wonder if this is by design by SLT for justifying another round. My group has at least twice as many chapter leaders as we need if teams are going to become 10-25 people instead of smaller squads. What will happen to them all?

Offer the $7.95 Insurance.. if your manager reprimands you for that state that we offer it, if you get written up call the ethics hotline

Its the right thing to do, sell with integrity!

Anyone negatively impacted by office closures? What is your management saying? Feel like they are preparing for something with all of this unprompted change

Sales is only doing outbound calls with an automated dialer now…. Don’t know where incoming calls are going to…..Just voicemail after voicemail being left to sign up for VHI Lite internet. Are we trying to get a whole team to just quit at one time? Is that how we fix the return to office attitude? Are sales calls now going to the Philippines with horrible customer service? New PIP process will be epic by the end of them month if this is how it’s gonna be from now on. SMH.

I guess I'll find out what's going on tomorrow morning. Color me shocked

If you are smart and you want to build a career, leave T. The managers don't know what they are doing, you aren't allowed to take any initiative, and the only path to success is making your boss and their boss happy regardless of whether you actually do good work. If that's your jam, so be it. But if not, just do yourself a favor and leave.

• Meta to transfer 7,000 staff to AI initiatives, eliminate managers
• Layoffs and transfers affect about 20% of staff, Meta says
• Employee backlash includes petition against mouse-tracking tech, now over 1,000 signatures

Management and supervisors have been given their marching orders. By July 1st they are to determine which employees will become business analysts with a 2% raise, which employees will remain in their current position with a 2-3% pay decrease and up to a 20% reduction in staff overall. Higher earners are expected to be fired first with a compensation package.

The Covid hired managers (not talking about race, just those who can’t keep up and were obnoxious while they had the Covid protections) have been so stressed in the office.

It’s been too long for them to still be stressed from the RTO announcement. Anyone know what management has going on?

Nike only lays people off when changing the organization structure, not when someone is doing a really cr-p job or royally sc--ws up a business.

Why doesn’t Nike fire people more often for poor performance?

How does a risk and compliance manager who has no background in risk or compliance get hired in the 1st place?

Secondly, that very manager had to move from the BL she was hired to support due to complaints and has zero respect from anyone she interacts with because she lacks the very respect necessary to build relationships.

SHE HAS DRIVEN OUT 6 EMPLOYEES IN 2 YEARS!!!! YOU KEEP GIVING HER VICTIMS! How does she continue to be approved to harm another employee!?! When is enough enough? She is a liability to the company you are here to protect!

FIS is making fool of US based employees by providing Cloud Academy or Skill Builder etc.

The management has made clear that all the hiring will be done in India/ Philippines.

US based employees can spend time in learning, but they will never get chance to apply the gained knowledge.

FIS is providing this benefit, in case employees start class action that they were not provided growth opportunities. FIS will provide SkillBuilder / cloud Academy as cover to say that opportunities were provided

This treatment of depression staff has happened under Ryan's watch, and Rajat Taneja is complicit. It was never like this with Al... remember the lockdown tears and family-vibe he instilled? Now a climate of fear.

Question is, is it purely down to Ryan (being a salesman, not CEO material), the shareholders, Rajat... or would this have happened under Al but he saw it coming?

Not sure if morning or during call

I saw a thread that said that the most dangerous person in a toxic workplace isn’t the bully - it’s the leader who watches the bully and calls it a personality conflict.

Back in 2017 - 2020 or so, there was a bully in the Law Dept. She stabbed everyone in the back and the front and told bald faced lies about everyone.
Leadership did nothing about her reign of te---r - in fact they chalked all of her shenanigans up to “personality conflicts” and “misunderstandings” when the evidence - emails, calendar invitations, personal interviews - all clearly showed that she was a liar and actively working to undercut colleagues and direct and indirect reports with her Machiavellian ways.

Sadly Aflac didn’t address the bully - only supported her and drove out many excellent lawyers in a mass exodus once they all realized that their concerns were being swept under the rug, with full cooperation and support from senior legal dept leadership and Hr.

Once they realized the full extent of her decimation - everyone leaving - this person was eventually promoted to a new role in the business to get her out of the Law Dept and then eventually was moved out of the company once a business area with guts had the nerve to address her.

It’s disappointing that the Law Dept couldn’t address a blight upon their department and instead had to have many high performing attorneys leave for other roles before the awful lady was addressed.

I dare say that those in the public should know how the law dept leadership runs - saving their own skins and sacrificing their top performers to save face and not taking responsibility or accountability for how they run things. It’s sad.

We had some kind musical chairs mini-reorg in my area of Aero engineering four weeks ago. It seems like a level of management that was eliminated 5 or so years ago was added back in. Is this happening in other areas? And will they pay for the new layer by cutting heads?

Is this curtains for RS? Will it change anything

Who did Dan fire? He now has 142 directs.

Sounds like management is going to start up dr-g testing everyone again to find out who’s using, since all their sellers EOI’d

1. They hate their wives
2. Work is their identity
3. They hate their families
4. They love to gossip
5. Control

Found this on Twitter, and it looks really appropriate. Those are truly the only reasons I can think of why somebody would be so staunchly against WFH, and it's incredibly sad.

Are going to be treated as voluntary quitting. Resignation, without severance.

New rule effective July 1st.

Management perception is some employees are gaming the severance system. managers are not pushing deadwood out the door fast enough.

Not excited about Zayo. Its really a mismanaged company overall. At least Crown had somewhat of an idea. But Zayo has no clue. We have good people from Fibertech still on board. Zayo just needs to let us take charge. But who knows, knowing Zayo, they will lay us all off.

Offering renewals discounts on an early PO from customers that gets booked in the current FY but not invoiced till it’s actually due next FY is wiping revenue out for the sake of a couple of months.

It’s done so renewals managers get their bonuses whilst flushing money out of the wider company.

Raised it got told to crack on and follow the management line.

No wonder OT is sinking, nothing is joined up, the rats steal the cheese whilst it’s there.

They have zero power and are useless in deciding tasks and project direction.
They simply pass down what the director says.
They can't even hire and fire unless the director says so.
LL4s and LL5s should be eliminated as they're completely useless yes men in my opinion.

Just be honest, do we really need senior advanced scrum masters? Can’t an intern do scrum master roles, hon? Or do we really need non technical senior advanced or advanced managers?

Both the last CEO and the current one are below par. They then swamp the company with poor Execs like Drum, Rusl Jokes and Grey who just re invent different plans used before.

The next layers are full of Brocklehurst who are just yes men who processes and paperwork to stop real progress.

The managers below are just tickboxes for the Brocklehurst level.

All focus remains on cost cutting and wind down which they are good at.

This has been the strategy for the last 10 years.

Until they get someone who has done growth and investment in Employees the company will not change.

I know several employees that have been given date of June 30.
They are doing zero work.
In short FIS Management has given them paid vacation.

The intent was to save money, instead management is doling out free money

with most of the layers doing nothing but making reports celebrating that the chocolate rations have been increased from 2.4% to 2.7% this quarter. Meanwhile back in the garages and CO's it's now BYOTP (toilet paper) time.

Time to clean the rot and remove these parasites now. bp deserves new people (internal and external) to ascend and take bp to a new level. Meg will not have the luxury of time…similar to Woodside there are cracks in the edifice and challenges midterm…cheerleading because trading got a massive gain while the average gains by trading the last 20 years is a paltry 4% ROC

because they dont know whats going on... and not feeling the heat because they are more engaged in retiring than managing.

Begone!

Please let the next round of layoffs happen to all the useless MDs

How did my HGO OD not get impacted. He does not live in the operation. He is out of touch. He states everyone that does not agree with him or do what he says should be fired. Maybe he is should be fired. It is his way or the highway. He does not play well with others. My RM says he needs to go. My SE gets little support from SEM and SSEM. JA, look at the HGO numbers. New leadership is needed in HGO.

Like AI, Crypto, or whatever fad tech is in style to talk about.
