These execs DO NOT care about you. They speak nicely and then will sc--w you.

Are you all seeing the managers that survived the riff are acting insane. These guys who managed to survive are going to act like mad men now to try and justify themself s. Be prepared to be written up for nonsense and made an example of in your groups. This is after every layoff the insecure managers act stupid🍆🍈🍉🍊

Is there a way to report such cases to anyone without any serious consequences???

It's frustrating how managers are blatantly using these tactics.

I am in a similar situation where this new person who have no access to system whatsoever, is suddenly been asked to "take the lead"

Stubborn, zero business acumen, dishonest , intolerably arrogant

Yes it is is difficult to stand the above qualities, and even harder when they add no value to the bottom line, do easy work stuck in a corner in their lab ir on their big screen monitors.

And yes research helps us have talking points for investors but largely it is a waste of money. Nothing to show for, failed projects don’t help build any i ternal confidence either.

The most toxic individuals I have worked with in exxon have been part of the research company, specifically Upstream Research Company. They’ve spent billions knowlingly on failed projects. It is even true today, an internal audit must be done on the valuation claims of all Upstream projects, they are inflated numbers.

You’re not going insane — you just spent years in a system that promotes the ones who break people, not the ones who build teams. Time to rate the “survivors.”

Toxic Manager Rating Scale — pick all that apply:

1. Credit Thief – Devoured your work, slapped their name on it, and got praised for “thought leadership.”
2. Ghost Boss – Vanished when real leadership was needed, magically appeared when there was credit to grab or heads to roll.
3. Micromanager Supreme – Controlled every detail of your day, yet somehow had no clue what your job actually was.
4. Backstabber Pro – “You’re doing great” to your face, “they’re not a team player” the second you leave the call.
5. Blame Shifter – Their mistake, your “development opportunity.” Somehow you were always the common denominator.
6. Teflon Titan – Nothing ever sticks. Reorg after reorg, layoff after layoff, and they’re still there, failing upward.
7. Mood Roulette – You never knew if you were getting fake-friendly or full meltdown. Outlook calendar by day, unstable by nature.
8. Gaslighter-in-Chief – Made you question your memory, your performance, and eventually your sanity.
9. Loyalty Leech – Demanded 110% loyalty and availability, but ghosted you the second you needed support.
10. Corporate Chameleon – Perfectly adapted to a toxic culture. Thrives in politics, allergic to accountability or empathy.

Add up your score and drop it below.
The higher the number, the more you earned your severance, your sanity, and your exit.

So we have someone new joining our team and ever since they joined they have been on my a$$ to know how I do what I do.

While I understand the enthusiasm, I feel my manager is purposely bringing such individuals in the team (the latest being the second person) who seem to be "teachers pets", more noise for less work kind of person.
And I can tell they're someone who just wants to "have their signature" in everything that happens around.

PS: These new members are in same region as my snake of a manager.

Should I be worried???

Horrible the way those making the most
Money are targeted with bad performance reviews without discussion until time reviews are shared. If your not supported during the review discussion your targeted as the one who is put on a Coaching or Performance Plan that you are unable to be successful to achieve. There are soo many unhappy people who work there an stay because they need a job. Very sneaky and arbitrary!

So Christmas is over, how many people woke up this morning to the uncertainty of 2026 at Xerox.

Spineless leadership in the CEO, the UK led by a CMO who only thinks about himself, his family, friends and sycophants.

What kind of place is this ??????

...of my former co workers and fellow ex-empkoyees.

Except for the current and former executives and board members. May you all rot in the he-l your soulless carcasses deserve.

Already all toxic leaders and managers were asked to leave without any severance packages
All principal engineers were fate in hands of CEO now

Customers are switching to crowdstike products

CEO and Vps like Shankar was begging customers not go for alternative products . Toxic people.. selfish leadership., Employees weren’t not taken well in this org. CEO should resign Nilesh Arora or fire Prisma BU leaders

It went from being a place where people actually collaborated to one where everyone is just looking out for themselves. The leadership at the top seems to have no real plan or vision to fix anything. There's no trust left, and the constant negativity makes it impossible to do your best work. I really miss how it used to be, and it's sad to see what it's become.

Is for MW to be fired!

My boss has crossed the line several times, even showing me na--d pictures on his phone. I feel like it’s pointless to go to HR due to the fact they will just collude with my boss to protect the company. This all happened all a company sponsored lunched

I’ve never had it this bad in 26 years, across several workplaces. I honestly don’t know whether this is WF or just exceptionally bad luck, but it’s almost impressive how many incompetent and petty people have been assembled in one place. What makes it worse is that every time layoffs hit, some of the last decent and capable people are the ones who get cut. Negative selection at its finest. It truly boggles the mind.

The Dell culture has taken a turn for the absolute worst. I’ve never seen anything like it. They allow complete disrespect go unanswered by HR. Breed a toxic and narcissistic management environment. Allow for people to just sh!t all over each other without consequence. Their management is ignorant, insulting and arrogant. I’m waiting for a meeting at some point to just break out into a brawl as people are getting to that point.

Why does Wells Fargo continue to promote managers who run teams through intimidation? It makes no sense to me that people who rely only on yelling and threats are seen by those higher up as high performers, but apparently they are, because it keeps happening.

So systems will never get better check
Executives will not get cut
Bad decision makers will get bonuses
Hard working average employees will get riffed doesnt matter how hard you work. So this pig has got lipstick a dress and makeup & you all still brownnose. Theres no growth here or ever was its the same people holding the same titles and let me guess what religion is dan we always pick the worst times & worse people.p

PepsiCo called they want their toxic CIO back lol as pep employees are having a field day with all their toxic bosses.

The "we're a family" messaging from leadership feels completely fake at this point. It seems like most of the truly talented people have already left, and the communication here is just shocking. I regularly hear managers shouting at people in meetings and no one even bats an eye. Nothing is organized, no one knows who is responsible for what, and the execs keep selling this beautiful vision that has nothing to do with the chaotic reality on the ground. The whole atmosphere is just toxic. What the he-l has Nike turned into?

Upset and sad to hear that an exceptionnally competant colleague was told today was their last day.
Where is illumina going depleting itself of its talent.
It s sad to see such a previously notorious company falling into pieces.

Big disconnect between Cisco's public statements to the financial community—that the company is "rightsizing efficiently" to optimize performance and the observed outcomes of the LR process. HR is non-existent - they don't care about preservation of talent and institutional knowledge. I feel an increasingly toxic culture and diminished trust in leadership.

And push as many of us out as they can along the way. Anyone who thinks this is about anything other than maximizing profits by getting rid of people on the cheap is being naive.

The toxicity from upper leadership is insane. Being a top performer means nothing—“OneTru” is their magic fix that will apparently run itself, so they’d rather replace real talent with cheap contractors from Softility. They’ve openly said we’re only useful until the migration is done, and after that we’re disposable.

Post-layoffs, the people running the meetings were arrogant, condescending, and dismissive. They spoke in circles, offered zero real plans, and clearly have no clue how to handle the mess these mindless cuts created. We’re left overworked, unsupported, and exhausted.

It was a privilege to host Bridget Engle, in Charlotte for a deep dive into our technology strategy and execution.

I was incredibly proud to see our teams demonstrate how they are turning that strategy into reality. From Al-driven (All Indian Driven) automation to engineering next-generation payment platforms, the focus was squarely on impact - delivering powerful, secure solutions that create real-world value for our customers.
These sessions are vital. They connect our enterprise vision directly to the teams on the ground and reinforce our shared commitment to solving complex problems that will advance the future of finance.

At Wells Fargo, we are dedicated to leading that charge. It's our people who are making it happen.

What a puppet guy come in just threw people out. Not even understanding of any sentiments who needs to removed . He’s not only a joker but he’s entire circus

Overall, being let go may be a blessing in disguise. Citi does not want people who WANT to be here but rather people who NEED to be here. People need a job that goes without saying after all you gotta pay the bills. Citi though, wants people who are really desperate like really lean on the insurance. This way management has more increased leverage against you. They can squeeze in the long hours all the while strongly insinuating to not make a big deal about it after all “you really need this job, so don’t rock the boat. How’s that insurance working for you that you really need.” Its always a tongue in cheek comment that’s uncomfortably laughed at, at the time, but the implication is still there.

There’s a mental formula that’s assessed I believe. The more kids you have, the more dependent you are on insurance, the more bills you have…..the more “they got you right where they want you”. The pressure can really be applied. Usually summed up with berating you in public on team calls so that the others can see and know to step in line or else.

I’ve been in 5 different teams over the years and have cycled through 9 different managers. Two of them were really awesome but they too saw the systemic toxicity and left to go elsewhere. The other 7 managers stuck around where they can thrive and their skills (bully tactics) are appreciated and leverages quite readily.

This company has the most micro managing toxic leadership ever. Avoid it if you can. The pressure is productivity. It's a sweatshop. Leadership will smile while they stab you in the back. Hypocrisy is big here.

If you are working hard for this company, dont. They dont deserve any of our efforts or loyalty. They have to be the most hated group of "leaders" in Chevron history and might rank up there on most hated in US history. They single handedly took a much loved company to one that the employees cant stand. They should be ashamed!

“My grandfather was a union organizer in the garment district in New York City. My mother took me to a civil rights demonstration in Washington in my stroller”

What a fu--ing charlatan. Everyone around this a--hole is su-king up to him to keep their jobs. This was some low level account executive without a comp sci background just a month ago telling us the wonders of AI he’s exposed to cause he sees pre-release models. What would this fool be able to discern? Charlatans of Silicon Valley jingling keys in front of a boomer toddler. Ask grandpa if he can convert to PDF or if he needs perplexity to do that for him. Funniest thing about this farce is him talking about being scrappy and then going in hiring his buddy from Columbia who did a sh-t job there against the Trump admin.

Can you imagine any other workplace where an exec indulges in verbal thuggery?
Here the CTO uses abusive language at the drop of the hat.

What does the HR do?
Pretend like nothing ever happened.

Do we really need such utterly spineless HR guys?

P.S: I hope the HR folks get to read this.

Get ready for mass layoffs in towers!

The lucky ones are going in the transaction, even if it’s zayo.Better than this toxic a$$ EMT and new ceo leader that all he wants to do is use his audit team as the gestappo!

Toxic Work Culture On The Rise At GM Following IT Leadership Changes, Layoffs

• Summary: A GM Authority report describes rising employee discontent tied to stricter performance policies, remote work rollbacks, and rounds of layoffs across software and IT. Sources cited internal turmoil following leadership changes and site closures.

HR at this company stopped being about people a long time ago, they love to talk about supporting employees, WLB, open communication. but try bringing them a real issue and see how fast they shut down. The second you speak up youre labeled as negative or not a team player. Totally useless. All effort is made to protect the higher ups and the co, nothing for the worker. Disgusting.

Top management is just lounging around while allowing toxic behavior to spread like wildfire. People used to care about their work, now they just try to survive the madness. It’s contagious, demoralizing, and scary. Watching talented people change because of this environment is heartbreaking.

Terrible executive leadership ki-ling our company

My manager keeps giving my ideas to someone else, ignores my requests, and subtly pushes me aside. I could stew about it, but I decided a good old "fu-k it” is better for my health. After years of hard work, I’m finally done letting this toxic nonsense eat me alive.
