#volunteering

Should I cancel my team volunteer event this Thursday? We are passionate about serving our communities not only with America’s best network, but showing up to color pictures and paint skateboards too. These events are central to RTO to create moments that matter. I don’t know what to do given the rumors. I’ll go ahead and order the crayons anyways.

As a meta mate I heard about the 7k employees being moved to MSL to work on AI initiatives.

Few questions:
How can I volunteer to be moved, or was that already randomly determined?

What are they actually doing there? Anything cutting edge?

Will they the most safe from the next few layoffs since they just got re orged?

Don’t give to UW through work (give on your own if you can still afford to do so). Billy can make up for the difference.

Don’t volunteer for Grow Up Great (go help your local school on your own). Billy can take his limo to the schools and make up for the loss in hours.

Don’t attend EBRGs until flexibility is restored. The firm uses EBRGs as evidence of engagement. Continue to support each other, but do it on your own.

Don’t let PNC (Pune - Chennai - New Delhi) take any credit for your community involvement. Let those new employees in our overseas hubs, who are quietly replacing us, step up and show their community support. I have no spite toward the individuals overseas, but since Billy has made the decision to layoff his U.S. based workforce and hire overseas, there is no way I am letting him take credit for my support of UW, Grow up Great, or involvement in EBRGs.

Do I regret taking voluntary retirement? No. Will this company regret hiring people who don’t know our industry, empowered to make decisions and ultimately destroying service all to save a buck? Absolutely. But after tomorrow it’s not something I need worry about.

I am 57. Dropped from Excellent to good, to NI over thr last 3 assessments. I approached my supervisor about volunteering for NSi and would take the PIl. He told me it could not be arranged. Anyone experience this? I am ready to leave. I guess just wait to see where i fall in the assessment this year

I doubt there will an abundance of employees wanting to engage/volunteer in PNC Grow Up Great activities going forward due to the announcement today. I will no longer offer my personal time. It must be on company time, if I even decide to continue to do it. Who has time to volunteer when you’re spending hours during a 5 day work week just to commute to work!? I will no longer contribute to the United Way either. Why should PNC get the recognition for my donation? I hope you all will stand with me on these topics.

Anyone planning to take advantage of the voluntary "raise your hand" program?

Off topic, but since this website seems like the only place for vteamers to talk honestly, sharing this here

Does anyone else also feel like volunteering portal is such a sham and a useless activity

Most volunteering activities don’t make ANY true impact. It’s a stupid feel- good exercise so that silly bosses (and some silly employees) can virtue signal that they are good human beings. While making no real difference in the world

I’d like to approach my manager and volunteer for the severance package. 1 pay period per year that is.

Are they accepting volunteer layoffs at this time? How does one know if they are?

Question in the title. I've got a three-hour volunteering event lined up, will be four hours counting the drive to the site. Unclear if this will be counted as an in-office day or if I need to go in another day to account for it.

Photo shoots, Pulse Surveys, Volunteering, Reorg Adjustments, Infinite Smiles & Cheerleading & Positivity.... Master these and you are all good.

I haven’t been happy here for the last few years. This isn’t the same company I joined, and I’ve got no loyalty left. If they want to pay me to leave, I’ll take it. I’m not thrilled about having to job hunt again, but I’m sure I’d be able to land somewhere better soon enough.

At least for UK staff, WFA days cut from 10 to 8 and volunteering days cut from 3 to 1.

We are asked to volunteer for different locations or functions but they do not ask you to volunteer as most managers are forced you do not have a choice.The only ones who have a choice are contractor like companies and such

Hey anthem, you will not force or coerce me to volunteer to your chosen causes just so you can can get brownie points where ever you are trying to get them….. I volunteer and have for years, the way people are supposed to….. not for credit!

Heads are on the line if departments do not meet their "volunteering" hours. Every other day senior leadership in my department is sending emails telling us of opportunities to "volunteer" to meet our quota. On every video conference call it is the lead in and closing point. I wonder who would lose their job if that line of business wouldn't meet the goal? Imagine being laid off because you didn't "volunteer" enough.

Here is 10 threads on the topic... I see multiple folks asking questions, so I consolidated and tagged the info... Hope it helps... ** quotes for bold, > for indent, five or more minus signs for a line break...
