#management

Listen to the Bloomberg Talks interview with Dan. They literally ask him what changes will average customer see that will make an impact and Dan literally couldn’t answer. Totally embarrassing- it’s so CLEAR he has NO PLAN for any real changes. Just AI, AI, AI. Literally no plan at all!!!

Bloomberg says:
Tata consulting services has brought 6500 L1 visas to USA from India.
L1 is for 'Managers'. Many were not managers at all l, just a cheap labor with fake titles used to bypass immigration and take Local jobs. Also submitted about 25k H1B applications.
Surprisingly most of these visa holders are in Ford, Stellantis and GM

What is your opinion about new deep dive call by Mi? What is happening in that meeting

It’s crazy how Dan Schulman fits every stereotype of his culture. It su-ks that the chosen people have chosen to sc--w over families for short term stockholder satisfaction and personal gains. The tiny hats strike again!

How can you mess up a company so badly and never answer for any of it? Are we in a TV show and they have plot armor? What is it that's keeping them untouchable despite so many failures?

Besides broken systems, unqualified leadership and performative culture?

Why does management say presence reports aren’t really scrutinized anymore? Bull, if anything they are used even more.
Why do you claim we have flexibility? Bull, we need approval in advance for Caregiver & WFH if we’re sick- that’s babysitting, not flexibility.
We care about employee well-being? Bull, why do you go into hiding every month to create next surplus list. Just cut what you need and let the rest of us exhale.

Bilton&Weiss have just sealed their fate ! They have indeed dismantled an American Insitution. Ratings will drop further. Ad dollars even more. Look what happened when clowns like these came in over the past few years at NBC, CNN, and ABC. Their take a bat to the system failed and now CBS is under the same repeat errors. Good riddence to Weiss&Bilton.

Signed,

Good Night & Good Luck.
The Ghost of ERM.

Does anyone have any details about what July will look like for R2Bs new role? It’s almost like they are turning us into bible salesmen and paying us about the same as one.

I doubt it will be October this year.

I got some hints from my manager late April. If they started to look in April, I would suspect it will be the second half of Summer.

Just saw this on LI, it's it true? What does this mean for GN&T?

HR says it’s not reportable. I’m done with this racist enabling company.

Tata Consultancy CEO brought in 6,500 L-1A “managers” to America from India.

Bloomberg says: many weren’t managers at all, just cheaper labor with fake titles used to bypass H-1B rules and fees.

Does anyone understand what’s changing? I don’t get it…….

is there anything they're actually capable of?

Biggest bully manager at DSG?!!!
...and gets away with it...bc we all know the rules do not apply to everyone here like they want folks to think.

I've witnessed several managers openly talk about protecting themselves whenever deadlines slip or projects run into trouble. Meetings usually turn into long discussions about who caused the issue rather than how to solve it. Very few people seem willing to admit mistakes or take responsibility. It's exhausting to work in such an environment.

I have been through several restructurings before in other companies and here, but this latest situation feels different. Management keeps mentioning budget pressure and possible cuts during meetings, even when the topic has nothing to do with staffing. It has now started to feel less like planning and more like a way to keep people from questioning decisions and keeping us in our lane.

Sadly, that's far from what happened here. The people who knew how to play politics, who knew how to hide during the bad times, they're the ones who mostly survived. Most of the people who actually knew how to lead, who had real skills and real experience, they're gone. What we've got left is the worst management team I've ever worked under and most of the rest of us who do the work looking for an exit.

The cure is not in cutting costs. The cure is to innovate its way out of the current
predicament. Fiserv seems to be missing that point. Sure you can increase EPS by buying back stock and laying off employees, but thats not going to grow top line revenue. No one is impressed with management’s plans, and the stock price is reflecting that.

Are all areas facing issues with complete chaos in their depts because they lost the good leadership (and valuable associates) they had with VSP? My area is crumbling and the management we have been left with is relatively new with not enough knowledge to properly manage. I’m not sure her skillset has even included managing people before. It’s become a free-for-all with some associates logging on barely 4 hours a day doing pretty much nothing. We were swept under a new director who also had no experience with our departments responsibilities so he exists but has been 100% absent. We were already understaffed before VSP but the past 6 months we are sinking fast. Is this just my area’s reality or is this being felt across the company ?

Sometimes their expectations are truly ridiculous. Maybe we can let them do our jobs for a while, just so they could get some perspective (even though I firmly believe none of them would last for more than a day.)

Does the new cohort of managers know that fear-based management is not the only one in existence, and that it certainly isn't the one to result in highest productivity? I swear, the more somebody yells at me, the slower I do my job. Intentionally. These "leaders" need some lessons in people skills.

"A Private Equity consortium led by a firm like Thoma Bravo or Francisco Partners is the most probable successor. This structure satisfies several competing requirements: it provides Oracle with an immediate cash infusion to fund its GPU clusters (satisfying the liquidity crisis), it bypasses the most severe antitrust hurdles associated with a Microsoft or Amazon acquisition and it allows for a "neutral" platform that could potentially stabilize the customer base."

Conclusions: Sell off Oracle Heath, ORCL needs the cash ! New CFO is the Grim Reaper !

F-c the management wh--es, f-c ‘em all

I submitted a few names for KOFS, and my manager emailed me saying he didn’t approve the names I chose and that I needed to replace them with the names he wanted. During the PDS review session, he kept emphasizing the “improvement” sections. Even when six KOFS said I communicated effectively, he focused on the one person who said otherwise. Bottom line: I feel like I’m being targeted for a PIP. I’ve read posts where people mentioned coaching, training, and scorecards, but I’m not clear on how the process actually works. Is it just you and your manager or other people get also involved?

Can someone explain what really happens? Is it just between you and your manager, or do other people get involved in the process as well?

Smells like something is on the stove.

Honestly, are there any other teams that have management that just regurgitates whatever Claude spits out at them? It’s really hard to take anyone seriously when they don’t even do their own writing, problem solving and communication. It’s obviously a balance, but I literally don’t have any trust left for reading anything anymore.

Been here for a little while now and it is very obvious that there is a lack of understanding Medicaid state requirements. Even in markets with years of MCO experience the barriers to regulatory requirements are difficult to ignore. Are the higher up’s starting to understand that Medicaid is not as pretty as Medicare or are they oblivious?

I am no longer with Wells Fargo. However, I am in the running for a job outside of Wells. I need a professional reference and was thinking of an old manager from Wells.

Does anyone know if managers are able to provide references? For some reason, I remember it being said that managers cannot provide a reference and if they are called for a reference they forward the request to HR. Is that the case?

And if the numbers are not there, then they get the sack?

Wells Fargo is quietly rebranding some Senior Manager titles to Senior Leads, possibly signaling middle-management elimination. Let's use this thread to consolidate what we know and what expect. Please be polite as the mods tend to nuke threads that go bananas.

I do not care about layoff but do not want my SNPS stocks go down too much.

Sebastian Page requested that the TRP AI innovation team investigate and draft up a POC for a “humanoid robot” with AI capabilities.
That’s the d-mbest sh-t I’ve ever heard. Isn’t this an investment firm?

Like it’s getting to the point where they are counting how many times I’ve reached out for assistance in a multi month period. For the record these were assigned cases that were rare scenarios I hadn’t come across yet and neither had they lol. I was told i apparently reached out for assistance about a dozen times over a 2.5 month period. lol whatever

Portfolio leadership is directly responsible for the failures in losing market share. My Heartland Gulf Operation OD is an example of this. He blames everyone else and wants people fired on our teams and our specialists but never holds himself accountable. Tells everyone to do their job but does not do his. He does not even reside in the operation. This is the type of leadership that loses market share.

Let me do my job and it'll get done in time. Hanging over my shoulder all the fu--ing time will only slow down the process and you threatening with my name being put on the "list" if it's not will just get me pi---d off, not motivated. How hard is it to let us do our jobs in peace?

I've been doing this work for a very, very long time, and the best managers I ever had were the ones who listened more than they talked. They cared about their people and helped us succeed. These days, it's all talk and no substance. I don't even bother with all hands meetings anymore because there's never any real information or direction.

Pretty please? Aren't they supposed to make our jobs easier instead of harder? Why is NS determined to just promote or hire completely incompetent people? Why?
