is there anything they're actually capable of?

@b2 lol my L4 just announced a committee that meets monthly to solve problems based on TTUS. several have been voluntold to join. so even the L4 L5 are delegating it back to us
@b9 the MC's approval scores are down like 70-80% from the last survey. What ki-ls me is how "baffled" they are about why.
They know why. They're just being intentionally obtuse about it. They're delegating it down to the L2 and L3 leaders to craft these action plans that will do absolutely nothing but waste a bunch of time.
They know what they need to do, they simply will not. Pay people for performance like they said, stop freezing the careers of remote employees, undo the geo code nonsense, and roll back this 60%+ RTO bullsh-t and go back to the previous system, and give us a guarantee in writing that their IP bullsh-t won't be used to log hours in office. It's really not that complicated but they're making it sound like trying to baseline be decent to employees is rocket science

Bruh, no. That's the point, misdirection from their incompetence, offshoring and money laundering.
@ae as an exempt employee I just REFUSE to play this "how many hours has my a-s been in a desk" game. I was trusted to be remote for literal years, got promoted in those years more than once, and now I have to worry about how long I stay in a desk? I think the fu-k not. Obviously I'm shooting for full days but I arrange my day around my workload and responsibilities, not how many hours I sit in a desk to be acceptable to the MC. The whole thing is absurd.
Punish the people who actually are RTO as required…great job US Bank 😂
@b2 the last town hall I was on for my business line, our MC member chided us on not enough people taking the survey but now how the MC scores have a disagreement of nearly 50 percent. Even during employee appreciation week, where all they did was tell lower management to fund things out of their own pockets, I got emails or ecards from everyone in my reporting chain, except my MC member. They set the bar an inch above the floor and she couldn't even clear that.
One of my favorite absolute absurdities I see is this. Talk to US survey comes out. People DEMOLISH the Managing Committe and Senior Leaders. People are talking about L1, L2, and L3 mostly. What do the L1, L2, and L3 do about it? If they even consider it, the FREAKING DELEGATE IT to L4, L5 and below. "Hey minion, people hate me, go fix it". The absolute cluelessness of leaders at the top is mind boggling. Our CEO India F McKensey (f = "first") is a clown show of a leader.
@a1 I was just talking about this earlier today. They talk so much about efficiency but then implement something that requires probably millions of dollars in overhead because of the micromanagement. The tickets HR has to open, the time people managers have spent dealing with angry employees, having conversations about it, trying to get the reporting fixed so their directs don't get fired because the system is fu--ing broken.
Throw the whole MC into the trash.
@ae remote employees do seem pretty worried about keeping their jobs - but at least they get to worry from the comfort of their own homes, and don’t have to schlep a portable office 60.1% of their time, with trash cans nearby, no gasoline or food expenses, and free parking.
I’ve been in the workforce over 30 years ( including 16 of them at US Bank) and I’ve never encountered this level of micromanagement where salaried professionals are treated like they’re hourly employees. This is not meant to disparage anyone hourly at all but being on salary has typically meant you aren’t tracked on an hourly basis. You are trusted to be mature and professional enough to manage your time and perform your job and if you aren’t getting your job done, you get fired. You are evaluated based on your overall performance not based on where you’re sitting and for how long. Simple.
This just boggles my mind because it’s so draconian.
I'm still in awe of the micromanagement of RTO. Why are hybrid employees being held to a different standard than remote employees? Stay in an office for eight hours but remote employees can move around as they please. All to check off a box to meet a monthly metric.
Just get punch clocks at the hubs. The old fashioned ones with actual cards. Simple. Cheap.
So much time, resources, and money spent on Rto non-sense. The whole MC needs overhaul.
Outsourcing?
The resources being spent on this, not least of which includes company morale and employee good will, is stagging.
U.S. Bank, we put shooting our own foot first.
