This is all very intentional. AI is a priority to Bill and people at PNC are being told they must use it. The employees are training their replacements without even knowing it. They are doing so under the impression of efficiency to help them in their roles.
Bill has not mentioned PNC values in ages, our employee appreciation weeks are nothing now. They are now virtual scavenger hunts on your own time, with a free PNC umbrella, and he certainly isn’t showing he values us employees. As we receive our maximum of 2% for exceeding goals, at the cost of our friends at work losing a portion of their 1.5%. The team average must be 1.5% if you have an exceeds you must take part of the 1.5% from someone else to give the exceeding employee more. Bill is getting his millions at the cost of all of us. We do not matter to Bill, or any of these executives other than to train AI then we will be dropped.
Bill needs to publicly hear people’s about planning to replace us with AI, ever decreasing raises, expectations of loss of wages by RTO costs, all while taking in millions for himself. We are told to be thankful for our 1- 2% . Days later we receive a quarterly earning email showing the billions they made and emails about all the money they have donated. Employees are struggling to make ends meet because cost of living is rising significantly more than double the percentage rate of our annual increase. They know the banking job market is sketchy now with AI on the horizon, and they can do this to us without fear of losing the employees. They need employees today to train our AI replacements.
Bill, knows he makes money off our high performing employees, and he can get more money if he takes our salary away. So he’s focusing on AI, he’s mandating we use it. He’s mandating we teach it how to take our jobs by feeding it our work a few tasks at a time. Once we have trained it, they have tested it, and rolled it out, our highest paid employees will be let go. It’s obvious you need less people if AI can do our job faster and cheaper. All so Bill can make more money, and he can see billions more in profit. AI is even being implemented where the bank is tasked with important things like AML, Fraud, front line customer service. What happens when AI makes a mistake on AML and misses something big?
PNC Customers, Pittsburghers, and anyone else, we need you. We can’t speak up ourselves or we will be fired. We need you to stand up, scream at the top of your lungs on social media. Scream to the world on social media, and anywhere else, you will leave PNC as a bank, you will ensure no one you know banks at PNC if they continue the AI. Tell them, you and no one you know will get a loan from them, credit card, business product, invest, etc. Let them know, you will ensure you and everyone you know does bank with PNC if they decide to stop using AI, and keep the humans in the U.S. employed. Show them, they have the ability to be the number one bank if they keep us employed and treat us right. Show them, the way to more profit is actually keep your neighbors, family, friends, etc employed by dropping this AI shift.
When AI takes these roles, it hurts everyone. The employees will need jobs, won’t have funds to pay bills and survive. They may enter your line of work, making your need less, your pay lower. When tons of people need jobs, jobs can pay less, this hurts us all, not just PNC employees. We must stop PNC from moving to AI. It strays here, we can then take a stand against this, and stand against it everywhere.
