I know multiple people who filed factual ethics complaints and these were dismissed with no action being taken. Is HR behind this charade?
It used to not be this way. The last couple of years has been a s&$@ show with HR and Ethics. Anyone know what’s happening there in HR or Ethics or both teams?
He works for RISK MANAGEMENT at the bank, yet creates hundreds of additional risks, that is insane.
I think we call that a narcissist, and Ry-boy was certainly that!
@35a A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth either in himself or anyone else. He ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect from anyone, he can no longer love and in him; he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying - to others and to yourself.
Maybe the demotion is in only in terms of duties and title. If you are still getting SVP pay, who wouldn't want to keep working in this cesspool? Although I feel for anyone who ever worked for or with him -- past, present and future. This company so terribly run and the rot begins at the top with our cr-ppy CEO and the MC!
It is well known that he was the flimsiest, unconfident EVP ever, and when he wasn’t cozying up to his boss, he was hiding out in his office, meeting with people 1-2 levels below him, or traveling solo to meet with nobody and accomplishing nothing.
Does no longer having an EVP title inhibit his ability to hop on the company plane?
@35q Shortest tenured EVP in company history and probably the first employee removed from the mentor connect program. Nobody needs career advice from Ry-guy unless they want to know what it takes to get demoted. SVP! SVP! SVP! SVP! SVP! SVP! SVP! SVP! SVP!
It was an open secret that Andy hated his teams, anyone who was different, and anyone who didn’t swear an oath of fealty.
Same standards do not apply for exec leadership.
Saw survey scores for all of JR directs and he was worst in every category, by miles. But he had a bad team, really bad. Just ask him.
His survey results in STCA should have gotten him fired. He did these d-mb small group meetings and brownbag lunches to try and fix and they backfired because his true colors always showed. He has such a loathing and disdain for his employees. Does anyone know if his scores improved in risk?
If anyone needs proof that he was demoted, the former EVP is a SVP now! LOLLOLLOL!
@35a oh Ry-guy, still blaming others for your misfortune...
Criminal? Yeah right! The only thing criminal happening here is character as----------n.
There’s no truth to any of this. None whatsoever. These are allegations being made by two groups of people: woefully incompetent auditors who had a bone to pick with a senior risk leader, and who were fired for their blatantly biased and reckless attempts to take down said leader. The other group are people who were passed over or left behind through the years because of incompetence, limited skill sets, or inability to work in a collaborative manner to further the bank’s growth for customers and shareholders.
So the only reason this guy still has a job here is because he knows where the bodies are buried? Folks, I give you US Bank, one of the few places in American banking where you are allowed to fail upwards and you are repeatedly rewarded for incompetence, corporate malfeasance, and criminal mismanagement.
Andy would tell you that he lied because he had no alternative. RMC is not a safe place to fail.
It happens because there aren’t systems in place to ensure accountability and truthfulness, you know, like a functioning ethics program.
@353 it's all thanks to JR and leaders like KH and her direct reports SS and AG.
Bigger concern for Andy is his flop of an effort while running Strat and Rep risk. He’s got nothing to show for two years and thousands of dollars spent, and the bank is just as exposed now as it was when he started. How did this happen?
Never never never file ethics case. You will be targeted and fired.
If grievance is illegal, report to proper govt agency and retain evidence.
If not illegal, do all you can do to go to an other comply.
That’s awesomely bad. Keep your expectations low with Andy, very low, and keep an eye on your wallet.
@31s to sum up Ry guy and his level of incompetency look no further than employee appreciation week. Ry guy takes it upon himself to try and order pizza for the team, ends up ordering about a half a slice per person and then brags how much the lunch cost. Remote employees were supposed to get uber eats gift cards, never did. We all got a good laugh after he left the conference room, “typical Andy”… We all celebrated when he announced his departure for his demotion.
I watched from the outside looking in as Ry-guy received carte blanche to “build” his new risk function. What happened after that was comical as he retreated from confrontation and refused to take advice. I recall conversations with this cat where his eyes glazed over when he knew he needed to take a stand. Somehow he ended up in Ireland with a bunch of our leaders and I’m wondering “why is this guy here” as he imbibes and ferrets his way into every conversation while bagging on his team at home. Most of his team I knew well from prior roles and they would be shocked at what he said about them and the concessions he was willing to make. I’ve advised my team since that point to steer clear of him and I will continue to keep him at arms length despite the fact that he reaches out to my team for “transition” meetings. He’s persona non grata in risk as far as I’m concerned.
@2wr Something similar happened to me at USBank. I expressed strong interest in an open role on my team and asked to be considered for it. Same as my current role, but would move me from contractor to FTE. Manager immediately replied, No they want a man. This happened during a team meeting. I'm a woman, this former manager is a woman. Nothing said about my qualifications, just gender. And yes the role went to a coworker, also a contractor, but a man. So happy that I left a while back.
I can’t speak to the picnic but can imagine he’s lucky HR wasn’t there.
In STCA, he completely hosed several women out of promotions and promising careers for no other reason than their gender. Then he retaliated against the people who suggested foul play.
@2vk is there a statute of limitations on behavior?
Statute of limitations has clearly passed on anything that happened at the picnics fyi.
@2rv Credit risk gets company sponsored picnics?
It actually matters a lot, especially in times like these, where integrity and ethics seem to be a bit of a forgotten concept. The fact that USB allows the festering sore that is “Andy” or “Ry-guy” exist within their ranks and none of the traditional mechanisms (ethics complaints, surveys, employee feedback) for jettisoning this type of toxic leader are functioning suggest an organization that is rotting from the inside out. People are afraid to speak up, people fear being retaliated against, and people have become apathetic. That’s a serious organizational problem that goes all the way to the top and should have been dealt with years ago. A merger will clean house, but the toxic management in place will likely profit from such a merger, get a clean slate, and move on. This is not justice for those who have been wronged.
None of this matters, we are merging with another bank in 6 months or less, guaranteed, and at that point our buyer installs their own risk team.
@2j2 she absolutely does not have a leg to stand on with the new CEO. She clearly has significant issues with men both in the workplace, and in her professional life. These issues manifest into a poor moral compass, and impaired judgment. As evidenced by multiple marriages, promiscuous behavior, a reputation for partying, and her support of AR. The CEO is first and foremost focused on business. JR is bad for the business. Not to mention, the CEO’s values, and cultural beliefs do not align with JR at a core level.
@2f7 so successful he has been shipped off to a building where he doesn’t have his own office. Oh, and, SO successful he has several ethics complaints, and a reputation that is evident by all these posts.
She’s the most tenured MC and has a staff of directs who operate like ninja as-----ns in protecting her. She leaves when she wants to leave, bottom line.
@2j2 but how? How did JR get so powerful? Does she have something on the board? The leadership? The regulators?
Jodi will not be moved, does not matter how bad things get for her. It simply won’t happen, she might be more powerful than Gunjan.
Karma will catch up with rye boy for sure though!
@2hn but there were auditors that did look and JR and audit leadership rather cover it up that do the right thing thing. You all are so focused on just the one guy .... When the problem is much deeper
In fairness, as a co-owner of a different risk stripe, it did make me a little jealous that the bank and JR were diverting resources into Andy and so badly wanted him to succeed that for a while, everything else was de-prioritized.
His objective? Build out second line risk teams for reputation and strategic risk. His results? Two middling hires, zero progress or build out for either risk, and an area that could easily be exposed if the auditors or prudential regulators ever cared to look. It’s the classic example of doing less with more.
@2f7 jelly? More like disgusted and seeing karma take her turn. The guy so white privilege that he matches the wall.
integrity is what happens when nobody's looking, and what Ry-guy did when nobody was looking was deplorable, for more than a decade at the bank.
