Do it. Lay off the productive people again. Promote the ones who are best at politics. The company will keep declining, and I'll be long gone, relieved to not be part of the slow-motion train wreck anymore.

@cz the sh---y market makes it extremely difficult to choose to leave your job right now. most people will quietly quit and wait to get laid off or spend their time looking for work elsewhere. these things take time when there are so many massive layoffs, especially in the technology space right now.
@jd Pakistan Zindabad!

Yup, the bank is ran by Indian management consultant cultural norms. The only banks that can survive with such a culture in India are government owned (so taxpayers take the loss). A company like this would never exist in a competitive market.

@f2 because we've been told that we are the most ethical company evaaa! Ethical companies don't have petty internal politics. Are you saying we've been lied to? NOOO!!
In most large organizations, internal politics are fairly common. It’s hard to see why U.S. Bank would be an exception.
I am 49, about 3 years left for me. I've already made plans that when this job ends I'm done with banking. Whether it is unpleasantly or pleasantly surprised by an exit package I can accept it either way.
It is sad to look back that working here up until about 3 years was a great experience I would gladly recommend to any friend I have in the industry (in fact I have recommended friends from other Banks to apply here in the past and one of them was hired).

If you’re that miserable find another job. The bank isn’t forcing you to stay here.
