Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

@qd patience.

@qd The grass is always greener over the septic tank. But wait until that tank starts to leak sh-t everywhere and now you're stewing in it. It happened here. It will happen elsewhere in this industry. And it completely SU-KS but that's reality.

Stay strong. Absolutely been there for two years before I got out. The grass is so much greener on the other side.

@hn I share your pain and praying for you. I also share that same regret. It ki-ls me knowing how much this pain has affected my love ones. They depend on me in every way possible. I wish I wasn’t so hard on myself as well. High likely hood my health wouldn’t be where it is today.

Reignite that flame and keep going.

Did we cross paths with the same person?

Hmmm.

@OP. This happened to me. I was thrashed to various teams in a short period of time. It was extremely confusing and took a huge toll on my mental health, that I’m honestly still recovering from while looking for a new job…because you guessed it, after I endured years of abuse and politics they decided they’d just dump me in to one of the worst job markets in a long time. Trying to remember everything I’m capable of and I’ve done in my career, even though US Bank tried to extinguish my light. My biggest regret is how hard I was on myself during my time there. Never again.

Dp here, thank you for the validation and vote of confidence. I’ve been around long enough to know that targets are mere reflections of insecurity, and unless people get a grip on that insecurity, the problem usually resolves itself. Which is also where I comppletely agree with OP - stay true to your values, do the right thing, focus on who and what you are there to serve. The rest often handles itself.

@dp Hang in there. Maybe ask around to others how they feel? Ask for your colleagues cell if you don’t already have them in your contacts Ask during lunch or personal time. It will to know how others feel and its good documentation. I get why if you don’t.

Spend your energy on knowing it will get better and back to “pre target” life. I’m sorry you are going through this.

@dp 100%. Absolutely everything needs to be documented.

I am serious when I say everything.

Every. Single. Interaction and form of communication.

Do this, and the pattern will easily present itself with how things have been over the recent years.

Do this starting now as a habit and practice even if you don’t feel the need to.

You will thank yourself later.

It’s almost as if you wrote my story, though I’m in the middle of the mess. You absolutely know when there’s a target on your back. You absolutely know when you are shunned and isolated. You know when there is backstabbing because others are insecure and need someone else to blame. And all of it takes a toll. If you speak up, it’s used against you somehow. “Not a team player”, “these are areas you need to grow in”. If you don’t speak up you end up in a slow and silent downfall, and then that’s used against you, with the same line “not a team player”.
So I’ll just add one piece of advice to everything you’ve shared, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!!!! Move in silence and keep factual note. Screen shot conversations, use Copilot, write down face to face interactions daily.

Sounds like you have a lawsuit.

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." Matthew 18:20

So we have that gathering here and here's a prayer for the OP:

Dear Lord, please heal and continue to bring peace and comfort to the OP. Bless OP with your Grace and thank you for working through your servant. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

@ac and Saleh, yes 100% god does know and sees EVERYTHING!

So again, if anyone is in a tough situation right now, REMEMBER THAT!! SERIOUSLY! DO NOT FORGET, COMPROMISE, OR IGNORE that!

It will 100% make everything workout in the end.

It’s guaranteed.

No malice for the ones who forget, morally compromise, and ignore this… but you should be worried about yourself. It’s never too late.

@ac thank you.

@ad I wish the best for you and pray you or anyone you know or love NEVER experiences this and the experience I had working for what I thought was one of the best places to work for until yes crossing paths with people (let’s not call them managers because it’s to much of a compliment) who’s souls are hallowed out without a trace of their soul left.

Please excuse my fake typo and this fake post to correct it!

@ab the 12 hour surgery I went through wasn’t fake. Would be great if it was. Anyways I could understand why you so quick to judge. But I hope it’s out of skepticism and not a guilty conscience. I wish the best for you and pray you or anyone you know or love experiences this and the experience I had working for what I thought was one of the best places to work for until yes crossing paths with people (let’s not call them managers because it’s to much of a compliment) who’s souls are hallowed out without a trace of their soul left.

It's so good that you made sure to keep your integrity intact.
God sees all...including intentions behind actions, both good and bad; so know that those who intentionally oppress and hurt others will have to account for and pay for those actions.
Same goes for those of us who are the targets of such evilness...our reactions to such maltreatment are noted by God, too. You've done well, and He will reward you for your stalwart steadfastness of character and soul.

I am praying for you in the name of Jesus Christ.

He is the only one who can save us.
Put your faith in him, and God will bless you.

"hallowed" out without a trace of their "sole". Where do these fake posts come from?

Forgot to add, the treatment and toxicity of being the target is the cause of the life changing diagnosis.

Life is short. Trust me. Really trust me, I am genuinely and sincerely saying this in the hope of earning more karma points, because I need all of the karma and prayers possible right now.

Please hear me when I say this.

Keep your conscious clean. Your karma good. And never let this job (or the person or persons more better way to say) make you lose yourself.

If you are in a hard place and don’t know what to do. Remember one thing, your faith.

It may seem meaningless, but in all seriousness it is the one thing that will somehow make everything work out. Hopefully overnight, but if not, it will happen. Trust me.
