If they've botched this single issue so thoroughly, is it any surprise the whole business feels like it's about to tip over?

@hy It's a tough job market is the issue, but you're right that most of us should find something different
I left long ago after the stress caused me to have heart palpitations. The comments on this site are wild. There are other companies hiring. If you would really rather put up with MC's BS than be uncomfortable for 6 months over a job change this is the price. Either do something about it or stop crying and go be a good corporate drone.
@by no this sounds about right honestly!
@dn Just because things could get worse doesn't mean people should take it lying down. Executive management moved the goal posts and is working on doing it again.
I agree, RTO is a disaster but what happens the more people complain? They scrap it all and we are back to 5 days in the office.
@bw i think the minneapolis media will love the story of how our female immigrant CEO is hiring her former employer (McKinsey) after several spectacularly bad ethical decisions that saw them consult Purdue Pharmaceuticals, ya know, the company who pushed Oxycontin based on guidance from McKinsey. How many people died???? Oh, then there's McKinsey consulting ICE, advising to withold or remove food and medical care from immigrants. It's fu--ing disgusting and now we have no ethics officer to question the immoral bi--h.
@bs HR is a fucming waste. They can't answer the simplest of questions. I guarantee my Boxer can do a better job.
@bw Negative account metrics (ie lower total accounts and balances) is another.
@bs Elzero is like a disease that GK hasn't found a vaccine for yet. When she does he will be gone in a New York minute.
Most remote employees at the bank saw their pay get cut with an abrupt move in November to downgrade all geocode from F, E and D to a C. All those impacted saw their raises and bonuses go down. We were told that growth and promotions were an exception (which is legalese for don't sue us) for remote employees.
RTO (with most coffee badging) looked like a better option at that point. But with the recent 8 hour and IP tracking it changes things quite a bit.
Something tells me they will come after remote employees next again. They will keep going back and forth between the two groups until enough employees voluntarily resign. Let's hope I am wrong.
@bs She's not getting rid of him. He's well compensated because it's his job to take the heat off of the rest of the management committee. Making shareholders uncomfortable is going to be the only thing that turns the ship around. A lawsuit that accuses the bank of discriminatory hiring or a viral campaign showing the bank being a terrible community partner in vital markets would be the low hanging fruit.
The board isn’t going to fire GK and admit their DEI hire failure. But they can save $5M/yr and help get rid of the head of HR who fails at every turn. In 5-6 years HR has gone from as well managed as one could expect to a department that not a single person trusts. And it’s not just the RTO debacle, it goes well beyond that…
Can no longer support this company. Planning to close all banking accounts relating to Us bank.
@ay saving me a parking spot would actually be an improvement because my RTO parking spot comes out of pocket for me :) (ie pay cut) sick burn though
@ay Many were hired long before Covid as remote employees. For us, this is not RETURN to office. It is the bank not honoring our original offer of employment. So yeah, people are pi---d off about it and rightfully so.
Many have been in the office since the all clear after covid. Welcome back. No sniveling. See you at the water cooler. Will save you a parking spot
@ab 100% agree. And to add, senior leadership involved in making these decisions IS inept. It’s not just an appearance, it is a proven fact.
You are not allowed say that. Gunjan Kedia will ensure to find who you are and will fire you. She is a Ideal DEI Hire for our MC. She has established a set of policies that all employees must adhere to. These policies are designed to align with the U.S. Bank's Core Performance metrics for the year 2026, specifically under the "Talent and Performance" section in Workday. It is imperative that all staff members comply to come to office and sit in the office chair for 8 hours and ensure your laptop is ON and plugged to office network guidelines. Failure to do so may result in a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP).
I agree with : @ab+1kp1dy5gv.....it makes no sense to be in some hub by yourself while you do all your business via teams.....so then you start to question if they are incapable of making a good decision with RTO....then you just assume all their decisions are poorly thought out.
I am not confident they can handle anything correctly.
They should have allowed WFH for teams that are spread out.
Now you have current employees who don't feel valued and the leadership appears inept.
I pray it bites them in the a-s. They deserve the worst press and chaos they have coming to them.
If they managed RTO and their promises to employees this miserably, how can I trust them to manage my money?
I'm liquidating my US Bancorp securities and transferring brokerage accounts. It would be foolish to trust them with my money after this demonstration of integrity and competence.
