If we all just ignored the new RTO requirement. What could they do to all of us?

@cy Is your name Bill?
@a6 If your job can be done remotely it can be done by the may contractors pnc is replacing their employees with. There have been recent replacements of pnc employees being let go for contractors from other countries
@OP They're just replacing us with contractors. If we don't go in we just lose our jobs and they pay less. Check people search and see how many contractors that already work for here. There have already been a lot of people let go
@fj did he really resign or did he “resign”? What’s some of the rumors?
@ep sounds like Barnhart did. All kinds of salcious rumors pegged as the reason. And what's this jet story?
@e1 who resigned? no longer in retail, but. curious as i have not heard yet
@d8 HA! I just read the extremely short, nondescript organizational announcement about the longtime retail executive immediately resigning. Hmmmmm…
Lots of tu-ds in the PNC punchbowl, the biggest of which makes 30 million + extras a year. I love the reminder that May is mental Health awareness month on the front page today. We all need that reminder, considering we have morally bankrupt leadership openly calling the PNC workforce indentured servants in recent meetings.
@cy You are hilarious. No power in posts generating 20k views. No power in moving accounts to other banks. No power in whistleblowing. No power in bringing to light OSHA violations. No power is filing ADA complaints. No power in filing a regulatory complaints.
You might be able to force me to sit in a cubicle. But you don’t OWN me, I OWN you.
By the way, why are you wasting your time trying to intimidate us? Doesn’t HR allegedly have another executive scandal/departure to cover up? Just another Thursday. Can’t wait to read that announcement! Let me help you.
AI prompt: Compose an email about an immediate executive departure but make sure it is sufficiently different than the last few. Make it non-descriptive. Do not use language like, alleged indiscretion, alleged moral failure, alleged policy violation Thank them for their contributions but keep the gratitude to a minimum.
Little brother is watching you!
@a6 Actually, there is no power in any number. You’ll never get enough people to do it and most of us need our job more than the bank needs our skill. No more fantasies of mass walkouts and workers of the world unite speeches. They pay us, we do what we’re told. The alternative is to resign or retire, not stage some childish coup to make a point. This will all normalize soon enough and you probably don’t want to be marked or known as a trouble maker when it all settles down.
@am can you spill the tea? lol
@am what was the jet story?
Replace office workers with AI.
Sounds good in theory but we’ve seen how this plays out. Other companies tried the same thing with mass non-compliance, betting on safety in numbers, and after a few months HR started working through the list. Warnings first, then PIPs, then terminations for the holdouts. The crowd thins fast once people realize the company is actually serious.
With leadership here already aligned with the Dimon school of thought on this, I wouldn’t expect a different outcome. They’re not going to reverse course because a chunk of the floor decided to call the bluff. They’ll just start making examples.
And keep in mind one of the new CIOs, Behney, came from Chase and has explicitly said he’s seen every trick in the book on RTO non-compliance. He’s not going to be surprised by anything.
Not saying I love it. Just saying the “what are they gonna do” math doesn’t work out the way people hope. I wish it did.
@OP THIS..RIGHT..HERE!! We have power in numbers.
