Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

Place su-ks for growth…. I left after being turned down turned three times…

This is no longer a place to plan a career. It's just a job until you find somewhere better. Make the best of your time here, learn and grow as much as you can, and then exit as soon as you find something else. I'm saying this a someone who previously planned on spending the rest of my career here. No more.

Was the posted range for your geo code? I've seen those problems before where the posted range was for geo code D but the candidate was in C.

Get all you can right away. Don't expect or plan on a promotion or any sort of increase. They will just move the goalpost or change their mind however it suits them. Zero integrity here.

I went up 4 grades no issue

@ab I asked because employees typically won't be allowed to advance more than two grade levels at a time. If they are, it's likely to come with strings attached.

Anyway, it's all impacted by current pay grade, location, blah blah blah, and the salary ranges listed in the job postings are based on the primary market listed and supposed to be considered examples/subject to change based on those factors. They lay it all out in the Salary & Pay Grades article.

Doesn't make it right, but knowing this information can help set expectations and prevent wasted time and disappointment.

"How much higher?" - this mindset is the problem. Employees should be getting paid for the job they do - period.

The only thing that matters is I have the educational background and skills necessary to perform the job and wasn't even offered the posted salary.

I was intentionally lowballed because they knew my current grade and salary.

Should I have said sure I'll take it on the condition that I will only be doing X % of the work to match the salary offer?

"I was told I can't qualify for midrange b/c the new grade was much higher than my current rank." How much higher?
