The lack of any mention of relaxing RTO minimums while also sending out daily safety alerts (sometimes more than 1 a day) to those of us working in downtown Minneapolis is appalling.

Getting multiple reports of layoffs Tuesday morning and still ongoing at time of posting

The average age of employees grades 14-17 seems to have dropped by over 10 years since 2022 at least in Sekou’s org. Clearly driven by layoffs. We’ve seen what looks like blatant examples of age discrimination. Pushing an over 50 to a unique role... — read more 

Fired? No consequence if they go for some days?

I actually like the work I do, but the conditions are wearing me down fast. We're constantly short-staffed, people leave every month, people get laid off all the time, and the pay just doesn't make up for the stress. It's making me seriously question... — read more 

So if you’re above 110% of midpoint of salary no merit increase?

I know there are people on this site who probably have some insights into what’s happening with remote employees. Specifically in that middle job grade class (14-17). If you can share any insights into the remote/layoff strategy in 2026 please do... — read more

I overheard someone talking about how rto is going to change and it’ll be 2 days per week in office and up to the department(s) on which days you need to come in? Anyone know anything or know if this is something that’s going to be released?

Title says it all. Thanks in advance.

Typo fixed.

Question in title

Curious if anyone else is seeing or feeling the downstream effect of what’s happening at the top of the house. I don’t mean the obvious things, I mean the intangible effects of the changes and stress. Is anyone else’s team acting differently? People... — read more 

It opened today for managers, correct? How are things looking in RMC?

I was watching this movie and it hit me on how well that phrase represents the bank today. I am generalizing here but for the most part it seems that our lions (level X) are being led by a bunch of lambs (level X-1) all the way up top to the CEO... — read more 

For those who have moved jobs internally, did the recruiter reach out to coordinate an interview with the hiring manager or did the hiring manager reach out directly to you? Also how long did it take to hear that you made it to the next round after... — read more

I’m confused on what’s happening. Are all leaders in the company expected to be hybrid roles now? For grades 16+, are those remote roles being eliminated? Or were these layoffs this week just certain org decisions? Can someone clarify the moves... — read more

Heard rumors that a few Grade 16 or higher roles without direct reports will be impacted due to re org and low level roles will be created to fill same positions for cost saving Can anyone confirm if this is true?

Does anyone know if I was on an approved leave during the year and got a meets expectations, if I’ll get full bonus or do they pro-rate?

You know, the people who actually know how things work. Meanwhile, the leadership ranks just keep getting bigger. I wonder how long this can continue before something breaks.

Laid off this week. Was remote. Role being moved to one of 2 hubs. Trust no one. I was GL 17+. I shouldn't be surprised as I have seen this happening in pockets even though I was told not to worry.

Has anyone else working in the Plaza building in Minneapolis noticed a guy who has just been standing in the plaza lobby and atrium all day now?

Kind of a relief actually. In RMC for those curious. My last day is 1/30…does that mean I will get a normal paycheck on 2/6?
