“Dismantled, Disregarded, and Disrespected
It’s beyond frustrating to watch how remote employees — many of whom have dedicated years to this company — are being slowly frozen out. If leadership has already decided that remote workers outside a few select hubs have no future here, the right... — read more
Home Based locations
I'm seeing some people's location as home based and remote. Does that mean they actually live over 50 miles away from a hub or branch and considered remote?
Mysterious Meeting Invites
For those who got laid off, did your manager/vp meet with you in person, or did it happen on a call. Was it individually or in a group? With all the org restructuring going on I’m trying to prepare for every scenario…
Cuts in Digital
Cuts in Digital were shared last week. Does anyone know what groups or how many were impacted?
CEO Fireside Chat Call
“Technical difficulties” ended the call early and a recording will be available at a later date. Was there fear she would, once again, go off script? Perhaps USB wants to be able to edit her responses to avoid another public speaking fiasco?
Hoping for layoffs
I'm sorry, but I'm tired and I want out - and I want them to pay me to leave. I've given enough to this place to walk away with nothing.
New H1-B fees of $100K
There was a post about linking the new H1-B fee to solidifying offshoring. Post got deleted. It had some good information on how this will now make more sense for the bank to open their global capability center (GCC) in India for which they are... — read more

Branch employee
I have been a CRC for seven years and have seen many changes. Each year we have less people to help the customers. I am concerned they will shut down more branches soon. Does any one have any information
14 Years Down The Drain
I was let go today after being with the bank 14 years. Curious if I was targeted to prevent a potential much bigger severance at 15 years. Is there a way to change withholding to have less taxes taken out of severance? Although I'm not... — read more

Pay Grades Decreasing
I've seen a previous Gr 18 role posted as Gr 17, and previous Gr 17 role posted as Gr 16 this week. Ironically, the job descriptions appear to include more responsibilities. July 1, 2025 Indeed company review for U.S. Bank by a Corporate... — read more
PNC looks to eat USB and other regional banks lunch
Good article in the Wall Street Journal today: “The CEO Who Wants to Double the Size of His Bank to $1 Trillion.” As I read the article and the quotes from PNC CEO Demchak it became more telling how bad leadership at USB really is. He lays out more... — read more
Layoffs?
This site is called “the layoff.” With that said, specifically where are the layoffs these days?
The Dilbert Principle
"I wrote The Dilbert Principle around the concept that in many cases the least competent, least smart people are promoted, simply because they’re the ones you don't want doing actual work. You want them ordering the doughnuts and yelling at people... — read more
Cheaper pay for same roles
Looking at internal jobs and they are hiring for current roles at a grade lower with lower pay then what we are paid now for these roles. Are we being set up to be laid off or fired so they can replace us at lower pay? Are they gonna lay us off and... — read more
Poland Team
As a US Based employee, curiosity to what happens (or is there something in place) if Russia continues to escalate and attempt invasion with Poland or things go south quickly there. I worry for them.
HR su-ks
So a coworker was laid off with some effective date in the future. I'm not going to give away the date because I want to remain anonymous. I don't trust HR detectives. He's one of the lucky few ones that found a new job right away. They will not... — read more

Winds of Change
So, lost my position October 2024. Su-ks, but adapted. New banks wants you in office 5x/week. Trying to be diplomatic, but COVID is done. For those of you who concerned about returning to office, you can whine, but most are doing it... — read more
Management on Notice
If the degenerate SVP, EVP and C suites actually scan this board, you have been warned. If you thought you could continue terminating Americans and replacing us with cheaper resources in India, Phillipines...think again. We will make sure you will... — read more
What is the point of Your Voice Matters?
Been here for years and I don’t know that I’ve seen real change come of it - certainly nothing in our favor. Senior leaders do not hold themselves accountable to the results, at least not to us. They present on the quantitative data, say they’re... — read more
They are watching and trying to figure out who posts
Nothing like some good ol big brother trying to figure out who wrote what. Post about an HR exit keeps getting removed 2 times now.
Ethics team is a joke
I know multiple people who filed factual ethics complaints and these were dismissed with no action being taken. Is HR behind this charade? It used to not be this way. The last couple of years has been a s&$@ show with HR and Ethics. Anyone know... — read more
EFCC Layoffs with T Reynolds departure?
Does anyone know if any departments within EFCC will be affected with layoffs due to Reynolds departure?
Has anyone been affected by not complying to RTO?
Just wondering, if anyone has been affected by not complying to full RTO. Heard management has been more strict now, probably since we are heading towards year end. I know it will eventually result in termination. But do they give a warning and then... — read more

PSA Watch Out For Hall Monitors At The Hubs
The facility managers or people who think they own the office are monitoring reservations and checking attendance.
U.S. Bank employees report unfair monthly surcharges. If this happened to you, you could be entitled to recovery.
If you worked at U.S. Bank anytime since 2019 and had health insurance through them, you may have been charged extra fees — sometimes $50–$100 per month. These surcharges were added for things like smoking/vaping, keeping a spouse on your plan, or... — read more
Let me do my job
My manager has started nitpicking every single thing on our schedules, down to when we take breaks. It's downright bullying, not leadership, and it’s ki-ling everyone’s motivation. If they think this is going to make us work harder, they’re out of... — read more

Preparations Underway?
Almost every holiday weekends, executives start showing up talking to top management on numbers - likely they preparing for cuts and organization changes.
What a dump.
Left the dump recently. Took me a few months to get an offer. After a month, I cannot think of a single thing that is worse about new company. Very eye-opening. This makes me wonder: has anyone else left U.S. Bank and realized just how bad of an... — read more
