USB is just like any other bank - not worth your dedication
There’s no point in staying with a bank for more than a couple of years. I’ve worked at several, and they’re all equally bad. USB fits the mold perfectly. They’ve all become sweatshops, offering no real opportunities for advancement or meaningful... — read more

Worst Culture - USBank
I have never experienced anything like it. The leadership is so backwards, completely out of touch with technology and people. Starting with the so called CIO (Dilip). I can say, safely without reservations - Dilip is the worst leader I have ever... — read more

Are We Headed the Boeing Way?
Boeing’s downfall wasn’t just about faulty planes—it was about a corporate culture where non-technical managers sidelined skilled engineers. They hired their own clueless minions, who simply echoed their bosses instead of challenging bad decisions... — read more
U.S. Bank Eco challenge
I find it hilarious that the bank wants us to participate in an Eco challenge as if they actually care about the environment. Especially considering they are making everyone drive back into the office with their gas cars. Heck, I am even afraid to... — read more

Employee Appreciation Week!
At USB that means “Nice job” today and “You’ve been laid off.” tomorrow. Fake AF managing committee and their minions.
What happened?
I know everyone likes to say that when Andy took over that was the start of things going downhill but clearly there must have been other changes too. This used to be a company that people were proud to work for but now it just seems like everyone is... — read more
All in favor of an acquisition in next 12 months?
Upvote if you favor this. Let’s hope it happens—some of the signs are beginning to show.
Running on empty after taking on too much
I wanted a safer job, so I kept saying yes, and now I’m basically doing the work of three people. Big mistake. Somehow, I get it all done, but my health is paying the price. Pretty sure I’m not the only one here feeling completely wrung out. — read more

Concern Over Budget Constraints and Leadership Priorities
It seems that while dedicated employees face layoffs due to ongoing budget constraints, senior leadership—including Dilip and Brian—continues to prioritize travel and vendor relationships, benefiting from the very cost-cutting measures affecting... — read more
Compensation
Anyone else notice the Strib article about CEO compensation increasing 14% last year? So glad even those with exceptional reviews got merit increases that still net out to a deficit in this economy.
Sapience
Anyone have any experience with this application and the use? Feels like a way to gather evidence for firing people under the muse of improving efficiency. I feel less and less invested in this company as I feel more and more like a useless... — read more

Fact Check: U.S. Bank’s Claim Doesn’t Hold Up.
U.S. Bank states it’s the only U.S.-based bank with an 11-year streak as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies—but that’s not the whole story. Thrivent, another U.S.-based financial institution, has held this recognition for 14 consecutive... — read more
Useless Agilists
Many companies have already moved away from Agile for the same reasons we’re experiencing. The current implementation of Agile at the bank is far from its intended purpose. Instead of fostering collaboration, efficiency, and innovation, it has become... — read more

Has anyone been successful in getting an exemption from RTO approved under the logic that none of your co-workers or contacts work in the same office? If not, what reasons have been used to get remote work approved?
Q2 Re-Org
Hearing a lot of Q2 Re-orgs.., what have you heard? New SCTA head? AI groups merging? BB re-org?
How does one "report" a high level exec?
I know it's very naïve question. But I have seen over my tenure here, some leaders have in fact been shown the door, suddenly. And not always for drastic things like s-xual harassment. How would someone go about reporting to the board total... — read more
Project Manager roles
Please spare the Project Managers don’t do anything jokes…but what is the best department to be a PM at the bank? I’m talking projects actually have some assigned resources, a chance of getting done on time, etc.
