Quite a few people are reporting layoffs in different departments. So sorry for all affected today. Good luck to the rest of us.
Child care issues
I am having a very hard time finding decent day care close by my home for my 6 month old and 3 year old. Will I be able to get some sort of exemption from RTO until I can find something? I told my manager my day care closed but I believe she knows... — read more
RTO- Dell?
Dell told all sales staff to return to the office five days a week, giving two days' notice. Do we think we will be back in the office 5 days a week soon? I say they announce 5 days in office will be expected by January 1. They have been going about... — read more
Layoff?
Any idea which specific departments are being impacted next week? Also does anyone know what happens to our pensions if we are laid off (and fully vested)?
What is going on in Enterprise Infrastructure (part of TOS)?
Ajit Zadgaonkar’s departure was announced today and it seems like he was let go. There is also a ‘mandatory organizational update’ for Enterprise Services on Tuesday morning, the 15th. This smells like layoffs.. anyone have more insight? — read more
What is your opinion about forming a union?
Maybe we should form a Union? I will be honest I don’t know the in’s and out’s of a union. But maybe that would give the worker’s a better voice and better work conditions. Hold the company more accountable to there work force. Just a thought. — read more
Reminder about how WARN works
As I have said before the WARN act doesn’t apply unless people are all dismissed at the same site. No one cares if it’s a few dozen people at a few dozen sites. This has been the case for decades now, at most businesses. Companies are pulling their... — read more
So the plan is to keep us in suspense until we all break down or what?
What’s the point? How about they show, for once, a modicum of some respect and let us know what is going on with layoffs. I’m tired of being treated like an equal to a chair I sit on in the office. We all have lives to live, bills to pay, jobs to... — read more

And are you going to fight back?
Sorry for whomever gets laid off this coming round
I, personally, can’t wait to be booted. I’ve been here for a long time, and have been wanting to leave for while now. Figured I would also go for a complete career change. I’ve had enough of banking for three lifetimes. I just hope they laid me off... — read more
Layoffs end of this week and next
Layoffs - Large and wide. It was pushed back because of Yammer post of employee telling all those impacted to contact their local news organization about the constant cuts. Now that has died down expect more cuts.
Merry Early Christmas From US Bank!
I get to commute an extra 120+ miles and 4-6 hours a week to a prison compound in Gresham starting in lovely rainy December! All so I can better collaborate with my team two time zones away! What joy!

I don't think morale can get any lower
The only time you see anyone smiling is when someone cracks a joke about how bad things have gotten or when they're taking a jab at management.

Leadership wants to use AI so they can replace the accent of someone in India with the accent of Texas so it sounds like they are talking to someone without an accent. Will they replace the people in Minnesota since they have the Minnesota nice... — read more
They don't care
The RTO mandate proves once and for all that the management doesn't care about employees. They don't give a damn about our mental health. They don't care that they promised some of us remote work and are now going back on it. They couldn't care less... — read more
Offshoring jobs to India…. What?
Since 2020 to present US Bank has been offshoring jobs to India. It started with IT and now financial spreading employees. This does not feel right at all. Be interested in hear comments on this.
This place is depressing.
Thai is by far- the most depressing and dysfunctional circus I have worked in. I am a newer employee and have no idea how some of these individuals have gotten so high up and ahead. Also- where is my manager? This person doesn’t even engage unless... — read more
RTO - Leaders\Managers
Anyone know what is being done with all the leaders\managers who are outside of whatever radius they are using for RTO? The hypocrisy around demanding that folks come in 3 days a week, yet not leading by example isn't a good look. One would assume... — read more

U.S. Bank PR Image

RTO mandate by US Bank is a recipe for inequity and discrimination
The banks decision to mandate a blanket return to office policy for employees primarily driven by their geographical location of a 30 mile radius from a hub is a move that fosters inequity, disproportionately burdens protected communities, and places... — read more
Hostile and stressful work atmosphere
It would be one thing if layoffs got rid of low performers. Instead, no matter how hard we work we can't consider ourselves safe. How is that good for morale in any shape or form? It has come to the point where people are leaving on their own to get... — read more
What I'll never understand about RTO
Senior leadership must think we are d-mb. Companies made record profits over the pandemic, chose to expand their workforce, CHOSE to buy another bank, etc. But with cost of living basically double, they think it's no big deal for us to go back in at... — read more
I’m hoping to be laid off during the October round
