Is this going to be an interesting year as it relates to US Bank layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Everything looked much more professional
I may have become too bitter over the years, but I think everything was much more professional in the past. Where has all the professionalism gone? It is as if the standards have been lowered to the maximum. I just hope to go into retirement before... — read more
USB couldn't care less about us
Numerous frustrations arise precisely because many are reluctant to accept the fact that USB does not care at all for its employees. I don’t remember that USB has ever, by any means, showed that they cared about us, or at least for a few of the... — read more
More in November?
After the usual October layoffs and what's coming on November 1, can we expect more next month or will that be it?
TOSSed SALAD!
The TOSS Management Ingelligencia are up to some of their old tricks! I've heard some older folks are suddenly "Retiring" whether they planned to or not. One that I know personally, can't be reached for comment... I think I can smell NDA... — read more
So...is USB finally hanging on to their experienced work force in the wake of nationwide hiring woes?
No activity on this site in the infamous first weeks of October tells me that USB TOS is hurting from all the outsourcing and annual cuts of experienced technical workers. This latest debacle acquisition probably has everyone left there, working 60... — read more
October 1st was announced layoff of call center employees
Wonder what other departments are let go that we don’t know of. I bet there were plenty announced on October 1st and more coming. Happy holidays USBers
No outbound calling department
It’s official - no Outbound department effective 11/01/2021. Andy Fuckere at it again ….cut throat.
Will USB require vaccination for employment?
Thoughts? Will you get the vaccine to remain employed?
Target groups
Is it true that those who haven’t been here much longer than a year are also just as likely to be targeted for cuts as are older employees with years of experience? That's what I heard from several colleagues.
Class Action Against US Bank
The law firm Izard Kindall & Raabe is investigating whether US Bank is underpaying retirees who are collecting pension benefits. If you left US Bank and began collecting a jo--t and survivor annuity from US Bank in the last 6 years and want to see... — read more
Acquisition RIF
With the acquisition of Union Bank, are there any RIFs expected? Usually with M&As, leadership inventories human capital and cuts out redundancies…
Thoughts On USB Requesting Personal Info
So, I know it's best to leave USB as quickly as possible. I've had multiple people retire early and tell me to leave immediately. I've noticed they've started insisting on having personal information, vaccine status as well as personal contact info... — read more
October is coming
We must be about 4-5 weeks from the next round of layoffs. What are folks hearing? Any idea which areas will be hit? Expecting the TOS s--t show will get hit as they continue to get rid of Americans and hire more from India.
Few people are still planning on staying with US Bank until retirement
Be honest, how many of those who visit this forum regularly plan to still be here a year or a maximum of two from now? I'll admit right now that I don't. Too many changes, too many shortcuts taken that end up being detrimental to employees, too much... — read more
Cognizant under fire
United States District Judge for the District of New Jersey, Peter Sheridan, said last week that Cognizant had an obligation to pay the appropriate fee for the privileges associated with its desired visa. The company had argued that the FCA did not... — read more
Are all these branch closures really necessary?
I used to be anxious of any mention that someone was laid off but now I’m almost completely indifferent to rumors of branch closing in the fall. I believe it will not be nice here in October and I feel sorry for those who will be affected, but I was... — read more
So tired
Are you also exhausted to the maximum? I don’t know if I’m more tired of the amount of work that several people should be doing or the completely unreasonable new manager. USB has always squeezed people but lately it's out of control. I am mentally... — read more
More branch closures ahead
If you think your job it safe, wait till October Sh-t show. Some branch managers have already gotten the heads up, if you see branch managers moving to one location to other, that’s your sign to start covering yourself and your families
Hybrid in Sept
Employees have long expressed their concerns with going back to the office too soon. And now look..... the CEO is already saying he wants us to start wearing masks again. Google and Facebook are already telling their employees they are delaying their... — read more
Managers without a Clue
I live in an area of Montana where the two (HUB) Managers in our market decided to switch up banking hours so that all employees go to lunch at the same time and before this they thought it was a good idea to only open the Lobby from 10-2.. On top of... — read more
Most us bank managers are lazy and incompetent
A lot of them don’t know simple decision making skills
You know when it’s time…
For over a year I’ve had that “sinking” pit in my stomach each time Sunday night came to an end. I’d feel anxious and dread coming into work on Monday’s with a passion. I used to love working here at one time but it’s no longer the company I enjoyed... — read more
Stop writing about childcare on Yammer!
If you're working remote currently and caring for an infant or young child fulltime, a year after most lockdowns ended, keep that information to yourself. Definitely stop complaining about the cost of child care on Yammer in response to having to go... — read more
Tell me I'm not alone.
I worked for TOS at USBank for more than 20 years. The first 10 years were fine. Then they started moving me from job to job like a pawn on their giant chessboard. Assigned to managers who didn't know me to do tasks I'd never done...mastering them... — read more
Moved without being consulted?
That shouldn’t be happening but it is happening. In case this happens to me again, I will give notice because it is really disrespectful and unprofessional. I just wonder how often this happens and why do they do it that way? It is horrible what... — read more
Commercial Lending Teams
In my market we have a commercial team of 4. But the commercial team stopped lending in our market for 12 months and they also were working from home for the last 15 months. While other banks are writing a ton of commercial loans. So my question is... — read more
Bonus wrongfully cancelled
Worked a full year, got a stellar review and was granted 200+ shares. Then, and during the following year, got a new manager (hired from the outside) whose mission became to criticize everything from my arrival time to making corrections to my... — read more
Worth pursing action for wrongful termination?
I wont get into the whole story...but last year I was fired for specifically "a false/unfounded HR complaint" and violation of using skype...(complaining of the workplace toxicity). I had complained through the textbook ethics channels against my... — read more
Will U.S. Bank ?
In May 2021, Bank of America said they plan to set the minimum wage for all positions there to $25 an hour by 2025. Bank of America raised its minimum wage to $15 an hour in 2017, to $17 an hour in 2019, and to $20 an hour last year. According to... — read more
Growing criticism?
I have a manager who is the main reason why I will leave this company. I would understand if he had some strong and valid arguments for criticizing my work, but no. Lately I have a feeling that all he is doing is looking for even the slightest reason... — read more
No vision, no direction
I wonder where and when this company lost its compass? Where is this going? Does anyone know? It is very difficult to work in a company where there is no vision. Unfortunately, it’s a big red flag that things can only get worse. I am afraid... — read more
A worrying trend?
Does it seem to you that more people than ever are leaving this company? I know two great young and talented people who gave notice last week. Those at the top make a lot of mistakes if they think that the same rules apply now as they did a long... — read more
Tons of work
I'm too tired. I have had so much work for months that stress has already started to have a significant impact on my health. How is it possible to do the amount of work for 3 people and to have everything done perfectly? Perfection is required here... — read more
People are overreacting
The 65% going to the hybrid model are "generally" expected to be in office 3 days a week. Has no one actually noticed the word generally in the announcement?? This isn't the first time what they're calling hybrid has existed at US Bank. It's just new... — read more
Truth
Employers like US Bank are ideally looking for an employee with the wisdom of a 50 year old, the experience of a 40 year old, the drive of a 30 year old, and the pay scale of a 20 year old. If this isn't true, I don't know what is. They want all... — read more
Thoughts on RTW
What are your thoughts about the return to work scenario that has been put into place?
U.S. Bank website is absolute cr-p
The U.S. Bank website just got a "facelift" and look at it. This is an indication of the level of trouble TOS is in. Totally clueless design and half of the functionality doesn't work. Had to use the mobile app to do Bill Pay and any payments as... — read more
