Does anyone know if it’s moving to 5 days a week? I am borderline about to quit as is!

At this point, everyone should wonder, why we came to the rescue and had to pony up 5 billion dollars when the bank in itself is in a massive mess. Systems are broken/outdated, we are one Manilla/hyderabad away from another payment failure (CFPB... — read more 

I get it. You want to sell the company. Typical pattern. Reduce staff to a minimum. Cut every cost possible. Move all actual work offshore. Make it look very attractive to potential buyers. So how attractive would a company look when it’s customers... — read more 

Nice of Saul to share the responsibility for destroying Technology. Their fates will be the same. To use wave, you need some kind of machine. Company supplied kiosk/NUC or BYOD. Kiosks and NUCs need to be imaged. Can’t do that when COSMIC is broken... — read more

Whenever I go into the office the conversations I have are all centered around how much we hate RTO/looking for a new job/being stuck in pointless meetings all day/how WF is going downhill LOL

Over the years, I’ve worked on so many teams with people who do almost nothing, always claiming to be sick, taking leave, generally dropping the ball, ignoring emails, and are the definition of incompetent. What happens to them? Absolutely nothing... — read more

I don’t want to go back to the life I had before. I’ve never been closer to my family thanks to the extra time I get to spend with them instead of commuting. I still work hard. I do my full hours and then some. And I’ve never been happier. I hate... — read more

It’s probably too late, but you need to put on your big boy pants and fire Leo. I know he scares you. He scares everyone. He cannot harm you. You are the only one who can do this. He has decimated Technology. COSMIC is already failing and there’s 3... — read more

The MASSIVE layoff info posted here is a joke. 3/21 no wait 3/23. Not saying layoffs are not happening but there will never be a mass layoff all at once. Can we all agree on that?

Any insights on layoffs for tomorrow and what LOB it will impact?

Having served 5 years I received the email saying they'd be sending me a lucite plaque to use in my fireplace. Did it arrive, no, it's been 3 months. We can't even thank people for tolerating this he-l hole without screwing it up.

No more than 6600-ish but accounting for normal attrition, non-primary account closures, general clean-up I'd conservatively say 3300 have been displaced this month so far. Approx 1000 zz'd between 0001 and 0900 on 3/22, approx 1500 zz'd 3/21 +... — read more
