Feels like Mortal Kombat after today's call and GK effectively telling us remote people we have no future.
We knew we had no future when they told us no more raise, no opportunity for promotion , etc.
But today, she just told us we will be all layoff.
And the reason is stupid, we do our job fine.
How is sending all the remote job to India making us a better Bank?
Why does she treat us like garbage?
@tz whatever is going to happen is going to happen regardless of any whining or lack thereof.
People will continue to bi--h until their previous working arrangements are restored, or they leave. I can't blame anyone. They yanked the rug out from under us and fu---d a lot of people over.
You could reach out to whoever your contact/s were during the interviewing/offer process with that employer in your town, and just be honest with them, to see if they might have a spot open for you now.
Even if it's not the same job they offered you previously, maybe they have contract work, or some other role available. Let them know that you're open to other options. If they liked you enough to offer you a job recently, they may be open to extending another offer to you now, or into the new year.
Just be upfront with them and (without badmouthing U.S. Bank) say that you were given information at the time which has since shifted, which has changed the status of your current position; and you regret not accepting their offer, because you were really interested in and excited about the work they're doing, etc. Try to spin it as if it wasn't so much your decision to blow them off previously, but more that you were led to believe by your current situation that X was happening, when in fact, it turned out to be Z.
Can't hurt to try!
This is why it's always best to leave things on a good note, even when turning down an offer, or getting rejected...you never know when you might need to reconnect later.
You saved all of their contact info. (name/s, email/s, phone #/s), correct?
If so, get back in touch with them.
And if they don't have anything now, ask if they know of anyone else who's currently looking to fill a role with your credentials and experience. Thank them for their time, and really put an all-out effort into getting hired somewhere new ASAP!
@jg yeah, it’s been the elephant in the room since then. Thing is, sh--s getting too deep to stay any longer.
@em I'm sorry but that was really fu--ing d-mb. You should have taken that job. The writing has been on the wall since last December
@em no timeframe. This wasn’t an announcement of layoffs. It was embedded in more RTO questions on the town hall. It sounded like she was giving the same message about our in office culture and remote workforce, except how and what she said this time. I think she said, or slipped, what leadership is managing towards but hasn’t explicitly said it… until the town hall. We have more remote roles than our business and clients can support, is what came out of her mouth.
Was a time frame presented? I am sc--wed! I live in an area with no decent jobs and I turned down one of the only good jobs in town because I thought my remote role was secure.
funny our business and client needs can support thousands of jobs in India though.
@ak I've seen this bullsh-t take on several threads now. The simple fact is that tens of CEOs & hundreds of executives here before GK evaluated the effecacy of offshoring & flatly rejected it except on a limited contractual basis EVERY TIME IT CAME UP. Only she & this MC have ripped-off the Americana & ruined us. We were publicly traded then too. Not every decision need be based on what every other bank does, that's part of our value proposition - that we are better than the other guys. So this argument of yours is bunk. It took only one Indian ethno-nationalist at the top to destroy this company & unravel hundreds of years of American heritage. It's disgusting & I reject apologists straight away, this was a choice, not a requirement.
Speaking of Mortal Combat, GK is going to FINISH US remote folks…replaced by India GCC, perfect combo
@a7 •••
(1:49:15) GK: “The total number of remote roles and people performing remote roles has become larger than our business and client needs can support.”
Write her name on a piece of paper and put it in your right shoe and walk all over her every day. This works like magic especially if we all do it. I did this with JR and poof the witch is gone. I’m going to do this with all MC names.
@OP its a public company, with many investors to answer too, it saves on costs - its not a hard thing to understand
@a9 this is a load of sh-t and you know it. She's just going to send these jobs to india
She said we have more remote people than needed.
She said something to the effect of remote rolls we have now are bigger than needed. They will most likely edit before releasing the replay. That’s what happened last Townhall.
Iwas multitasking but will watch the replay. At what point did she say that?
