Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

@dm Those are all things they should have done regardless. It’s astonishing to me what they’re taking credit for under the guise of listening to employees. If they really, truly didn’t have these ideas already, I think it underscores just how incredibly out of touch they are with their employees. The bank culture we once knew is long since gone.

@OP maybe the better question is - how many people have submitted a WE request and then were met with some type of retaliation. Despite what they say about having an open door, I find it hard to believe there is no retaliation for speaking the truth.

@ar @dm Assigned seating may have come from WE, but it is in no way a positive. It's driving the consolidation of employees into the four main hubs, the eventual full-time return to office for remaining employees, and the elimination of any location flexibility.

@dp people in the comments are whining it's a d-mb program & nothing will change. Maybe I wasn't referring to OP.

Submitted something in July, never heard back and the ticket has since been deleted from the system.

@dm who said anything about wanting anyone to whine? The OP asked a question and appears to have explained why a few times. What about that question makes you feel like they are wanting someone to whine about something? They even said they see the progress, what am I missing?

Actually I'm just as negative as anyone but there is some good with the WE stuff:

Assigned seating, changed the bright white desktop backgrounds, if you work oncall or over weekends that now counts as a RTO day (with extra process steps).

Sorry not going to whine about one of the few things actually working here.

@ar it does matter "who" submitted it in the grand scheme of things. Some of you who read and comment on this board with the obvious "go read the page" shyt is not needed. If you're a person with normal comprehension and questioning skills, the first place one goes to find information is from the source. So yes, I did go to the page.

From what I see on WE, the changes the are implementing are basic ones that everyone has asked for. I'm asking if anyone has submitted a change THEMSELVES and seen a change. Why? Because how do we know if they are actually listening to us or just making it seem like they are listening to us by cherry picking the biggest complaints.

Don't get me wrong, progress is progress and I am grateful for the changes that have been implemented. I'm just trying to see if this truly is a place where one employee can make a difference or if it's just a coverup appearing to do just that.

I've submitted a couple, so far I have not received anything other than a "its already in progress" and not seeing any matching "in progress" items on the board that match my inquiry. It seems like canned responses, per the usual.

WE is a way for them to act like they care and are doing something but its a known joke. If they cared about workplace excellence they would get better office space in desirable locations and would put money into the locations to make it nice. Every location I’ve seen has been disgusting and outdated. Corporate properties should be ashamed.

@ak I've submitted two suggestions and gotten a templated NO from the MC on one and a personalized Maybe from HR on the other. I'm not going to be specific for reasons that should be obvious. They're not likely to take any meaningful action based on one employee's input. Just about everything they've done so far is based on trending input, so you aren't likely to find individual success stories here.

@ak does it matter where it came from? All I care about is that changes are being made. I’ve benefited from a few now. Specifically not having to keep some stupid record of my in office days when I travel or am off HUB location but working. We (as in MANY employees) asked for travel and offsite days to be tracked somehow, and now it is.
We (as in many) asked to have assigned seating where this was possible, and now it is.
Who submitted it is irrelevant and I agree with previous poster to actually go read before seeking answers here.

@a8 pretty easy to know what I’m looking for. Has anyone submitted a ticket and seen positive results. We have no clue where what they posted on the board came from.

There will never be something done by any mega-corp that will enhance the lives of the workers, no.

The changes they make are fully documented in the WE site so I'm not sure what you're looking for here.
