Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

Stop talking about RTO, management is tired of your constant talk about RTO

That’s what management told us, stop talking about RTO and move on.

NO. We won’t stop talking about because you keep changing the rules and making up reasons RTO is beneficial, such as when RTO started, they said it was for security reasons.
That was an obvious lies about data security because all of our data is accessible by remote employees in India. Then they said it was collaboration, well, many of us sit by ourselves and talk to our team members all over the country, we don’t sit next to them.

Then they changed from 11 days a month to now 13 to 15 days a month, and we have to make up dates to be OVER 60 percent quarterly. And then they have the nerve to lie and say nothing has changed. And they said it was retroactive, so most of us came in 11 days and didn’t meet over 60 percent, now we get zero raise and Lower bonuses because of it.

And now they will soon require 8 days total log in time at the office, retroactive , again.
My manager said I was ok to work 6 hours in office and work the rest of the hours at home and avoid the heavy traffic. Now that is no longer ok in a couple of months, worse parts is it’s retroactive, they have the data, just not displayed for us in workday.

Why they continue to treat us salary exempt employees as hourly employees to be monitored to the seconds we are in office? What does this have to do with our job performance??

Well, there is a new plague coming from Russia. Soon Gunjan will start kissing our a-s and we will be praised again to work from home. Like nothing happened. These people are sick in the head.

You’re right. Continuing to talk about it has made it better. Oh wait, it’s actually gotten worse last 12 months.

Truth be told, I’m no fan of RTO. I think it’s mostly pointless this day and age, waste of time and money, and a way to try to get people to quit. I don’t like coming in any more than anyone. And yes, they’re lying about the reasons why.

That said, if you think Gunjan will change her mind about it because people are complaining, you’re not reading the tea leaves. She will only dig her heels in harder.

I’m sure this will get down voted and I’ll be a “bootlicker” but if so, point out anything I said here that isn’t true.

Collaboration my a$$! RTO execution was a sh-t-show from the start. Heads need to roll starting with ElZero

I wonder how much time and energy people are spending simply trying to meet an RTO requirement rather than focusing on their actual work. I’m sure many employees are jumping through hoops to satisfy a metric that has nothing to do with their role, while productivity and morale continue to suffer.

At some point, you have to question whether the organization picked the wrong battle and it seems like the consequences of that decision are starting to catch up with them.

The fact they pretend it’s about productivity and collaboration is hilarious; makes me have zero respect for this company. I will do the bare minimum until they lay me off with severance.

Not a single soul from my team is at my hub. I waste two hours of driving a day to sit in a dump of an office, and sit on teams calls.

@aj I know if at least a couple of people who are an unreasonable commute distance from a hub who are trying to go in once a week now. I hate it here.

@a9 my manager who once was remote and showed as online 8:45 most days, now has to report to a client service center and is online an hour later (I wonder why?). He doesn't seem happy and has to fight traffic day in and day out. Oh, btw, our team is spread out across the 6 states so it's a complete waste of time. So no, it's not about productivity.

They probably figure when they start paying us in rupees next year (Bank of India), that we will no longer be focused on the RTO sh!tshow.

"Now this is no longer ok in a couple of months" - did someone tell you for a fact that in a couple of months it will not be ok and that it will be retroactive? Or is this still collected speculation based on discussions on this site

I don't know about everyone else but my productivity has absolutely plummeted after these changes. I figure my experience is probably fairly representative, so I sold all my U.S. Bank investments. These decisions have created short term economic recovery for the bank, but long term? We're in deep trouble.

Exactly!! If leadership wants people to stop talking about RTO then they should stop constantly tightening the sc--ws and making it an issue. Focus on the work and not what location it’s done at!
