I'm sorry, but I'm tired and I want out - and I want them to pay me to leave. I've given enough to this place to walk away with nothing.

What color is the sky in your world?
I think the only thing that separates a lot of the people from the subcontinent and the legacy U.S. Bank workers is how much human fe--s those from the subcontinent are willing to eat.
One of the only solaces I have as someone in tech feeling how I do is coming here & reading the same thing from so many different people. This place makes me feel awful about myself. It's petty, gruelling, extremely low pay for serious coding & cloud knowledge, we're significantly understaffed, underappreciated, project timelines require a time machine to meet, & well, yeah bedbugs just -awesome-. This place has brought me to tears so many times & started as a great place to work, until the current leadership arrived & covid made everything wierd. Now, unless my name ends in -asharghatti or whatever there's just no chance at self-improvement, my career is at a dead end here. It is bone crushingly depressing realizing I've wasted 7 years of my life in such a superfund level toxic dumpsterfire of an environment. BUT I AM NOT ALONE. Keep telling myself: I'll get out unscathed, it has to work, I have to do it for myself, you're worth so much more as a human being, protect your mental health & gtfo.
@wq I think you're making this out to be a lot easier than it is in reality. The market is really rough right now, there isn't a way around it. By saying "it's not that bad" is simply untrue. Are there opportunities? Sure. But they get thousands of applications for every role open. So let's not pat people on the head and placate them with false hopes here.
There are plenty of opportunities outside the bank.
It's not as bad as people are making it out to be. Look at all the leadership that has left recently to take on new opportunities. They were not laid off....they found better opportunities.
They are not going to offer packages to anyone here you may as well get that out of your head as a possibility. They want people to quit so they don't have to pay you out.
They are desperate to get the stock price up and it appears their only strategy is to eliminate employees.
What I worry about most is finding a new job. I’m in marketing and the overall job market is pretty bad, even worse for people like me with 10+ years of experience. If I get laid off, I get a 6 month cushion but I’m not even sure that’s enough in this job market, as some folks have said it takes a year or more to land somewhere new. This bank has me by the ba--s and there’s nothing I can do.
Like others have said, I have given way too much to walk away empty handed. Give me a package and I will leave, and never look back. My mental health gets worse by the week at this bank.
Layoff would be a blessing at this point!!
@fc you had bed bugs in your office to!? Wow
Totally agree. Taking attendance like elementary school, worry about bedbugs at hub.
Our customers and shareholders deserve better.
Voluntary layoff would be great! Bank could pay the $100k h1b fee and replace me!
Same here, I’m a people leader in St. Paul and it is almost impossible to get up, go to work, and feel motivated these days. Our customers deserve better.
I come in the office and all I want to do is po-p on the toilet and get paid for it. Show them who's the boss!
I’m with you bud. Absolutely despise this company, it’s soulless. All anyone seems to care about lately is how many times I’m in the office. Feels like grade school.
@aa Don't hold your breath.
Omg you’re such a hero. Stop being lame and just quit.
A layoff would be my salvation. I’ve been with the bank 14 years and have risen to a grade 16, but I hate what this place has become.
I believe in technology, at least 40% would take a package. Unfortunately, the ones who should be booted in management will never leave.
I am hoping for a layoff too but don’t you think it’s dangerous to tell your manager you want to be laid off? Wouldn’t they then think you’re likely to quit anyway and not lay you off?
So brave!
Tell your manager. I've heard of some people requesting a severance package and getting it. I've already told my manager that I don't want to leave, but if he has to lay off someone, I want it to be me.
I feel the same way.
No, you must stay and quit from attrition...
Same here. Bank-wide voluntary layoffs need to happen asap.
