Hey Billie D! Let’s see how well the bank does this quarter coming up with lower productivity because you can’t adapt to modern time and need to save face with all of the real estate you purchased by displacing employees who could manage work life... — read more 

Started back to work and thought I’d take advantage of $5 North Shore Parking with a shuttle to and from downtown Pittsburgh. Because I don’t have the extra money to spend like most of us. What a bust. Shuttles weren’t running every 15 to 20 minutes... — read more 

We can't do our jobs from home, but our jobs can be outsourced to a completely different country on another continent. So they can do the same jobs we supposedly can't do from home, from India or wherever else? Make it make sense, please.

Work for a satellite office, don’t see much of a difference. Are they just tracking badge swipes at worst? I highly doubt this is enforceable across a 50k employee base

Went in-office for work today, and thankfully no one showed up so I can conduct my virtual meetings in peace. Happy Mental Health Awareness month!!!

If they want me gone, they’re going to have to pay me for it. I’m not playing along with this RTO-driven attrition strategy. Hopefully people see it for what it is and don’t just hand them what they want.

Working from home gave us flexibility that so many of us repaid by being available at all times. That's about to be gone. No more working after hours, no more responding to late mails, no more giving extra. If we’re back in the office, we’re working... — read more 

Can’t believe it’s here. Is anyone planning to skip this id--tic “mandate”? I have been remote 13 years in this company. Now I have to go sit in a random office by myself and do the exact same thing I would do at home. Thinking of skipping and... — read more 

Single parent here. I have to send my kids to live with their grandparents this summer, over 120 miles away because I cannot afford summer camps or day cares. I'll get see them 2 days a week on weekends, whenever I'm NOT on-call.

A sad day today. Fellow coworkers I’ve known for years are calling it quits today because of poor leadership, terrible pay, extremely sub-par raises and a crushing economy. But the real nail in the coffin, an expensive and pointless RTO5 policy... — read more 

I went through the ADA accommodation process for 100% remote work, submitted medical documentation, and received written approval. After that approval, I was verbally told by business leadership that I still need to report onsite 3 days per... — read more 

If we all just ignored the new RTO requirement. What could they do to all of us?

This entire thing will fall apart before it even begins on the 4th if we don't start getting some sort of direction. For example, I have to get my kids on/off the bus in the morn/afternoon. Is 9-2 or 10-3 acceptable in-office time? Who knows! What I... — read more 

Just please lets all look out for each other, and do what we are told. It's awful but working in an office beats getting fired for non-compliance and then not having one to work in at all... After all, it's what we all make of it.

Hour long meeting full of insults. The idea that working in office will foster conversation and innovation is, as someone else has said, a fat load of kwap. There are SO many reasons for why this isn't going to go well on the 4th, but I don't want to... — read more 

For months conversations have swirled around a changing risk environment @PNC and today, unfortunately several folks in Risk, Compliance and i believe the change office were displaced after an organizational realignment. This comes on the heals of... — read more 

In Compliance and we had some layoffs. We were told there were more coming. Any other groups get hit today?

Bummer - PNC Bank Cuts 777 Jobs After Acquisition. Google it.

Got the RTO communication and this line stuck out: “Seating is prioritized for employees first, with unassigned areas and seats an option for contractors on an as-available, first-come, first-served basis” Read that carefully. They aren’t saying... — read more 

I heard through the grapevine that a certain role in the private bank is being switched to remote ahead of the RTO mandate. This role has pretty much ignored all previous in-office mandates and is 90% men. Not a good look. Managers in other roles are... — read more 

I'm not going to waste time going on and on about the same things but who is actually going in to work at 8/9 and staying till 5pm? Obviously RTO 5 days means working from the office all 5 days but there's no way in he-l the majority is willingly... — read more 

I haven’t left my house since, ya know, the global pandemic that ravaged our world sent us all to WFH. So this new and unexpected RTO has taken a major toll on my anxiety. My therapist wrote me a note to take to HR, detailing my agoraphobia... — read more 

What is this nonsensical RTO mandate going to cost you? Is RTO really all about foot traffic to justify the real estate investment? Are we secretly being used as pawns but told its for culture and collaboration but at the same time becoming a huge... — read more 

Did anyone else notice in the Kwapcast how they're already starting to soften the language about RTO? It was indicated that the reason they didn't go for a 3 day RTO is because they felt like they'd only be able to get people to do 1 and it was... — read more 

Hi. Any PNC corporate travelers out there? What are the real meal expense limits? Is it truly $20 for breakfast, $0 for lunch, and $40 for dinner? Also, are the meal time windows strictly observed? Thanks.

Another wave of RTO emails went out today. Just like this place to send out bad news on a Friday. RTO date set for June 15th for those who got the email.

Anyone notice that the compensation bands have been removed from the internal site? When asked, HR stated that the information has been removed for undisclosed reasons. Thoughts? Theories?

They had a meeting today with Branch managers and are announcing it to ABMs tomorrow. They will have until June 3rd to find a new job with PNC or otherwise

Gas prices jumping just in time for return to office! Who else is stoked?! Good thing my comp review rewarded me 800 extra dollars for the whole year! Just in time

Inspirational stuff from the 2026 Proxy Statement. Bill’s total compensation jumped from $22M to over $29M (32%) this year. Meanwhile, in the cubicles, we’re out here debating if our 1.5% merit raise covers the gas for the new 5-day RTO mandate... — read more

I know this a layoff forum so I apologize in advance if this sounds insensitive. Just trying to get a feel for the company since it’s 3 years before 401k/pension vest.

I’m considering an offer at PNC but want to know what it’s actually like. Is it five full days? Do people badge in and then leave at lunch and work the rest of the day at home? I don’t think I can ever go back to five full days but the role seems... — read more 

Heard through the grapevine people in HR have said that they expected more attrition after the 5 day RTO was announced. So from this you could infer that a major goal, if not THE goal of this was to reduce headcount. Also this means that layoffs are... — read more
