We all get it. The name of the game is profit-profit-PROFIT. Period. But talking to your everyday, hard working paycheck to paycheck employees as if THEY are the reason your company isn’t hitting the desired numbers is an unnecessary gross display of self righteousness and undue blame. Shaming the people who have poured their hearts and lives into their work at the bank for GOD FORBID wanting a little more stability and a work space that fits their post pandemic life needs was totally out of pocket, rude and UNFAIR. Want to increase productivity? Any dummy will tell you it starts with expressing gratitude and flexibility for the people who ALREADY MAKE A LOT SACRIFICES to work for you. But now NOBODY feels any more inspired to line your pockets today than we did before the meeting. Next time read the room. Know your audience. Don’t invite the peons to power parade and expect us to eat the cake. Save that sh** for the rich guys who want to hear how much lower employee care is than profit on your list of priorities. Despite your attempt to gaslight us, our morale IS in fact even lower after your theatrics yesterday, but don’t worry… we are all ready making LOTS of new friend, some of those friends being the media.

GK came from Wealth and Investment, this is normal behavior. Workers are considered lowly caste sub human to be replaced as high Bourne like herself desires, basically we are her slaves, that’s how she looks at us
This is on target, OP. Our new CEO does not have a clue about her audience.
Failures to meet shareholder expectations are not a failure of the addressed employees, it is a failure of bank leadership, an absence of items, an unawareness of the markets and environments they travel in and nothing from the town hall will change that failure,
U.S. Bank’s wealth and “investment banking” department is a third rate chop-shop compared to the rest of the industry, and the leaders there are doing nothing to improve that fact (including GK). That’s the part they don’t want you to know.
