I thought the problems here were just part of working for a big bank until I left. Going somewhere similar showed me just how much I'd gotten used to.

I left months ago - best decision ever but wish I had left sooner -- wasted time. The work culture in US Bank is abusive and the employees become used to the abuse, so they stay like I did for way too long, kind of like a corporate Stockholm Syndrome. Always have a backup career or job so when you feel the need to run ... flight or fight reaction -- you have a place to go. Trying to "fix" US Bank will never work because it is severely broken, they are not worth the energy or the stress.
I mean it depends on how big your new company is. If they're smaller than US Bank then it's only a matter of time before they grow and do the same stuff. You're just kicking the can down the road. But hey if you're happy then enjoy
