Now it’s the same thing… just with “AI” copy-pasted on every slide. Principal Architects running the show, somehow always in the room, rarely in the outcome. They don’t build. They don’t run. But they definitely “align.” Every problem gets a... — read more 

They’re closing the HUB closest to my home. Is this happening in other areas too? I wonder if it’s because employees weren’t showing up.

While the culture is terrible, one thing the bank does offer is the Skills Academy. This is a huge opportunity to gather and learn new skills for your next opportunity. Not many companies offer this type or level of learning. Take advantage of this... — read more 

Good managers will do their best to learn the job so they can be an asset to the team. Good managers will not push their direct reports off on someone else because they do not have the answer and do not care to learn along with the team.

I am considering a role in private wealth in Minnesota. Reading through these posts, there seems to be a lot of employee frustration. It seems much of it is around RTO and it appears much of that may be in other business lines. Can someone in private... — read more 

I hope everyone is well, and GK and the Management Committee - if you see this, I hope you go to therapy and heal your ruthless souls.

Stop offshoring our jobs! Requesting Americans to be our customer service reps.

"New desktop wallpaper (background image): For brand consistency, this update overrides all previous wallpaper images you may have created and initially will not be able to be modified." What in the absolute feck. We're not even allowed to pick our... — read more 

Is favoritism a common thing in your department? Manager overlooks/makes exception for a certain employee but either micromanages or ignores the rest of the team.

How do I get my free shoes? We only get ice cubes for free at our hub office?

Since upper management is not listening… not sure if they will. We as a collective should make a statement. Next town hall with GK we should not attend. Does anyone think that would make a statement?!?? Just wondering what we can do…

Do not contact me after hours because there is a fire drill and do not expect me to work even one minute past quitting time. I’ll also put in very minimal effort. That’s what you get when you don’t give raises and you don’t respect employees.

22 days x .60 =13.2. To hit 60 percent, we have to hit at least 14 days or get written up for non compliance????

My manager apologized to me for the poor bonus and raise and he indicated my compensation has nothing to do to do with my performance last year, which was outstanding. He said this is what he was given, would habe loved to give everyone that deserved... — read more 

Like everything else here, it's just performative nonsense. Complete time sink. And irritating beyond belief.

This is just a reminder to everyone that we have the ability to vote for or against the board members that deny us raises and approve the salaries and bonuses for the MC. Use them. Later this year when the voting comes about USE YOUR VOTE. They... — read more 

Why even ask this question and upvote it, what did you think they’d say, 4 hours? The real question was are they tracking hours in order for it to count as an office day.

“What can I do to improve, boss? “ asks a remote employee. “Well, I have nothing for you. Move to a hub and that should solve the comp issue.”

Wow!!! Blamed to managers .

What a tool

No raises for thousands but keep millions for GK and her creepy MC? Cutting more and more benefits all the time? Worst RTO in the industry that shows they don’t care about families and work life balance? Failed corporate real estate strategy that... — read more 

Are all the questions being blocked? Nothing is coming through.

Let’s see how this goes!!

So let me get this straight… Leadership just rolled out a “neighborhood seating” plan to reduce coordination costs by literally assigning people to sit closer to executives. Because apparently the problem all along was… proximity? What did we do... — read more 

We were a smaller bank that loved its people. Like the year we all donated 2 days of vacation to save employees from being laid-off? Or the time we took stock options instead of a full bonus or when you could still volunteer at your church, helping... — read more 

We lost too many folks lately to quitting. Why are you doing this horrible leadership favors? They're overjoyed whenever anybody leaves because that means they save money on severance. Just wait it out. At this point, it's a matter of time before... — read more 

GK wanting us to be a category 2 bank is the real reason for RTO and offshoring more and more. Buildings give us more assets and offshoring more of a global footprint. Research to learn more. Not about collaboration, which we already knew.

I work for US Bank's competitor and out of curiousity checked this site. I see a lot of uproar about RTO...believe me, we also went through it in 2022. My advice to all of you is to be careful. If they aren't checking your in network office time... — read more 

For those who worked through the late 1990, what's one thing you're glad younger folks won't have to put up with? I remember printing out hundreds of pages just to review a document and having to track changes by hand with a pen. The paper cuts... — read more 

Has anyone NOT signed their agreement? I wonder who all received this agreement- was it the entire company? I received a wonderful, threatening email today saying we have to sign by 6/30 or you will not be eligible to receive pending or future... — read more 

Let me describe how this place works. First pillar, punishment. Make a small error and they'll remind you for months. Second pillar, fear. Nobody feels safe. Everyone's waiting for the other shoe to drop. Third pillar, favoritism. Certain people can... — read more 

If RTO policies are enforced with strict measurement, tracking, and compliance expectations across employees, why doesn’t the same rigor apply to Cloud leadership (Head of Cloud and his directs)? GL17/GL18 leaders—many already significantly... — read more 

If anyone is negatively impacted by "not meeting the RTO goal" and is fired, you better run and file a case. Document that they admitted their data and reporting was inaccurate and inconsistent. They falsified reporting!!! Also, its a tad bit... — read more 

Taking mental sick days is my new norm here. They fu-k with you to the point everything is not okay and I need time to calm my nerves. This is the first time I’ve felt like this in the 19 years I’ve been here.

So Elcio today said a minimum of 8 hours a day in office in order for it to count as being in office, no exceptions. But also today, the guy in charge of Operations, we over 2000 people on a call said it is understandable if you have to work 6 hours... — read more 

Such a waste of time. The only measurable outcome is my rising blood pressure.

Oh, we finally got ourselves a middle manager, after over a year of blissful independence, purely so someone could tick the “yes, we have one” box. Never mind that our team handles complex fintech systems with intricate backends and high-risk... — read more 

The amount of people doing d-mb math trying to "calculate" a 60% in this forum is both hilarious and worrying. Maybe it's because of then we all have to go back in. Gotta micro manage their excel sheet formulas lol

Infecting healthy people, meaning more people will have to ask for PTO to recover and less and less people will be available to do the job. Well done corporate! Going back to square 1. Great leadership, very smart!
