My takeaway from today’s call and the chatter on this board is that RTO monitoring as it stands, is a credibility problem of our own making. We are asking employees to comply with a policy that many in leadership (including HR) itself is not... — read more
Imagine if they had incentives instead of punishment and cuts on a whim
Maybe then they wouldn't need to spend so much energy controlling us. Old concept, I know. But today's corporations seem to have forgotten it completely.
8 hours in office??? This real!???
Someone said when they asked if in office mean 6 hours or 8 hours and the response was they are tracking people to be in office 8 hours . Wtf! This can’t be real, no one is staying exactly 8 hours a day in office This isn’t real Or is it!???
TTUS - boycott or not?
Is it more effective to answer the TTUS survey or to skip it altogether? Also, they say the survey is confidential, but they never say it is anonymous, which makes me less likely to want to tell them what I truly think.
Time tracking requirement for RTO
People on this forum need to start citing real evidence. No more rumors with no proof.
RTO and IP tracking
Here’s what’s going on: If you are hybrid, you need to be showing up in office for full days (6+ hours) 3+ days a week. This is now in Workday as a goal. 3+ days, nothing new. Why 6+, because that’s classified as a full day. This is due to people... — read more
RTO - New Requirements. Is it True?
6-Hour Minimum Requirement for In-Office Time Effective immediately (although April 1 is a start date) Reporting will look for 8 hours but minimum is 6 hours No exceptions (unless people are out of office for sick time, vacation, approved leave... — read more
Sale to Citigroup Immanent
The articles that just came out about the rumors of Citi seeking to acquire a regional bank speculate about PNC and Truist but it will be USB. The McKinsey mafia will ensure Kedia has a role at the combined organization.
Tracking RTO
If youre going to track hours of employees complying with RTO and "fire" them for not making 6 or more hours a day then fire the remote employees first because it's completely unfair they arent under the same scrutiny.
Reporting to management what days we plan on being in office
Was informed we need to be telling management what 3 days we are going to be in office each week. If we need to change a day we need to be letting management know. This feels beyond the rto requirements. If we are hitting our 11 days a month why does... — read more
Just received confirmation that they are now tracking us for 6 hours in office via IP tracking
So that’s why they have that stupid new goal about being present in office or some garbage. Man, what about those of us that take long and frequent bathroom break because we are old and have fiber and bladder problems??? Every trip to p-e takes over... — read more
When Leadership Prioritizes Itself Over Its People
I can’t confirm whether every rumor going around is true, but I can speak to what many of us see and feel inside the team. There’s a clear sense of favoritism and decisions that don’t always seem based on merit. It’s also concerning to watch the CEO... — read more
VPN Issues
Hi - my VPN used to stay connected for about 20 hours. Now, if I go eat lunch for an hour and come back my emails haven’t updated and say no internet on Teams. This will happen after work as well. So basically it will stop connection if I’m away for... — read more

Elavon Board
The Layoff used to have a board dedicated to Elavon, I do not see that anymore. Anyone know if it still exists or if it's been replaced?
Happy Gilmore business
Thank goodness they spent the money for the visibility in Happy Gilmore. Smart move! All the business pouring in from that is saving jobs and a major factor in the bank's generosity with its employees.
Employee appreciation week
Wow! This year’s employee appreciation week is an absolute joke. An article that links to a viva engage post with no engagement. A cr-ppy ecard from the CEO. Way to phone it in and check the box. That’s an HR fail.
Gunjan Salary
Want to hear a joke? Gunjan made 16 million in total pay last year. My best friend JR made 10 million. Meanwhile the people whose hard work this company made record-breaking profits on are told that the money isn't there for bonuses or raises... — read more
Is anybody else constantly worried about layoffs?
Even without any rumors, even without any announcements, all I can think about every single day is what's going to happen if I lose my job to cuts. I wasn't like this before, I swear. But with all the small and large cuts in the last few years, I... — read more
Talk To Us Survey
Is it even worth filling it out? Executive Mgmt doesn’t care.
Being laid off would have been better
They eliminated my position and moved me into something completely different with zero training or support. No one ever explained what success looked like, no one checked in to see if I was managing. It feels less like a reassignment and more like... — read more
Energy Crisis and RTO
Denmark is encouraging people to stay home and use less gas. Hmm... Novel idea. Be green. RtO can GTH!

Great, don't take anonymous questions ahead of time, you will just delete them and also delete live questions. Seriously why even attend.

I would love to see some numbers on RTO
You know - increased efficiency, better outcomes. Measurable effects of increased collaboration. By how much people became more creative and better at problem solving. And of course, how much happier and healthier we are from coming into the office... — read more
Layoff at retirement age
I have nearly 15 years at the bank and am at retirement age. If I were laid off, would I still receive all my retirement benefits, along with any severance they might offer? Or would I be better off retiring before I get laid off? I fully expect more... — read more
Targeting signs?
Can anyone share signs I should be seeing if I’m being targeted by my leader for a push out? I’ve been feeling like I’m receiving disparate treatment and I don’t know if it’s real or perceived because of the chaos in the company right now.
RTO IP Tracking
I heard from my manager they are in the process of setting up IP tracking to determine how many hours a week you are in the office - presumably with end goal to have dashboard like 11 RTO days but now including how many hours your IP showed you in... — read more
Relocation possible?
I’m currently remote and looking to relocate with my spouse, who just received a great offer in a different city. While the bank doesn't have an office in that specific city, it does operate within that state (the nearest office is about 4 hours away... — read more
Layoffs this week
Starting to hear of the March round taking shape. Know of 1 in HR. What’s everyone else seeing?
They eliminated a role on my team and just dumped the work on me
No extra pay, no discussion, just "figure it out." I'm doing two jobs and burning out fast. Anyone else dealing with this?
Marketing emails
Is anyone else receiving marketing emails (who is not a customer) and unable to locate an unsubscribe link on the email? I have been searching and cannot locate it anywhere. I closed my accounts quite some time ago and still getting spammed. The fact... — read more

Fidelity: Vote now! U.S. BANCORP Annual Meeting
If you've gotten the Fidelity email, VOTE. It is some of the little power we have to make our dissatisfaction known.
Laid off and immediately replaced
Help me understand how 1 team lays off one employee and then pulls another employee from a different team to fill a position on the team they just laid someone off on? Couldn't they have transferred the employee they just laid off?
Business Underwriting

What the degree got me at US Bank
