In a day of social media, only 21 likes on the Intranet page for the townhall is quite embarrassing
RMC - no more inline promotions
Just heard it from a leader in RMC that JR in RMC doesn't believe in inline promotions anymore. You have to get a new job in the bank to get a promotion. Of course that only applies to people who are not remote. The only people getting promotions in... — read more
Is 11 days in office the real cutoff?
Factoring in vacation, sick days, holidays....how many days do people actually need to reach before getting flagged for not complying? I'm aware that eleven days equals 100 percent.
Bonus/LTI
I’ve heard a lot that merit was low this year. Can any leaders here shed light on what to expect for bonus and LTI? Assuming a meets expectation review
How to stay motivated?
Serious question. How are fellow employees staying motivated after low to zero expected rewards?
Loyalty doesn’t pay
Four years in and my last raise was only 2 percent, but a recruiter just reached out for a similar job that pays 15 percent more. It’s frustrating realizing staying put can cost you this much. Makes me wonder if loyalty to one company is really worth... — read more
What has happened to this company?
I left over a year and a half ago due to unethical behavior from management. Hearing from others and seeing what's written here, it sounds like US Bank is in a dumpster fire that just keeps burning with no end in site. You would think that people... — read more
Equal work = equal pay ?
How do they continue to defend and justify the pay discrepancies within the same job roles and functions? Especially with women or POC. 🤔
Check on your scrum master buddy - they laid off a few agilest
Who going to coach us on the next sprint?
Can we lay off the entire C-suite?
I don't think there's much to lose and there's certainly plenty to gain.
Where did severance policy go?
Any clue where the “severance policy” went? There used to be a laid out plan of what that looks like and now it seems like there are updates to the HR policies, but none that layout the specifics.
“Talk to your leader about comp concerns. We’ve tied their hands!”
We manage our employees. We’re supposed to push them for higher goals. But we don’t get to compensate the employees we want to.
Chief HRO is unbearable…
Not sure how you guys think
Ridiculous
This “All Colleagues Call” is a joke. GK’s tone alone was offensive, her words were so contrived and calculated. They are laying off in small groups to avoid having to report the true numbers due to Warn act! They think we are d-mb and we are not. ... — read more
Townhall
Expense management to priority #3, does this mean we are done with cost focused layoffs?!
Laid off in treasure mgmt
I was a product manager laid off with no notice. The severance package su-ks. Plus given less than 60 days of pay until I'm officially laid off from company. I think they are trying to get rid of Remote employees.
January RTO report
Is your January report available to view yet?
So tired of being asked to do more to make up for layoffs
I’m now being pressured to take on the work of another team that was let go when my own team was recently cut by more than 50%. I already can’t deal with the extra work left by the people who were let go on my team, let alone try to help another team... — read more
Glassdoor
I am incredulous that 50% of Glassdoor respondents would recommend US Bank to a friend and 30% approve of GK. These figures seem way too high. Do you think HR tracks these and comments to raise the numbers?
Overtime- Taxes
Does someone know what the difference between FLSA overtime and regular overtime is on payslip. I am curious why FLSA overtime for the no-tax-on-overtime for tax reporting.
Townhall tomorrow
Who’s ready for the Townhall? Anyone planning on posting a very legit, accountability question we all can thumbs up so it gets answered?
What’s the layoff strategy?
I know there are people active on this site that have been helpful as we’ve faced these recent layoffs. I’m curious if they, or anyone, has credible information on the strategy here. It seems this past round had a large focus on remote, performance... — read more
“Chief Administrative Officer” role at the bank
What does a CAO do? What does your BL’s CAO do? What are their responsibilities and are they really needed at the bank? I feel like it’s another inflated title for someone without a real role. What am I missing?
The final insult
Do it. Lay off the productive people again. Promote the ones who are best at politics. The company will keep declining, and I'll be long gone, relieved to not be part of the slow-motion train wreck anymore.
USB has lost the best of us
Veteran employee here. Never in my 20+ years here have I felt so stressed, so anxiety filled, so burnt out, and so diminished. Leaders at the top continue to use smoke in mirrors with what seems like government classified secrecy, while all the... — read more
Irrelevant Middle Management
If they are shifting employee led initiatives like employees are responsible for development efforts and writing their own individual goals. What's the point of top heavy management? We dont need them! They cause more risk to the company by being... — read more
CRT / EFCC
This should be concerning to U.S. Bank’s CEO: There is an ongoing concern regarding the excessive number of management positions within EFCC specifically CRT(Grade 14 and higher) within U.S. Bank. From an employee perspective, many of these roles... — read more

They just have to hold onto the money till the last minute. Each year merits and bonus payments seem later too!

Compensation increase?
Has anyone received their merit increase % yet? Trying to see what I should expect.
New Chairman
Let the unfettered McKinsey begin. Get that efficiency ration down now. Layoffs anyone,
Agile Leadership, lol
Let’s start by saying the quiet part out loud: most of the “agile leadership” still hanging around the bank looks like the clearance rack of corporate transformation. Folks who washed out of Best Buy and Target and couldn’t quite stick the landing... — read more
Is everyone OK?
Anyone else's manager losing their mind and creating insane and unclear and unreasonable expectations they cant even explain? Its like there is absolute no accountability for these middle managers running amuck reeking havok and creating chaos.
Being an overpaid su-kup is your biggest risk
It nice to feel better than the colleagues because the boss like you and pays you more. But when the eggheads at central office start running spreadsheets and who can get cut to save money, you stick out like a sore thumb and an easy choice to cull... — read more
Will we stay at 3 days hybrid?
Does a reporting dashboard going up mean that 3 days hybrid is here to stay?
RTO dashboard
It looks like one is now available
RTO
Rachael Clark told her group a few weeks ago that the bank is letting MN folks work from home until January 30, but she expected that to be extended. Has anyone heard if that has changed?
The latest tone deaf message from Gunjan
On a Sunday and of course no mention of safety measures and work from home for Minneapolis employees due to unrest. Typical clown CEO. Donate while I cut your jobs. Can she get any worse?
Can profits stop job cuts?
Serious question: has strong performance ever actually stopped a round of layoffs from happening? It seems like they happen no matter what.
