Just saw Truist is calling back all employees to 5 days a week. It’s getting harder and harder to find flexible work options https://www.bankingdive.com/news/truist-rto-employees-in-office-5-days-banking/805291/
If you are sick PLEASE stay home
I get it. We all have an “in office goal”. The rest of us want to stay healthy. Work with your manager if it means you aren’t going to hit your RTO numbers. It is disrespectful to disregard others and expose us to your germs for a swipe.

Of course it’s a rumor but…. Has anyone else heard of layoffs coming to the default world (Collections, Recovery, operations)? I have always had good connections here but I am relatively new. curious if someone else can validate what I heard. From... — read more
I appreciate you!
One of the most overused phrases I have heard at U.S. Bank is “I appreciate you!”. Word to the wise, stop using this phrase. You sound like an insincere fool. If you truly appreciate someone, show it in your ACTIONS not with empty words. Vampires... — read more
S-xism
Has anyone ever successfully reported a colleague for s-xism? I’m not sure what route to go but it’s an issue multiple people have noticed.
Nothing but problems.
I haven’t been here very long, but have had nothing but issues since I started here. The ageism, cronyism, favoritism, nepotism, s-xism is off the charts. Sprinkle in widespread ineffective management who do not give a sh-t about developing out your... — read more
Jodi’s Call- Layoffs
I know certain roles in RMC cannot be outsourced but curious what the rumblings are on where and when they will be doing layoffs?
All Colleague Townhall
Their fragile egos just refuse to take any accountability. Of course culture and morale are high when they don't have to answer to anyone (the board of directors asleep at the wheel), don't have to worry about being laid off, and collect fat bonus... — read more
Applicant Job Security Compromised
There is a significant HR policy violation in the retail banking unit. District and branch managers are conducting "backdoor background checks" by calling applicants' current employers to solicit references. This practice is entirely unprofessional... — read more

Just curious if there was potential growth/promotion for remote employees? Or do they only give opportunities to those who are near a hub..
Laid off
Just got my golden ticket recently. This is the 1st time I have been laid off so I reflected for about a day to soak it in after being here for over a decade. What a sense of relief it has been after that first day though. Since the layoff I found... — read more
To anyone struggling…
Please know it’s all going to work out. How management operates here says nothing about you or your worth. If you’re feeling stuck in a bad situation, reach out to your resources for help. Burnout is real and can keep you on the hamster wheel and... — read more
Never Seen a Company Lower Morale So Fast
Every single person I worked with liked their job couple of years ago. Now none of them do. We are talking close to 100 people, not 5 or 6. This place REALLY messed up morale. Everyone is either too overpaid to leave, trying to find a new job... — read more
Network tracking on work computer?
Anyone hearing a rumor about moving to track length of time laptop is connected on-premises to a USB network (not VPN)? Been hearing this in unrelated areas over the last few weeks, but it seems far too ‘big brother’. I know they can already track... — read more

Payments transformation you say…
GK isn’t messing around. J. Walker is out of Elavon and the CAO for PMI is leaving. Who’s next and what’s next for the hot mess that is all of payments inside of USB? Keep on transforming the bank GK 🤭

Wisconsin hub(s)
Layoffs in Wisconsin hubs? I read an article that stated a Wisconsin warn act was submitted effective November, but now I can’t find the article or anything on the dwd. Anyone have any intel on Wisconsin hubs or positions?
What's going on in Customer Remediation?
Or corporate compliance in general? All the leading stakeholders (CR director, program manager, compliance specialists, fair & responsible banking leaders, etc.) have mysteriously exited the bank and now I just saw someone post that CQA is pulling... — read more
4 days per week in office RTO coming?
Rumor from WCIB is that we will be expected in office 4 days a week. Guess they are trying voluntary layoffs again to get people to quit.
5 weeks in October- how many in office days
Are we going to be dinged if we aren't in office 15 days this month? Can anymore enlighten me on how the reporting is? 11 days or 3 days a week??
RTO- bank holiday/PTO
Was informed by manager we need to adjust our in office days when there is a bank holiday or we use pto to still be in office 3 days. Asked HR via chat and was informed this is correct and there is a new article that can be found through the myhr web... — read more
You are more than this job.
For the souls who have been mistreated, misaligned, belittled, humiliated, discriminated against, unfairly laid off, and/or had their confidence rocked by this sham of a company, please know you worth are so much more and capable of so much more... — read more
I think I'm finally done with this place
Every day I wake up dreading logging in. I’d honestly rather scrub floors than do this job anymore. That’s how far it’s gone. The stress isn’t worth the paycheck.
So basically, trickling layoffs for the foreseeable future?
Great. That’s really going to do wonders for morale.
USB opening GCCs in Chennai and Hyderabad?
Heard from grapevines that U.S. Bank is making moves to open GCCs (Global Capability Centers) of their own in Chennai and Hyderabad, in hush-hush deals. Could this be true? If so, HIRE (Halting International Relocation of Employment) Act, bill which... — read more
3Q Financials
I’m confused about what’s next. We have a mediocre-to good quarter financially but in the details there is info about us losing customers with close to 2-3% attrition per quarter. Does that mean our profits were the results of financial engineering... — read more

Badge swipes
How are they accurately measuring these? My coworker runs outside 6 times a day so does each time he badges in count towards his 12 day a month requirement? Does reporting show like 40 badge swipes?
Do we have any clue about the number of people laid off?
I’ve heard all kinds of numbers, with some rumors going as high as 7000. Nobody in my immediate team was affected, but we’re a fairly small group.
Areas affected by layoffs?
I know Risk has been affected. Any other areas so far? Mix of in-office and remote? Please share what you might know.
No one will claim to have lost a good job
I have great empathy for victims being let go. Ageism is alive and well. No one will claim to have lost a good job though. You lost a job with high stress, little chance of success, zero training, impossible deadlines, plenty of unhappiness all... — read more
Post-Elavon Era?
What's next?
Can somebody please post severance info?
Just to make sure nothing has changed and there have been no reductions.
So predictable
We have people who can be cut who contribute absolutely nothing. People who go from one meeting to another regurgitating the same points over and over again with nothing new being said or decided. Yet the ones being cut are the people who do actual... — read more
