I noticed in Workday today that beyond just the three day RTO guideline, U.S. Bank is now including TTUS survey participation in one of the pre-written perf goals. Who else is seeing this? They did not have anything like this in the pre-written... — read more 

Do you feel like there is now more or less room for growth after the re-org? Or do you feel that the organization will play favorites? Any advice on career growth?

Buckle up.

Update on the RTO process just came out today, but still not much information for those remote employees no where near a HUB or a client center.

Anyone else hearing that the Elavon CEO (JW) was asked to step down? Rumors are payment processing being moved to US Bank and Elavon dissolving? Not sure if true but that’s on the mill. lol

Is there a software that’s being used to calculate miles from the office for each employee? Or is someone manually checking in google and taking an average of the routes to calculate? Anyone know? Seems like it could swing in different directions if... — read more

I've heard a few people mention layoffs on 4/19, does anybody know more about what that could be about? Friday is a weird day for layoffs (mostly they take place midweek, Tuesday through Thursday) so I'm not putting much stock into those rumors, but... — read more 

Maybe Andy and the managing committee should take the hint from this CEO https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/29/owl-labs-ceo-top-things-bad-bosses-should-stop-doing-this-year.html

There was a post here taken down about "crumbling" - the only way it was taken down is someone contacted this platform and told them to take it down. If that is the case, this platform is not as protected or anonymous as they claim.

I’ve heard rumors of softening RTO now after a failed rollout, but also that managers are starting “RTO conversation with employees training”?

Does anyone know what the severance policy is? It used to be in the HR site, but it seems to be gone.

The RTO employee is the product. You drive, forced to live in a city, have to pay taxes, have to spend on xyz. If you’re 95% less productive than at home it doesn’t matter because every company is making more money off of you. Cars, clothes, food... — read more

Are any other groups seeing ridiculously unattainable goals for 2024? It's almost like they are setting us up to fail.

Any updates from HR folks or managers on what the plan is for fully remote employees not near a HUB or any other US Bank office? Will these employees be safe long term, or will they be phased out?

Is there anyone who is remote or hybrid AND lives near a HUB location but not being required to RTO 3 days a week or at all? I've been hearing there are some teams that are remote and do live near HUBS but their managers have pushed back against RTO... — read more 

Does anyone know if a consulting company was bought in for all of these changes? I checked the Wells Fargo and Bank of America boards, it seems like the same kinds of things are happening and they refer to a company called McKinsey.

Seems like RTO is being pushed by all banks as a sneaky way to increase flopping real estate prices in left leaning cities.

Does anyone know what the rates are for COBRA ?

So tomorrow is last day for senior leadership to celebrate employee appreciation week. Are they going to let us log off early tomorrow to celebrate and to show their appreciation?

It’s been months since they told us they were considering outsourcing us. The RTO is rolling out and you’d think they’d need boots on the ground more than ever. Sh*t or get off the pot

At least 3 Data scientists and some leadership was let go with 1 month notice. Worst part of this is we are not communicated properly how many were let go. And with reorg, we dont know what we gonna do in a few weeks. Is this the first wave??

I was hired in 2016 as a remote employee. Pay was not great but I loved it because it was flexible and i don't mind taking weekend issues. We all know pay at the Bank is way below any other companies. Yearly performance always a 4 and rarely 3. Bonus... — read more 

Anyone know if this is even an option? Doing the work of others after they were let go plus your own work makes no sense. Especially since I never did their work before.

Anyone hear anything about upcoming layoffs for WMIS?
