Five meetings in one day and I still have actual work that needs to get done. And once they start, everyone looks bored, including the people who scheduled them. We've lost the plot, folks.
How concerned should we be?
During our department meeting, we were told to update our resumes and start looking for other opportunities within the bank. There were about 1,100 employees on the call.
I don't know how we got here
I used to feel good telling people where I worked. Now I find myself avoiding the subject because I'm embarrassed by what this place has become.
Layoff in the future?
We were instructed to update our workday profiles today. Also told HR would be pulling reports to make sure we did them.Anyone think this may be cryptic before a layoff or have any additional insight? It seems odd.
TOWN HALL
22 mins we shall see if we are sinking or still treading water after todays meeting!!!
What is going on with AI?
Is AI at the bank actually beneficial to anyone. So far, all it does for me is make things slower than normal (looking at you, EVA). The tools we have seem so disjointed, and I’m told to start using them, but also that I have to verify the accuracy... — read more
Future of return to office
I want to know if anyone knows FACTUAL intel information like if IP tracking will become retroactive or enforced or if more days will be required Reversing policies to relax RTO is even better
Can we at least agree that no layoffs are coming any time soon?
Considering all the other cr-p they've been throwing at us.
RTO TRACKING
Are IPs really being tracked I have been doing the four hours but only see mac 2 people , curious if there is ways around this and I’m missing out on this? Doesn’t it matter for bonus or am I just wasting my time?
US Bank Employees Receive Pay Cuts While CEOs Rake in Millions
I was out filling up my vehicle to the tune of $4.28 a gallon and it got me thinking about how this company has been exploiting us all in every way. If you follow the government's inflation numbers(CPI), prices are up 8.3 percent since January 2024... — read more
Pay range adjusted?
It seems like the pay range has been adjusted lower on workday. Does everyone see that?
Severe burnout
Does anyone else feel like they are PAST severe burnout right now?
Any good disability attorney recommendations?
I've seen so many posts and comments here over the past 2 months that talk about accommodations getting delayed, denied, geographic pay bands getting changed for folks previously on remote accommodations but now trying to renew, etc. It feels like... — read more
Another RTO Calculation question.
We never seem to have a shortage of complaints regarding RTO, so I’d like to add a potential new one to the list. I’m curious how they are actually calculating RTO, since that seems to be an ongoing issue. Does anyone know if this WiFi geolocation... — read more
Business line updates call 9/14
So anyone have a clue if this is the call we have been waiting for???
PMI All Hands Call
They’re deleting questions they don’t want to deal with. What’s the point of participating?
Some people ARE safe
I've seen many people make huge mistakes, and I've seen who faces the music and who doesn't. It's not about the severity of the error, but about who made it. Some people are untouchable. They can do no wrong and they know it. When people say nobody... — read more
CIO visited Security facility??
I recently heard that a former CIO visited our security facilities with his new company. Isn't this something of a privacy concern? I would have expected our security teams to be less than enthusiastic about a former CIO wandering the premises to... — read more
Coming across a lot of posts on here where people with disabilities are eerily sharing the same stories with their disabilities accommodations.
To long didn’t read warning for those with minimal or no attention spans. …. “Do we even have a HR department anymore” this line in on the post on here… really stands out. It’s a sad question. Coated and baked Irony. The sadness is…. Anyone with... — read more
ARE THEY STILL COUNTING Q1 2026 RTO #s?
I was one of the many coffee badgers when they switched the reporting metrics back in march to IP connections. I’m super worried about this putting me in the queue for a layoff. Anyone in management know how they’re handling those numbers (Jan-march... — read more
Worst Leadership
In my personal experience, Jeff Nibler and Kyle Goodwin are two of the worst managers I have encountered in my career. Their leadership was an exhausting combination of unclear direction, poor communication, weak accountability and an astonishing... — read more
Scared.
Laid off in March from the bank, and I still can’t find work. Funny thing is I see them rehiring for a position I had but I’m not in a hub market. I was less expensive than people they kept on board, so why the he-l lay me off? I was a good worker... — read more
Theory X Management
U.S. Bank’s culture increasingly feels built around one assumption: employees cannot be trusted. Track IP addresses because people might not be working where they say they are. Crack down on medical accommodations because someone might be abusing... — read more
Cobra
Can anyone who has been layed off recently advise how much cobra is? I have a serious health condition and expect a layoff. Just looking for estimate. Best wishes to those still looking for new jobs.
People joke about PANIC
Except data delays have often been because of new reporting metrics being added
No More PollEV, How convenient...
No more pollev in ESA and larger townhalls, seems like the MC doesn't want to hear anonymously anymore. No one is going to ask the real questions anymore or reach out to them specifically with their name attached to it, it feels like silencing.
Monitoring activities
How often is management reading chat messages or reviewing and monitoring emails with coworkers?
What's Going on at Elavon?
Hearing a lot of things happened today but cannot confirm anything.
EVERYBODY PANIC
It's the first day of the month and in-office adherence reporting hasn't updated!!! Just like every month before this one!!! What will we DO?! Just getting ahead of the curve.
Routines
Old routine: Enjoy a cup of coffee, go heads down and be productive before meetings. New routine: Log and be immediately bombarded by IMs and meeting invites by offshore contractors that don't understand the work because they log off earlier than... — read more
Elavon broad team meeting this week
Saw some people starting to speak up about Elavon, so here I am saying I will probably quit soon. The past 2 years have been eye-opening for me. Way too many red tapes to get merchant services solutions work done and keep my sanity, yet leadership... — read more
Uncertainty in Customer Services/Customer Experience at Elavon
Hearing rumors of customer support center restructuring or laying off teams and re-building new teams back up. Elavon has been always a dumpster fire for years and it’s truly hard to collaborate across teams because everyone is trying to protect... — read more
New OPS reorg Elavon/USBANK
Anyone else hear about the new RE-ORG to "support" EPG? Customer Service is always so garbage at Elavon, the only way itll get better is when QA and leadership actually keep the reps accountable- I know ppl that still have jobs in CS that straight... — read more
Anyone here ever leave the company and wish they hadn’t?
For as cr-ppy of a place to work as this place has become, I have seen a few people boomerang back, which made me curious. If you left and regretted it, what changed your mind? And for those who came back, what made you return?
The grass is greener…
So I am still bitter about my time at USB Business Banking. I was recruited away from my previous employer, a solid place, to work on the Greatest Product Ever Imagined - Business Essentials!! Told the opportunities here were endless! Well wouldn’t... — read more
Ethics of paying to win an ethics award
I just learned that the bank pays thousands of dollars to "win" the Most Ethical Companies award that we "win" every year and brag about everywhere even on our screen savers. All the companies that "win" pay Ethicsphere for the award. Is that... — read more
New Workstation Wallpaper Dropped
...I woke-up this morning & logged-in without coffee yet, dutiful as ever, only to be blasted half awoken by the new wallpaper shooting bright white laserbeams directly into my face. You can't hate what this place has become enough. Just so fücking... — read more
Wfh accommodation denials
Has anyone else been denied for their previously approved work from home accommodations? I've been approved for two years and now I got denied. I dont understand this push to be in the office, its tanking morale
You're not safe
Somewhere, there's a spreadsheet with your name on it. The criteria could be anything, tenure, pay, age, or who knows what. Just make sure you're ready.
Who is pulling the strings here???
GER posts were removed but one came back. I would hope its not TheLayOff.com censoring people since they push "comment, its anonymous". So then it makes me think is someone at USB monitoring this and asking for post removals or reviews? You cant... — read more
