Can we not do better here? If you want people in the office, maybe push a vacuum or dust once in a while? Office is so filthy we itch when we come in, cups and coffee are few and far between. No working water dispensers in any floor currently... — read more
I can easily believe they'll offshore us to death
AI has been just a ruse.
Upskilling Promises vs. Workforce Reality
We went through Cloud Cert Fest and Skill Academy programs with the expectation that cloud training would translate into meaningful internal opportunities and role stability within the bank. Instead, cloud outcomes remain largely undelivered, while... — read more
Which group is next?
Anyone with inside knowledge, which group will be hit in May?
40% - 70% off shoring
Hearing rumors that Gunjen wants to off shore majority of us? To subtantiate said rumors there were tons of senior leaders on site in the Plaza last week, now several are flying out to Poland next week. Managers who may have been apart of Gunjen's... — read more
Work for the sake of work
My manager has this habit of asking for detailed updates on things that don't matter, formatting reports three different ways for no reason, and scheduling meetings about meetings. I spend at least five hours a week on tasks that nobody ever looks at... — read more
April RTO data
When will we see it on our dashboards? Will it be accurate?
Termination after coming back medical leave/FMLA
Are you aware of this?
Place your bets.
Two of our branch colleagues were ki-led today, so place your bets. How long until the company's "deep mourning" ends and their jobs are listed in the career hub?
A warning to Mac users: bossware was remotely installed on my machine yesterday.
Yesterday, my computer started lagging and freezing. I use a high performance MacBook Pro, so this was odd. I tried to restart, but I was stopped by a pop-up that said "NexThink" software was being installed and restarting would cause data loss and... — read more
Corporate BS language in MACX
Free employees to focus on high impact, strategic work = layoff. Good luck everybody.
How many folks around you pack up early?
How about your management and leadership. Way too many around me.
Any managers on this thread?
What did the MC do with the TTUS surveys? Another the question is are they using it to do reorg soon and prepare for the next layoffs? My stomach has knots on the 14th every month. I’m never able to build expertise in anything as they sc--w us over... — read more
Games of Thrones in cutthroat Elavon
The GoT quote to describe Elavon is “the night shift is dark and full of terrors”. Everyone is looking out for themselves.
HR Advisory Services - Elavon / MPS
As a whole, HR Advisory Services for Elavon / MPS is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They are literally salivating to fire individuals. Spreadsheet management hacks at best. Placing any trust in this team of veiled “consultants” would be a bad move. Stay... — read more
New architecture organization!!!! UNBELIEVABLE
Architecture leadership without architecture, direction without clarity, and decisions without grounding, this isn’t strategy, it’s a slow, well-documented collapse
Low Morale
I work in credit fraud and recently there were recent layoffs of remote employees who were amazing people to work with back on March 20. There are still some remote employees left that live about 1 to 3 hours from the office. They now want people to... — read more
Would you take a pay cut to be remote?
Would you take a pay cut to be remote? Or at least forgo your bonus? I'd do both. Take note MC!
Post removals
I find it interesting that at least 3 post topics which call out derogatory language used in other posts/comments have been seemingly removed in the past month, yet the posts/comments with the language remain. Most of the indicated rhetoric seems... — read more
Cloud Compensation Vs Cloud Outcomes - Join Cloud Migration Team
There’s been a lot of discussion lately around compensation concerns. One potential path to address this is by transitioning to the Cloud Migration team under the Head of Cloud Transformation (A.C.). This group is strategically positioned within the... — read more
Anyone have an idea when the falsified data for RTO w/ VDIs will be
Crazy to me that it's been falsely reporting for about 2 weeks now.
Ops
Was there a re-org in Ops?
Enterprise Architecture used to be boxes and arrows nobody followed.
Now it’s the same thing… just with “AI” copy-pasted on every slide. Principal Architects running the show, somehow always in the room, rarely in the outcome. They don’t build. They don’t run. But they definitely “align.” Every problem gets a... — read more
HUB
They’re closing the HUB closest to my home. Is this happening in other areas too? I wonder if it’s because employees weren’t showing up.
Take advantage of Skills Academy
While the culture is terrible, one thing the bank does offer is the Skills Academy. This is a huge opportunity to gather and learn new skills for your next opportunity. Not many companies offer this type or level of learning. Take advantage of this... — read more
Willing to learn and holding oneself accountable
Good managers will do their best to learn the job so they can be an asset to the team. Good managers will not push their direct reports off on someone else because they do not have the answer and do not care to learn along with the team.
Thoughts on Private Wealth
I am considering a role in private wealth in Minnesota. Reading through these posts, there seems to be a lot of employee frustration. It seems much of it is around RTO and it appears much of that may be in other business lines. Can someone in private... — read more
Life is bigger than this
I hope everyone is well, and GK and the Management Committee - if you see this, I hope you go to therapy and heal your ruthless souls.
India is scam central
Stop offshoring our jobs! Requesting Americans to be our customer service reps.

Favoritism
Is favoritism a common thing in your department? Manager overlooks/makes exception for a certain employee but either micromanages or ignores the rest of the team.
Shoes
How do I get my free shoes? We only get ice cubes for free at our hub office?
Let’s make a statement!
Since upper management is not listening… not sure if they will. We as a collective should make a statement. Next town hall with GK we should not attend. Does anyone think that would make a statement?!?? Just wondering what we can do…
Life is more important. Keep your sanity.
Do not contact me after hours because there is a fire drill and do not expect me to work even one minute past quitting time. I’ll also put in very minimal effort. That’s what you get when you don’t give raises and you don’t respect employees.
April = 14 days in office
22 days x .60 =13.2. To hit 60 percent, we have to hit at least 14 days or get written up for non compliance????
GK and EL threw all the Managers under the bus and making life difficult
My manager apologized to me for the poor bonus and raise and he indicated my compensation has nothing to do to do with my performance last year, which was outstanding. He said this is what he was given, would habe loved to give everyone that deserved... — read more
Why do town halls even exist?
Like everything else here, it's just performative nonsense. Complete time sink. And irritating beyond belief.
Vote the board out
This is just a reminder to everyone that we have the ability to vote for or against the board members that deny us raises and approve the salaries and bonuses for the MC. Use them. Later this year when the voting comes about USE YOUR VOTE. They... — read more
8 Hours, What Did You Think They’d Say
Why even ask this question and upvote it, what did you think they’d say, 4 hours? The real question was are they tracking hours in order for it to count as an office day.
