2021-2025 strategy…. What is it? When and this “innovation” will affect US engineers?
Does anyone have scoop on this? I’ve heard rumors that at the end of 2023 workforce will be decreased and that they are planning to gut automation specialists whom we are so desperately trying to hire now. I am aware that bank is going through... — read more
Quality of new hires
Judging by the quality of some (most) of the new hires, our reputation is finally catching up with us. The new people are all either too young to know better or rejects from other banks who had no other choice. In both cases, they don't have the... — read more
Severance questions
If you are laid off, and get another job, do you no longer get severance or so you get a lump? Does it have to be outside of the “60 day notice”? The Severance plan doc is clear as mud.

So remote workers are apparently being moved from hard tokens to soft tokens
I heard through the grapevine that apparently we will need to use our personal devices for this and won't be using fobs. Who can shed light on what this entails? Does it require an app to be installed on our phones?
Useless manager
I literally report to the worst excuse of a manager - lazy, doing the bare minimum, while the rest of the team works far more than their fair share to pick up the slack. Don’t know how this person in good conscience accepts a salary. Frustrated ... — read more
Job rationalization starting?
In CSBB and feeling a passive request for us to start rationalizing our position/duties. Start/Stop/Continue, prioritization, etc. Any one participating in similar exercises?
Weird, the word “team member” or “mate” turned into a no no
Maybe it was the first sign of the fall. When you aren’t a team you are alone. When you are alone it allows fear to come in. Leadership removed that word from the vocab and added the BS candor piece to the mission as a way to demean even more. You... — read more

Are we going to be making more money now that Interest Rates are higher?
What do you think? More profits due to Interest Rates...

How many of you here started in an entry level position?
I did. Started as a phone rep and worked my way up to a 6 figure salary in a little under 10 years with an (admittedly worthless) officer title. Yes, I had a college degree when I started. This gave me the opportunity to really learn the business... — read more
