#overtime

It looks like the CSBBO closures are part of the bank’s location strategy, focusing on consolidating some sites while expanding others.

What stands out is that for the past three days they have been sending messages like this:

Overtime available today, November 2, 2025. Overtime is available for Everyday Banking English and Spanish Bankers for the rest of today and tomorrow. Please log in, and your leader will report your worked hours to Resource Planning for processing.

If sites are closing, why push overtime right now? It almost seems like they are trying to meet short term goals before more news comes out.

Has anyone else heard which sites are next?

this concept of working 60 hrs a week for 6 months to right the ship is becoming a thing. i for one am all in, let's go !!!!!

Anyone else concerned that upper management will use all this green time between calls as an excuse to prove are roles are no longer needed?

I can't understand why they're still implementing mandatory overtime and voluntary overtime when MC is hardly getting calls.

Front line is also being directed not to call us with this red light signal. It all seems very strange for a company this large.

I'd love to know how the heck we get any leaner out here in the CO's. Can't get the most basic stuff needed for years, and covering an unrealistically large geographical area ALONE when on OT. My suggestion is to start the "leaner" process with the redundancies up at the top, Dan!

Hearing that no one is safe! If you have a job you are not working OT, then someone will be let go! Be ready to take over and do at least 1-2 times more work if you still have a job.

and move to West Virginia to become a Coal Miner. All the Mines in West Virginia are hiring coal miners at all levels, entry-level, mid-level, and senior coal miners. There's plenty of over-time to be had if that is what you are looking for too.

I did this two years ago and never looked back after moving from Michigan to West Virginia. I work 50 hours Monday through Friday and spend the weekends outdoors either fishing, hunting, hiking and camping. I don't miss my old GM job at all.

None of the gossip I’m hearing makes much sense. Some people say no more than 1,000 drivers nationwide took the offer. Where I am, they’re actually looking to hire more. In other places, people are apparently complaining about too much OT because they’re understaffed. And yet, everyone keeps talking about more layoffs coming. I’m honestly confused, and scared for my job, no matter how much I don’t like it.

So we all going to be logging OT today. If we get let go tomorrow submit time cards. If not, change it and don’t risk it.

Wow. After seeing all the layoffs over the years, you’d think I’d have been prepped for this. But no. Over a decade of working 80 hour weeks at times, late nights, weekends during Q-end. Missing weddings, events, time with family. To having my literal career here be laid off in a 5 minute phone call—and a rushed and cold one at that—is mind blowing. Less than a few mins after the call, my laptop was shut down, everything disconnected. The conversation was clearly scripted and completely impersonal. To tell someone they’re losing a job they’ve held for so long, they’re losing their pay and benefits in 14 days and show no compassion or empathy is just wild. What’s worse? Even my own direct manager had no idea. Talk about lack of transparency. Zero appreciation. Everyone is a number here at this company.

panic team meetings and overtime attempts to book and ship.
sure sign of quarter end.

Obviously there will be a much larger market after bd merger,thence stockpiling.those not contributing through overtime should be first to go

Oh right, because there aren’t that many different options out there. They’ve cornered us into putting up with absurd levels of bullying, pressure, overtime, and exhaustion, while the only payoff is the chance we might get to keep our jobs. Just might. This is a sc--wed-up system, and State Farm has turned it into an art form.

Layoffs have been happening in small batches. Ford Credit customer service got hit hard this week. you could not get a breath between calls till Friday and that was only because they kept asking for voluntary overtime from employees. Also other depts that we transfer calls to must have gotten cut again because their estimated wait time to answer a call went through the roof. Most of our reps are in Mexico now anyway and Panama for Loss Prevention, etc. I believe Monday Sept. 8th is going to be another firing day. We asked team leaders what was going on since we knew that many people would not be on vacation at the same time, scheduling won’t allow it. All TL did was stutter some stupid answer, not really an answer. I noticed a few of my over 25 year co workers in customer service disappeared starting Monday, August 25th

this was an article "The traditional 9-to-5 is being replaced by the ‘infinite workday’". For those of you at WF, do you find that the company wants you to RTO and to work off hours from home.

I don’t work there, but I’ve watched what this place has done to my sister. She’s given them everything—early mornings, late nights, weekends, endless events. And she’s not the only one. So many of you have sacrificed your time, your health, even your families, because you believed in being loyal and dedicated.

But what does this company give back? Not gratitude, not respect, not recognition. Instead, after draining people dry, they toss you out like you were nothing. It’s not a “thank you” for years of service—it’s a cold shove out the door.

We used to joke it was like a cult. Turns out we were right. A cult takes your energy, your devotion, your soul—and when you’re no longer useful, it discards you. That’s exactly what’s happening here.

To everyone getting laid off: you deserved better than this. And no matter what they try to make you believe, the failure is theirs—not yours.

If you work more than a 8 hour day you can walk out and swipe in again and you get credit for 2 days since it is 8 hours apart

they are offering OT for snp CM. Does this mean we may be safe from layoffs? Thoughts? I

working overtime was a problem before private equity takeover.
But now it is a bigger problem. Without QEs, developer has to do job of two people in same timeframe while maintaining "high quality". This is a death knell because escalated issue, due to management incompetence, has to be fixed by overworked developers :-(
