Is it just me? Driving into the office to sit there and stare at the screen is really doin the most to my mentals. I guess I’ll see how long I can stand getting paid to do nothing. This has been going on for almost a year now. Is this a tactic to get... — read more
Will they assign seats to us in office?
Everybody in my hub wants assigned seating- the desk reservations have gotten ridiculous. It was one of the most wanted items in the talk to us survey, do you think they'll do it?

Phishing exercise

Why are processors/MCS still fully remote?
I'm not sure if it's everywhere but in my hub none of the MCS employees have been mandated to return. They have been told they are not returning to office. Why do they get to remain home based along with their managers... does anyone know? Seems... — read more

If anybody is still wondering – RTO is here just to make you quit
It was never about collaboration or efficiency. It’s always been about pushing people out. The fewer employees who quit on their own, the more extreme the requirements become, deliberately designed to make compliance impossible, or too costly... — read more
Q2 Earnings Call
That was the longest, most skeptical, call with analysts I've ever heard. They so lack confidence in USB, and our answers were a train wreck. Like we didn't even prep for the call. Watch the stock today...heading south is my guess.

What if some companies aren’t mandating a return to office for collaboration or culture—but because they want people to quit??
How do the layoffs happen?
When (if) they call your number, how does it happen? Is it your manager? Someone in HR? Do they set up a meeting time with you in advance for a different reason? Any things you should do to be prepared?
It’s the 15th
If anyone knows what’s going on, please share. As much as I despise my job here, I still need it, so I’m really hoping the layoffs today were just rumors.
Am I making a huge mistake leaving this place for Wells Fargo?

The more developer productivity talk there is the more cuts expected later this year. Dilip is under pressure to deliver the cuts. Where the cuts are gonna come from?
I wouldn’t exactly be shedding tears if they laid me off
Even if there aren’t other jobs available. No paycheck is worth being worked into the ground and treated like garbage. When your health ends up in the gutter, you won’t be able to work at all anyway.
Dooms day the 15th?
So, with everyone stating the 15 of July is layoff day we shall see what happens tomorrow. However, all of our layoffs have happened on a Wednesday or Thursday. Been through several just awaiting the chopping block.

It's been over six months. That sh-t petrifies me.
This bank breaks people
I gave everything to this job, late nights, 60–70 hour weeks, weekends stolen from my life, and what did I get? Abuse and silence. If you say no, you’re punished or demoted. They bully openly, reward favorites, and HR turns a blind eye. I’ve watched... — read more

Remote was working until they broke it

Make US Bank Great Again??????
Will US Bank ever be a great company to work for? Union Bank's takeover sent US Bank into a downward spiral to failure. Employee's were no longer important to the success of the company. Managers like H.F, D.H. I.L., W.J. and too many more that do... — read more
