I heard a rumor that managers are being told they’ll be fired if they don’t enforce RTO. Can anyone confirm if that’s true?

Tech leadership change at US Bank https://www.fintechfutures.com/2022/11/tech-leadership-change-at-us-bank

Couldn’t sleep all weekend thinking about this week. I hope no mortgage layoffs

This is not the company it once was where they cared about their employees. They are outsourcing everything to India and quite frankly its obvious they dont care about their employees like they once did. The survey has become meaningless and I... — read more 

I am sick of the RTO and my is manager consistently bugging me to be a part of it to show leadership spirit. Can anyone tell if RTO will ever get reversed for the bank? If not, I have to look for a different job. My work in the bank takes a lot more... — read more 

To pull people back in line, the Fed has engineered a recession. Everyone should resume commuting to work and refrain from requesting extravagant extras like seeing their children. Talking to Johnny at the water cooler about golf is an important part... — read more

Will banks wait after holidays or such do it this week

There are so many of the wrong people in positions from the c-suite to mid-level managers. Sad that these are the decision makers who are often the reason people leave. So many managers and orgs have awful TTUS survey results and nothing is ever... — read more 

I received a better offer and submitted my resignation. However, I was ready to accept even a job with a smaller pay because I could no longer bear the manager's behavior. I don't even know how that person ended up in that position. I think that... — read more 

Anyone heard anything?

Are layoffs over until new year?

Power to the people. Stand your ground.

I am sitting here typing a memo for my boss. Dang it, a typo, and I had carbon paper on it too. Dang, my girdle is pinching me. But I must carry on as I know my place in this company. After all, it's 1971.

T-Rex, Brontasaurus, Stegasaurus, Teradactyle, USB

When I go back to the office, I want a typewriter, rolodex, rubber stamp, ho-e punch, stapler (red) and a file cabinet. Since we are going backwards with RTO, I might as well work like it's 1975. Dump the computers, and do everything manually. Oh... — read more 

Will they return to a dress code of business suits for everyone ? Why not throw in paper time sheets, how about a toaster for opening a savings account. I mean really, if we are going to go backwards, why not go all the way !!!!

Had to stop by the office today and I saw 2 maybe 3 people on my floor at the building I work in Minneapolis. I don’t plan on coming in either unless absolutely forced….

Any update if we have heard of layoffs this week

The people I work the most with are in several different locations. We collaborate just fine every day online like we did for the past two+ years. Collaborating at the office would change nothing except for where we sit - we would still have to... — read more 

Layoffs during an election year do not occur until after the election. As soon as the elections are over, then we see industry-wide job losses announced week after week. To sit here and make up a phony grievance about the return to work, spare us... — read more 

U.S. Bank is plagued by deplorable leadership at the top and this fact is now being noticed by the institutional shareholders in my opinion, leadership couldn't give two hoots about what the employees think, however when the big institutional... — read more 

At other companies, employees are simply not showing up at the office and nobody is doing anything about it because as much as any management would like to, they can't get rid of the majority of their workforce at once. If we do the same thing, I... — read more 

Who is planning to attend? I thought it is meant like an "all hands" but only some of us got the invite. It is based on department or on job code level/seniority? Can we provide email feedback in case we don't want our names in the open?

Are they going to be asked to return or are they just forcing the hybrid people first?

Why are they laying off mortgages this month? Won’t we get busy again in spring

U.S. Bank claims to desire diversity, but this RTO requirement shows that it really couldn't care less. All they care about is people who are able to get to the office, not the quality of our work. WFH makes full-time work more accessible for... — read more 

For now, I don't see anything positive in returning to the office, neither for myself, nor for this place, which will have a significant drop in morale, and therefore productivity.

I heard you were looking comfy working from home today all the while telling the HR department they’re going back to the office. Hypocrite. You’re an intricate part of the organism. It’s as----e.

My spineless manager has already told us to be prepared to come in when my team is geographically dispersed all over the country…ugh. Can’t wait to be sitting in a cubicle in Teams meetings all day. Time to dust off the resume…

I don't care anymore. I will stand my ground. If that means I get fired, then I get fired. There are still available remote jobs, it shouldn't be too hard to recover. What I will not do is allow this company to drag me back when the majority of the... — read more

I talked to about 26 people in my department already and none are going to follow this directive of going to the office 3 or even 2 days a week. One person said they might go one day a week. No one is interested or amused by this subject.

Is it just me or does it seem like they're trying to make things miserable so people leave on their own instead of being laid off?

They want us back in the office. I hope they are prepared to deal with people coming in sick with COVID, Flu, cold and spreading it to others because they are forced to be in the office 3 days a week. They are enforcing this but people will be the... — read more
