We must be about 4-5 weeks from the next round of layoffs. What are folks hearing? Any idea which areas will be hit? Expecting the TOS s--t show will get hit as they continue to get rid of Americans and hire more from India.
Few people are still planning on staying with US Bank until retirement
Be honest, how many of those who visit this forum regularly plan to still be here a year or a maximum of two from now? I'll admit right now that I don't. Too many changes, too many shortcuts taken that end up being detrimental to employees, too much... — read more

Are all these branch closures really necessary?
I used to be anxious of any mention that someone was laid off but now I’m almost completely indifferent to rumors of branch closing in the fall. I believe it will not be nice here in October and I feel sorry for those who will be affected, but I was... — read more
So tired
Are you also exhausted to the maximum? I don’t know if I’m more tired of the amount of work that several people should be doing or the completely unreasonable new manager. USB has always squeezed people but lately it's out of control. I am mentally... — read more

Hybrid in Sept
Employees have long expressed their concerns with going back to the office too soon. And now look..... the CEO is already saying he wants us to start wearing masks again. Google and Facebook are already telling their employees they are delaying their... — read more
Managers without a Clue
I live in an area of Montana where the two (HUB) Managers in our market decided to switch up banking hours so that all employees go to lunch at the same time and before this they thought it was a good idea to only open the Lobby from 10-2.. On top of... — read more
Most us bank managers are lazy and incompetent
A lot of them don’t know simple decision making skills
You know when it’s time…
For over a year I’ve had that “sinking” pit in my stomach each time Sunday night came to an end. I’d feel anxious and dread coming into work on Monday’s with a passion. I used to love working here at one time but it’s no longer the company I enjoyed... — read more

Tell me I'm not alone.
I worked for TOS at USBank for more than 20 years. The first 10 years were fine. Then they started moving me from job to job like a pawn on their giant chessboard. Assigned to managers who didn't know me to do tasks I'd never done...mastering them... — read more
Moved without being consulted?
That shouldn’t be happening but it is happening. In case this happens to me again, I will give notice because it is really disrespectful and unprofessional. I just wonder how often this happens and why do they do it that way? It is horrible what... — read more
Commercial Lending Teams
In my market we have a commercial team of 4. But the commercial team stopped lending in our market for 12 months and they also were working from home for the last 15 months. While other banks are writing a ton of commercial loans. So my question is... — read more
Bonus wrongfully cancelled
Worked a full year, got a stellar review and was granted 200+ shares. Then, and during the following year, got a new manager (hired from the outside) whose mission became to criticize everything from my arrival time to making corrections to my... — read more
Worth pursing action for wrongful termination?
I wont get into the whole story...but last year I was fired for specifically "a false/unfounded HR complaint" and violation of using skype...(complaining of the workplace toxicity). I had complained through the textbook ethics channels against my... — read more
Will U.S. Bank ?
In May 2021, Bank of America said they plan to set the minimum wage for all positions there to $25 an hour by 2025. Bank of America raised its minimum wage to $15 an hour in 2017, to $17 an hour in 2019, and to $20 an hour last year. According to... — read more
Growing criticism?
I have a manager who is the main reason why I will leave this company. I would understand if he had some strong and valid arguments for criticizing my work, but no. Lately I have a feeling that all he is doing is looking for even the slightest reason... — read more
No vision, no direction
I wonder where and when this company lost its compass? Where is this going? Does anyone know? It is very difficult to work in a company where there is no vision. Unfortunately, it’s a big red flag that things can only get worse. I am afraid... — read more
A worrying trend?
Does it seem to you that more people than ever are leaving this company? I know two great young and talented people who gave notice last week. Those at the top make a lot of mistakes if they think that the same rules apply now as they did a long... — read more

People are overreacting
The 65% going to the hybrid model are "generally" expected to be in office 3 days a week. Has no one actually noticed the word generally in the announcement?? This isn't the first time what they're calling hybrid has existed at US Bank. It's just new... — read more
Truth
Employers like US Bank are ideally looking for an employee with the wisdom of a 50 year old, the experience of a 40 year old, the drive of a 30 year old, and the pay scale of a 20 year old. If this isn't true, I don't know what is. They want all... — read more
Thoughts on RTW
What are your thoughts about the return to work scenario that has been put into place?
U.S. Bank website is absolute cr-p
The U.S. Bank website just got a "facelift" and look at it. This is an indication of the level of trouble TOS is in. Totally clueless design and half of the functionality doesn't work. Had to use the mobile app to do Bill Pay and any payments as... — read more
Elavon TOS is on the Cutting Floor

Wrongful termination case

Does US Bank offshore work to countries they do not do business in?
Need to make some decisions. Been with USB for over 25 years and recently heard employees are losing their jobs due to offshoring. Not sure I want to continue to do business with them IF they are eliminating US jobs and sending work to countries... — read more

One more week to play the fool
Great, you made it through another week in the grind of US Bank. Are you and your family re–budgeting your year because of the hilariously low bonus you got? Can you see the sword hanging above your chair? Do you shut down your laptop and praise... — read more
Could you have done much better?
I was laid off recently and only now I'm beginning to see my own mistakes. I wasn’t expecting to get laid off. USB has had a lot of wrong moves and decisions, but still, I’m more angry at myself and my own decisions. I could have moved to another... — read more
How many branches will we have by the end of next year?
It wouldn’t surprise me if by the end of 2022 there are less than 1000 USB branches as someone has already mentioned, considering that in 2019 it had just over 3000. What do you think?
Big problem
A big mistake I see is the decision to bring in new managers who don't know the job. "You were good in leading that department" does NOT mean they will be good in a completely different department. Then it's like having a newly-elected mayor coming... — read more
