GK wanting us to be a category 2 bank is the real reason for RTO and offshoring more and more. Buildings give us more assets and offshoring more of a global footprint. Research to learn more. Not about collaboration, which we already knew.
Advice from fellow industry worker
I work for US Bank's competitor and out of curiousity checked this site. I see a lot of uproar about RTO...believe me, we also went through it in 2022. My advice to all of you is to be careful. If they aren't checking your in network office time... — read more
Let's have some levity
For those who worked through the late 1990, what's one thing you're glad younger folks won't have to put up with? I remember printing out hundreds of pages just to review a document and having to track changes by hand with a pen. The paper cuts... — read more

The three pillars of USB
Let me describe how this place works. First pillar, punishment. Make a small error and they'll remind you for months. Second pillar, fear. Nobody feels safe. Everyone's waiting for the other shoe to drop. Third pillar, favoritism. Certain people can... — read more
RTO Scrutiny vs Cloud Leadership: Why Accountability Isn’t Equal at the Top
If RTO policies are enforced with strict measurement, tracking, and compliance expectations across employees, why doesn’t the same rigor apply to Cloud leadership (Head of Cloud and his directs)? GL17/GL18 leaders—many already significantly... — read more
Inaccurate RTO data

Take your days off
Taking mental sick days is my new norm here. They fu-k with you to the point everything is not okay and I need time to calm my nerves. This is the first time I’ve felt like this in the 19 years I’ve been here.
Is it 4 hours, 6 hours, or 8 hours to count as 1 day in office? So confused
So Elcio today said a minimum of 8 hours a day in office in order for it to count as being in office, no exceptions. But also today, the guy in charge of Operations, we over 2000 people on a call said it is understandable if you have to work 6 hours... — read more
Can we please be done with town halls already?

My manager is embarrassing
Oh, we finally got ourselves a middle manager, after over a year of blissful independence, purely so someone could tick the “yes, we have one” box. Never mind that our team handles complex fintech systems with intricate backends and high-risk... — read more
Aren't you supposed to be good at math to be working at a bank?
The amount of people doing d-mb math trying to "calculate" a 60% in this forum is both hilarious and worrying. Maybe it's because of then we all have to go back in. Gotta micro manage their excel sheet formulas lol
Now we have sick and contagious people in the office
Infecting healthy people, meaning more people will have to ask for PTO to recover and less and less people will be available to do the job. Well done corporate! Going back to square 1. Great leadership, very smart!
HRC Townhall today
Could Elcio have been more of a condescending a-s? I am just so done with him, he doesn’t listen. He is completely tone deaf. Anyone else?

FAQ say we are responsible for 60 percent since January
How is this legal? So 11 days was good, but now they say it’s no good because new rule is 14 to 15 days, depending on the month. Applies retroactively since January since expectations was to be in office…but for 15 days????
So how long is it going to take them to sort out this RTO mess?
That's a rhetorical question, by the way.
Are there core working hours?
Do IP logs only count during certain hours?
U.S Bank is a Circus

With the new RTO tracking being through IP and not swipes, has anyone heard anything about if changing location from hub to branch would be an option? The excuse used to be that it couldn’t be tracked.
