Anyone notice that the new standard is “over” 60% of days in office vs hybrid 3 days a week = 60% exactly? You will get 60.1% from me and nothing more. Also, thanks for the raise that doesn’t even cover commuting expense Gunjan!

This would be a great thing if we don’t know that 200+ people have to lose their jobs so the bank can afford it. Really ads insult to injury. Tell an entire department being outsourced overseas then weeks later brag about this partnership.

It’s updated and now shows me as non compliant. They clearly changed the expectations. I’m surprised there isn’t any communication on this from the company.

Does anyone know why there was a big fire drill in EACX yesterday? Are they using this information to gear up for layoffs?

What's up with the recent need to sign this?

There is a message in Workday saying as much. How will they track hours in-office if they can't even update general attendance in a timely manner?

Hello everyone is anyone here have any idea on what’s going on ? My manager asked me my other teammates for the nearest Hub location so they can get approval for us to start going into office even though we were hired as remote employees but the... — read more 

Offshoring is what’s been truly destroying us.

Do we know anything about the next round outside of the usual rumors?

Unique among banks, U.S. Bank measures success, merit, and performance using a singular metric: The duration employees remain seated for eight hours in non-ergonomic office chairs at hubs. This approach contrasts with traditional metrics such... — read more

When will the March RTO data be live on Workday?

Last year, U.S. Bank made a decision that hasn't been widely reported: they chose not to renew H1-B visas for a number of their H1-B staff (~80%). This action, which technically amounts to a termination, is based on the date when these employees... — read more 

Hearing rumors of 5 days RTO will be coming soon and offshoring fraud operations to Poland? Anyone else heard this or have insight?

Are now taking every walk-in with the hopes up selling their ONE credit card for the month. It’s outrageous.

When I was hired at USB about 5 years ago I was surprised by the number of people were offshore. Also surprised by the number of employees who were from India or other countries. Didn’t really think much of it until I was the last American born... — read more 

A commenter alluded to it in a post: while we fussed over RTO rumors the bank is finalizing the details to hire 5000 FTEs in India. Remember this is a place that kept wages flat and laid off people ruthlessly for "operational efficiency" but has no... — read more 

My takeaway from today’s call and the chatter on this board is that RTO monitoring as it stands, is a credibility problem of our own making. We are asking employees to comply with a policy that many in leadership (including HR) itself is not... — read more 

Maybe then they wouldn't need to spend so much energy controlling us. Old concept, I know. But today's corporations seem to have forgotten it completely.

Someone said when they asked if in office mean 6 hours or 8 hours and the response was they are tracking people to be in office 8 hours . Wtf! This can’t be real, no one is staying exactly 8 hours a day in office This isn’t real Or is it!???

Is it more effective to answer the TTUS survey or to skip it altogether? Also, they say the survey is confidential, but they never say it is anonymous, which makes me less likely to want to tell them what I truly think.

People on this forum need to start citing real evidence. No more rumors with no proof.

Here’s what’s going on: If you are hybrid, you need to be showing up in office for full days (6+ hours) 3+ days a week. This is now in Workday as a goal. 3+ days, nothing new. Why 6+, because that’s classified as a full day. This is due to people... — read more

The articles that just came out about the rumors of Citi seeking to acquire a regional bank speculate about PNC and Truist but it will be USB. The McKinsey mafia will ensure Kedia has a role at the combined organization.

If youre going to track hours of employees complying with RTO and "fire" them for not making 6 or more hours a day then fire the remote employees first because it's completely unfair they arent under the same scrutiny.

Was informed we need to be telling management what 3 days we are going to be in office each week. If we need to change a day we need to be letting management know. This feels beyond the rto requirements. If we are hitting our 11 days a month why does... — read more

Thank goodness they spent the money for the visibility in Happy Gilmore. Smart move! All the business pouring in from that is saving jobs and a major factor in the bank's generosity with its employees.

Wow! This year’s employee appreciation week is an absolute joke. An article that links to a viva engage post with no engagement. A cr-ppy ecard from the CEO. Way to phone it in and check the box. That’s an HR fail.
