I heard from a friend about a role in GT that’s currently open. They sent my resume and cover letter to the hiring manager on Friday. He tells them today that the position can only be filled from within GT. I sit in another LOB. Can anyone... — read more

Police at the greensboro office

Teams
Those of you who aren't in a production based role and aren't being tracked 24/7 do you keep yourself active on teams even when you have nothing to do?
Keep coffee badging
They ain’t tracking sh*t keep doing it…
The direction is down
I've been watching and I'm convinced. Nothing good is going to happen here anymore. It's all downhill from here. If you have any way to leave, do it now. It's coming. Whatever it is, it's coming.
Strong financials
Overall, not a bad quarter at all! So it was definitely justified that you got a raise that didn’t even keep pace with inflation and the execs got like 15-20% extra. Keep working hard digging your own grave folks. That’s the only way this works.
Hiring freeze
What's the deal with the hiring freeze. My team has been overworked and under staffed for half the year in GRM. Is there any end in sight it's dam near May
Phone at desk policy
I’m told I can’t have my phone out at my desk even if it’s just to pull it out and turn on music while I work. Meanwhile, the people who sit in the next row over talk all day and it’s so distracting. I have no idea how to get anything done. And I... — read more
Assigned seats
So I’m guessing the bank went back to assigned seating? I’ve been out on sabbatical and just returned to our new space, but all of the seats appear to be assigned and I have no idea where I should randomly sit. It doesn’t feel good to start my day... — read more
Workday
Why the he-l does workday never actually work. I have to click the buttons 16 times for it to take me to the time off section
2 top leasing execs suddenly leave
I was just told that Rick Fleisher and Anne-Marie Pepi left suddenly yesterday. No word if it was voluntary or not. Anyone know why?
Notice
I am getting ready to give my notice because of the new WPE changes. But now I’m hearing they are not going to happen. Does anyone have reliable information?
I learned something the hard way today
In a meeting someone stated something factually incorrect. Not an opinion, a fact. I gently pointed out the error with evidence and you would have thought I insulted their mother. The room went freezing cold, and later I was told I need to work on my... — read more
Financial Hardship
Ever since the Pandemic, this place has been horrible. I am finding it financially impossible to do my job. 100% travel here and they moved my home office to a city 20 miles away. Thats 40 miles per day I’m not getting paid. With gas prices $5 per... — read more
Incoming Intern - what to expect?
What to expect, and how is the company right now? Especially in Global Tech in Charlotte? Curious on people's opinions and advice, especially for someone in my position. I see this page is always buzzing with various discussions on anything and... — read more
Ethics complaint?
Has anyone filed one? Did you sign your name? Or stay anonymous? Was any action taken? Did you fear retaliation?
This isn't normal
What you're dealing with here isn't how it has to be. I went to another big bank and everything is better. Nicer people, working tech, and leaders who actually try.
RTO is becoming financially impossible
Commute expenses just keep climbing. It's not only gas, everything is just getting more expensive. Only my paycheck is still frozen at WFH-era levels.
Workplace Excellence - anti working mother
The impending policy is anti-working mother. It hurts us. Thought up by men who don't need to consider flexibility and the consideration of kids off from school, teacher workdays.... So the other Friday when school was called off for weather in... — read more

What is everyone hearing about WPE changes
I’ve heard the 4/1 change is on hold, but they are monitoring/reporting and will come out with changes to address ‘bad’ behavior like coffee badging. What is everyone else hearing? I find it so strange we were communicated a change and then nothing... — read more

Plano Office: Where 'Work' Means Coffee-Badging
Come on guys, what a joke. Plano office is basically a ghost town of productivity. Hardly anyone actually working. My entire team? Mostly H4EAD housewives from Telangana who’ve been here 10+ years and still have zero clue how the software... — read more
WPE
I know everyone has their own opinions on wfh, hybrid and coffee swipers but this isn’t the post for opinions. A few people I know had been swiping then working from home and the manager was aware. They are now going in for the full 3 days but have... — read more
Teams and One Drive
Anyone else find Teams to be not very user-friendly and a bit disorganized and chaotic? I spent far too much time having to look for conversations or clear out notifications.. it’s just a mess. Thought I would get used to it, but it’s been long... — read more
Pinnacle Award
Hey, here’s an idea! How about we stop giving the pinnacle award to the same people year after year?! This is a massive expense for the company just to send the same people on a weeklong vacation every year.. and it’s terrible for morale. Why are... — read more
Oil prices and Commute
I’m at the point where I’m not gonna be able to afford to drive to the office anymore. I live 45 minutes from the office (pretty much the average for anyone in Jacksonville), and my truck gets 13 miles to the gallon. And it’s not like I could just... — read more
We’re burning billions because leadership is clueless about AI
It’s the "who you know" club all over again. We’ve got directors jumping into "AI Lead" roles who clearly haven't read a technical paper in years. They’re still pushing 2023-era prompting guides like they’re some kind of holy grail, even though... — read more
This is such a broken way to operate
I spend all day in pointless meetings that add zero value. Then I have to work late to actually get my work done because there's no time during the day. It's a constant cycle of falling behind.
Sheri Bronstein knew about the hours analyst were working and did nothing. We told her that is how i know ut us true.
Why is she still here? She failed in her most precious task and i see her on LinkedIn accepting paid for bogus awards "best HR person" at some HR boondoggle in Orlando or Phoenix with a bunch of HR Eco chamber id--ts. Sheri did you pay for those... — read more

Adobe Workfront Fiasco
Workplace Benefits has just launched an Adobe project management called Worfront. It is a s@/!t sandwich. No one has a clue to use it and management knows it but won’t admit. Ah, only the best and brightest team here at the Bank
Has anyone ever received a security event email from Infosafe?
