Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

@kv There is a new policy in MyHR as of this week they created specifically in an attempt to protect them from this, talking about excused vs unexcused absences. The SSL list is definitely real.

@OP if they're keeping track of people who use sick time to put them on some list, that's quite literally against policy. SSL is to be used without consequences. That was the whole purpose of the policy.

A HR lawyer would have a field day with this if you can prove it.

You don't blame your college at all? Student loans are horrible.

@g1 exactly I want to know why qasim has a list of people using a benefit we are allowed to use

"LITERALLY" 😂

@g1 SSL is sick leave.

What does "list' of people who use ssl" mean.

Own your life. Stop wishing and hoping and do what you need to do. We all make choices and forge our own path.

Wow what a coincidence.. this place is also the root of literally everything wrong in my life.

My life was literally ruined by a few heartless Individuals (managers)

If you think I am overreacting…

Then let’s see if you say the same after working here for years resulting in a life changing diagnosis from all of the toxicity these individuals caused me.

Life no longer has color. The clock is ticking for me with no guarantee of making it through this and a guaranteed time of misery for whatever time I have left.

I spent the last 4 years ruined from these people up until the very second as I type this.

I will spend the rest of my time wallowing in depression, hurt, and regret.

The only thing I can do to get help and feel better is pray to god.

I will include you in my prayers op.

I’m sorry. You are not alone.

@a3 I wish for you what you wish for others.

@OP First, you are NOT a loser. You're someone who did what he was told to do to achieve success, and you were lied to about it all along the way. You aren't alone. I know that's little consolation. Those feelings of hopelessness are brutal, and right now your brain is lying to you.

Please, take advantage of FMLA and Short-Term Leave (or Long-Term, if you need it). Document the absolute fu-k out of everything related to that before and after you return. Go see your medical provider and let them help you. This isn't baseless advice - I had to do all of those things myself once because of the conditions we're subjected to here. This place isn't worth your life.

Seek counseling services now. Take the sick leave to do so. A job is not worth more than your life.

Next, realize it is just a job and not a reflection of your worth and not something to worry about in the long run. It really is just a job, and there are other jobs out there with both better and worse environments. If you can view it this way and see if for what it is, you will be better off. I promise.

If you have been at a job for about 3 years with no raises it nothing more than COLA in any of those years, you are probably underpaid.

For the sake of your mental and physical well being I would strongly advise you to work towards finding a new job at a different company altogether.

OP, we get it. Truly do. But please do realize that your life is worth fighting for and protecting. Read the comment from @a2.

I know how you feel. I was there. But there is a way through. I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. I don’t know enough about student loans and the payment increases but I figure if some of the people I’ve met recently can retire without pensions and just social security doing minimum wage type jobs out there then there has to be a way for all of us. Please reach out for assistance - talk to someone and people around you to see if there’s something you can do for your debt.

You are not a loser. You're just someone who has been carrying too much for too long and now it feels like you're hitting a breaking point. Please take care of yourself and talk to someone today that you trust like a friend, another coworker or family member. The problems you're facing right now might feel impossible in the moment but they can be worked through. There are solutions out there. Financial struggles and feeling burnt out are common these days, especially given the frustrations you described. It doesn't make you less deserving of love and support. The comments about the parking deck are very concerning to me. If those feelings are real, reach out to someone or call or text 988 today. You've got this.
