She basically came on saying no questions at the end of this All PCS team call. They are getting eaten alive and are trying to avoid questions now.
Firing Remote
It's officially happening, they are firing remote claims and disputes people, anybody who's not close to a hub location. Confirmed with emil from EFDC. What su-ks is that they hired remote people to help during covid, and it's now they're just... — read more
Is your sales “leader” the same?
Professional meeting attender. Calendar always appears full. Spreadsheet-centric, for everything. Meets with entire team 2-3 times weekly, each meeting 1+ hour, overly repetitive and negative tone. Has weekly 1-on-1 with each direct, only... — read more
Inline promotion
I am a grade 14 remote employee and have been working my tail off to move to a 15 in my same role. Can any leaders share if this is even possible now?
Do all needs improvement result in PIP?
Given the mandates to give a % needs improvement, does that mean those people won't get severance? Is that why they are doing it?
Merit and Bonuses
Has anyone received anything? It’s suppose to be available this week and no one on our teams have heard anything.
I think I am done
It’s official. After over a decade committed fully to this company I think they have broken my morale irreparably. Between being told in my performance review I went above and beyond and could not have done a single thing better but could not get... — read more
Stay strong. Keep yourself clean. Keep your values. Keep your integrity. Don’t become infected.
I had a target on my back and hung in there the whole time. Actually succeeded and exceeded in the complete he-l and misery a few (managers) made my life for years. We are talking years. YEARS. My marriage, family life, and social life were all... — read more
Issues with connecting to vpn/ layoff?
Hi! I am a remote worker and I was able to log into windows, however I went to connect to our VPN and my connection has been deleted. Am I possibly being laid off, has anyone had this happen
Never thought I'd say this
I'm now rooting for a layoff. I've earned a decent package and I'd happily take it and run. How messed up is it that people with years of service would rather be shown the door than stick around? Says everything about where this place is at.
Waiting
Nice for them to make us wait until the middle of March for LTI and AIP!
Layoff strategy
Now that the January layoffs have taken place I’m curious to know what the directive or guidance was on those and how managers were asked to select who. Also, what awaits downstream? I think we all know this isn’t over.
Townhall Likes
In a day of social media, only 21 likes on the Intranet page for the townhall is quite embarrassing
RMC - no more inline promotions
Just heard it from a leader in RMC that JR in RMC doesn't believe in inline promotions anymore. You have to get a new job in the bank to get a promotion. Of course that only applies to people who are not remote. The only people getting promotions in... — read more
Is 11 days in office the real cutoff?
Factoring in vacation, sick days, holidays....how many days do people actually need to reach before getting flagged for not complying? I'm aware that eleven days equals 100 percent.
Bonus/LTI
I’ve heard a lot that merit was low this year. Can any leaders here shed light on what to expect for bonus and LTI? Assuming a meets expectation review
How to stay motivated?
Serious question. How are fellow employees staying motivated after low to zero expected rewards?
Loyalty doesn’t pay
Four years in and my last raise was only 2 percent, but a recruiter just reached out for a similar job that pays 15 percent more. It’s frustrating realizing staying put can cost you this much. Makes me wonder if loyalty to one company is really worth... — read more
What has happened to this company?
I left over a year and a half ago due to unethical behavior from management. Hearing from others and seeing what's written here, it sounds like US Bank is in a dumpster fire that just keeps burning with no end in site. You would think that people... — read more
Equal work = equal pay ?
How do they continue to defend and justify the pay discrepancies within the same job roles and functions? Especially with women or POC. 🤔
Check on your scrum master buddy - they laid off a few agilest
Who going to coach us on the next sprint?
Can we lay off the entire C-suite?
I don't think there's much to lose and there's certainly plenty to gain.
Where did severance policy go?
Any clue where the “severance policy” went? There used to be a laid out plan of what that looks like and now it seems like there are updates to the HR policies, but none that layout the specifics.
“Talk to your leader about comp concerns. We’ve tied their hands!”
We manage our employees. We’re supposed to push them for higher goals. But we don’t get to compensate the employees we want to.
Chief HRO is unbearable…
Not sure how you guys think
Ridiculous
This “All Colleagues Call” is a joke. GK’s tone alone was offensive, her words were so contrived and calculated. They are laying off in small groups to avoid having to report the true numbers due to Warn act! They think we are d-mb and we are not. ... — read more
Townhall
Expense management to priority #3, does this mean we are done with cost focused layoffs?!
Laid off in treasure mgmt
I was a product manager laid off with no notice. The severance package su-ks. Plus given less than 60 days of pay until I'm officially laid off from company. I think they are trying to get rid of Remote employees.
January RTO report
Is your January report available to view yet?
So tired of being asked to do more to make up for layoffs
I’m now being pressured to take on the work of another team that was let go when my own team was recently cut by more than 50%. I already can’t deal with the extra work left by the people who were let go on my team, let alone try to help another team... — read more
Glassdoor
I am incredulous that 50% of Glassdoor respondents would recommend US Bank to a friend and 30% approve of GK. These figures seem way too high. Do you think HR tracks these and comments to raise the numbers?
Overtime- Taxes
Does someone know what the difference between FLSA overtime and regular overtime is on payslip. I am curious why FLSA overtime for the no-tax-on-overtime for tax reporting.
Townhall tomorrow
Who’s ready for the Townhall? Anyone planning on posting a very legit, accountability question we all can thumbs up so it gets answered?
What’s the layoff strategy?
I know there are people active on this site that have been helpful as we’ve faced these recent layoffs. I’m curious if they, or anyone, has credible information on the strategy here. It seems this past round had a large focus on remote, performance... — read more
“Chief Administrative Officer” role at the bank
What does a CAO do? What does your BL’s CAO do? What are their responsibilities and are they really needed at the bank? I feel like it’s another inflated title for someone without a real role. What am I missing?
The final insult
Do it. Lay off the productive people again. Promote the ones who are best at politics. The company will keep declining, and I'll be long gone, relieved to not be part of the slow-motion train wreck anymore.
USB has lost the best of us
Veteran employee here. Never in my 20+ years here have I felt so stressed, so anxiety filled, so burnt out, and so diminished. Leaders at the top continue to use smoke in mirrors with what seems like government classified secrecy, while all the... — read more
Irrelevant Middle Management
If they are shifting employee led initiatives like employees are responsible for development efforts and writing their own individual goals. What's the point of top heavy management? We dont need them! They cause more risk to the company by being... — read more
CRT / EFCC
This should be concerning to U.S. Bank’s CEO: There is an ongoing concern regarding the excessive number of management positions within EFCC specifically CRT(Grade 14 and higher) within U.S. Bank. From an employee perspective, many of these roles... — read more
