They just have to hold onto the money till the last minute. Each year merits and bonus payments seem later too!

Has anyone received their merit increase % yet? Trying to see what I should expect.

Let the unfettered McKinsey begin. Get that efficiency ration down now. Layoffs anyone,

Let’s start by saying the quiet part out loud: most of the “agile leadership” still hanging around the bank looks like the clearance rack of corporate transformation. Folks who washed out of Best Buy and Target and couldn’t quite stick the landing... — read more 

Anyone else's manager losing their mind and creating insane and unclear and unreasonable expectations they cant even explain? Its like there is absolute no accountability for these middle managers running amuck reeking havok and creating chaos.

It nice to feel better than the colleagues because the boss like you and pays you more. But when the eggheads at central office start running spreadsheets and who can get cut to save money, you stick out like a sore thumb and an easy choice to cull... — read more 

Does a reporting dashboard going up mean that 3 days hybrid is here to stay?

It looks like one is now available

Rachael Clark told her group a few weeks ago that the bank is letting MN folks work from home until January 30, but she expected that to be extended. Has anyone heard if that has changed?

On a Sunday and of course no mention of safety measures and work from home for Minneapolis employees due to unrest. Typical clown CEO. Donate while I cut your jobs. Can she get any worse?

Serious question: has strong performance ever actually stopped a round of layoffs from happening? It seems like they happen no matter what.

I am in OR hub, but if I am in MN hub, no way I am going to in. Have they send out emails this month to nit go into office till the chaos dies down? Will we get an email on Monday telling us to go in if we can?

This is the thing we're not talking about enough. https://www.startribune.com/us-bancorps-ceo-pay-increased-14percent-in-2024/601233686 U.S. Bancorp’s CEO pay increased 14% in 2024 Andrew Cecere realized $15.9 million in total compensation for 2024

I am having a hard time understanding some of the layoffs. Is it just targeting highly compensated people, and replacing them with cheaper, less qualified labor? Not quite sure how G plans to pull this one off.

What am I aiming higher for? Maybe a 2% merit increase if I’m lucky? I’m so incredibly sick and tired of being told I need to do more while being offered less and less. The whole MC is garbage and needs to go.

I'm in tech. Involuntarily moved to a different team with an entirely different stack for the year. Umm I don't know how to code in their language. I'm expected to just start contributing right away. Like... What? So I have busted my a-s for years... — read more 

Ok now that round 1 of layoffs have taken place, what does anyone know about round 2? I’m sure we all are smart enough to know there’s multiple rounds and a list.

Targeting the level 15 was long overdue. Most of them were promoted due to favoritism and not talented and do not contribute anything significant over a level 13. Many of the grade 15 I knew were given LoP out of favoritism, failed many... — read more

The lack of any mention of relaxing RTO minimums while also sending out daily safety alerts (sometimes more than 1 a day) to those of us working in downtown Minneapolis is appalling.

The average age of employees grades 14-17 seems to have dropped by over 10 years since 2022 at least in Sekou’s org. Clearly driven by layoffs. We’ve seen what looks like blatant examples of age discrimination. Pushing an over 50 to a unique role... — read more
