Discrimination suits for RTO
If there is management discretion on how they "punish" those not adhering to RTO requirements, how do they prove its not discriminatory? Seems unfair and biased if they dont apply consistent rules to all. Communicate with one another and lawyer up!

We Keep Saying 'AI Platform' - But Where’s the Platform?
In every meeting, we talk about building an 'AI platform'. But real platforms enable scale, reuse, autonomy - not just disconnected POCs and wrappers around vendor APIs. If there’s no foundation, no governance, and no shared services - it’s not a... — read more

August layoffs
Any news on what's supposedly coming?
We’re expected to accept whatever comes our way
No matter how out of touch, disrespectful, or irrational it may be. We’re treated like cogs in a machine that's constantly shifting. Tossed around like inanimate objects, controlled as if we were unruly children, and repeatedly disrespected despite... — read more
Restructured out?
I’m hearing a lot about people being restructured into roles that are wildly out of alignment with what they were hired for. I am also hearing management preaching a lot of ‘we need you to be flexible and you may have to do things out of your typical... — read more

Still waiting on that magical RTO explanation...
So far, the only difference RTO has made in my life is more hours wasted commuting and higher expenses. I still haven’t met a single person I actually work with. Doubt I ever will. Any time I “gain” by not working late nights, I now spend stuck in... — read more

I’ve resigned myself to the fate assigned to remote workers
I’m fully aware that our days are numbered. Even if I’m desperate enough to relocate near a hub and shoulder all the insane expenses, I could still lose the job a few months later. It’s clear RTO is being structured to force people out, and if my... — read more
Prepare to be acquired?
The way the bank is laser focusing on cuts cuts cuts, it makes me think its grooming itself to be attractive for somebody to a quite it…. And the MCs would cash out with their golden parachutes then… what about the rest?
Remote employees toast?
Anyone catch EB’s comment around remote workers should consider moving to a hub city or be performing at a ‘high level’? Was that a threat or promise of what is to come for remote employees?!

Mid Year Adjustments
Second year in a row that GK has prevented mid year adjustments and raises from occurring, rather than paying for performance. This has been a core feature for the 20 years I’ve been with the bank and it is directly leading to an exodus of the best... — read more
Not complying with RTO
Never stepped foot in the office. Pretty sure I’m on a list somewhere, but I’m not wasting 2+ hours a day driving just to sit in a ghost town. Fire me if you want, I’m not quitting like you want me to:)
Why am I hearing about more layoffs soon?
Does anybody know what's going on?
Nothing to do
Is it just me? Driving into the office to sit there and stare at the screen is really doin the most to my mentals. I guess I’ll see how long I can stand getting paid to do nothing. This has been going on for almost a year now. Is this a tactic to get... — read more
