Topics regarding layoffs at U.S. Bank

Why are the managers so protected against layoffs?

In light of all the insecurity, layoffs, reorgs and whatnot I have tested to see a wave of layoffs that will thin the management structure. I mean, why do regular working-bee employees have to be the victims, when we all know that the over blown and... — read more 

What motivated you to quit?

I've been on the fence for a while now. I keep adding things to my pro and con list (and the con list is significantly longer) but I still can't get myself to take that final step. What was it that pushed you to finally say "sc--w it" and tell them... — read more 

Problem with layoffs

Some of the best people have been cut but those who are known to be lazy and who can barely do anything are still there. Isn't that crazy?

Layoffs in small chunks

Layoffs in small chunks shrouded in secrecy - honestly, I didn't even expect any fairer approach to layoffs here. This has long ceased to be a place where employees can feel respected and valued. Does anyone have any idea how many people have been... — read more 

When is it going to stop?

When will it be enough? I know my weekend will be anything but relaxing having to worry about what the next week will bring regarding more layoffs. Then it's the week after that and then who knows how many more. Are they intentionally trying to... — read more 

More coming next 2 weeks

Across various business units, there will be a blood bath. Have heard of cuts/layoff coming in at least 4 different areas. Lots of FTE to reduce. Hoping my 24 years saves me but what I have seen over the last week, don’t think there is much to save... — read more 

Best thing that happened to me

Best thing that happened to me was I was laid off 2 years ago. I was stressed for couple days but now I look back and so glad I am no longer there. Not only do I make more money but It also helped me unlock my potential.

Nothing to worry about as the recession ravages the economy

Nothing to worry about as the recession ravages the economy... Customers will carry a zero balance on their credit cards, a zero balance on personal credit lines, there will be no new commercial loans, no new home mortgages, no new car loans, nor... — read more

Plenty of job opportunities out there

Being laid off (if it happens) could be a blessing in disguise. More pay and the opportunity to work for a company that isn’t a dinosaur of the banking world.

Signs that someone may be facing a layoff

Fortunately, I wasn't affected although I am still very anxious. I am sorry for all those affected and I hope that they will soon find much better opportunities. For those affected, I'm wondering if there were any signs or red flags that you... — read more 

More layoffs today

I've been hearing that there were even more layoffs today. Can anybody say what was hit and how badly? I'm getting tired of this whether it's true or not. My stress levels are through the roof and even unsubstantiated rumors make me go into a panic... — read more 

ELAVON PAYMENT SERVICES

Has anyone in Elavon/payment services been laid off or heard of any upcoming layoffs?

Cheaper labor will not fix anything

I don't think cheaper labor will contribute to the U.S. Bank gaining any comparative advantages over competitors. What can cheaper workforce fix here? The bank needs talented employees, which is most of those who are cut! It's awful what's going... — read more 

Attrition should be enough

This is what I think makes these layoffs even more illogical and unnecessary than usual. We have huge attrition currently. Some of the best people are leaving, meaning that people who earn the most are leaving. That's not good for the bank but when... — read more 

Media coverage

Once again I am very disappointed with the media coverage of the layoffs here and I wonder why it is so poor?

US Bank: Yet another "Bad Bank" cliche.

I for one am taking my severance and not looking back. I've been with US Bank for a long time and it's only gotten worse over time. There's a lot of other companies out there that still have some humanity, so don't fret for to long over these... — read more 

This week will be rough

I don't think we've had layoffs on a Monday often before. That can only be the sign that this week will be busy regarding cuts so they decided to start early. I honestly thought we were done for now, so to say this has increased my stress levels... — read more 

Outsourcing TOS to India

They already outsourced TOS support to India. Looks like they are migrating other parts of the company to India. Does anyone know if this is how all banks are headed. It seems ridiculous for a bank called U.S. Bank to be replacing it's workforce... — read more 

Just to check

I think that we've determined that the layoffs have stopped for this month at least, but it doesn't hurt to check. Is there any indication we can expect more layoffs this week?

Plenty of available jobs

I've been looking through all the usual sites in the past week or so and I found more than enough open positions in all the major banks. I was worried that there would be none since there are layoffs all across the industry, but I was wrong. This... — read more 

Can I volunteer?

This is not a trolling question. I've been here a little over ten years and I'm ready to leave. I don't have anything lined up yet but I do have a few irons in the fire. I would have no issues with being laid off. In fact, I would welcome it. Plus... — read more 

They keep laying off hard workers

That's something I'll never understand. The fact is we do have fat that needs to be trimmed. We have people who spend most of the day doing nothing or who have been here for years but still don't know what they're doing. But somehow, those people... — read more 

Many layoffs due to poor leadership

Really pathetic how poorly USB leadership executes… I know multiple people who were hired on, many on new sales teams or initiatives that were poorly thought out and laid off within a year or two when leadership changed their mind, realized they... — read more 

More layoffs and job eliminations coming

All other business lines have them coming soon this month. It’s going to be disgusting how many are let go. I know of entire groups/depts that are going to be impacted hard. Saving a buck at the expense of all the hard working people keeping this... — read more
