The stress of the past two days is really some of the worst I've felt my entire adult life. If I was laid off, at least I'd know what my next steps would be. Like this, I feel stuck in the limbo. I know it'll all probably be done by the end of the day, but still...

My role was eliminated Monday (yesterday) and I am in TOS (IT).
I hope the lady at the top of this string got her answer one way or the other.
My advice, Be Prepared. Send ecards to people while you still can. Make a list of email addresses now. It's too late for me. 22 Years for TOS. 10+ on the Dev Net Board. So many people. I took my ability to look them up for granted. Farewell friends. It was good to know you.
One door closes but another one opens. I pray for everyone these days.
It’s so horrible how they do it. After 23 years I have a ton of business knowledge but I guess when they do it over the phone they don’t have to look you in the eye when they claim your job has been eliminated. I guess they can’t come up with anything better when you have always had good reviews. Then they wonder why those left have bad attitudes.
if you're boss is telling you you're safe then he's lying. don't trust these rats, they will bite you in the @$$ on the day off.
no concrete info on bank teller yet. but if you're a bank teller making 15-17 an hour you're wasting your life. don't be a sitting duck and wait for your turn to be eliminated. Teller is a dead end job.....start somewhere else make the same kind of money with potential of more growth. even costco pays $15 plus and hour.....
for all the c-ap the teller gets from customers.....not worth it. take my advice and get out before they kick you out.
And information on when or if tellers will be eliminated ? If in an open or semi open branch?
All people have not already been notified! They have been laying off for 3 days solid and it seems as though it's going to continue. They wait until 30 minutes of your shift left on your last day of your work week and send you conference call invite and give you the boot. They then try to make it better by saying maybe will have positions open up in the future that you can apply for. They are so heartless and cold about it.
You seem like a major pûssy op. Just consider yourself laid off and get over it.
Why do all of the big banks have layoffs in the same wee?
Good riddance. Us bank is done.
Time to move forward people. Open your own business.
Rumor has it that much more is coming next week. Branch closures are done for now but with another round likely in 90 days. Up to 40% of wealth may be gone by end of week with the community bank merged into metro.
For the person who posted below, can you clarify whether you know of a specific upcoming announcement?
If this news makes anyone feel better, talk is that as of Friday EOD people who have been impacted have been notified and this is it for now until the next announcement comes.
Tellers will be eliminated next in branches surely.
care to shed light on "There is far more coming." comment? Does anyone know what other BL will be impacted?
Do we know what locations are closing I Chicago land ?
There is far more coming. The branch closures are only the beginning. Far more substantial cuts and realignment is coming next week. Many more to be impacted.
All decisions have already been made and informed to employees.
What about corporate people? Are they informed as well?
Are you retail? Welsh said on the Friday call that all the branch people have been notified.
