Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

People are overreacting

The 65% going to the hybrid model are "generally" expected to be in office 3 days a week. Has no one actually noticed the word generally in the announcement?? This isn't the first time what they're calling hybrid has existed at US Bank. It's just new to many people that will fall in the category. Some people will still have to go in 5 days, even mapped to hybrid. Some people may go in once a month. It's going to depend on the actual workgroup. Most people will have variable schedules depending on need.

Another complaint being repeated is that people with preexisting conditions aren't being considered. The government protects people that have genuine need for reasonable accommodation. It's not something to cry about on a company intranet page. It's something you bring to HR and management for actual approval.

In short, I think people are incriminating themselves, not actually proving they deserve to be remote.

I don’t think you really understand. They absolutely want every hybrid person in office 3x a week. Generally is a just an “in case” word that our company uses as a failsafe. We got pretty strict instructions to “map” our staff into distinct groups and were told that we have to be consistent with the hybrid implementation (e.g, ensure hybrid employees work in office 3x a week.) It’s not until people started to complain online about the inflexibility of the work location options that we started hearing a little bit of “we’ll figure it out, we have plenty of time to solve this” and other empty words with unclear or nonexistent action behind them.)
