If you want to curtail the bank's efforts to ship jobs overseas, push your respective critters in Congress to revive S.409: No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act (https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/119/s409/text). Anything short of a huge public outcry or financial cost will not stop GK the MC from replacing us with offshore labor. And it's a better use of your time than donating to the PAC.

You would think that "American financial services serviced by Americans" would be an easy thing to grasp and enforce. There is no reason to export office jobs other than to skirt regulations and take advantage of preposterously low labor costs.
@OP said this was about USB jobs. I think it could apply to JPM too since they have GPC's in India as well. If exceptionalism prevents white collar workers from unionizing and no one wants regulation, how do you think anything will get better anywhere you work? Self-defeatism isn't going to change anything and neither will hoping for a better CEO, since all big firms are chasing dirt cheap labor.
The JP Morgan quarterly result announced today is comparable in dollars to what U.S. Bank would generate during a full calendar year in a good year. Not on anyone's radar, not relevant in any circumstances.
Ha! Good luck! Those critters are bought and paid for by the likes of JPM, Goldman Sacks and such heavy weight. GK and USB aren’t even on anyone’s radar.
