Marketing just cut ~100 jobs
I'm at the end of my rope
How come that you can work 14+ hours a day and it still isn't enough to get everything done?
Layoff Mechanics
How does US Bank let you know you're being laid off? Does HR send you an email? Boss call you? HR set up a Teams call with you? Usually happen 1st thing in the morning or late afternoon?
Contact Center exempt from RTO?

New VPN
The new VPN will be tracking your location. It will capture your “home IP” and if it detects you are off it you will need to get the new IP approved. To the remote folk with no “hub” at ELAVON/USB… the end is near! It was a fun ride. Exec... — read more

I know various people are no longer in the org chart this morning. All that I know of are out of Portland (Tigard office). Does anyone have details?
Chicago RTO

RTO is just the job cut strategy
Nothing more, nothing less. And some tax cuts for offices full of people spending money around hubs as a bonus. How do you perform, how competent you are, how productive you are - none of it matters whatsoever.
Where are you at?
Shock, denial, frustration, depression, experiment, decision, integration. Where are you at with RTO? Because if you live in any of the first 4 descriptions it’s rough.

Will they listen to us when they see so much strongly disagree?

I'm fully remote, but there's no HUBs in my state and the nearest US Bank office is well over 50 miles from my home. Per my boss, no changes for me, at least none in the near future. Probably the long term outlook isn't the best, but I thing I'll... — read more
