Are they going to be asked to return or are they just forcing the hybrid people first?

Why are they laying off mortgages this month? Won’t we get busy again in spring

U.S. Bank claims to desire diversity, but this RTO requirement shows that it really couldn't care less. All they care about is people who are able to get to the office, not the quality of our work. WFH makes full-time work more accessible for... — read more 

For now, I don't see anything positive in returning to the office, neither for myself, nor for this place, which will have a significant drop in morale, and therefore productivity.

I heard you were looking comfy working from home today all the while telling the HR department they’re going back to the office. Hypocrite. You’re an intricate part of the organism. It’s as----e.

My spineless manager has already told us to be prepared to come in when my team is geographically dispersed all over the country…ugh. Can’t wait to be sitting in a cubicle in Teams meetings all day. Time to dust off the resume…

I don't care anymore. I will stand my ground. If that means I get fired, then I get fired. There are still available remote jobs, it shouldn't be too hard to recover. What I will not do is allow this company to drag me back when the majority of the... — read more

I talked to about 26 people in my department already and none are going to follow this directive of going to the office 3 or even 2 days a week. One person said they might go one day a week. No one is interested or amused by this subject.

Is it just me or does it seem like they're trying to make things miserable so people leave on their own instead of being laid off?

They want us back in the office. I hope they are prepared to deal with people coming in sick with COVID, Flu, cold and spreading it to others because they are forced to be in the office 3 days a week. They are enforcing this but people will be the... — read more 

Is it true mortgage laying off before Nov 1st? What are all these meetings

My manager is so excited about it. He has nothing to do except micromanage and create busy work…he’s so eager for us to return so he can feel important again.

Will they be returning to the office 3 days a week instead of working from their home office in their mansions? I mean they do make 10x what the average worker makes so I’m sure they would mind leading by example.

There are plenty of people in home based positions that live within driving distance of an office but were lucky enough to get categorized that way. Now HR is not approving requests to be categorized as home based. How does this make sense? Why... — read more

Paper paper

I share the opinion with some poster here who wrote that no one would even notice if half of the mid level management was laid off. Agree?

Anyone know with the union bank acquisition, if layoffs of usb employees will occur? Or maybe more positions will be outsourced over seas? Specifically claim/call center areas. Wish I could get a glimpse of the future with the bank.

In my town, the Roadshow meetings are happening soon. We got the email invites this week... Most of us. Would you find it suspicious if departments who normally go to the Roadshow, didn't get an invite?
