When do you think they will announce abms, bankers, bssos role mapping? What’s happening to branch managers? How about the employees of the branches that are closing??

Senior Management leak that several FIU/CIU/QA etc.. folks will be let go soon after performance reviews next week. They will nit pick reasons to bring your score down to justify layoff.

Did anyone else receive work equipment , i.e laptop , etc just to be then told you are laid off and have to return it? How does that make any sense?

It’s been almost three months since legal day one and I think it’s pretty ridiculous that most of us still don’t know if we will still have a job or not!

Can access anything in the horrible designed US Bank temporary browser. Constantly locked out, multiple hour long calls to their IT to no avail. All they do is blame UB computers and don’t actually help. Can’t enter my time, manager can’t edit my... —  read more 

If you’ve not been already

I might be wrong, but it seems to me that the overwhelming majority of those who are being laid off are from our side. We are not low performers, we know what we're doing, but that doesn't seem to matter. I know that's how businesses and corporations... —  read more
