Anyone else feeling the pinch at USB lately?

Been with US Bank for a few years now and honestly, the vibe has shifted. Feels like there's a lot more pressure to hit numbers, and the resources just aren't there to support it. Been seeing a lot of 'reorgs' and 'efficiency drives' that just seem to mean more work for the same people, or worse, people disappearing without much explanation. Management talks a good game about our culture, but it's hard to feel secure when you see things changing around you and nobody's really talking about *why*. It's more than just the usual end-of-year crunch. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if I'm just in a bad department. Feels like a lot of quiet anxiety going around.

I hear you. The constant talk about efficiency and streamlined processes feels like it just translates to more stress on the front lines. It’s tough when you see initiatives rolled out that don't seem to consider the practical impact on daily work or the team's morale. Feels like we're always chasing the next metric without a clear understanding of the long-term strategy or how it benefits us beyond the immediate numbers.

Totally get this. The feeling of instability is definitely palpable. Seeing colleagues move on or departments get restructured without clear communication is unsettling. It makes it hard to plan or feel invested when the ground keeps shifting. Management’s messaging about culture feels disconnected from the reality of what’s happening on the ground, and it's definitely creating some anxiety.
