#meeting

What other departments got hit? Seems like this is going to be another big one. That was a fun meeting, love to hear what others are being told.

My leader has a meeting scheduled with the team on Wednesday for update on HQ changes. Does that mean we're safe from layoff?

Nov 21st - Has anyone heard about some leaders told to keep Nov 21 open for something. I am not sure what...nothing good or just a management meeting? I saw a post here a while back that mentioned it but wondering if there is an update with more information.

Canceled abruptly!

Whenever we have these off sites for our division, I always feel like we leave with more questions than answers. Just once , it would be good to have GPs that can answer questions directly vs wishy washy unclear responses.

Say a mass layoff happens next week like it did back in 2015. Will the meetings where they break the news to people be over Zoom? Will there be a room option and a Zoom option tied to the meeting. I’m just trying to picture how this will all work given our hybrid model, as that obviously wasn’t a thing they really had to worry about back in 2015. I honestly hope it’s just a Zoom call. Sounds less traumatizing lol

Considering cancel this meetings for my office day. It’s hard to be in office by 7am and stay until 8pm to take those calls.

Penny just announced there will be a partnership restructuring meeting on November 5, 2025. This is being presented as a very exciting opportunity for the firm. I would not expect this to be very associate friendly regardless of how Penny tries to spin it.

I was at 12, granted my attention was not full.

#collaboration

I've been here for a year and I've come to realize my manager can’t let anything go. He changes directions mid-project, gives out bad info, and sticks his nose into things he clearly doesn’t understand. Every decision turns into a meeting about making his own boss happy instead of getting the job done. It’s exhausting and makes it really hard to get any work completed efficiently. Is this a known Wells Fargo thing or did I just get very unlucky?

Attend Board Meetings and a few meaningless town halls
Hire Retreads from JPM but cut jobs held by everyone else
Collect millions in stock and salary
Vacation often

Here we go again… another meeting with upper management… you know what that means more bad news for company

Thoughts?

Any ideas why we are having this meeting on Tuesday? Seems weird

I’ve lost count of how many meetings end right where they started. So much talking, no real direction, and when someone actually offers something useful, it gets dismissed. Why is it that the people running things can’t tell the difference between noise and insight?

What a total bore fest…

What the heck were these people even saying?????

Adjournment and Next Meeting Date

All management just left to go to an off-site meeting...

Meeting invites out today for layoffs

Friend just received a skip level meeting invite with a VP.

Should they be concerned?

Any intel on what the meeting(s) tomorrow are about? More layoffs? Restructuring? Consolidation?

Sounds like that mandatory meeting has paid off in huge profits.

What are the dms in meetings this week for ?

So I witnessed to following: I was in WHQ, in an open space on one of the floors. The area had 4 small collaboration tables and an area with workstations. A group of 3 workers sat at one of the collaboration tables to hold their meeting. A man, who was working at the workstation got up, approached the group and told them to leave. He said that they were disrupting him and he couldn't concentrate. The group got up and left but one of the joked about not being able to collaborate. The funniest part is that, within a few minutes after the group left, the man got up and left for about an hour (I assume lunch). I wonder if this goes on all the time.

Several of you confirmed the 3:00 MDT Employee Forum invites went out. Can anyone who attended share what was actually said in the meeting and what the outcome was?

All Imperial employees invited to a 3pm forum.

Newfoundland boy invites you all 5PM eastern

Did other locations get meetings invites for relo?

Anyone got the scoop on what they’re going to say about San Ramon?

I saw this recently.
27 people.
All day meeting ("workshop").
To discuss changing a well design on the sequence in 2027.

I have a meeting with HR tomorrow and I don't know why. All my stats are good, meets+ for sure.

Any advice?

That is all. Whether you make 56k or 250K. You’re still the working class at T . Gentle reminder to protect yourself, get affairs in order. Just be proactive.

What is happenin?

Anything note worthy?

I believe the title says it all. Another week of sc--w-ups followed by upper management and executives acting like school yard bullies in meetings.

But if you get caught not managing resources and tasks correctly, it's just natural to be on the defensive, tell half-truths or complete lies to cover your butt. Or divert attention away and towards another person, etc.

one thing i used to enjoy in corporate sales was the little game of keeping managers away from customers.

it was never about being mean, it was about survival. a manager in a meeting could turn a smooth sales call into chaos. they would talk too much, go off topic, or stumble on details that mattered to the client. i knew that keeping them out of the room protected the deal, and honestly, it protected me too.

every month during one-on-one check-ins, the question would come up: why am i not joining your customer appointments? i would put on a serious look, pull up my calendar like i was searching, and act thoughtful. after a pause, i’d say something like, i might have something next week where your help could be useful.

of course, i never followed up. no invites ever went out. by the time the next month rolled around, the same conversation would repeat, and the cycle kept going.

that small trick kept my meetings cleaner, my customers happier, and my sales life a whole lot easier.

Why do we need several meetings to decide something that should take five minutes? It looks suspiciously like people just drag stuff out to make themselves look busy. Meanwhile, I’m doing real work and stressing about layoffs, and they get praised for this nonsense.
