Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Kim Weakley 33 Years and 9 Months Later

After 33 years and 9 months with Wells Fargo, Kim Weakley is leaving, roughly a year after being appointed an executive.

Andrew Freymann inherited Kim and, in my opinion, made a good call. Under Kim, the culture often felt like “my way or the highway,” and there was a perception that certain people in her organization were protected from accountability.

Now the attention turns to the leadership structure she leaves behind, especially the San Antonio CSM organization. New leadership should mean new expectations and real accountability, not the same culture with different names.

After all these years, this could finally be the reset the organization needs.

HR doesn't make recommendations, they make demands that they call recommendations. I've seen it first hand and that's one group that I don't mind watching get outsourced into oblivion. They deserve it, right along with CPG.

@dp And just one last fact worth mentioning: since the new Site Leader came in back in July and started holding leaders accountable, several leaders who were previously perceived as protected under Kim’s leadership have been trying to jump ship to other departments. Now, with Kim leaving, I wouldn’t be surprised to see even more follow. The Titanic analogy practically writes itself.

San Antonio has also been one of the poorer-performing sites within EDB, so accountability and a change in leadership shouldn’t exactly come as a shock. When a new leader comes in and starts challenging the status quo, you quickly find out who was comfortable with the old one.

Interesting response. The original post never mentioned ER, grievances, investigations, or whether anything was substantiated or unsubstantiated. Yet somehow your defense immediately went to “ER has likely found these grievances to be unsubstantiated.”

That’s a remarkably specific subject to introduce when nobody here had mentioned it. You seem to know quite a bit about the issues that have plagued that site and what may have been happening behind the scenes. Sometimes, in trying too hard to defend a situation, people reveal more than the original post ever alleged.

ER makes recommendations, and leadership ultimately decides whether to accept those recommendations or assume the risk. After 33 years and 9 months, perhaps if certain risks had not been assumed, she would still be around. Yet here we are on a layoff board.

ER finds all grievances unsubstantiated unless there's a smoking. Otherwise nice puff piece.

the companys documented culture is to retaliate

@ I feel compelled to offer a different perspective. Kim is one of the strongest leaders I’ve had the privilege of knowing—kind, attentive, responsive, and deeply invested in people. She leads with clarity and high expectations while listening, coaching, developing talent, advocating for others, and holding herself to the same standards she expects from everyone else.

Claims that people were protected from accountability are serious and should be supported by evidence, not perception. ER has likely found these grievances to be unsubstantiated.

After more than 30 years of service, Kim’s career should be remembered for its extraordinary impact, leadership, friendship, and commitment to helping others succeed. She will be deeply missed—far more than this post suggests.

The funny part is, the "one idea" that Shart has isn't even his. He's following the crowd like a sheep, and doing what the overpaid consultants tell him to do. He doesn't have a single original idea. Share holders are paying this guy $30M+ per year for bad speeches and TV show appearances. There's no other value there. He's the most expendable person in the payroll, top to bottom.

It's always hilarious to see an AI rephrase some obvious-mo--n's misperceptions about how the world works like this.

Using AI to write another catty post about a female exec is a new level of incel.

Until the head of the snake is cut off, the snake survives. The problem is chainsaw Chuck. The man with ZERO fu--ing ideas other than firing people. Place is a complete clown show.
