Recently I read that for a new hire they mandate 60 days of notice period to leave with the wording under fullest extent of law. Is it true that you can’t leave without 60 days’ notice? Do they pursue it legally? I also read they have arbitration so... — read more

Bullsh-t Metics
Anyone else fed up with the false metrics leadership is using to measure success in the risk and control space. Its ironic that the department that was built up because of the sales metic that was an illusion of added profits is now deploying the... — read more
2027 RTO
Is anyone else hearing whispers of five days a week next year? In Corp Risk and a few people have mentioned hearing that rumor over the past few days.
Has anyone actually seen employee survey results yet?
Doesn't usually take this long. I didn't expect them to be positive because points at everything, but with how long they've been holding back results, they must be BAD bad this year. Anyone heard anything?
Request for “accomplishments”
Any other groups receive a request for employees to provide their top 3 “accomplishments” this year? Seems odd for this outside of mid year / year end reviews.
I can’t wait when Big Tech swallows Big Finance after AI
Scharf is so corrupt that his c-suite continues to lie, lie, lie that work produced by AI is not the product of the employees who know the subject matter to properly use AI. I will laugh when after Scharf is done firing everyone - big Tech price... — read more

mid year review comments updated
Less than meets. Received email today that my mid year was updated. There are more notes. Asked manager, they said we'd talk tomorrow. This happen to anyone else?
Wells Fargo is the most back-stabbing culture I ever worked in
Nowhere else did I have to protect myself from credit thieves, lying managers, spineless supervisors, and VPs who abuse their authority - all at the same time. It's a horror show.
Our Path Forward
We will re-arrange the chairs on the Titanic and call it a day.
Severance Question: 1 month vs. 2 weeks per year of service
I was looking through my new employee paperwork from when I started at Wells many moons ago, and at that time the company policy was 1 month of severance for every year of service. Sometime in 2017, the policy apparently changed to just 2 weeks per... — read more

AI will do your work for you but make sure you read everything because it doesn't do it right so you're going to spend twice as much time checking the AI. Don't worry about using tokens because we're going to optimize for tokens and anyway no one got... — read more

Question on Contract job RTO
Sorry to ask this here but are contractors required to go to office 3 days or there is no in office monitoring for contractors?
If you have tenure, are old, using an accommodation or using too much insurance, listen
You are going to lose your job. I didn’t say get displaced—I said lose your job. The directive from the top is to get below 200,000 employees by year-end. Too much money was spent on displacement last year, and they cannot afford to repeat that. So... — read more

Can someone explain what the difference is? For example Central Supervision, Specials Surveillance , Compliance people in the Markets, Finet branch supervisors, internal branch exams etc. Who is who?
Why do we still have branches?
Does anybody outside of boomers even go there anymore?
Anyone hearing that severance packages are going away?
I heard that folks on laat displacement didn’t get packages. Any truth to that?
Going through stockholm syndrome. What is the earliest one can reapply to get rehired?
Obviously wait until your severance is a month or so from being done since the hiring process is about 4-5 weeks from first interview to job offer on average. Some licensed positions are quicker since not everyone can apply vs anyone off the street... — read more

Is Wells Fargo going to start allowing customers to purchase cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and some sort of stable coin? If this is real when will this happen and how?
