Any news on whether Concord, CA will remain a speciality hub next year?

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... — read more 

I've heard rumors that employees will eventually be required to work in the same location as their manager or a certain percentage of their team but nothing definite.

Or is it "sign this or get nothing?"

How many have experienced racist managers in Tech? Seems like it seems to be very prevalent. HR aware of this?

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.

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?

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.

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?
