Since Wells Fargo seems determined to have a lot of small layoffs instead of one major round like the majority of other banks, what are the chances more of us are getting cut this coming week?
Merit Increase
I work at Wells and got a meets expectations, do you think I will get at least 19% merit? I worked 40 hours a week and created several PowerPoint decks and served on a DEI Committee in 2022.
Rumored that Wells Fargo is contemplating a name change, similar to Facebook becoming META
The new name, pending approval will be: Dewey, Cheatem and Howe.

"If your ethics will allow you to invest in a bank that rips off its customer. Wells Fargo is an interesting value investment."
Dont forget to add - peeee'ing on others.... No other bank offers that perk - maybe Wells Fargo is just an early trend setter soon others will follow. https://medium.datadriveninvestor.com/can-wells-fargo-wfc-survive-a-recession-bdae803d4a4 — read more

Corruption is in WF's DNA

Can we hear one positive thing one of these days?
Between layoffs, RTO, issues with raises, so much bad publicity, and so many other negative things I'm getting burnt out and overloaded with bad news.
