Topics regarding layoffs at Wells Fargo & Co.

What's the point of hard work?

I'm so tired and I have nothing to show for it. I work 12 hours every day and that's from home. I haven't gone to the office yet but if they truly make it mandatory, I can add two extra hours to my workday. What kind of life is that? I haven't... — read more 

Empty office

Sitting in a virtually empty office today idly musing if we will see people come streaming in in the new year to comply with stricter RTO requirements . If I were a betting person I would probably bet against it ….:)

How much money is enough to feel safe enough to quit?

How much money would you need to have in your savings and checking accounts to feel comfortable telling WFC management to f-off and walk out, never to look back? No 401(k)s or other funds that you can't touch just yet. I'm talking strictly about your... — read more 

Empower is garbage

Awful fee scale. Intentionally not user-friendly. Makes users dig to learn typical homepage dashboard info. WF really dug deep to get the Pinto of management platforms.

Good luck to all control owners in 2023

IT&V is a cluster mess. If you needed someone to defend you in court…would you hire an auditor? Wells decided they needed someone to lead their second line testing and hired…a lawyer? Patrick knows little to nothing about risk control or testing and... — read more

Low Ethics Hypocrisy

Why do you work at a bank that pays by billions for consumer and employee abuse? Then turns around and tells employees to cut back. Or lays them off. Don't you want better for yourself?!

Opinion At Wells Fargo, who directed the nefarious acts?

The Dec. 21 news article “Wells Fargo to pay billions as a penalty” reported that Wells Fargo has been ordered to pay $3.7 billion in fines for harming at least 16 million consumer accounts. The harm included charging illegal overdraft fees, seizing... — read more

Is fully remote work putting us at risk?

I hate even the idea of RTO after I've had a prolonged taste of WFH. I have made a few appearances at the office since hybrid was instituted but I stopped when I saw I was one of the rare to even bother. I do sometimes worry if doing my job fully... — read more

How many layoffs equals $3.7B?

I don't doubt for a second that one of the ways to make up for the losses will be through layoffs and forced attrition (dumping too much work on people to see them quit). The only question is when it will start and how bad it will get. We are looking... — read more

Are they still giving out VP / SVP

I know they are meaningless titles but they are giving it to new hires as part of their hiring. I remember year ago they just said they would address it in the future but never saw anything

If leadership really cared about the business….

About 7 years ago my wife’s company (Fortune 500, top 50) sold their real estate and terminated their commercial lease contracts and went 100% work from home, and since, they now get more production and lower turnover than they did with offices. It... — read more

Zoom out, pay attention

CS took this job knowing it was going to take time to clean up the org. Fines were inevitable, it was just a matter of time. The board expected this, not a reflection of Charlie. Wake up
