If people can't collaborate virtually, then training needs to happen. I have been in many different roles at Wells Fargo. I can't think of a single one that would have had a better outcome if people were together in person versus communicating... — read more
risk townhall
DF came right out and said within risk rto of 3 days will be enforced in 2023 and failure to comply will effect perf and comp.
Corporate Risk Town Hall
"Some of you love coming into the office daily, and some don't like coming in at all. We have created flexibility to come in 3 days a week. In risk, coming in 3 days a week will be tracked and monitored. In 2023 it's time to come back to office. If... — read more
This SHEETHOLE can't do anything right
Received an email about bonuses for next year, item 3 says look in Workday, click on compensation then the plan name will be displayed in the plan assignment section. Hey id--ts in HR: 1: There is no top level COMPENSATION item in Workday, there is... — read more
Gift card phishing exercise
After failing for two years to even come close to inflation with raises, while straining many families’ budgets with RTO and associated expenses, teasing us with a holiday gift card as a phishing exercise is quite an awkward blunder. It’s about as... — read more
We're Better Together, but...
The cheesy RTO slogan of 'we're better together' is weird. It's basically: "We're better together, but no one knows the difference unless a report is run." If we're really better together, it should be obvious on its face. A report shouldn't have... — read more
Wells Fargo ESOP Settlement
Got an email this evening about a payout by the end of year. No real details
January layoffs?
It seems like a mass layoff is expected at the beginning of every month now but I was wondering if anyone had heard anything regarding the upcoming layoffs
Your location is in use
I’ve been seeing this icon more and more lately. Maybe there is some truth to tracking attendance by network activity… which begs a few questions: Do they not have anything better to do than track our every move? Shouldn’t our leadership care... — read more
Incentive/ bonus payout date?
Anyone get a date yet for the incentive/bonus payout? I heard an email went out today from HR to those whose role qualifies for one.
Wells Fargo is so unsupportive
I swear, this is the shittiest, most unsupportive company I've ever worked for. I can't leave here fast enough. Can you imagine working on a team where your leaders think you are going to fu-k up and not get the job done. Can you imagine having a... — read more
Brian Moynihan said he’d never lay his people off at the holidays
BofA CEO Moynihan vowed in a speech Tuesday that BofA would avoid layoffs and he would instead, “reshape our headcount” — a strategy that involves freezing most hirings and the usual pace of employee attrition run its course. I wonder if he got... — read more
Super rude to come to office while sick
Today I am working in one of the Connections spaces where people from various teams come to work. This guy is sitting here coughing loudly and blowing his nose constantly at his desk. It’s hard to believe that someone could be this oblivious to how... — read more
Empower 401k email - forced app download
I just got the email from Empower, yet when I go to click the link to ‘Take a look at my personal investment’ it forces me to download the app and does not allow me to just use the web browser. I refuse to download an app just to look at my account... — read more
How long can THIS continue?
I finish my daily work in about 45 minutes. I timed it today. That includes turning off the alarm clock, crawling out of bed, getting dressed, taking the dog out, turning on the coffee maker, and starting my laptops (one for work and the other for... — read more
401K match pay date
Can someone remind me of when WF pays out the 401K match? Don’t want to lose it, so planning my notice day accordingly.
Virtual Holiday Party
Our manager scheduled a virtual holiday party for next week! Does anyone know how that works? Are we supposed to buy our own beer and do a watch each other drink ?
Not news to us but…
DM is reporting the below. This isn’t news to anyone on this site but when MSM starts having these stories, I believe it scares people on Main Street and then they get tighter purse strings, etc. Self-fulfilling prophecy and all that. Morgan... — read more
Layoff Question
When it comes to being let go they say there is a 60 day working notice. Is the 60 days your severance if you are under 5 years or is it 60 days plus your severance? Just trying to figure this all out.
Data Analytics Tools
What sort of data analytics tools should I be learning in order for me to be more marketable so I can leave WF?
Confused by all the RTO posts
Is anyone’s office actually bustling? Mine’s empty. I hardly ever see anyone come in. A few do but it’s definitely not three days a week. Office is empty after 2 pm. More people used to come but it’s died down. I kind of assumed everyone’s org was... — read more
I find it laughable that people think WF is competent enough to enforce RTO
When has WF competently implemented ANY initiative? Pretty much every project I’ve worked on here has been a disaster. Half the project teams don’t even know what they are doing and how can you blame them when leadership is a mess. And the way that... — read more
Holiday Gift Card
Probably the sickest phishing effort yet by the firm. Seriously, on the run up to Christmas when I've been working my a-s off. These jokers have nothing better to do?
Earth Wind and Fire Really?
Wells spends money on a band from the 70s to play at Hudson yards but doesn't fund the bonus pool fully. I know the scale isn't even close but the optics of it are terrible
I still think RTO compliance rumors are bullsh-t
All these rumors about compliance yet the buildings are empty. I live near two hubs and I hardly ever see anyone. I came in today and there were literally three people including myself on the entire floor. By 2pm, it was just me so I left to go home... — read more
Plan your Last day as the First day of a month
To get 1/12 of you annual PTO (that you’ve sure as he|| earned, make sure you give your notice so that your last day falls on the 1st day of the following month. WHY, you ask? Because Wells Fargo credits 1/12 of your PTO on the 1st (biz day) of... — read more
PTO Payout
If you quit do you get the balance of your PTO paid to you or is it just gone?
Adventures in the office
Lugged my 10 pound bag filled with my laptop, headset, snacks and lunch, water bottle, and office shoes since leadership decided we no longer deserve assigned cubes and we can’t leave any items at the office. Saw 6 people today on my floor (a... — read more
Earth, Wind, Fire
These guys can't even record the audio right, its so low you can't even hear anything. I like how Charlie has this concert in Hudson Yard for himself too.
Wilson Towers Watson- Cash Balance Plan
Has anyone had issues getting a hold of their cash balance at Willis Towers Watson? I uploaded all the forms and was promised a check mailed shortly after Dec 1st. Now I can't get into my account online and when I call they say it's been "delayed"... — read more

https://twitter.com/RepMaxineWaters/status/1598693811252875264?s=20&t=0yCVrBhhQwHVI7OjVKBTag Waters is seriously backstopping Sam Bankman Fried. This guy straight up stole tens of thousands from my buddies. Our elected officials are straight up... — read more
RTO crackdown starting Jan. 2023
Despite crackdown starting in January, I'm never going back to the office.

ERISA settlement
The Court granted Final Approval of the Settlement on August 31, 2022, and the Settlement is now final. Settlement distributions are expected to occur by December 2022. Anyone hear or see anything further yet on their personal settlement?
Classless what's her name thread disappeared?
Don't like the thread, poof we pull it. As long as it's anonymous no one knows. Really Chuckles? I'm calling Elon
People are coming into the office sick again
Seriously just let people stay home if they need to. It makes no sense forcing people to come in 3 days a week to spread germs during flu season

How much is given in severance pay if layed off? Inquiring minds would like to know. Time here =? Thank you.
Officer title eligibility question
I'm in a group of 9 people that report to the same manager. All 9 of us have the same job title. I am the only one with an officer title according to the Job link in our Workday profiles. Is there a salary trigger that causes someone to have an... — read more
