Can somebody explain to me why the same thing is not happening with US Bank? They opened fake accounts for customers, got called out on it for a few days in the media, and then nothing? Barely any mention of it? Is it now suddenly acceptable to do... — read more

Layoffs based on location
Our department is hearing rumors about layoffs related to location-remote. We hear that you won’t be given an option to move to a hub location. Is anyone else hearing this or been through it? Any managers hearing about this?
Let talk Midyears
Recently joined a new group in Wells (in May)…my old manager wrote my mid year. There hasn’t been any performance, mid year or money conversation since joining. Since I have no one I can ask, figured I’d start here with my peers. Questions are- ... — read more

2 days in office instead of 3?
Someone recently commented: Some groups are testing two days a week in the office instead of three. I’m curious if anyone’s group is doing this and what areas are testing this. Prefer 5 days wfh but 2 would much be better than 3!
Employee retention is abysmal
It's not just seasoned employees who're walking away, new people are leaving within a year of joining. This is why I can't understand the talk about more layoffs. We're losing more than enough people, including those who make more and are usually... — read more

Remote work caused most of the bank’s problems.
Charlie's Town Hall

The Risk Org here is freakishly HUGE
We have like 4-5X the headcount the other large banks do for Risk. In addition we've spent billions paying outside consultants for the last 5-6 years just on addressing Risk issues alone. What's the deal with this place exactly. Is it just... — read more

Can the government step in?
The asset cap isn’t getting lifted. The last effort is the Risk and Control Self Assessment also known as RCSA. Basically asking the front lines that have failed to manage risk to evaluate themselves. If the inevitable RCSA failure is enough to get... — read more

I've been at my new job for about a month
It's a smaller bank I joined for about the same pay but better benefits. In the last month, I realize how wrong it was to take the toxicity at WFC as something normal. It's not. Places with good work culture exist and I've realized that is more... — read more
Barely any tech jobs in California
A small bit of jobs in the Bay Area, but not Southern California. What gives HR? WF prepping for that eventual California leave?
Bigger Raises This Year
Charlie during yesterday’s town hall said this. What do you anticipate that could mean? Maybe 4% on average? I think a typical raise is 2% historically it seems like.
Quiet Quitting Trend

Remember when
Remember when Charlie first started and every town hall would open with some sort of risk management framework update? I guess that was 3 CROs ago. The asset cap isn’t going anywhere. There’s no reason every town hall shouldn’t open with an asset... — read more
Were town halls ever useful?
Or was it always just an opportunity for management to parrot the usual issue-of-the-day while expertly evading providing any real or coherent answers to questions and things employees actually want to hear about? Is that the whole twisted purpose of... — read more
