After a little time away, you see the sad dysfunction much clearer
After leaving the company after 10+ years with WF, I’ve had some time to really reflect and process the work environment at WF. Here are some random thoughts and observations in no particular order. the complexity and over-engineered work processes... — read more
How many of you here started in an entry level position?
I did. Started as a phone rep and worked my way up to a 6 figure salary in a little under 10 years with an (admittedly worthless) officer title. Yes, I had a college degree when I started. This gave me the opportunity to really learn the business... — read more

ANNIVERSARY CUBES!!
Just left Wells Fargo and wondering what to do with two of these. Toss? Has anyone found a use for these cubes? One is for 10 years, the other 15. Always thought they looked cheap. Door stoppers? Please post you ideas
Wells Fargo has not been good
Look at https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/prog.php?parent=wells-fargo Has all the management been fired that were around during these?
Are there any efforts to Unionize Wells Fargo?
I’m so sick of the shyt with this place.
Do you think Wells Fargo promotes based on merit?
Why do you think so?
I'll give Wells a C- letter grade
The other day when I took a long walk around the offices, I was a little surprised to see that nearly the entire IT group was not in their cubicles. I later found out that this is the way it has been of late. That is on top of the other areas where... — read more
The truth is that the Wells Fargo C-Suite can’t survive without the employees
They don’t know the basics or the complexities of the business. They don’t understand the technology and the manual workarounds that keep the bank up and running. They are not bankers, tellers, traders, research analysts, accountants, financial... — read more
‘Escalate Penalties’ Against Wells Fargo
House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters, D-Calif., says that the hundreds of millions of dollars Wells Fargo agreed to pay over its “myriad” offences have been insufficient to deter it from... — read more
Senior control management specialist
How much is your salary ? The range is so wide at 84-150. Where are you at on this scale? I want to apply for a role but not for 84k
Covid
I’m trying to understand why Wells will not tell you if Covid is in your office and especially if you were in direct contact with them. Who makes those decisions? My husband job alerts him everyday if there is an active case in their hub.
How much do Senior Officers make?
Like what’s their salary, for real? I’m a Lead Officer making right around $150K… are these fools pulling in north of $200? I wanna know. Is it hard to score one of these positions? I’m borderline returded so help? God bless Charlie and the holy... — read more
Layoffs during or around maternity leaves?
Has anyone else been laid off during or very close to their maternity leave? If not illegal, where does this sit in the “ethical decision” making model?
Poor team morale
I am in a team that brands itself as “new” since everyone came externally due to the on going regulatory issues. However, the MD of this team is clearly on a retirement path and is looking to just get paid and and coast through for the next few... — read more
Scarcity of fully remote positions
The last time I was looking at job openings (about a year ago) there were so many available positions that were fully remote. At the time, I decided not to leave, but now I realize that might have been a mistake. I've started looking again recently... — read more

DEI Headcount is slowly ki----g the bank
It might be the cost of doing business, but an unskilled workforce with poor work ethic is driving the place into the ground. Our political overlords just don't know the destruction their causing here. The last 2 financial melt downs were directly... — read more
CIB layoffs
Heard there were some layoffs in CIB. Does anyone have any intel which group was impacted ? Charlie wants to grow this Business but not sure how it can grow with an asset cap and broken/outdated technology. Overall seems to be a good business based... — read more
blame the bad employees
When I was there I knew employees were involved in serious misconduct including se-ual harassment, embezzlement, stealing, and no work was ever done. Burn them.
Forgot badge
My understanding is that to be counted as “in-office” on a day we need to badge in and connect to office network. I forgot my badge today and had to get the security guard to look me up and let me in. Anyone with knowledge of the nuts and bolts of... — read more
The good times are ending for office workers
Michael Burry said on Tuesday that the U.S. labor market is about to be sliced in half, with blue-collar workers remaining a sought-after commodity, while white-collar workers see job losses and falling wages. In other words, the good times are... — read more
Unfair RTO exceptions
People in my department are getting RTO exceptions just because they don’t want to RTO. Yet my particular team gets no exceptions unless there’s a medical accommodation. We do similar work. How is this fair? We all report to the same OC member... — read more
Working Mothers Discussion
Any working mothers on this board? I have a 2 and 8 year old boys. It's difficult to manage but somehow I do. How about you?
another rto take - do you want a job or a career
I like how this guy puts it and he gives his employees a choice but let's them know that choice could affect long term career advancement https://fortune.com/2022/06/27/office-work-determines-job-career-path-jefferies-ceo/
Who made the decision to set up all our printers to automatically print on both sides?
Old news, I realize. I appreciate WFC attempting to go green (interpretation: cut costs), but this is just another example of someone not getting it. Or not personalizing the decision to the department. First, they took away most of our printers... — read more
Why are you even coming into the office?
I'm on a floor that easily holds 200+ in an open desk seating arrangement. Yet, every one of the focus rooms stays full with people parking it in there all day. Given the lack of people in the office, you can sit out in the open and still have... — read more
If You Answer Yes to Any Of These 7 Questions, Your Workplace Is Probably More Toxic Than You Think
In fact, if you're running a business, it's worth asking whether any of your employees seem to practice these behaviors regularly. Do they insist on holding meetings when less-intrusive means of discussion will do? From the sabotage... — read more
What do you like about WFC?
It's easy to list things we hate about WFC, but here's a real challenge: name something you like about the company.
Crypto Crash
Looking back, WFC finally allowing wealthy clients to invest in crypto currency (one year ago) should have been a foreshadowing of crypto’s eventual crash. Wells Fargo comes in at the tail-end of everything. Never a leader, always a follower. And... — read more
Is anyone else just NOT coming into the office?
I don’t come in and no one ever asks me about it. My manager thinks RTO is stupid. And his manager never says anything to me about it… so you know what? My a-s stays at home. And honestly? If anyone has craap to say about it, they can eat my godd... — read more
Head of ______ Operations
Quite a few of these LOB specific roles posted that will report to Lester. The salary range is massive! 276k - 645k? Roles are all based in NY. I thought the range was quite large for my title (111k - 197k), but this is insane
RE: FAKE INTERVIEWS at Wells Fargo from a Former Mgr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jopIT8m6-Rk&list=WL&index=83 As a former Manager at WF, I can attest to the truth of this!
My manager feels our stock will hit $60 before EOY?
When I ask if she knows something that I do not she just smiles and says no. But she feels that we'll recover and hit $60 again. Not sure what to think about it but I still do keep some of our stock in 401K...
RTO...
Anyone KNOW if PTO counts towards your RTO for the week?
Name one thing that you hate about Wells Fargo!
