Capacity of my floor maybe 33% Monday, above 50% Wednesday, and under 10% today. The "for the safety and health of others" card can be played at any time and is replenished weekly. No really, try it. "I woke up with a scratchy throat. I don't... — read more
If you are discriminated against ...
In the event you face discrimination at WF (or any other company), immediately work with a lawyer. They are very good about burning 90-days from the date of event to make it difficult for you to have a case. Document your case early, don't doubt... — read more

CEO - turned rancher d-mbfounded
CEO - turned rancher d-mbfounded when cost-cutting measures to stop mending fences and feeding cattle don’t yield expected performance bonus. Corporate culture rewards all the wrong behavior.
Financial Advisors, Why Stay?
FAs, why do you stay at Wells Fargo Advisors? Isn’t it challenging to attract new clients after years of negative news? I understand existing clients stayed, but surely it is easier to grow at other firms without the baggage. Help me understand why... — read more

Can Your Manager Really Manage?
Does you manager have skills or are they just there because they have non-manager qualities?
Fu-k Wells Fargo
Fu-k this company. Fu-k RTO. Fu-k the non-existent leadership that has no clue about the impact of their half-baked decisions. I hope this awful place fails and fails miserably.
Excellent article: The 9 to 5 Schedule Should Be the Next Work Pillar to Fall

Question — Applying Internally
Hi everyone, I hate my current job as much as anyone at Wells, but I have a quick question about applying internally. Do anyone know what percent of WF employees receive “exceeds” ratings and how beneficial the rating is in the hiring process?

So where is this "nightly cleaning of desks" at?
Desks here at this location have not been cleaned and sanitized at all this week and yesterdays trash is still at all desks at noon today. Covid control???
Wells Fargo's Michael Turrin likes Atlassian, Intuit and Workday
