I love how leadership claims forced stack ranking isn’t happening. It is. 100%. India is not part of it. So if your team has 15 US and 5 India the rankings are only for the 15 US. That means one or two of you will get less than meets even if you do... — read more 

I’d love to know how much money is being burned on that hallucinating mess, and how many people were pushed out specifically “because of AI.” Sure, most cuts were really about offshoring, but some people absolutely were replaced in the name of AI... — read more

Been with WF for a looooong time. And I have to say, this is the worst nepotism I've ever seen. Its true. And for those of us who have been around as long as I, we might have gotten one or two back in the day. Soon, they were acclimated to WF and we... — read more

Once there was a bank that made record profits because their employees worked to lift the asset cap. Then one day Scrooge decided force rank employees so at least one from each team got cut no matter how good they were. That year the families that... — read more

Pretty sure "managers" outnumber the employees considering I found over 2,000 that have no direct reports. Is Wells running a laundry??

Everyone in your management chain above your 1-up are buddies from a previous financial institution. You would think they might try to hide that fact rather than broadcast it. The who you know, not what you know, is in full swing.

Just FYI- pregnancy is a valid reason for an in-office exemption. It's called an "accommodation request" and extremely easy to submit the form. I submitted the form at 3pm and I was called the next day at 7:30am and it was approved by 9am and took... — read more

I was laid off on October 28 and I was wondering when they pay out the unused PTO. Thank you in advance for your response.

I heard they cut some of the fat cats at the top of the hierarchy. They are making them reapply for their positions while also providing severance pay? I haven't noticed any of those positions listed either internally or externally. From what I hear... — read more

Does anyone know if maintaining a 3 day average in 2025 will impact bonus/ratings this cycle? If I had to guess I was at a 2.8 for several months. Not sure how this will play out end of year. Any insight?

They are talking about AI. But most people will be interested in layoffs. Layoff is driven by AI + offshoring.
