I was so burnt out I dreaded coming into the office every day. Today, I got laid off and it feels like winning the lottery. I know finding a new job might be tough, but this was long overdue. It’s better for both me and Wells Fargo that we part ways... — read more 

What a great day. I received the call this AM. I heard in my managers voice uncertainty about their own future. What a mess, they have a whole heck of a lot of stuff they need to unwind to get themselves off the firing line. For those who did not... — read more 

It doesn't matter how good your metrics are. They'd rather have a True Believer with sh---y metrics than a competent performer who occasionally utters a critical sentence.

If you were awarded RSRs in precious years which vest over 4 years, did some of your shares vest this year even if you work for a competitor. The layoff docs say to refer to the RSR docs and my lawyer had difficulty understanding those. This is for... — read more 

When did Iselin NJ got added to core location list? W/o any announcement of any sort but now several new job posting are for Iselin, NJ as primary location.

Tomorrow is Termination Tuesday! Anyone have any deets on the targeted areas ?

I was just asked, well, told to come in to the office 3 days per week. This is ridiculous as I've been working remotely for years and years. Is anyone else dealing with this too?

For the mandatory 3 days in, people have been working 4 hours in the office and then going home to finish their day. Is this accurate. I don’t see anything that states it’s acceptable per WF.

WF needs to clean house and get rid of so many worthless layers of managers doing NOTHING.

Us Oregonians think we will be laid off October 14 which follows the Tuesday following a payday which is what they’ve been doing typically. The thing is, October 13 is Columbus Day holiday so would Wells Fargo really lay us off the Tuesday following... — read more 

AI becomes the perfect non-human scapegoat: it’s inevitable, it doesn’t sue, it doesn’t organize, and it doesn’t tarnish the brand. CEOs can point to AI as an “external force of change,” instead of taking accountability for strategic missteps, bad... — read more 

Looking for details on in-office reporting. If someone is in-office for a half-day and on PTO for a half-day on the same day, how does the reporting pick that up? Does that count as one in-office day or two?

is there any negotiating with HR with a better severance with company standard. This would be probably related to older workers since finding another position will be difficult if not impossible

Rumor (and its only a rumor) has it that there may be layoffs this coming Tuesday. If so, who will it be? Which line of business will finally be set free? Or will it be a clean sweep of every soul? " Spin the wheel, around it goes. Where it stops... — read more 

I'm just trying to get all my ducks in a row before they let us go, and yes, hanging on for the severance. If you opt for installments, a severance check every 2 weeks, they deduct insurance which would be cobra, which is expensive. That may mean... — read more 

After years of giving everything at Wells Fargo, I’m completely worn out. I’m coasting through the days, just waiting for someone to finally let me go. Being told it’s over would feel like a weight off my shoulders. I’ve lost all drive and the... — read more 

We sure told them!!! …exactly what they wanted to hear.

If my teammate and myself are marked Critical, what does that mean for us? We both work in non-core city locations (hybrid). We're also close to retirement plans, and are hoping for a layoff with severance at some point in the near future. Thanks.

Just pull up your org’s .zz’s in Outlook/Teamworks and you will see that the majority of the displaced employees were Caucasian. Subtle DEI activity?

Is it possible to apply and get another position that is only hiring and locations if you are full-time remote? The hiring manager is interested, but I do not know if they know where I am located. He reached out to the recruiter and the recruiter... — read more 

Looks like none of the good workers want to stick around here anymore. The ones who actually know what they’re doing are bailing as fast as they can, and that says a lot about how things really are on the floor.

Sounds like they are turning the program upside down and making all kinds of changes. Layoffs for that team too?

What is that new role?

Why does Cash Vault have such high turnover? They are contract workers, so they don't get displaced, but it seems like they come and go so quickly.

I see it is encouraged to limit the number of internal job application to 5. Anyone knows what will happen if I am applying for more than 5 positions at the same time?

If someone gets displaced say on Tuesday, August 19, does that mean they can interview for a job but tell the prospective employer they can start on October 20th? 61 days after the displacement..

Any word on SF overall reduction?

Is it possible to prevent getting a remote exception or can a manager put you in for one without your consent?
