The union has lost steam!
Discuss. It seems like the union has really lost steam since order and sanity have been restored a bit in this country and people are once again interested in a merit based economy. The union was only ever a terrible idea that catered to people who... — read more
Does volunteer day count as in office day?
Would half day volunteer day count as in office?
Cloud
How's the cloud migration going so far? Barely any workloads have been migrated, and the platforms team's "paved road" is a minefield, and it's substantially more expensive than anyone estimated, and only getting more expensive. Now, this week... — read more
People who want everyone in the office are the biggest losers
I’ve met a few people who love coming in 5 days a week and the thing they tend to have in common is they’re miserable, have no life outside work and wished everybody else was forced to come in and be miserable with them. Almost every one of these... — read more

WF Hiding the numbers
When Charlie joined he said he wanted WF employees to number around 180K. That was when total head count was around 260K most in the US. Starting in 2025 they stopped using the Cost Code we could look at for the numbers displaced at any given time... — read more
How do they plan layoffs in terms of lines of business ?
I was wondering how some are done earlier in the year and some later .
Coffee Badging
Time to get rid of people coffee badging. If an individual is unable to spend a minimum of six hours in the office, it is likely that their productivity at home is even lower. Down voting this statement only indicates that you may be among those... — read more

Supervisors
I work with a lead or supervisor, depending on who you ask, who perfectly illustrates the Dunning-Kruger effect. If you are not acquainted with this concept, I recommend looking into it. I have a strong suspicion that numerous leads/supervisors at... — read more
One year later... Same old Wells Fargo toxic agile?
I’ve been reading this board for over a year, and it’s depressing—Wells Fargo’s IT culture is still a toxic dumpster fire, maybe worse than ever. A year ago, posts (https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1rZD3QH0) called WF “anti-IT,” with backstabbing, siloed... — read more

Looking at the location of people on teamworks, I see people listed with the location of the state they are in being “Remote-002” or “Remote-003”. Is there a difference for those numbers? Is it something to do with location strategy?
Parental Leave
Does anyone have experience with Parental leave when both parents work for Wells Fargo? Do both parents get 16 weeks leave as primary parents? What happens if you get a layoff notice while on leave?

I asked my manager and she told me she had no involvement in layoffs and didn’t know the night before she had to lay someone off . I don’t know I hard this find to believe .
