What’s with turning the live captions on & off in Teams? And then if you want it on you have to submit an accommodation? Isn’t it just a tool in Teams that everyone can benefit from?
Conduct Management?
Who are they and why would they want to meet??
SO FRUSTRATING
It’s so frustrating here at the barn. I feel like hr forgot about us. Why would they just leave one department in the building it makes no sense. They say they want to be as transparent as possible but yet here we are sitting back having no idea... — read more
Performance ratings are a joke!
Putting in the same level of effort as last year when I was rated an Exceeds at mid-year and this year I’m rated a Meets at mid-year. Why bother? Just going to coast from here on out. Corporate America is ki-ling any desire to care about our... — read more
Sad. Angry. Disheartened.
As a long time employee, I have witnessed many changes in this company...Some good, some definitely not so good. I don't mind change. Change is the better part of my job. What I do mind is that once I loved coming to work, but not anymore. I loved... — read more
Senator Warren calls on Fed to remove Wells Fargo board members
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/u-senator-warren-calls-fed-remove-wells-fargo-195441023--finance.html
Hey Fargo
What’s my routing number? How much did I spend on groceries? How many fake accounts did Wells Fargo open in my name? How much money was skimmed off my savings account? Just how soulless can the management of a major corporation become?

June 23rd Team meeting
We have a scheduled team huddle in a conference room at 2pm. Could this be our layoff notice?
1990s Commercial: guy sitting on a lawnmower
There was commercial back in the 90s of a white collar middle manager sitting on his riding lawnmower muttering to himself: "I have a mortgage, wife, 2 cars and 3 kids in college. Please help me!!" I think it was EF Hutton or something like that... — read more
Layoff managers gangs
"Managers are going to use mid year review to remove people who are not part of their gangs."~ previous post
Anyone else put on PIP's this last week for stats?
Did anyone else suspiciously get put on warnings for stats this last week, in what is a clear attempt to thin the herd right before layoffs?
Demotivated employees
Nobody seems to care anymore. Most of the people are doing the bare minimum these days because they can't muster the motivation to give a damn. It's so weird to see this every day, to see it actively affect productivity, and to realize that nobody... — read more
Wells fargo
It will not let me open the link, but interesting headline.. CNBC https://www.cnbc.com > 2024/07/18 Wells Fargo says it's time to buy banks as a Trump trade 1 day ago - Banks made a comeback during this week's rotation, as the Financial Select... — read more
Save the date August 13
Spoiler alert, big day for location strategy.
Bullied by my manager
What should I do?
Perhaps this is the catalyst we needed for more offshore regulation?

Backing up/saving code I created

WXPS - Leo's upcoming meeting from Hudson Yards
Absolutely hilarious, under the section Live Q&A, one of the bullet points says "Embrace Candor". Where to even begin? First, who is Leo\WF to instruct me to embrace candor? The poor marketing (social engineering) the company does to its workers... — read more
Tech teams - efficiency opportunity
Never in my life have I witnessed more conference calls needlessly and mindlessly prolonged all because 1-2 people just keep talking when the action items have been concluded. Someone could say ok I will follow up and get back to you after the call... — read more
Crowdstrike
Well at least we know there are people worse off than us. Took a peek at the Crowdstrike layoff page. Folks are already packing up.
Mgmt are control freaks
I wouldn’t mind if it was for the sake of efficiency and work results. It’s not, and never was, the best mgmt style, but I would tolerate it if it was about work. However, it’s not. It’s about exercising power, control issues, petty office politics... — read more
Testing Teams
FLIV and IT&V are useless. They aren't interested in collaborative Risk Management. They are interested in wielding control and failing teams. They are incompetent.
WAVE
Why are there issues with VDI every single day? It’s obviously a complete failure and they need to revert everyone back ASAP! So much time wasted on their so called work arounds.
Problems with Payments
Whay all the payment problems? Did they layoff those folks too?
Mr. Boss
So my Mr. Boss unfollowed me on social media on Monday. July 8. The following day (you guessed it-Tuesday after Payday)...I thought I was getting laid off or terminated. What I received was a verbal warning. Does that last 6 months? If I get laid... — read more

Exceeds Expectations
Hey guys I got an Exceeds on my mid year review. Is this a good sign?
Voluntary layoff list - your experience/observations?
I'm not sure if the entire bank has this option, but at least some depts do. We were told months ago that if we want to be voluntarily laid off (it was worded slightly friendlier as you'd expect), then we'd just need to tell our manager, and our... — read more
Barnhart center
Building is pretty much empty every other week - lay us off already!!!!
West Des Moines WARN Notification
Looks like 24 people are being laid off in West Des Moines. Anyone have details on this?
Not exactly a “layoff” question but more of a hiring question.
If I were to hire on to WF, would they require me to move all investments that I have, under the management of Wells Fargo? Example: Move all JPM mutual funds that I own, transfer under WF investment management.
Disgusting
I had a one on one with my boss for my mid year discussion. My boss made up many fake comments and hinting I will be on PIP.
Reviews are just a cover for selection at will
In exchange, work as little as possible, take as much as you can, and always search for other jobs. In this day and age it’s silly to try to prove yourself in a workplace. Hard-workers can be gone as fast and easy as someone acting as a beach goer... — read more
Fake account scandal, fake interviews, and now fake reviews
When and how are we going to hold managers accountable? Enough is enough!
Stacked ranking
Remember folks, wells implements stacked ranking when it comes to review time. There will always be someone that has to take the hit with a bad review. Not everyone can be good! Which is obviously not true, but that's how it goes 🤷♂️
