2.5 to 3 hours commuting daily, gas through the roof, plus all the other office expenses. I feel like an id--t for doing this. If RTO actually made sense, maybe I'd feel less bitter. But it's pointless. Counter-productive even. All the corporate spin... — read more

Sound like they haven't hit puberty yet?
Start incorporating AI and it’s the start of your layoff
Isn’t it cool how the bank is training us in AI and encouraging us to try to automate some of our processes? No free lunches here. Every process you automate is one more step towards your own layoff. Even the things that aren’t successful highlight... — read more

Led the risk controls self assessment fiasco, now getting promoted
RSCA was a paperwork fiasco. weeks of meetings where managers were bullied into nonsensical compliance tasks that don't manage an iota of risk. Reward: Promotion to CAO! Well, so much for 2026 efficiency gains. Maybe AI will hallucinate the...

I want to axe a question about layoffs
How does Wells Fargo decide how many weeks of unemployment benefits do you get if they lay you off? I have nine months now since I joined Wells. So what would I get if I get let go?

3/17 Layoff
Storm is coming! Did you or your department get the ax today? Tell us about it.
This full day and 4-day RTO will significantly reduce productivity because:
Folks will spend more time finding available seats Will spend more time commuting during peak hours Will log in less at home if 8 hours requirement is met for day. People may work on different shifts like 6am-2pm vs 9-5 vs 10-6. It’s... — read more
Recommendations of any kind
Is it true that the bank won't allow for a manager to write a recommendation for a former employee? In my particular situation, I used the LinkedIn recommendation tool and requested one and that was the response I received. I tried this because a... — read more
Floating Holiday 4 hours
are we allowed to use our 2 floating holidays in increments of 4 hours? I submitted 4 hours in workday but did not receive approval yet, and that usually happens quickly and my boss is on Pto and my colleagues don't know the answer
Will tickets from work stop spamming me
Seriously- how many times do phony benefits get trotted out? There are three things people care about - layoffs, health insurance, wfh. Anything else is just fake benefits.
I'm on my third manager here, and they've all been identical
None of them understood the team's actual strengths and weaknesses. All of them resisted using people in the roles that made sense. And every single one was a passive-aggressive micromanager, always interrupting, never actually contributing. At this... — read more
What I wish someone told me
When I started out, I believed that working harder meant getting ahead, so I often stayed late, skipped lunch, came in on weekends, and even covered for people who weren't there because the company wouldn't hire enough staff. Do you know what I got... — read more
2 weeks later
Did everyone see that thoughtful message that came thru Teamworks last week about the United States and Israel attacking Iran and starting a full fledged war? Yeah me neither.
Stock Decline
Wells Fargo supposedly is doing better than it's peers but has declined from 95+ per share to 74 in a short time. The market is showing skepticism, clearly, of the firm and something appears to be wrong , perhaps unknown. I can't imagine being an... — read more
Procedures here are the most cumbersome and ancient
This is my third bank. All are bad, but this one is the worst. I come across stuff that seems like a remnant from the previous century. With all that fancy management and hefty consultant fees, you'd think they would have streamlined some processes... — read more

How many people are cc’ed and how many go to needless meetings
I’ve never seen anything like WFC when it comes to this. The reason people are busy is because they are cc’ed in a million emails. Seriously if you have to cc the entire team with rare exceptions your team su-ks. And god- some people live to attend... — read more
Severance lump sum miscalculation
Looks like wells botched severance lump sum payouts and is sending out checks and letters for those who were underpaid.
Premier banker settlement.
I read where it will be voted in soon. I see some speculation with the average payouts. Does anyone have any idea how much a long term premier baker may receive?

Is it a good idea to speak on LinkedIn about what employees are going through inside a company while still working there? I’m currently at Wells Fargo and honestly I hate the way some of us are being treated. I checked job openings on Workday and... — read more
Meeting overload
Three meetings so far today. Every single one, people staring at screens or out the window. Nobody wants to be there. Nobody is paying attention but looks like nobody cares either. What's the point??
