Empower email: your personal investment is ready
But clicking on the link shows nothing, (confused)
Can you taste it?
Just a few days till 12/15 when you secure what may be your last 401k match. Invest it wisely. 2024 gonna be nuts, the company is already downsizing but when you add economic hurdles onto it, many gonna be axed.
A couple tech areas had displacements today.
Long-term remote employees who weren't near hubs.
Independent Risk Management (when?)
When will IRM begin to chip in with displacements? I keep hearing IRM risk people are somewhat protected, due to RCSA, MRA and consent order activities. Should I try and get a job within IRM to keep employed?
What’s going on in IAM??
Just curious if anyone has heard anything in identity and access management as far as layoffs or any rumors ?? it’s been really quiett… do we have enough mix of Indians and US employees??

Hub location
Quick question…if you are informed that you are being impacted are you given the option to relocate or do they just lay you off.

I don't know how a CEO could be more embarrassing
To meet expectations, you either increase revenue or cut expenses. There is no other option. Growing revenue requires the cap to be removed. Charlie is wholly (and obviously) incapable of doing that. So Charlie's ONLY play is to cut. That is why he... — read more
What is that saying, "when the ship is sinking?"

Year end freeze
Since the year freeze starts this Thursday what are your plans? As this time every year with the year end freeze we will probably be twirling our thumbs as there is not much work we can do.

Just curious, but would like to know as I have been putting off my new employer for a bit now, although they are cool with waiting.
CIB Markets Future/Prospects - with cost cutting backdrop
With Wells/Charlie announcing $1BN of severance in Q4 and signalling to the investors that "efficiency" will be achieved with more costs cuts/layoffs, how does this backdrop impact the CIB Business ? I recently moved to this Business from another... — read more
401k withdrawal
Ok idk why I’m asking here but I am. If I cash out my whole 401k will the company still do the annual match?
Does this happen at other companies?
My boss continues to tell us that management watches our card swipes but my boss continues to come in only about half the time while the team comes in nearly all of the time. What gives?
Is there an end point to this EFFICIENCY?
Will Jamie's protege ever stop with the layoffs?
Odd that the offshore thread was deleted.
I get that there was a lot of unnecessary racism but there were also valid complaints about things a lot of people weren't aware of. Why is WF trying to hide this rather than just police the thread? The fact that offshore is treated better than... — read more

Wake up to reality
I read articles about employees in Des Moines trying to unionize, and how they think that will motive the company to be more employee centric. That's hilarious! Some of you people are utterly delusional and it is sad. The company got billions in... — read more
are bonuses normalized across similar roles?
Given it seems so much of TVC is based on what you got last year, does HR or anyone do any comparisons to what others in the same role/location/perf are getting and adjust accordingly? Seems ripe for issue especially when all else is equal and some... — read more
IT&V Reorg?
Anyone hear anything about a reorg in February? Seems like most of the jobs in this group are going to India.
Has anyone seen the Employee Satisfaction survey results?
Or whatever its called. I've heard some rumblings in town hall and it sounds like the results were pretty ugly for management. Anyone seen anything?
