Allegedly, last year there was a lockbox location that had a manager that hid work in a conference room for months. Prior to the work being discovered several low level workers were displaced due to their being so little work. A few sites were... — read more

Breaking Wells Fargo up is a fair and responsible solution
It doesn’t mean they would be shutting the bank down and it doesn’t mean employees would be losing their jobs. It just means they would be spinning off different business lines in to smaller more easily managed and regulated companies. It would be a... — read more
7/11 layoffs
Looks like almost 700 people were termed on 7/11. The doubters that kept posting every 2 weeks claiming that nothing was happening can su-k it, just like the Hudson Yards crowd. Domestic WF workers are being exterminated, and it will continue so long... — read more
BS
No one is breaking up this bank. Wells Fargo will come out ahead.
Sunday Evening - No Scaries
I'm so grateful I don't have to go work at Wells Fargo tomorrow! I don't have to wake up in the morning and work for corporate hypocrites, their hub strategy bullschitt, while their CEO created his own hub and wouldn't work at HQ. I'm grateful I... — read more
Notice Period & Severance benefits if not going to office assigned in workday
Hello friends, At present, I'm not not going to a Loc as per assignment in workday. If laid off soon, will I still get 60 day notice and severance?
Its now been 4 years since Scharf hired to fix the bank - we are no closer to getting asset cap lifted.
Filed under: Failed management When regulators g-n shut down this bank? Excuse after excuse, delay after Daley. The only thing Scharf was interested in was firing employees and using the savings to do stock buybacks. Regulatory issues were... — read more
Has WF hired a new head of mortgage yet?
Kristy Fercho announced she was moving to a DEI over a year ago, still no replacement? She was a disaster in her short tenure as head of home lending they had to promote her to get her out. Where’s the new mortgage president?
I think the bank’s story will end with it being broken up. See my reasoning below:
Four years have gone by since Charlie became CEO. We are still under the Federal Asset Cap with no word on an ETA, and violations continue to occur under Charlie’s watch. Regulators have accused Charlie of putting too much focus on profit-... — read more

When Charlie is removed, or announces that he is stepping down “to spend more time with his family”, do you think the stock will move up or down??
Companies like WF needs a dividend trap
I am by no means pro-regulation but companies like Wells Fargo with inadequate controls and sub-par leadership (this asset cap has been going on more than 7 years, whether it's an inability to fix things by CS or predecessors or both) needs a... — read more
Working at WF is for losers

1B Settlement - Are You In?
Any tips or hints on how to figure out if Wells ows you anything? I am just a mere-mortal team member, with a 401k plan, trying to get my tiny morsel of the settlement.

Flashback in history: misleading statements, laughable theories and condemnation regarding Wells Fargo’s progress on the Federal Asset cap:
Jan 2019: “CEO Tim Sloan expects the bank to operate under the asset cap through the end of the year.” March 2020: “CEO Charlie Scharf testifies before Congress that Issues will not resolve until 2021.” Dec 2020: “Top WFC executives expect... — read more

Anyone email CS? Ask why he’s so quiet
Has anyone ever? It’s beyond bizarre that a leader of a huge global workforce would be so silent. Does anyone even know what the vision is for this company anymore ?
It would be better if they just sold the bank off
Its selling for under book. Makes more sense to liquidate the place. No more tax revenue for San Fran, regulators fired, just create a giant economic mess with 230,000 out of work. If that's what our corrupt gov't wants, i say go for it. Stop... — read more

Where is CS?
He’s normally always quiet. We get a quarterly town hall after each earnings report. But we didn’t get one last time. Where is this guy? Things feel eerily quiet
Leadership has officially given up
With no movement on the lifting of the asset cap, incentive compensation plans for branches are already expected to be rolled out again this fall when we don’t even have the proper controls in place. Does no one else see this as a problem??
WF Hacked?
It’s all over Twitter. The Titanic is going DOWN
It's been 4 years and Scharf is done
Announcement coming.
