How are people still receiving "Remote" exceptions? Either for themselves or their people? When you search someone on the Intranet, you will know they are fully remote when you see this: Physical work address: Remote Remote, STATE ZIP USA
Ethics Llne is "phone a foe"
The fastest way to get terminated is to call the Ethics Line. Ethics don't exist at WF. Proven on a daily basis. Buy a muzzle or duct tape instead. Much better investment.
Let's play the Career Mobility drinking game!
Every time you hear or read about "career mobility" here from management at Wells Fargo and have had yours taken away, down a shot of your beverage of choice! I'm already hammered this morning.
I often wonder why Managers don’t use their power, influence and contacts to take a strong stand against Charlie & Co.
Charlie states he is “transforming our institution while supporting our customers, employees, and the communities we serve”, but you know nothing could be further from the truth. Managers are privy to the e-mails, meetings and plans which prove the... — read more
There are lots of rumblings about something big next week
A much much bigger-than-normal layoff. Don't know which day.
Colleague laid off in CLT-CIB today
just sharing per the name of this site
Called it: Bank of America
Not only was the bank's fraudulent activity (since 2012) met with swift announcements and fines, now the bank's profits are reportedly up 19%. Two big banks, same fraud, two different results. Why? WF oversold themselves as a trusted brand for not... — read more
Stop sending calendar invites for your PTO

Look at job postings - US vs India
Since I am just waiting for the axe to fall, thought I'd search on the internal job boards. Do a search for Product Owner or Scrum Master and compare the # of avail positions in India vs. US. India-103 US-55 Its like this for every search I've done... — read more
When your team is moved then your mgr leaves the area...
I called this a month ago when they said our team was being moved under a totally different organization. Just had a last minute meeting with the boss where he said he is moving to a completely different team/area. They've done the same thing in 3... — read more
KK's SSO Town Hall just now...
I'll paraphrase KK: "The company is doubling down on the location strategy, and you'll receive ample notice to apply for a hub job if you're in a non-hub location before you are canned." The writing is on the wall for many of us in... — read more
Jira Retrospective......
Who enjoys this activity?
I'm gonna use a dirty word: "Union". But hear me out.
Listening to the news around the SAG-AFTRA demands and things like the company that replaced it's customer service with AI chatbots (Dukaan) has me thinking about the pending encroachment of AI. I think it is reasonable to think that most of our... — read more
Senior lead risk officer
What’s a fair base salary these days considering the revamp of the bonus structure?
HR Limiting Your Job Apps to 5!
Anyone see this announcement? HR really su-ks seeing that it has ALWAYS taken 2-3 months to hire someone. With all this outsourcing and layoffs it appears to me that someone decided to tamp down what we’re applying for in the US so they can lower... — read more
!First my job is offshored! Now someone in India used my personal data to open credit cards!
Long story short, I was displaced recently because of offshoring (and yes, I did RTO 3 days a week too). Now I find out someone is opening up and attempting to open up credit cards in my name. My credit and ID theft monitoring company informed me... — read more
Home lending risk
Anyone have insights into the irm functions? Seeing a few good paying jobs on that team. Interesting since lending is on the decline but that doesn’t mean the risks disappear. Is it a new team?
Your anger and hostility at off shore members is misplaced
What do you expect them to do, not take the jobs? Not better their life? Not make a living?
HEY TROOPS! SHOUT IT OUT.. TELL IT HOW IT IS. YOUR JOB IS BEING OFFSHORED ANYWAY
///Layoffs will continue as they have been and pickup./// ///After falling victim to Charlie's unoriginal strategy of offshoring American jobs, and H1b. The reason stated was my role was offshored to India & Philippines. It put alot into... — read more
HR is a trainwreck
Had to call HR tech support as I could not access teamworks from home to see my payslip. The Indian guy that I waited on hold for 25 minutes could hardly speak English. He told me my employee ID number did not exist nor did my email. Basically I... — read more
Is it appropriate to have a personal relationship (friend/friend) with a Manager?
What's OK and what's not OK???
Layoffs coming to Risk & Controls and Tech in next 2 - 3 months...
Layoffs coming to Risk & Controls and Tech in next 2 - 3 months... For tech it will be engineers and developers.. All thanks to the > 8,000 people they hired in India...
Mid Year Raises
How can someone get a mid year raise? Are they possible in this day and age?
Any Layoffs this week?
Since this is a layoff board, anyone know of potential layoffs this week? And I don’t mean, yes they happen every week but more about which groups?
Can WF afford to keep losing their best people?
Cheap labor doesn't mean qualified labor. Replacing great US based workers with someone cheap offshore will get this place exactly what they are paying for. Additionally, when there is no consequence for poor performance, and no reward for good... — read more
EA is a cluster flock
For an organization that is supposed to be about governance, strategy, best practices etc. they are rolling out the most half baked and garbage solutions. Yes. Tech is affected.
It's so disheartening to train offshore coworkers to replace me
Even ignoring the extreme difficulty in explaining the simplest of concepts or tasks, I feel legitimately depressed that my work is so unimportant to senior management and they just care about cutting costs. I'll probably be out of a job and the... — read more

Duke Energy Building Uptown
Who in CPG can tell us the real story of what is going on in the Duke Energy building in uptown. They originally told us floor 47 was flooded. Then floors 4-6 were opened and not on the same power grid. Then tonight they sent a message stating floors... — read more
I hate Execs calling WF "the firm" and being an "employee" and not a "team member"
All of this verbiage is simply to make us cookie cutouts of one another and in the image of Charlie's prize example of the company where he really wants to be - Chase. Charlie has swiped right on Jamie Dimon one too many times. The love affair is... — read more
A warning regarding being asked to cross-train a lower-wage associate
Management is actively replacing higher-paid experienced employees with lower-waged employees. It’s an active plan and it’s happening across all divisions of the bank. (Not new, I know, but the pace has picked up and I’m watching it happen.)... — read more
Closed Fremont but Opening a New Hub at San Jose
Does anyone know, they are closing Fremont and opening a new hub in San Jose, CA? Please share the location address. It would be nice, if they open one more in Tracy area.
I am in Tech
I know my job is being offshored... My fellow colleagues have decided to Lose documents for the off shore folks.. Can't wait till they try to fix some of this when it breaks...
WF Compliance
Compliance will take this bank down. When the layoffs ramp up, some laid off will spill the beans. It’s not pretty.
When to leave?
You leave when you are dissatisfied with the pay, the stress levels, the boss(es), your career prospects, or any combination thereof.
Hot strike summer!
Love to see it!!
A recruiter/Youtuber nails what working at Wells Fraudo is like
https://youtu.be/ZMYRvSKRv9o Ironically at the end he says it's satire, he-l no it's not, it's exactly what it's like working for this sh*t hole company.
Excerpt from earnings call regarding consent orders and asset cap. Charlie and Mike very evasive when pressed for answers.
Deutsche Bank -- Analyst Good morning. I want to follow up, Charlie, on some of your prepared remarks. You talked about there's still some things that you're implementing to address regulatory issues. And wondering if you could give a couple of... — read more
