It’s crazy to see that someone who knows the company inside and out and has years of experience can be let go just like a newbie. How did we get to a place where tenure and expertise don’t matter at all?

I’m willing to take almost any other job, even one that pays less, just to be able to leave this place. Five years here have felt like ten anywhere else.

I just got laid off now. It’s fcking start of the year.

I’m putting in my notice Feb 13 after bonus drops. I see there is now a 30-60 day mandatory notice period for most employees, enforced mainly by a clawback provision in recently vested RSRs. Any way I can stop working sooner without incurring that... — read more

Work is supposed to be fun, but companies have made it so difficult that many Gen X and Gen Z employees hate going to the office and feel like they’re just following marching orders. The ’90s and early 2000s felt more enjoyable because we had people... — read more 

We're already covering two or three jobs each. What's the plan? Do they expect the remaining few to do four or five people's work until everyone burns out? What happens then?

Received final paycheck as non-working employee on 12/26 that also included unpaid PTO. When will the first severance pay date be in 2026? Will it be on 1/2 or 1/16?

2025 was meant to be my exit year from Wells Fargo. I applied, interviewed, networked, and pushed as hard as I could. Now 2026 is basically here and nothing changed. To say it’s demoralizing would be an understatement.

Just joking. It is not even equal pay and benefits. But it is a much smaller, cozier company, the people in charge seem decent, overtime is not really a thing (I made sure to check), they are not doing constant layoffs, and it is an entirely... — read more

Would love to sing this song at karaoke with someone. Maybe even do a rendition of Baby You’re a Rich Man. If only I knew a leader at Wells that likes karaoke.

Are you able to work during severance?... And bonus question can you receive severance and state unemployment at the same time ?
