Meet the New Boss
Jamie will soon be our new boss after the acquisition. Will he be any better?
Why are there so many layers in IT?
What’s the reason our tech org isn’t centralized like at other companies, and why do we have so many layers of management?
Why do we have risk people overseeing balance sheet risk who still dont understand risk.
We need more thinning of the herd.
strictly hypothetical
lets say a sr manager is mentioned in a public lawsuit and an employee has information useful to plaintiffs case, perhaps showing, just as an example, that the manager has made similar comments supporting the fact thay maybe he or she really doesnt... — read more
So, if AI brings productivity gains…
Whenever we find a new way to be more efficient or prodctive the benefit never goes to the employee doing the work. Mgmt will use it to increase output, cut heads, or dump more work on whoever is left. Nobody in leadership is sitting around saying... — read more
AI fails and layoffs
So five years from now when AI is a huge failure what will corporate America do? Will all the leaders pushing it try to gaslight us into thinking they weren’t 100% behind it? Will they tell us it was just an experiment and they didn’t push it? Will... — read more

Formal Warning

What's going to be the next excuse for layoffs?
I mean, once AI gets exposed as an overhyped, expensive, hallucinating toy?
150 E 42nd Lease is up this year
Aren’t we supposed to be moved by end of year? Or are we all Getting canned?
As you’re Stagecoach Driver…
I am here to inform the masses at WF that more layoffs will continue across all business lines. Mark my words. It’s like letting horses at of the corral. Wells Fargo or Bust. Let’s ride like the wind bullseye 🎯.
I just got laid off
Lead Software Engineer LOB: Technology
Starting to lot of press on growing cost of AI
Simple Google search Yes, AI can actually cost significantly more than human labor. A major reason for this is that running advanced AI requires massive amounts of expensive hardware and energy, making human workers the cheaper and more economically... — read more
Lump sum payment time frame?
I know the paper work says up to 60 days from the time it's requested. Im just asking if that is the norm or is it usually faster from folks who have taken this option.
the matter of focus
when you optimize for one thing, you usually suboptimize something else. so now we spend energy on trivial stuff like badging, attendance, and proving people are physically present, while less time goes into the actual work. the work is still there... — read more
AI does not fix bad management
I had to laugh. "AI produces gains where tasks are structured, feedback is quick, and performance is measurable. It does not magically fix bad management, muddled processes, or poor judgment. " Sooo...who is going to tell Derek... — read more
Any major rounds on the way?
Not the usual "every other Tuesday" thing, but anything more substantial all of us should worry about?
Problem with my manager
It's either personal, or they're trying to push me to quit. Either way, it's become unbearable. I've only been here a year and a half, and I don't really understand the dynamics yet. I'd like to move to another team. Who should I talk to? Just to... — read more
The politics here are unbearable
There are many things wrong with Wells Fargo right now, from bad management and toxic culture to constant layoffs, but the worst part is the politics. It feels like every decision is about someone's agenda rather than what actually makes sense. I've... — read more
Why is the WFC layoff board so much more active than the other major banks ...
BAC, JPM, C, USB. Seems like the closest competition comes from Truist.
what's gonna be funny
is when the regulators start looking at how employers ignore honest feedback from AI. better keep those records.
Look how far we've fallen
I've been around long enough to remember when this place was actually decent, when working hard got you somewhere and meant something. The money was never amazing, but you felt valued. Leadership wanted to keep good people. It's now just a sweatshop... — read more
Will the new green card rules affect layoffs
Thoughts on this? As H1Bs have to go back and apply? Or will they just outsource more to India and keep them there?
Denver
Are there any IT folks left in Denver? We were told the DTC office would shut down and to work downtown instead, but then it started raining axes.
Current environment at WF
This is 1000% Wells Fargo today: The most dangerous workplace bully isn't your coworker, it's your manager. Because when the person targeting you also controls performance, documentation, and reputation, it's not conflict, it's leverage.

Bloodbath after Memorial days weekend.
Performance setups
The performance matrix they use is setting employees up to fail so they can terminate workers in order to off shore jobs. They target employees with tenure, accommodations, and fully remote employees. They are trying to cut people to save a buck
Confusing
I wonder if people that post are misusing “layoff” and “termination” because the way people are writing, it sounds like we are back two years ago, where everybody was getting laid off and expecting huge severance packages, which I don’t think is the... — read more
Thinking about taking leave
And not sure whether I should file; does anybody have thoughts as to the pros and cons… especially with respect to whether one could lose his job.
