Let go
I was let go this week. How long I have to sign the severance agreement?
If I get a contract, can I keep my health indui
Recently let go. If I get a consulting/contract gig, can I maintain my WF insurance during the duration of the severance period?
I've finally started looking for something else
I didn’t want to have to start interviewing again, but the situation left me no choice. The thought of sending out resumes and preparing for interviews feels draining, but staying in a place that doesn’t value your work to this extent is even worse... — read more
How much is remote work worth?
Out of curiosity, if offered the option to be fully remote in exchange for a lower salary, what % reduction would make it worth it to you? While this will never happen, I'd gladly accept a 15% lower salary in exchange.
The traditional 9-to-5 is being replaced by the ‘infinite workday’
this was an article "The traditional 9-to-5 is being replaced by the ‘infinite workday’". For those of you at WF, do you find that the company wants you to RTO and to work off hours from home.
The WIM hammer
The WIM hammer is coming. Market Leaders not recruiting, gone! Branch Managers not recruiting, gone! Not generating income via Alts, gone!
Got the axe this Tuesday
Laid off based out of Charlotte. Been here for 14 years. I am non working till October 2025. Haven’t signed the severance yet as my mental health tanked after the news. How much my severance will be? Any other advice on how to deal with severance and... — read more
Replaced by temps
About two weeks after I got the axe, I started receiving emails from temp agencies for my exact job, only at $6/hr less.
Location Pay Range Adjustment
I'm in minneapolis and the pay range recently changed. An example for a P3 in risk is the minimum used to be $84K, but now has increased to $96K. If a person is below the minimum, will HR increase the their wage to match, or will WF sc--w that... — read more

AI as a cust. Svc tool is the best thing since sliced bread
In my professional opinion, AI is the best cust. Svc tool since sliced bread. The point of access to it wasn't well thought out. It's on a tool that can bring a rep a zero call for touching it during a call when it's needed. Maybe that's the... — read more
Location Strategy Hoax
I was laid off in December without being given the option to move. My former boss, who also lives outside of a hub location, is still working! Are managers exempt from the location strategy?
Layoffs Mid Sept???
Was informed there would be another huge round of layoffs in mid Sept. Is this in Tech?
Was it always like this?
Since I joined Wells Fargo seven months ago, I’ve seen layoffs every two weeks, no exceptions, no breaks. Just another round every other Tuesday. Is it always like this? How do people survive years of this? I’m already starting to crack, and it... — read more
Technology Control Layoffs
Layoffs are spiraling throughout organization and its impact should drive change a direction.
WIM in Richmond notified that they are moving to Charlotte.
A good portion of the remaining WIM in Richmond, VA was recently notified that location strategy is moving them to Charlotte soon. Move or get a severance package. Keeps it off WARN notices as they offer them a job in another location. I thought... — read more

Title changes for salary compression.
The bank is now actively reclassifying lower roles to higher roles without any financial compensation. They are compressing wages down for the same or more work. Be mindful of your job role, your compensation range will go down. This evil... — read more
Finally free
I was so burnt out I dreaded coming into the office every day. Today, I got laid off and it feels like winning the lottery. I know finding a new job might be tough, but this was long overdue. It’s better for both me and Wells Fargo that we part ways... — read more
Laid Off This AM CTO
What a great day. I received the call this AM. I heard in my managers voice uncertainty about their own future. What a mess, they have a whole heck of a lot of stuff they need to unwind to get themselves off the firing line. For those who did not... — read more
Wells Fargo is a cult
It doesn't matter how good your metrics are. They'd rather have a True Believer with sh---y metrics than a competent performer who occasionally utters a critical sentence.
Those laid off in ‘23 or ‘24 with RSRs
If you were awarded RSRs in precious years which vest over 4 years, did some of your shares vest this year even if you work for a competitor. The layoff docs say to refer to the RSR docs and my lawyer had difficulty understanding those. This is for... — read more

Tomorrow is Termination Tuesday! Anyone have any deets on the targeted areas ?
RTO
I was just asked, well, told to come in to the office 3 days per week. This is ridiculous as I've been working remotely for years and years. Is anyone else dealing with this too?
In office
For the mandatory 3 days in, people have been working 4 hours in the office and then going home to finish their day. Is this accurate. I don’t see anything that states it’s acceptable per WF.
Way too many managers at WF doing NOTHING!!
WF needs to clean house and get rid of so many worthless layers of managers doing NOTHING.
Does WF do layoffs on a Tues. right after a holiday?
Us Oregonians think we will be laid off October 14 which follows the Tuesday following a payday which is what they’ve been doing typically. The thing is, October 13 is Columbus Day holiday so would Wells Fargo really lay us off the Tuesday following... — read more
AI is (still) mostly a scapegoat
AI becomes the perfect non-human scapegoat: it’s inevitable, it doesn’t sue, it doesn’t organize, and it doesn’t tarnish the brand. CEOs can point to AI as an “external force of change,” instead of taking accountability for strategic missteps, bad... — read more
In-office reporting
Looking for details on in-office reporting. If someone is in-office for a half-day and on PTO for a half-day on the same day, how does the reporting pick that up? Does that count as one in-office day or two?
Layoff Package
is there any negotiating with HR with a better severance with company standard. This would be probably related to older workers since finding another position will be difficult if not impossible
Next Tuesday at the Barn?
Rumor (and its only a rumor) has it that there may be layoffs this coming Tuesday. If so, who will it be? Which line of business will finally be set free? Or will it be a clean sweep of every soul? " Spin the wheel, around it goes. Where it stops... — read more
Severance Question
I'm just trying to get all my ducks in a row before they let us go, and yes, hanging on for the severance. If you opt for installments, a severance check every 2 weeks, they deduct insurance which would be cobra, which is expensive. That may mean... — read more
I've given up
After years of giving everything at Wells Fargo, I’m completely worn out. I’m coasting through the days, just waiting for someone to finally let me go. Being told it’s over would feel like a weight off my shoulders. I’ve lost all drive and the... — read more
