If my teammate and myself are marked Critical, what does that mean for us? We both work in non-core city locations (hybrid). We're also close to retirement plans, and are hoping for a layoff with severance at some point in the near future. Thanks.
Most recent round of layoffs disproportionately affected
Just pull up your org’s .zz’s in Outlook/Teamworks and you will see that the majority of the displaced employees were Caucasian. Subtle DEI activity?
Is it possible?
Is it possible to apply and get another position that is only hiring and locations if you are full-time remote? The hiring manager is interested, but I do not know if they know where I am located. He reached out to the recruiter and the recruiter... — read more
Attrition is just as bad as layoffs
Looks like none of the good workers want to stick around here anymore. The ones who actually know what they’re doing are bailing as fast as they can, and that says a lot about how things really are on the floor.
Any insights or thoughts on the Loudspeaker Program's move to ECRL (aka Complaints)?
Sounds like they are turning the program upside down and making all kinds of changes. Layoffs for that team too?

Cash Vault Operations
Why does Cash Vault have such high turnover? They are contract workers, so they don't get displaced, but it seems like they come and go so quickly.
Number of Internal Job Application
I see it is encouraged to limit the number of internal job application to 5. Anyone knows what will happen if I am applying for more than 5 positions at the same time?
Keeping that severance..
If someone gets displaced say on Tuesday, August 19, does that mean they can interview for a job but tell the prospective employer they can start on October 20th? 61 days after the displacement..
SF reduction
Any word on SF overall reduction?
Remote Exception

CPG Outsource Fiasco

How do you deal with toxic people on a team?
Our manager is completely passive, doing everything possible to avoid conflict. They're the absentee type, lacking any real authority. Meanwhile, a few individuals are making life difficult for the rest of us. It’s not about workload or taking credit... — read more

In retrospect, being laid off was a favor
At WF, it’s easy to completely lose perspective. I got caught up in the constant pressure, toxicity, and anxiety too. I stopped thinking about my own interests, let alone imagining that I could actually work somewhere else. I was laid off six... — read more

Asset Cap
This is a couple of months late, but I think it's hilarious how WF employees celebrated the lifting of the asset cap. Seemed almost like bragging about it, like look at us. We're on the move! We got 2k in RSRs! Bo-m! WF is back! Lol. Um, I'm not so... — read more

Let Go for Poor Performance - No severance.
Yeah right. More than 20 years in tech and always respected and rewarded for my work . The only problem is the job has to go to Indian and my Indian manager of a year really didn't like me being American and having American views. Bummer.
"20 Year Severance "??? Not 40 weeks sev?
After over 20 years with Wells Fargo, they laid me off today. I was the happiest person in the room. Two months salary and medical, and a 20 year severance package. With that, I'm retired!
