They'll implement it once it becomes another convenient way to drive additional attrition.
What is it like?
What is it like to go into the office & sit next to an empty cubicle that use to be your co-worker & friend that has been laid off? Are you happy it’s not you? Do you keep in touch? Do you care?
Gaslighting displaced non-core site employees is shady AF!
While it really su-ks that we are being displaced as we are in a non-core site (Idaho), WF is stringing the process along by putting us in temporary positions (6months) until we get let go. The only problem is, I would like to just get my severance... — read more

Promotions
When was the last time you heard of someone being promoted without it being blatant nepotism or cronyism?
Bonus Timing
We all know bonuses will hit checks on Feb 14. I’ve seen some posts that the bonus can be pulled back up to the day before it is issued. I don’t think that’s accurate. If giving notice, what date leading up to Feb 14 is your best chance to keep the... — read more
Fake jobs problem

No more room in the office
We are starting to see the impact of not having enough office space for RTO. Wondering if there is any chatter to fix that in New York. I’m only allowed to sit on my floor on a certain side. If they do return to 5 days, what are we going to do? Sit... — read more

Was it actually hard to get a 4 (Consistenly Exceeds) this year?
Was it actually tougher? Or is this just BS given by my manager for giving me a 3. Definitely did 4 level work. I did get a 4 last year.
Does your management provide you actual employee survey reports?
Mine does not. They seem to want to control the message. All they’ve shared is derivative / distilled results on a screen. There’s probably a couple official reports that come out in pdf, for example maybe one with responses / response rates at... — read more
Anti-DEI protests overlook WF
Too cheap to pay the WSJ, but what I did read doesn’t mention WF. Not because our DEI has been rationalized (as if) but rather because we don’t matter. This must frustrate our Napoleonic money-center poseur in Hudson Yards.

Manager asked about if I’m going for the higher education during the meeting, she knew I have a master degree, am I crazy or now manager ask their team member to go for phd? Why?

Wells Fargo HR is so incompetent

Review and Wage increase?
We got our reviews but manager said they can’t talk compensation until like the end of the month? Is this true? I don’t remember my old managers doing that. When can they talk about comp and when does it go into affect?
Outsourcing
Is JLL taking over CPG?
StL
Any guesses on when St Louis MO will be vacated and left to the dust bin of Wells Fargo history? My gut tells me 3-5 years tops.
Severance
Did they announce how much severance the firm is putting aside in 2025, like they did on 2024?
