Why would paying more manager bonuses make sense?
Difference between claim denial and layoffs
Both of these pad the pockets of the business. I see no difference in the two. Both are dishonest and negatively affect the client/employee. People should take note of this
Innslake Consolidation
The Innslake (Glen Allen) location is "consolidating" all employees (with the exception of the call center) to one floor and "decommissioning" the floors that will not be used. This will happen in January. Does anyone have any insight? I've tried to... — read more
Relocation requirements
Anyone who had a business update meeting and were provided with information on relocation option coming your way did they ever mention relocation would be provided only to certain individuals who are performing magnificent?
Red Alert
Funding is confirmed. Reduction is coming. Managers are provided with the layoffs instructions. Be prepared.
Eliminate the ESG and DEI Programs
The communications from the executive level make me feel like I work for a social justice think tank that occasionally does financial services. Can they not just declare victory seeing how they've sent tens of thousands of jobs from the U.S. to... — read more
Serious question about male dress code
No one is wearing sweat pants - wife beaters - or speedos. However, two items of apparel have been allowed in the post pandemic dress code that were written warning eligible pre pandemic. Jeans and Sneakers. Is this an official policy change or... — read more
Got the axe today
So our whole team displaced in Roanoke, VA call center today. 60 days non-working notice. Back-office group. Merry Christmas huh?!
GES results
Tech appears to be heavily drafted to basically say DEI means hiring everywhere but the US, and that's because our "diverse tech teams" are amazingly high performing (LMFAO). Career growth is an opportunity? They honestly expect US employees to read... — read more
First non-branch union
Seems the first non-branch union passed and is now waiting to be certified by the national labor relations board. Even the union busting attempt to lay off 8 of the team members only days away from the voting period didn't seem to make a difference... — read more
Office Work Hours Pilot
A coworker received a meeting request from GTM and the subject line was “Office Work Hours-Pilot”. Any ideas of what this about?
Guess this US-based employee's Cloud PC is in India.
Service Now keeps resetting my timezone to Asia/Kolkata. Makes it rather difficult to know when my changes and tasks actually start and end. The lengths this executive team is willing to go to in order to terminate high performers for cause is... — read more
Lousy workplace
Too much overtime. I can’t remember when I left the office at 5. Too low compensation, and it’s obvious that WF will continue trying to push it down. As low as they can get away with. None of the extra time and low pay are investment. You will not be... — read more
Tech relocation
My LOB is moving to tech. My previous lob allowed relocation if you are outside of core location, does technology offer this as well or will I just randomly get laid off one day?
Now what?
So now that management has announced they are leaving your State and layoffs are on the near horizon. What are your days like now while you wait? Are you looking for work, or waiting to cash out then look?
Do direct managers pick whom to layoff?
Who decides specific candidate to layoff in a team? . Is it your direct manager/director or above?. Hard and honest work is not valued at WF. Most of the middle management needs to go, they are good for nothing. They are pure trash.

Finally!
After nearly a year of sending out applications, getting few responses, and even fewer interviews, I just landed an external offer for $15k more than my current pay. It comes with comparable benefits and a much better chance to move up. I’m ready to... — read more
I want to leave WF
As I started sending out resumes, I figured there’s no other bank I would really like to work for. They are all the same, more or less. One can maybe improve personal conditions by a small margin, but I suspect there’s no substantial difference. WF... — read more

He's still here Boys and Girls
A little dig at all of you who were convinced that CS would be gone by end of 24. But I accept your apologies, yes plural and with a capital P!
Is there a bank more corrupt than Wells Fargo?
Asking for a friend.
Internal job posting
Does anyone know who decides which candidates get an interview? Is it HR or the hiring manager? Just wondering because I’ve had 2 initial phone screen interviews and each time the recruiter did not seem to have any idea about my background / resume. — read more
Cloud PC, the typical Charlie downgrade
Like all things at wells, the system was nice and fast until they pushed it into production, then it became laggy and unresponsive. The surface issues: Constant slowdowns and temporary freezes. Multiple lost input due to the above. I've literally... — read more

Why am I getting SMS spam masqueraded as being from Wells Fargo?? Was an employee database hit? Da heck?
How are you dealing with team toxicity and office politics?
I’m among those who do not manage that cr-p well. I'm trying to stay out of it, but you can not avoid it affecting you in some way. Most people in my team are exceptionally dedicated to backstabbing, offloading work to others, making people fall for... — read more

From experience, does anyone know if they stop layoffs in December then pick back up in the new year? The 12th and the 26th are the Tuesday's after payday. It would su-k to be laid off on the 26th
