#conflictingmessages

I have seen conflicting messages on this board. I understand they removed new postings, but I had a final interview scheduled next week and want to know if that position will still be hired?

We can't do our jobs from home, but our jobs can be outsourced to a completely different country on another continent. So they can do the same jobs we supposedly can't do from home, from India or wherever else? Make it make sense, please.

We get a schedule every six months but nobody ever says it’s set in stone, so the bosses can change stuff whenever they feel like it. That makes it really hard to know what to work on or even plan anything outside of work. The “perks” and rules keep getting moved around too, and it just feels like nothing is solid. I think we need a clear time slot that stays the same and a simple way to tell us when things actually change.

Layoffs happening every two weeks, but new job postings keep going up nonstop. Can anyone explain this to me like I'm five? Because I'm lost.

I'm lost. One person more says cuts are days away, another says weeks, another says it's over. Does anyone have concrete info? This confusion is almost worse than knowing for sure.

Most ppl impacted by snow received an email on Monday Jan 26 that in office policy will be relaxed this week..... Only to receive another email that in office policy is back in full effect starting Today Tuesday Jan 27.

So will Monday Jan 26 be exempted from in office reporting? Will we only have to go into office 2 days this week instead of 3?

From we've been told, you need 6.5 hours of activity a day. For an 8 hour day, that works out to 1 hour for lunch, and two 15 minute breaks. But the conflict between in-office and mandatory digital activity is really striking. How can you collaborate and work with colleagues if your screen time is measured and reported on.

Want to visit a colleagues desk or have a chat in a meeting room? Better bring your laptop and move your mouse around or it comes out of your lunch/break time.

Is Wells hosting an employee event? A town hall perhaps? If you go, your digital activity average will suffer. You will need to trade your lunch for it, and hope it doesn't run long - or just stay late to compensate.

Its fun that they have a gym at my office, but if I want to use it, I need to either skip lunch or stay late that day.

So many people leave their workstations unlocked now when they step away to the bathroom or to get coffee, so it doesn't count against them.

Meanwhile, years long colleagues randomly disappear, one after another, never to be seen again.

Living the Wells Life.

Seeing conflicting things around how long I need to stay to get bonus paid out. I'm an L9 looking to put in 2 weeks notice in the New Year. To get my bonus, do I have to work through 12/31 this year or through the actual payout date?

"This team should not exist."

"I appreciate everything you do, every day."

While showing a deck that is clearly a roadmap for getting rid of the entire group, and other comments that made it clear they intend to keep nobody from that group. It's obvious the reason they're bringing so many H1-B into the bank is that they have zero loyalty to anyone other than their paycheck.

Leadership in my organization is useless, indecisive and incapable of making sound decisions. When I asked to provide direction, they complicate things by giving you more work, even when you provide them with everything they asked for, they still don’t do anything. You will come out of the discussions/meetings more confused. This leads to ambiguity and tension between team members who end up confused not knowing what to do, not to mention the time and resources wasted on the endless calls where sometimes all it takes is a strong leader to say “yes” or “no”. They do not care as long as you don’t bother or challenge them. The moment you do, you will be rewarded with more work!

Since HR is basically worthless, anybody know for sure if you can work during the separation period? There's conflicting info in the paperwork I received. I know you couldn't during the SUB pay days, but I thought that changed when it switched to the lump sum. Buried in the middle of an 80 page document there's a comment about paying back a pro-rated amount if re-employed during whatever amount of time you received severance for.

FYI: was told we were all safe and bonuses might be impacted, but today was let go. Know of at least 10 others, all from COO's part of the organization.

A lot of people it should theoretically apply to, including me, still haven’t. All it’s done so far is create a ton of confusion.
