Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Nobody is safe

The estimate for 2025 is around 10K jobs cut in total. We can only assume WF will stay the course in 2026, or more likely, things will get even worse. Keep your resume updated and try to skill up in the meantime, though I’m not convinced skills even matter anymore, given how disproportionately WF has been letting go of skilled and competent people. Never take your eyes off job opportunities. The market is already tough, and it’s likely to get tougher.

We’re in for a rough ride, and we all need to think about ourselves and our families first. Every time you feel the urge to work more or harder, stop and think about better ways to use your time and energy. You can be jobless overnight anyway, and being a good worker bee won’t save you.

In office / core location employees are already the majority in most waves. They've been running out of those low hanging fruit for a while.

Less set aside for 2026 but still healthy. If you are not in a core location or if you are wfh you will get it by end of 27

You would think Charlie’s arm would be out out of joint for as much as he pat himself on the back for making people suffer. He can’t fire AI when that creates the next fake account scandal.

@OP

Felt the need to make a 'stating the obvious' post of what gets said 20 times a week??

skill up, not to stay with wf, but for your next job outside wf when you eventually have to start looking.

They are cutting whole teams. It’s nothing personal and your boss can’t save you. So don’t go the extra mile. You will kick yourself if you do.
