Did you know you can sue Wellsfargo even after signing the severance package? You can still sue them even after few years later. You can report misconduct to EEOC anytime you want. Document everything and protect your rights.

Well whoever orginally takes the opportunity to sue would likely forgo any compensation. However in doing so the issue if any, would be fixed and any financial favor could be paid out to whoever else was affected by any wrong doing once discovered.
I don't see how they've gotten away with that notion that location strategy supersedes an approved medical dr note/ Ada accommodation and how they can at any time determine that it isn't permanent or valid on a whim.
Sounds like there are some shaky grounds to anyone whose been affected ever since the onset of this.
I wonder how many have truly legitimately besides me, been affected?
I'm sure the count is high. It's a wonder you don't hear of anything in the media about that.
You can sue anyone for anything if you enjoy flushing money down the toilet.
technically true; practically impossible. And you could be on the hook for legal fees if you lose. consult the lawyer BEFORE you sign the "release and severance" package. It is 99.997% release, 0.002% severance, 0.001% Scharf's an-l sp---e.
OK so its true, the severance package (I read it) still allows for legal action against Wells Fargo even if you sign and accept the package.
BUT - it disallows any kind of financial award. That is the key part. Most lawyers who cover workplace issues - they work on contingency. Its rare to find one that does hourly. Why? Because its prohibitively expensive!! One could go broke trying to fund one's own lawsuit. That's the main reason why they have that clause in there. It'll prevent 99.999 percent of any lawsuit activity.
The second reason one can alert to Wells Fargo's activities is that they are protected by law. Meaning, no employer agreement can supersede federal or state law to hide or block reporting of illegal activity.
Those two reasons are why one can sue Wells Fargo even after signing the agreement.
By the way, when I had comms with the "Displacement Operations Center" (YES, that is exactly what they called it) they called the severance a "release and severance agreement". Think about that for a moment. Wells really wants the legal protection, and there is a reason why they called it "release and severance agreement".
Of course you can. Anyone can sue anyone. Doesn't mean you'll prevail though
eeoc has deadline.
