Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

How many employees lost thier job 7/25-7/26?

Give'r the ole fishbowl guess. How many employees were zz'd out on just 7/25 and 7/26 alone?

I'll save time for all those who think nothing happened this week. 5k+ user accounts. Toss 50% for natural attrition, death, retirement, erroneous accounts, etc etc. 2500 in 2 days is still quite a lot even if Wells overall head count is 230k+. Over 7k zz'd since mid-June.

New HR policy has anyone taking PTO for 2 weeks or more going to zz, so not all your zz are layoffs

7/24-7/25 Iowa layoffs are false. Look at the state’s updated WARN list. When WF laid off 25 earlier this year, it was reported, yet nothing reported for last week.

Tell it to the people that got fired on Tuesday. I know someone that did, and it's yet another example of this company's failed leadership that he was canned while worthless turds like yourself remain. It's ok though, Charlie will get to you eventually and that's one downsizing that will actually make this company a better place.

It’s the definition of moving goalposts. Jesus dude just admit you are easily duped.

It's not moving the goal posts. Some people were downsized on Tuesday, some others were pre-notified that they'll be downsized on 8/8.

I believe most were pre-noticed with an actual displacement date of 8/8.

I believed the report of 800 laid off in Des Moines Tuesday, but there's still no WARN notice posted, and nothing from the Des Moines Register

@1ezt Yet again, that comment was referring to the RIP guy’s bunk troll about some big non hub layoff on 7/25 that hasn’t been confirmed, not layoffs in general. That is the topic at hand, per this thread and the troll RIP 7/25 one.

You really need to get some reading comprehension before sperging out like Dwight Schrute over an extremely simple dispute you can’t even wrap your mind around.

"Literally nobody was claiming layoffs weren’t happening"

Just one of the hundreds of posts this year:
https://www.thelayoff.com/post/@pzo+1nMLdIiD

There's some trolls that post in every 5th thread here claiming that layoffs aren't actually happening or that it's only a handful of people being fired for cause.

That's clearly false, the article makes it clear it's 5000 in 1H-2023 and 40,000 since 2020. Also "fired for cause" doesn't get you a 60 day notice and severance package. There's just a lot of disinformation that gets posted here denying what is clearly true.

Literally nobody was claiming layoffs weren’t happening, so good job tearing down an argument made by no one 😂

And that article in no way proves the big scary 7/25 layoff of a 1,000 non hub employees, just that layoffs are happening- which, again, nobody denied. You guys are just doubling and tripling down on your denial that you got trolled. But keep telling yourself there’s some “Q” high up in HR feeding information to warn people here in the most inflammatory and juvenile way possible. The brain drain going on here is no joke.

FANTASTIC article below as it confirms that layoffs are happening by the thousands. The wording in the article is 5000 layoffs at Wells (tied with Citi as the most of any bank) just in the first half. So that means the 5000 doesn't even include the larger than average July layoffs and we have seen strong rumors that August will be the broadest cuts of the year.

I don't think it's unreasonable that if they laid off 5000 in the first half they can easily cut another 5000 in the second half and maybe even more than that. It's still shocking to me that trolls keep visiting this board and claiming that layoffs are "fake news" or just aren't happening.

The layoffs are clearly happening, and they're deepest at companies like Wells Fargo.

Numbers: "Wells Fargo informed investors that it expects its workforce, which has already shrunk by 5,000 this year and 40,000 since mid-2020, to continue to decline. This bank was among the few that did not grow during the pandemic, partly due to an imposed regulatory asset limit following multiple legal and compliance violations."

Keep your ears open during each quarterly earnings call, and follow what you can in the news. It seems very quiet, with other companies layoffs masking Wells so it can fly below radar somewhat, I think.

People are in zy status during their 60 day notice period and their profile status will say “on leave”. Once the 60 day notice period is over, they will be switched to zz status and their entire profile eventually gets deleted within a month or so.

Zz happens as soon as they push the button. I was RIF’d yesterday. My access removed within a hour. My packet of information came via email later yesterday and overnight. My team is in different parts of the country. 8 of 9 were displaced. They could only find a place for 1 person. Boy, did they pick the wrong one.

while it may take exchange server a day or two to update, once you are notified and they submit your emergency termination request it happens pretty quick.

The dooshiest vehicle, hands down, is any Hummer. No exceptions, none.

The second most dooshiest vehicle is a Jeep Wrangler. Also no exceptions on this.

Third place goes to small peter compensation trucks.

Fourth place is a 3-way tie:

  • Nissan Sentra
  • All Kias
  • All Hyundais

The above is indisputable, therefore I expect few-to-no comments on this.

@qbp - doesn't it depend on whether it's a working 60 days or non-working 60 days? I would guess if it were non-working you'd get zz'ed right away. I also know someone who did 30 days working and 30 days non-working and they got zz'ed as soon as their non-working days started.

And can some clarify what has happened to SBA (Small Business Administration)? Was that group impacted? or was it the Small Business Advantage product group that was impacted?
