Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

What did you do with all of your Wells Fargo ponies?

Now that Wells Fargo has wished me well in my future endeavors, I’m starting at boxes of these Wells Fargo ponies the company pushed on me the first time I walked into a branch. “Collect them, they’re valuable,” leadership said (just like they said about company stock. I obliged and now have enough to pull Santa’s sleigh. Heck, I even still have the one we got in 2017 to make up for abysmal sales-quality-scandal bonus pool that year.

I looked on eBay and they’re worth next to nothing. Shocker. My question: if you had lots of these d-mb ponies what did you do when you finally left?

You should send them to Scott at Kentucky Ballistics. I think he is about to run out of Furbys...

Fire houses take stuffed animals. They give them to children who are displaced due to a fire. They wouldn't take the WF Ponies because they can't be seen as promoting a particular business. Couldn't give them away so they were tossed.

I'm thinking of burning mine, along with all of my anniversary cubes. I got canned a few months after my 20th work anniversary, which is when Charlie, via a canned e-mail, said I was a valuable employee.

Years ago, when my kids were little, it was nice to occasionally come home from work and give them each a new pony that the company had handed out to us.

It's the small things which add up to make a workplace better.

The current regime does zilch for us. Pure drudgery.

Do NOT give them to a dog rescue shelter - they’ll just have to throw them away. They aren’t made safe for dogs to play with.

If they are clean … like right out of the bag clean, you can donate them to a local charity that takes children’s toy donations. Otherwise - in the garbage.

I'm telling you, I'm getting the F off and there is a reason why I'm getting the F off and everyone can either believe it or they cannot believe it, I don't give two Fs. But I am telling you right now, this M F bank is NOT REAL. And you can stay with this M F bank and you can die with them or not, I'm not going to.
