I left Wells Fargo after nearly 10 grueling years. I’d worked in multiple areas of the company and had always been fearing that my role would be eliminated. This company truly gets worse every day. Ethics are non-existent and leadership strives to make employees feel like a burden who should be thankful they’re employed by that circus. The direction from our new leadership is to hire in your friends from previous banks you’ve worked at, regardless of their background/ability to do the job, give them a Business Execution Director title and let them totally destroy teams and employees that have been at WF for ages. I had enough and I left. The majority of “leadership” at that company couldn’t run a well organized project team if their lives depended on it. Leadership loves to talk about agile transformation and they blame company failures on lack of agile implementation, but the majority of leadership can’t even explain the core concepts of agile. I have witnessed that multiple times.
I was so anxious about leaving because the company felt like home to me for so long, but they don’t care about us anymore. Not even in the slightest. I started applying with competitors and had a great offer within 2 months. I left and I don’t regret a thing. You can do it too.
