For Wells Fargo Advisors peeps- how much more of Sol G's obnoxious, weird weekly newsletters where is he traveling the country forcing people to karaoke. This week was Nashville-forcing employees to get on stage and sing karaoke yet again. Next week he goes to San Diego. Meanwhile, we in the WFA branches can't buy a lunch for employees because they're watching money like a hawk. Why does he make people do this-this is not a joke; he wants employees to get up and sing to embarass themselves. And these weekly extravagant trips;so tone-deaf in this environment. What has he accomplished? Please no more Friday afternoon "updates", Sol. I've had enough.

Barry and Sol are clowns. With their $15mm salaries between them, hiring a "family friend " who is so unqualified it is the laughing stock of that market, these weekly extravagant trips, FAs leaving in droves to Finet. On a national CA call recently, client associates were told not to contact the Operations area. For years, this is where you would call IRA, New Accounts,etc. Since they've now laid off most of the American staff in St.Louis(many diverse, btw) and replaced them with thoroughly incompetent Indians, there is no where to go with a question. You're supposed to go on Infomax and watch a video to see if you can find the answer to your question. We can't even expense off a retirement cake for a 30 year employee.
@1lse a fun game to play when Barry talks is to have an over/under on the number of times he says “like”. We got up to over 300 in one presentation last year.
Unless I'm getting paid for it, I'm not showing up at any event off-site, and there won't be any karaoke getting sung. This guy sounds like a total douche.
“clapping seals of the management team”
I like that.
The firm is a joke and clients should be and are being encouraged to leave. Does sol have any thoughts of his own? He panders to Barry Sommers who came from Bear Stearns. That is sad. I know I am smarter than these people.
Worse yet are the clapping seals of the management team who know what's wrong but continue to try treat this guy like a great leader. No one will speak up since all they want to do is curry favor, no pun intended.
