Anyone getting the feeling that what you do for the company is just not important? Yet you keep coming back day after day, complaining, posting, sweating, worring, boozing. We all want to feel like we’re relevant and important. How does executive management help you help them? By dividing, setting you up to fail, diminishing your scope, on and on. Wear your minimum amount of flair and just take it easy. You are not, nor ever will be all that. Be well.

Wow, how did this happen? Unmotivated from childhood? Did the company ki-l your enthusiasm to live a dynamic life? Talking about marching into the salt mines, brother, you’re tearing me up. I’m hearing a lot of walking wounded and walking dead. There’s no pain in change, only to the resistance to the change
"You are not, nor ever will be all that."
Newsflash, nobody that works at Wells Fargo thinks they are all that. We are here to pay our bills and support our families. Nobody I work with here thinks they are all that.
Ok, sorry you have no power over your situation. Sounds like just bad luck
Oh brother. The vast majority of jobs at WF have little to do with playing along with corporate games to become an executive, and we're not being laid off for a failure to do so, so what are you even talking about? Power is centralized to the point where no one below the op committee matter anymore. Unless you're one of them, there's no amount of butt kissing and playing the game that is going to save you from Shart's plan. A lot of lower level executives are finding that out right now as they are being S canned and unwillingly "leaving to spend more time with their family" left and right. We have zero control over our situation and there's no way to change that short of becoming an exec at JPM and then turning seeing and leaving JPM to come back to WF to be one of the top execs here. Short of that, your behavior or performance has nothing to do with the outcome.
I’m glad I’ve retired well at 62 years old. I worked for the same company for 38 years. (Major Airline) It just doesn’t sound appetizing what you people do quitting all the time, then looking for new jobs. I traveled the world, was compensated well, had complete autonomy, I was represented by a professional organization, never received an evaluation, never had to say hello to anyone I didn’t want to. I guess I had it better than I knew
Some ppl have a soul and feel pain when things are not right based on common sense, some tout hatchman techniques as if those were the rule the law the right way to lead your life - well remain soulless then.
No, not boozing, I just can’t get over how many bemoan the situation in which they find themselves. The have’s and the have not’s. The people whom make the decisions that affect your lives and drive you to message boards such as this are much like you. The only difference is that daddy taught them that one gets to the top not by hard work, but by fostering relationships, holding your nose and playing the game. Many are too proud to do so, and end up embittered pawns. Good luck and keep up the good work
Boozing?
This is just a meaningless complaint. There’s a difference between having a specific actionable issue, and whining. This is whining. I hate the company, but you sound like you hate yourself.
I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be... That's how I roll tell I get laid off so sick it!
100% it is hard to go to work these days, the motivation factor is gone from the abuse, failing systems, attrition, layoffs every two weeks, bullying. I realize it is a loosing battle, all the hard work meant nothing.....ever
