What should I do?
Perhaps this is the catalyst we needed for more offshore regulation?

Backing up/saving code I created
I have SQL, VBA, and SAS code I've created that I want to save for future reference if I leave / get let go. None of it is confidential or contain PII or anything, I just want to be able to reference all of the coding I've spend countless time on as... — read more
WXPS - Leo's upcoming meeting from Hudson Yards
Absolutely hilarious, under the section Live Q&A, one of the bullet points says "Embrace Candor". Where to even begin? First, who is Leo\WF to instruct me to embrace candor? The poor marketing (social engineering) the company does to its workers... — read more
Tech teams - efficiency opportunity
Never in my life have I witnessed more conference calls needlessly and mindlessly prolonged all because 1-2 people just keep talking when the action items have been concluded. Someone could say ok I will follow up and get back to you after the call... — read more
Crowdstrike
Well at least we know there are people worse off than us. Took a peek at the Crowdstrike layoff page. Folks are already packing up.
Mgmt are control freaks
I wouldn’t mind if it was for the sake of efficiency and work results. It’s not, and never was, the best mgmt style, but I would tolerate it if it was about work. However, it’s not. It’s about exercising power, control issues, petty office politics... — read more
Testing Teams
FLIV and IT&V are useless. They aren't interested in collaborative Risk Management. They are interested in wielding control and failing teams. They are incompetent.
WAVE
Why are there issues with VDI every single day? It’s obviously a complete failure and they need to revert everyone back ASAP! So much time wasted on their so called work arounds.
Problems with Payments
Whay all the payment problems? Did they layoff those folks too?
Mr. Boss
So my Mr. Boss unfollowed me on social media on Monday. July 8. The following day (you guessed it-Tuesday after Payday)...I thought I was getting laid off or terminated. What I received was a verbal warning. Does that last 6 months? If I get laid... — read more

Exceeds Expectations
Hey guys I got an Exceeds on my mid year review. Is this a good sign?
Voluntary layoff list - your experience/observations?
I'm not sure if the entire bank has this option, but at least some depts do. We were told months ago that if we want to be voluntarily laid off (it was worded slightly friendlier as you'd expect), then we'd just need to tell our manager, and our... — read more
Barnhart center
Building is pretty much empty every other week - lay us off already!!!!
West Des Moines WARN Notification
Looks like 24 people are being laid off in West Des Moines. Anyone have details on this?
Not exactly a “layoff” question but more of a hiring question.
If I were to hire on to WF, would they require me to move all investments that I have, under the management of Wells Fargo? Example: Move all JPM mutual funds that I own, transfer under WF investment management.
Disgusting
I had a one on one with my boss for my mid year discussion. My boss made up many fake comments and hinting I will be on PIP.
Reviews are just a cover for selection at will
In exchange, work as little as possible, take as much as you can, and always search for other jobs. In this day and age it’s silly to try to prove yourself in a workplace. Hard-workers can be gone as fast and easy as someone acting as a beach goer... — read more
Fake account scandal, fake interviews, and now fake reviews
When and how are we going to hold managers accountable? Enough is enough!
Stacked ranking
Remember folks, wells implements stacked ranking when it comes to review time. There will always be someone that has to take the hit with a bad review. Not everyone can be good! Which is obviously not true, but that's how it goes 🤷♂️
St. Louis closing E building announcement
Sol G announced yesterday in his town hall that they are essentially closing the E building in St. Louis in the next 3-6 months. Moving everyone out & will only be using 2 floors going forward. STL has 2.5 million sq foot of workspace & only needs... — read more
BS Mid-Year Reviews
Out of 6 reports, managers came up with 1 report as evidence to show my weakness that was also BS as someone pointed earlier artificial/fake review but let suppose that 1 was bad still I have done 5 projects/reports pretty well i.e approx 80% time I... — read more
In case you are new or don't know... HR is not your friend
For those people who think HR is going to protect you, it's likely you are wrong. There could be some instances where an HR outcome benefits you personally but don't be confused, HR is there to protect the company. Filing claims and cases can put a... — read more
In-office time tracking
Someone I know got fired because of time tracking. Is there a chance this is true or is somebody trolling?
WEC Winston-Salem Location
Any news as to when the WEC building will start layoffs for CB? NON core location and will eventually close.
Organization should fire all managers who play fav games
Even if a person does very little work, if they are a favorite, it looks like they have done a lot. But if you are not a favorite, even your 100% effort counts as only 50%. These kind of managers should be gone.
Why am I getting Inconsistent Meet?
F that! I work hard long hours for that cr-p?
"managers artificially making up fake reviews to sc--w good performers."
So true, total BS comments they come up with, "I have problem with managers artificially making up fake reviews to sc--w good performers. This typically happens to those who are not managers' favorites."
RCSA
In at least one division, RCSA is being moved up a week, e.g. they have one week less to get work done. Itchy trigger finger for firings?
Relocation offer
Non-hub remote worker here. Got a relo offer. None of the tech locations appeal to me. Already applying elsewhere. Still have the better part of a month to tender my decision knowing that even if another company contacts me that they won't want to... — read more
Update
Was told to update my personal cell in workday by Mgr. who got a notification it wasn't updated. I'm remote but not in tech or anything. Standard update or definitely a sign?
Best job at Wellsfargo is Scrum master
Great pay great job security.
Mid year review
Managers are going to use mid year review to remove people who are not part of their gangs.
Looks like regulators just flagged the bank for another gap in compliance
c-suite was just called to an emergency conference - huge gap in risk and controls.
Offshore / India Question - Writing on the wall?
Late last year my company began to hire India resources. At the same time we were mandated to create extremely detailed procedures/SOPs for everything we do. We've now aligned an India resource to each US team member to perform the same work. We... — read more

Auto Finance?
I mean why?
I expect WF to follow soon enough
Saw this article about how Amazon is no tracking time in office for their corporate employees. My guess is we will have something here sooner than we think.
