I got what..?
My apologies for being cynical, but I just got my employee appreciation gift in the mail this week. Ya know, the campfire mug blossom kit….? I thought at minimum, even if I couldn’t get the seeds to grow, I’d at least still have a cool new mug. It... — read more
Working on Notice Period
Can Wells find out if you land a role during your displacement notice period? If so, are there ways to avoid being caught?
Are RTO changes constructive dismissal?
I have heard about a lot of people who have been assigned to new office locations that are creating longer commutes for them, sometimes even passing one or more office locations that are closer to their homes. There are also a lot of people who have... — read more

We have worked at a place where management say they’re going to lay you off in March and string you along for months.
Sick policy
So I got sick and informed my boss who told me don’t come to the office, noting I have a three hour commute round trip via train and work alone, my team is in another state. I have Covid with a cough from he-l. I worked from home for three weeks as... — read more

Offshoring expedites Social Security program's demise
It's rich (no pun) how so many companies are offshoring hundreds of thousands of jobs. Nevermind that WF would like all roles filled by workers in India, a country that is a major ally to Russia/Putin. (No danger there for security of banking... — read more
Got canned from both Citi and Wells Fargo in a five year span: Beat That!
Unique distinction for sure, but true. The real constant is that both are dumpster fires and always have been. RCSA seemed to be the are that both companies struggle with, because it's fake science and a waste of time. I especially love how I was... — read more
Are we opening any new branches?
I just read another eight branches closed in a week. I'm wondering if we are opening more in different areas or if the goal is to get rid of branches altogether?
Laid-off and facing age discrimination
I have 20+ years of experience, but I've been seeing more and more jobs not wanting to hire folks over 40... "7 years exp but not 20+ mid-level role (may not find it challenging/interesting)"
William Barnhart
Some people say the cleaning staff let the cat out of the bag and that Barnhart closes in November. Managers say the lease ends at the end of 2025. Anyone know whats really going on? They are limiting entrances and implementing tracking systems. Not... — read more

Community service hours

Alumni network. Why would you ask me to join?
You gave me the boot after only a year. I barely knew anyone there. Stop emailing me to join. I don't want your swag, either.
Looking forward to another week in this lovely place
So what do we expect? More stress, drama and usual sounds of a chopping block?
Layoffs happen - pls not to HCL
What kickbacks do various leaders have that this company is doing business with HCL? If we must run, run to the arms of another outsourcing firm/vendor. Do the right thing.
Have there been any changes to the severance package recently?
Every new layoff round I keep worrying that severance will get nerfed even further.
