Our manager scheduled a virtual holiday party for next week! Does anyone know how that works? Are we supposed to buy our own beer and do a watch each other drink ?
Not news to us but…
DM is reporting the below. This isn’t news to anyone on this site but when MSM starts having these stories, I believe it scares people on Main Street and then they get tighter purse strings, etc. Self-fulfilling prophecy and all that. Morgan... — read more
Layoff Question
When it comes to being let go they say there is a 60 day working notice. Is the 60 days your severance if you are under 5 years or is it 60 days plus your severance? Just trying to figure this all out.
Data Analytics Tools
What sort of data analytics tools should I be learning in order for me to be more marketable so I can leave WF?
Confused by all the RTO posts
Is anyone’s office actually bustling? Mine’s empty. I hardly ever see anyone come in. A few do but it’s definitely not three days a week. Office is empty after 2 pm. More people used to come but it’s died down. I kind of assumed everyone’s org was... — read more
I find it laughable that people think WF is competent enough to enforce RTO
When has WF competently implemented ANY initiative? Pretty much every project I’ve worked on here has been a disaster. Half the project teams don’t even know what they are doing and how can you blame them when leadership is a mess. And the way that... — read more
Holiday Gift Card
Probably the sickest phishing effort yet by the firm. Seriously, on the run up to Christmas when I've been working my a-s off. These jokers have nothing better to do?
Earth Wind and Fire Really?
Wells spends money on a band from the 70s to play at Hudson yards but doesn't fund the bonus pool fully. I know the scale isn't even close but the optics of it are terrible
I still think RTO compliance rumors are bullsh-t
All these rumors about compliance yet the buildings are empty. I live near two hubs and I hardly ever see anyone. I came in today and there were literally three people including myself on the entire floor. By 2pm, it was just me so I left to go home... — read more
Plan your Last day as the First day of a month
To get 1/12 of you annual PTO (that you’ve sure as he|| earned, make sure you give your notice so that your last day falls on the 1st day of the following month. WHY, you ask? Because Wells Fargo credits 1/12 of your PTO on the 1st (biz day) of... — read more

Adventures in the office
Lugged my 10 pound bag filled with my laptop, headset, snacks and lunch, water bottle, and office shoes since leadership decided we no longer deserve assigned cubes and we can’t leave any items at the office. Saw 6 people today on my floor (a... — read more
Earth, Wind, Fire
These guys can't even record the audio right, its so low you can't even hear anything. I like how Charlie has this concert in Hudson Yard for himself too.
Wilson Towers Watson- Cash Balance Plan

Don't like the thread, poof we pull it. As long as it's anonymous no one knows. Really Chuckles? I'm calling Elon
People are coming into the office sick again
Seriously just let people stay home if they need to. It makes no sense forcing people to come in 3 days a week to spread germs during flu season

When it’s so quiet in the office you can hear your own breathing
On a floor that seats hundreds and I’ve seen 2 other people who I have no idea are. Remind me why I drove an hour to be here again? Oh yeah because I’m one of the unlucky people required to be here to collaborate with myself?

Seeing as how there continues to be bigger layoffs every month now, I was wondering if there was any indicators that you’ll get laid off?

Let's say I join another LOB. I want to make sure I get the 2022 bonus locked in before doing so. Is there such a lock-in date?

Exceeds expectations is a joke
How do you rate someone on exceeds expectations consistently? What if the expectation is that you exceed customer expectations? How do you exceed exceeding? Or is it like a double negative where it means you never meet expectations? Lol

Managers are busy with comp.......anyone know the criteria they use to decide our merit increase? Is there an actual formula or is it based on their personal feeling for each direct?

What is the SDLC employed at Wells Fargo?

RTO: Finding Memo...
why are some managers allowed to let workers be remote?
There had to be a memo
Corporate must have sent some sort of memo out to the team leaders. Before the virus, we had gatherings once every few months. Now it is so often I feel like I am being used for some game called team building. I swear next time it is PTO for me. I... — read more
Support shines no more
Roughly a year ago the person who supports me was laid off. The person who now backs up my work has not been updated, technically, to do my job. Permissions seem to falter. I am concerned that both of us might be on the cutting block. If so dear... — read more
