If Wells Fargo pulls you into a temporary workforce share assignment take that as a warning that they want you gone no matter what your skill level is or years of service. Find employment elsewhere that will value your contributions, not use you and... — read more
Thank goodness it's over 4/4
New 'health and safety policy's effective 4/4. Certainly good news, hopefully it lasts.
I don't think this leadership is capable of admitting they were wrong
They've surrounded themselves with sycophants who only tell them what they want to hear, and they told them people will be happy to return to the office. Now that it's obvious that, no, people are not happy and are, in fact, refusing to comply and... — read more
This! A 100% this!
The genie is out of the bottle. Anyone who could do 80%+ of their job remotely isn't going to want a job that requires being in an office. Executive "leadership" can either lead or be late to the party. Yes, we get it. Charlie wants to get rid of... — read more

RTO Enforcement
Has anyone heard anything about how WF is checking RTO attendance and what is the consequence? What happens if you just don't go in?
Progressive or Regressive?
We're all inundated with how virtuous being 'progressive' is. It's all over the media, and we hear about Wells Fargo's progressive efforts all the time. But how does RTO square with progressiveness? The R in RTO is 'return'. As in, go back to how... — read more
They're actually not geriatric at all...
Previous thread comments have characterized the C suite as being geriatric. Understandable, given the outdated RTO push. RTO reeks of someone whose mind is firmly stuck in the 80s or 90s. But a quick Google search reveals that the CEO and COO are... — read more
LinkedIn News - Hybrid work isn't working for many
Boy, if hybrid isn't working, imagine how bad full time RTO will be, considering today most teams in most companies are all located in the same city or building, but across the country, and oftentimes in other countries. "Many businesses have... — read more
Different Work Addresses
Any of you remote workers seeing different work addresses between Team Works People Search and Workday? Theories?
WFA - Core Business ? Why? Sell It!
WFA is supposedly a core business. But why? It is the least profitable division. It has the highest expense ratio. It lags all competition in every growth metric. Fixing it isn’t possible. It’s target market are those that dislike the company the... — read more
Is something larger going on?
I have been noticing this year in particular has increased the trend of a lot of clueless groups and managers who don’t really have any good answers on the overall vision/strategy of the firm. As an example, RTO has been a good example of how... — read more
Not all of us have same experiences back at the office
If you're lucky to have a good manager and coworkers (God forbid I say team members) RTO is not going to be as much of an issue for you. You might even enjoy the change of pace. I and many others have horrible, micromanaging bosses who couldn't wait... — read more

Thank you.
What does Enterprise Architecture do?
This is a genuine question. I want to learn and I am not trying to provoke. I've asked this within my team and folks are having hard time explaining. I am on the business side. Thank you.
4.4 million workers quit their jobs in February
The Great Resignation is not slowing down. Many of the companies believe those fake polls that claim most of those who had quit regret doing it when it's simply not true. People are not afraid to leave their jobs and the push back to the office is... — read more
We can always rely on technicalities to win!
A federal judge said a complaint filed by three Georgia counties in 2021 had to be dismissed because the Fair Housing Act only reaches back two years and the suit didn’t include enough specifics about alleged misconduct by the bank during that time... — read more
What is wrong with recruiting?
I am starting to see objectionable trends. Requisitions sitting for months. Managers who cannot make up their mind. I will leave the DEI component out of it. It assume it’s also part of the issue. Keep to topic.
Wells Fargo needs better leadership
We will need and deserve better than Charlie.
2016 -2019 Sales Scandals - My Opinion
2016-19 sales scandal beat the company down hard. I suspect WF lost tons of clients, opportunities, COI referrals, etc, but nobody noticed. My read is that clients didn’t close accounts, they just took new business elsewhere. New accounts don’t... — read more
Synergy Decreasing
People starting later in the AM to commute Leaving Early to beat the traffic Looking for new work Not caring anymore I would say RTO has destroyed WF. Word is another CO might be on the way. Heard Chucky Silverspoon is planning his exit.
Workday down
Anyone else having issues getting into workday ?
More people are coming in
I was hoping it would go the other way, but it's not. More people today at the office than on the other two Mondays.
Has anyone had a meaningful face to face meeting since RTO?
Just curious -- has anyone experienced any face to face meetings (in a conference room with someone or pulling up a chair to look over someone's shoulder on their monitor) since RTO where you've thought - "Wow, that was productive. I couldn't have... — read more
I have accepted an offer from Citi.
More than what Wells has been paying me.
How many of you even noticed there were layoffs last week?
I understand RTO is important to many people but you're missing the forest for the trees. While everybody is preoccupied with it, WFC just happily cut a bunch of older employees without anybody batting an eye. I'm not saying to stop discussing RTO... — read more
Selective RTO
It’s one thing to force the people back to the office but it’s another thing to make a complete circus of that process. If RTO was, as they say inevitable, shouldn't it be applied the same to everybody? When I came in there were only a few people at... — read more

$20 is the new five
Inflation…
Sunday afternoon thoughts
Sunday afternoon would be considerably more pleasant without having to contemplate the Monday morning commute. And Monday would be so much more productive ….
Is your salary keeping up with the inflation?
I got my 2% raise, folks on social security got a 5.9% COLA for 2021 (cost of living adjustment). So, I am almost 4% down. Should i start to work about 4% less?
Number of those who are still WFH

Pension to Cash Balance bait and switcharoo
Anyone remember when they sold everyone who's age and years of service were below a certain number, they'd no longer be part of the pension program but not to worry, they'd be getting a new 'cash balance' plan that was really just as good. They even... — read more
