As a former retail banker, you people in the branches need to stop complaining. You are short staffed because people do not want to work there. If you don’t like it, get a new job. Retail banking is seriously a dying breed and just plain awful. I... — read more

Today was the day
It is finally over for me. I couldnt help but be a little sad as I left the building behind today, over the lost potential of these years. I see stately buildings with modern facilities and think back on how hopeful I was. It wasnt more than a few... — read more
Time to Move On
I just want to share for all the people who hate WF and find issue with just about everything else in the world. Italy is selling homes for a dollar. Maybe it is time to take advantage of that great near hand-out that many of you are looking for and... — read more
Zero Regard for Employees
I resigned a few weeks ago and have one day left. Not one person in HR has reached out to provide info on 401k, COBRA, anything. I'm not surprised; however, the total lack of support of employees in this company is one of about 173 reasons I left... — read more

Generational Viewpoint
I think people of all ages can agree that at a high level it feels like this world is split between Millennials and everyone else. When did it happen? When did everything change so dramatically in how people see business and the world ?

Wells has an active layoff board
Every time I take a random look at other other companies on The Layoff, I realize the same thing. Wells Fargo has one of the more active layoff boards. So, are we keyboard happy or are we in really in some deep sh^t.
The chickens of location strategy and RTO are already coming home to roost!
What I'm hearing: HR can't stay on top of attrition (team members aren't even waiting around for bonuses in early February) With the location strategy and RTO, the dinosaurs here are demanding a$$e$ in seats, and only in certain locations, but... — read more
Internal applications
I know we only ever talk about layoff stuff here….. but If I apply for a role in the bank through the internal career site does my manager get a notification (or anyone else from my team)? Thanks!
There's not much they can do
People, don't panic. What will WFC do to those who are not vaccinated if they implement a vaccine mandate? I doubt they're going to fire tens of thousands of people at once. Layoffs are one thing. They can pick and choose who to get rid of, but this... — read more

Auditing - Dante's seventh level
The busy work these audit teams generate is staggering and the quality of the questions and the process they use is a case study in how not to be effective. I have been asked to audit the same thing five times by three teams. Two of which are in the... — read more
So Glad to Be Done
I quit and resigned. I could not be more relieved to be done with this Circus. It has taken a huge toll on me, the stress, the corporate BS, etc. I have wanted out of here since the asset cap was placed in Jan. 2017 and stayed too long. I made a... — read more
Is JPM raiding WFC in plain sight?
I do agree that it sounds out there, but something doesn’t feel right. I’ve lived through another situation where one firm was quietly making plans to takeover my firm for years. We couldn’t see what was happening at the time, but it all made sense... — read more

Wells Fargo Nabs JPMorgan Bank Exec to Lead its Bid for Diverse Client Roster
Why isn’t anyone asking why all the JP Morgan execs can’t wait to get out of there? There seems to be a mass exodus, and yet we are being “led” by the protege of JP Morgans’s CEO. Does anyone have any concerns that we are mirroring JPM nearly... — read more
Layoff when Retirement Eligible?
HR sent me two emails saying that I was Retirement Eligible, because my age plus years of service combined to total some number. What happens if I get a layoff? Does being Retirement Eligible make me more likely to be laid off? My manager asked me... — read more

Unfortunate
I came to WFC via an acquisition. I came from a top notch ethical company who treated their employees as assets and their customers as the golden goose. No fraud, no scandals, no forced layoffs (they offered voluntary packages), no assert cap... — read more
How many used to WFH before COVID?
I know that the RTO policy doesn't separate those who worked from home before the pandemic and those who started due to the virus. I'm just wondering how many people will be affected by that oversight and how many will quit rather than relocate (I'm... — read more
Global employee questionnaire
One question asked whether I seriously consider leaving Wells Fargo, and I chose “I don’t know” (a.k.a “yes, I am actually but I am afraid of retaliation”). Would I get laid off because of this? Now I am kind of scared since I haven’t got an ideal... — read more
Hey Charlie
You're poor attempts of getting people to return to the office by the staged email of the girl who lost her father is not working on me. I just recently lost a 33-year-old, fully vaccinated fully healthy friend, father of 2 with 1 on the way to... — read more
WFH can be a real good thing

I am looking and looking and it doesn't look very promising out there.
Risk Management
Far from the finish line and yet improving overall risk management is being impacted by insufficient recruiting resources. Talent dropping left and right we can’t fill roles. Not only is everything around us unsustainable due to fte count (and lack... — read more
What do you get from being a Wells Fargo cheerleader?
Those who get on every thread where people are complaining and telling them to quit, denying that the situation is as bad as it is... What do you get out of it? It's not as if your boss is going to see it, it doesn't have the same effect as in-person... — read more
