So what is going on with business line I am working within, WFA? Is the 10 employee rule under one manager applicable to us? People are dropping out around me but it seems random and by their own decision to leave. Kind of creepy….
SOC10
Next step is for all managers to have 10 directs. The numbers do not add up for many. Span of Control 10. They will need to demote and displace more managers. Second problem, I believe there is also a cap on the number of directs. I foresee a... — read more
Again Charlie shares his thoughts
Charlie loves to share his thoughts as the CEO. But did you notice that he addresses DEI in nearly all of his postings? Even if it has nothing to do with the subject at hand. Yep. CYA with DEI. I hate to break it to you Charlie, but you are a bit... — read more
Another HR leader runs away
DD, it was nice to know ya. Joins head of recruiting and comp and benefits as leaders who want no part of this company. This person from JPMC won't have a team by the time she starts.
They're dropping like flies!
Two people quit my team in the last week. Gonna be lots of departures folks! Lots of unhappy campers on their way out.
Question For WFB Alumni: Why Did You Leave Wells Fargo?
Any advice for the rest of us? What were the reasons why you left? What's your new position? Are you happier now?
Vaccines, RTO, what's next?
What other reasons are people going to come up with to justify wanting to quit? Just admit you're not happy here and you want to leave and be done with it. You don't need an excuse. Nobody is going to blame you. Even if you don't think you're using... — read more
If mandatory Vax will you stay or go?
At some point this is coming….
Sunday blues
FML.
October
Let me be the first to just say it, "OCTOBER will not end well" for so many. Sure, it's just a prediction. But we will know soon enough.
It’s just a job that makes others rich
Relax, guys and gals. No matter how much you have devoted to this bank, you are just making the upper management and institutional investors richer. Don’t think too much. Just let it be, and I am sure you will be fine.
What if CS and JD are working together?
It's a potentially brilliant scheme. Two years ago, JD quietly makes a few well-placed calls recommending CS as a candidate for our new CEO. CS fakes being hard to get which erases any concerns our BOD might have about the relationship and they... — read more
Is there anything I can do?
I keep getting new jobs added to my list of duties that were never supposed to be mine to do (people who were doing them either left or were laid off) with no compensation. My workload is increasing, my working hours are increasing significantly, and... — read more
Hub closest to Sacramento?
I've worked from home successfully for years. Now have to RTO, but which office? Concord? SF? Local branch? I know they want to get rid of all CA workers (preferably through "natural" attrition), but in the meantime, am I supposed to drive that far... — read more
Attrition?
Have received two notices in the last week reminding us about the employee referral program. And have had several key players on projects announce they are leaving Wells with 2 weeks notice. Maybe the attrition by "how we run things" scheme is a... — read more
Wells Fargo is Evil Master of Blaming Others, Shifting Responsibilities
Wells Fargo wont get the house in order due to the systemic economic inefficiency and corrupt politically culture of Wells Fargo rules by a group of overpaid and incompetent management that they benefit and profit from the status quo and political... — read more
Do Not Ever Move For this Company
Don't do it! I was supposed to relocate to a hub this Fall. I backed out. Was the d-mbest idea ever. I quit.
Enjoy your weekend, folks
I've seen too many people say over the last few months they can't properly rest during the weekend due to work. You have to change this. If you don't you'll completely burn out and that's going to cost you either your job, your health, or both. I... — read more
The noose is tightening - new SEC disclosure rules coming. Offshoring will finally be exposed.
Companies push jobs offshore because companies are not required to disclose where in the world employees are physically located and the cost savings to the company are incredible. A corporation will do ANYTHING - even highly if its questionable and... — read more
When You Make an Enemy for Life
There's a reason ex-Wells team members still come here. When a company/manager treats someone so badly, that person is not just going to forget about it. It's the opposite of making a friend for life. Personally, I will do everything I can to troll... — read more
I'm going to a company that actually wants me to work there, unlike this one!
I've spent nearly a decade here. Why, I do not know!? I came before the sales practices scandal erupted, have seen the roller coasters of changes, merry go round of leadership, cost cutting, billions in fines levied and paid, congressional scrutiny... — read more
Wishing you all well
Just wanted to wish my fellow Wells Fargo associates a wonderful weekend. Uh, sorry, not so fast Charlie, I didn't mean you and the board and your hired Chase/BNY gang.
I have an idea regarding Hotel Seating at work!
Let’s eliminate ALL assigned private, manager and executive offices ASAP. Our fair and thoughtful leaders should fully support this idea because it opens up more office space and therefore cuts costs, which is our leaderships’s primary goal. This... — read more
Medical Exemption to RTO
I believe folks on here should share when or if they have submitted Remote Work requests on the grounds of a medical exemption. Depending on the State of Work/Residence it would be helpful to track trends if the company is denying requests... — read more
Do layoffs ever spill out to Friday?
Meaning, are we sure it's over?
Had an interview with another company
And they are rto in October with no assigned desk space either. Basically said it's first come first serve arrive early. Pretty much the same as here. Is this the new normal? Some people are slobs and I don't want to use a desk before someone else... — read more
Quit over a month ago. Got a random $1400 payment today
Last day was in late June. Already got my final paycheck with PTO payout. Today I got a $1400 deposit. Any ideas what that might be?
Is RTO company wide mandate?
Or will dept and managers still have discretion? Anyone know for sure ?
False praise
In our last department meeting our boss praised all of us. I saw it more as a plea for us not to bail. So it came off as patronizing. Anyone else?
WFC is doomed
Hi, In tech. Worked hard and accepted another offer today. Better pay and better environment. So glad that I will be putting in 2 weeks notice tomorrow. There is hope. Market is really good. Get out for your own sanity. This place is doomed. Good... — read more
No layoffs today
Small scale disruption .. may be. But no real tangible losses anywhere . Why do people create panic in this forum ?
I haven't received a pay increase in 3 years - should I leave and other thoughts
This is a meat and potato's type post. I like to think i work hard for this place, i try and find creative solutions for problems, network, keep my skills up, work an extra hour after after everyone logs off at night, i log in on weekend and read... — read more
Any guesses on RTO clock in/clock out requirements?
How do you suppose time will be measured for salaried employees? Years ago when I worked with Legal and other highly compensated ICs, their game was to log in from home, make an appearance for a handful of hours, and finish taking meetings on their... — read more
Why is the company so willing to harm its employees?
I know a lot of people in the workforce have still been having to go to work. If you are a grocery store worker you can't very well work at home. If you are a dentist or a doctor you can't very well work at home. Is. However we have spent the last... — read more
At least now we know
I think we can now say with certainty that the pattern of layoffs every third Thursday in a month is holding up. While it sucks to have to stress over layoffs at least once a month, at least we have the time in between to relax and recharge. I know... — read more

What’s good for the goose…
I’m pro- masks, but I’m not looking forward to wearing one 8 hours per day. (A big thank you to our bank branch employees that have been doing it for a year and a half now.) Here’s a thought: let’s put Charlie and the C- Suite’s desks right in the... — read more
I cannot wait to go into the office.
Granted, I have never been in the office before. It will be awesome wearing a mask with everyone else wearing a mask. I won't have to bother learning to associate a name with anyone's face because their face will be covered up anyway. I can't wait... — read more
