This place is awesome. Mandated to report vaccination status.....but, the site isn't responding. This place is a joke. Whatever.
Internal jobs site is down
Another sign
If your job is easily wfh, aren't you concerned

Companies switching to WFH model
Amazon, BoFa, Citi, Amex, Capital One, USBank, Lincoln ... these are just some of the companies that are WFH flexible. I am close to getting an offer from one of these! https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/post/companies-switching-remote-work-long-term/ — read more
You have been warned…
The RTO message is crystal clear based on the email and the details in the link at the bottom: You have to come back in If you are not vaccinated or not willing to disclose vaccination status then you will be subject to following the rules... — read more
Mandatory Vaccination Status
Somewhat bothered by the fact that it is now mandatory to respond and record everyone’s vaccination status. I already had COVID but that’s not an option , it’s either vaccinated , partially vaccinated or prefer not to disclose. Why are they ignoring... — read more
Band together and FIGHT!
Are any of the legit WF employees on this board willing to get together and fight this directive from Chuckie and his friends at the top? Or are most of you just planning to quit? Quitting is likely a better, less toxic option, but these guys need... — read more
Reading in between the lines regarding the return to office FAQs
When I read in between the lines of the return to the office FAQs, if you don't want to have collaboration that is just from casual conversations, Wells Fargo doesn't want you working for the company.
Who wants to bet?
While everybody is talking about WFH and not paying attention to anything else, Charlie will use the opportunity to continue with cuts? It's starting to feel that the WFH announcement had several ulterior motives behind it: including pushing people... — read more
CAO Monday Call. Roy Cooper Later this Week
Based on my observations the COO and CAO are not liked. Attendance is way down at their calls. CAO has something on Monday regarding employee development tips for your career. Initial attendance was so bad his directs sent emails to remind people to... — read more
We should all quit

Wells Fargo employees who are *NOT* vaccinated
July 19th, a mandator survey will ask if you are vaccinated. How will you respond (pick one and comment): LIE and say you have been vaccinated? Answer "Non-vaccinated", and comment if you think this will get you laid off /punished? .. — read more
Insurance?
Anyone think that Wells Fargo has taken out blanket insurance policies on employees naming the company the beneficiary in the event of our passing? It adds a different, more sinister facet to the return to office strategy.🤷🏻
Mid Years
Anyone had mid year yet? I get the vibe they are out to use them to get more attrition and exits. They will use anything you say all year against you, be forewarned. If you dare provide feedback about the work environment it will be turned against... — read more
Take control of your own destiny
I've WFH for just over 5 years, been an employee for close to 25. I've seen mergers, acquisitions, layoffs, etc. I've moved a few times for this company (some they paid, one I paid to get to a preferred personal location). Where I'm at now is 5 hours... — read more
So many companies are moving towards WFH
Unlike our upper management, so many other competent ELTs have realized that WFH works better both for them (fewer costs, increased productivity) and their employees. A lot of those companies are currently hiring for remote positions and I've already... — read more
People think I'm a dedicated employee.....
but I'm actually on a 30 year long con to take down corporate America from the inside.
Down 17K, 50K to go.
Well, we know the head count in reporting is behind a few thousand from the Q2 reports, but still a long ways to go... "On top of these cost cuts, the large bank reduced professional services expenses by 14% in the quarter and has made initial... — read more
Did people read the same memo I did?
From what I read it seems that most of us will have more ability to WFH than before COVID. The only ones who got scr___d were those who were WFH fulltime before all of this. But it seems more winners than losers if more WFH is the goal. But from what... — read more
The other reason for RTO no one is talking about....
Banks have a F__ ton of debt on their "off balance sheet" books called CMBS. CMBS loans are valued based on the rents collected. If you are home working, you are not going to the city to buy overpriced shoes, over priced meals away from home, or... — read more
We need to stick together, not attack each other.
Except for the oddballs that left and come back to troll, the rest of us are still coworkers. We are all affected in some measure by the layoffs, RTO and hub strategy. That person you attack may be sitting next to you shortly. This forum should... — read more
Shared cubes in office
Will we be expected to share keyboard, mice, and Skype headsets with numerous other people who use the cube?
Consequences for NOT Returning to Office?
Are there any consequences for NOT returning to the office three days a week? Or just a directive to do so? Do they plan to fire people who do their work but don’t go in to the office? And if they do fire us, on what basis?
Relying on Natural Attrition
"Over time, we would love to do as much of it through natural attrition as possible. Given the size of the company, we have significant attrition and people self-select because of how we're going about doing things."- C.S. Response during the Q2... — read more
I don't get your issue
You all worked in the office before. You all commuted, you all had to deal with your coworkers and bosses being in the same room with you. You all did that for years, some of you for decades without a second thought. So why is it suddenly such a big... — read more
Relo or Layoff Update
Does anyone have info for those that are nowhere near a hub that were sent a relo or layoff letter before pandemic? Those Scott and Saul emails were clear for everyone else but us. Thank you.
The Race Is On
I already had several interviews (external) in progress before today's RTO announcement. And I'm not letting up until I'm out of here. It's not merely RTO, there's so many things that this place does and doesn't do that just don't resonate or align... — read more
Quitting while on leave?
Anyone know if there are any ramifications for quitting during parental leave?
Scott Powell Says the Pandemic is Subsiding?
Does he not listen to the news (and his peers)? It appears to be spiking nationwide. Out of touch with reality, maybe? Welcome to the Circus.
I Don't want to work here anymore
Never worked with so many lazy people in my life. I'm not showing up in the office and adding a 2 hour commute just to show my face if everything i do is with people 3K and 8K miles away, its just d-mb. The work is depressing, the people here are... — read more
Concord CA and San Francisco
Neither location has been selected as a hub for Corporate Risk. With RTO coming up in September/October, are they going to ask employees to relocate to a hub by October?
If Wells' arbitrary and dangerously misguided RTO plan has wronged you, this is the journalist to contact
This is the (public figure) banking reporter for the Charlotte Observer, who reports on banking news/WF there. The prior reporter at this desk, Austin Weinstein, has posted here in the past looking for our insight, so I feel this is not out of line... — read more
Is there a limit on how many severance packages?
I was displaced and did not use all of my severance package as I was rehired by WF within a few months. If I get displaced in 3 years from now, am I entitled to another full severance package? Or is there a limit on how many SP you get... — read more
Return to office is a pipe dream. Just because execs want it doesnt mean the virus cares
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E6cUFyxXsBEwItn?format=jpg&name=small I want Bezos money. Doesnt mean im gonna get it, no matter how much i wish it true. These id--t "leaders" are dreaming.
Everyone is rto in September and it's not just Wells Fargo.
Why you people think only Wells Fargo is dragging you into the office after September is beyond me. I have talked with numerous companies and they're either back already or they're coming back in September. This wfh wasn't meant to last. It was... — read more
Endless Excuses for not RTO
