New System Tray Icon "Your location is currently in use"
Saw this lovely new system tray icon when I logged in just now. This means that your computer is trying to figure out where it is based on built-in GPS (if it has it), wifi and ethernet signals to determine your physical location. No clearer... — read more

It seems quiet lately
I dont know if this is a commonality for a lot of you, but it seems like there is a lull in communication and activity. Is anyone else seeing / sensing this as well?
Here’s an idea…
Regarding those who are using this forum to make political statements to start arguments - Why even engage them? Why give them what they want? Just ignore them. No comments, no up votes or down votes. Man, that’ll pi$$ them off. Sometimes you can... — read more
Employee Numbers EOY
Without providing enough detail to OUT my identity, suffice it to say that I'm close to a team that has the task of providing what I'll call a "widget" to every employee of WF by Q1 2022. These "widgets" are not cheap trinkets. They're a piece of... — read more
100% WFH all but dead (at least for my group)

How are people giving notice?
My manager rarely interacts with me if there’s not a meeting. Are people resigning via email or setting up 1:1 meetings or how are people going about this nowadays, remotely?

Layoffs helped pay for new executive in Home Lending?
Home Lending hired a new executive. I’m sure all those people laid off last week helped pay for his salary. Of course it did. If you haven’t realized it’s a shell game for the execs by now where the average worker gets shafted, you haven’t been... — read more

JPM’s attrition strategy vs WF’s strategy
So I think if you look at JPM, they create really good exit options for the employees so you can rarely see deadwoods staying there don’t want to move. And then if you look at WF, there’s literally no exit option since the techniques and skills... — read more

Do you still hang out with people who left?
I don't see a point in it, to be honest. A former coworker (we were friendly at work but I wouldn't consider us friends) has asked me several times to meet up for a beer. I politely refused each time (said I had plans already) but the truth is I had... — read more
3 days a week?
So after going back to the office, how many days do we have to go to the office per week? Do we have enough office space if the minimum of days in the office is 4 or 5? I am surprised that WF still wants everyone to get into office.

It's all the same
Take it from somebody who used to work for two other big-name banks before WFC, they're all the same. I see people here bemoan how bad it's here, how it's the worst this, the worst that, when it's actually normal. Everything WFC is doing and the way... — read more
