Chainsaw Charlie should be renamed Hacksaw Charlie.
A quarter of a million employees are way too many will not cut it. Get this thing done already instead of fostering an environment where employees are depressed and have no loyalty to the company.
My take is that WFC is playing everyone for a fool again
I think we all are being taken for a ride. Regulators: They are tired of dealing with us. Prior management was disrespectful and arrogant, angering the wrong people. Charlie has fallen on the sword and presented a plan, any plan. Regulators can... — read more

Everyone got their readers and latte's ready?
Better call Saul.
Last day was the fifth of February. No bonus in this check and hours docked
Is this common? I worked the full final quarter, and yet got no bonus, and it looks like they docked me approximately 25% of my pay. Do I need to call HR? It's worth noting it was voluntary resignation and not a termination.
Resume writing and job interviewing session next week
Did you sign up in teamworks? I could use it. Sounds like they want to get us prepared for the inevitable.
Next week
Anyone else hearing about potential notices next week 2/23, 24 or 25)?
Is this a joke?

Attrition
I've seen three announced resignations just in the past week and a half in my group. Are other areas seeing a larger than normal uptick in attrition this year? I'm curious how that could impact the planned layoffs, if at all.
Bonus Stolen
Where is my bonus???
