A while ago there were rumors of cutting it to 1 week per year of service. Anyone hear anything?
Today (12/31) is my last day!
As I met the eligibility to do so, I chose to retire and get away from all of the dysfunction. To those of you holding out for 2/5 for bonus, brace yourself; the demands to get 'priority' work done will be unlike anything you have ever experienced... — read more

Audit layoff question.
Did audit dump people a few months ago? I noticed that a person I know has vanished from Skype. If it was a displacement, it would have been more than 2 months ago because she's not zz'd.

Food for thought: Maybe the people who criticize the current management team the most are the people who care about Wells Fargo the most.
After reading someone’s characterization of David Kowach on another post, it made me realize how much I miss working in a team environment. We worked hard and we worked together and we put in long hours and loved every minute of it. We trusted our... — read more
Any thoughts David Kowach? He just seems he’s disconnected from reality
I don’t know about you guys but this David Kowach character that came from Wells Fargo advisors seems so disconnected from the reality of the world of retail. The guy keeps saying “I worked as a teller, banker, manager, premier banker.” Just because... — read more

Technology is taking over Wells Fargo
If you look at the job openings, more than half of the jobs in US are in technology the rest are in other lob. This is going to be rough
WFC posts are telling
Compared to other company layoff posts WFC by far is the most pitiful, juvenile, whiny and unprofessional. Not all but definitely more than average.
I have an idea. Let’s outsource the whole company.
The idea is to make as much money for shareholders as possible. Wells only cares about cost-cutting and profits, the more the better. Well then, let’s put our money where our mouths are. Why is it a good idea to outsource only basic IT... — read more

Dear Santa.....
Dear Santa, Can you please make Wells Fargo Great Again?
Charlie can not lead this company out of turmoil, if his leadership style has employees at each other’s throats
Young vs old, new vs long-term, California vs NY, US vs offshore, race vs race, gender vs gender, manager vs employee, overpaid privileged senior execs vs everyone beneath them, in-the-know vs not-in-the-know, self-labeled workers vs so-called... — read more

I've been hearing some real horror stories.
Just letting you all know
If you only have business related degrees like finance, economics, MBAs or anything else, you no longer have job security. Why? because we are increasingly moving to a more a technology centered time where everything is dominated by tech. If you only... — read more
I really hope...
That 2021 will be a better year. We were challenged in 2020, as individuals and as a company. My family had hard time, but we'll bounce back. I hope that Wells becomes a better company next year. More employee centric. It'll be hard as I am not... — read more
Career Services

Pandemic Market Changes
Tech stocks on a huge upswing. Wells wasted years hiding from it. Maybe it wont be too late if they start moving with a sense of urgency. Never hide from the future, it wins every time. Be careful, old things will fail and old ways of doing things... — read more
Horrible new hires
Looks like we're sc-aping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to new hires. To say that incompetence reigns supreme would be an understatement. It just goes to prove that any person worth their salt is staying as far away from Wells Fargo as they... — read more

Where's growth?
