Does this place hire people fresh out of college
I haven’t seen any young people hired here in ages. Management recently showed a list of interns in a PPT slide and 95% were Indian names. A coworker told me his kid tried to get a WF college scholarship here and the company rejected them, I didn't... — read more
What percentage of employees have/have not accepted the $2k stocks?
I don't see it published anywhere, but perhaps someone is close to the data and feels like sharing. I'm interested to know what % of employees have not accepted the award. A high enough % of employees not accepting the award would reflect chronic... — read more
CPG Outsource Fiasco
So the plan is to outsource all of CPG to three main providers and you must be offered a similar role. Some folks were displaced as part of this, but I was one of the “lucky” ones picked to go to CBRE. Part of the job requirement though for me to... — read more
How do you deal with toxic people on a team?

In retrospect, being laid off was a favor
At WF, it’s easy to completely lose perspective. I got caught up in the constant pressure, toxicity, and anxiety too. I stopped thinking about my own interests, let alone imagining that I could actually work somewhere else. I was laid off six... — read more

Should I start packing?
Today I finally lost it on my manager after months of being micromanaged, talked down to, and blamed for things that weren’t even mine. I didn’t yell, but I definitely didn’t keep it neutral. I’ve put up with so much, especially since he was brought... — read more

Asset Cap
This is a couple of months late, but I think it's hilarious how WF employees celebrated the lifting of the asset cap. Seemed almost like bragging about it, like look at us. We're on the move! We got 2k in RSRs! Bo-m! WF is back! Lol. Um, I'm not so... — read more

Let Go for Poor Performance - No severance.
Yeah right. More than 20 years in tech and always respected and rewarded for my work . The only problem is the job has to go to Indian and my Indian manager of a year really didn't like me being American and having American views. Bummer.
"20 Year Severance "??? Not 40 weeks sev?

Which LOBs have been impacted today?
Sounds like layoffs are happening all over. Good luck to everyone affected. Hope you find a better workplace and more happiness, though that’s not a high bar to clear coming from this place.

Is it really that crazy to walk away from a good paycheck if the job is destroying your mental health?
I’m still here, but just thinking about work gives me panic attacks. It’s toxic and even though I don’t have anything lined up yet, I feel like I’m out of time. I’ve put my health last before and it never ends well.
