I was laid off in October. I have interviewed with a dozen or so companies over the past 4 months, including a contract position in WF technology for about 15% less than I was making before. Much less when you factor in the loss of benefits.
Last month I ended up with 4 seperate offers (including the WF tech one) in the span of about 2 weeks. Three were with financial institutions and one was with an aerospace company.
Let me tell you how GOOD it felt to call and decline the WF position.
The position I accepted pays 30% more than what I was previously making at WF AND it's full time remote. I've been in the job for almost a month and the culture difference is night and day. This company is excited to have me and I feel valued.
Wells Fargo: Thanks for providing some of leverage needed to negotiate with the better company. You can take the position you so desperately need to fill and shove it. Maybe you shouldnt have laid off the people you clearly still need. There are other companies out there who value my professional experience more than you ever did.
For those of you still drowning in that toxic cesspool: just know there are better places to work. Don't let Wells Fargo devalue your true worth, because it is probably way more than you realize.

I thought we were going to chop the company up into pieces, not add more?
The New School plans to reduce its workforce by 15%. This reduction will occur through layoffs and eliminating vacant positions. The university faces a $30 million structural deficit. Declining enrollment and increased operating expenses contribute to this deficit. This follows a previous 7% workforce reduction via voluntary buyouts.

I have a friend who sits in Raleigh. He told me his manager said they will phase that site out in a few years for his lob. Has anyone heard similar?
When I started Wells, wells offered 3 of those.
Now it offers zero.
Last company I worked for when oil hit 120 a barrel went under. Wells wont go under but the Fed will allow it to be bought and merged.

How are we all okay with this?
No more rigged best of belk awards for managers favorites?
It’s clear Dan and the board are focused on cost and the location strategy is dead. No point having offices only 30% full and paying 100% cost. Further rifs are going to reduce sites below critical mass. So which ones are in danger?
To be honest id welcome getting released from this pressure cooker, a truly horrible place to work
In one region, they have laid off or fired BOAs 3x (that I know of ....there could be others) within the last year.
Pattern: All women over 50. All single wage earners, worked at EJ for several years and one was getting ready to retire in September. Told the news out of the blue on Zoom calls with Associate Relations.
Simply got rid of them to bring in younger inexperienced people.
If anyone else experiences this situation, call an attorney and the EEOC.
Just curious if anyone has recently seen any normal or increased activity of people being FIRED, ie, let go without a package to, you know, tap into all those best place to work vibes? Seems something we'd all like to do pulse check on every so often. Can't be too specific like seen 1Z-2Z in 3 months, 5-6 in 6 months.... now I've have seen at least one and it is done under the cover of darkness like a present over Christmas from Congress which no one voted on.
Interesting post on X, it's clearly not from a VP in oracle, but the numbers and sentiment in it is spot on. https://x.com/gothburz/status/2032125473199714767
RTO for what reason ? Do these id--ts understand no work after a layoff ?
Dell has almost played this to a perfect T and has given other tech companies a 100 percent effective road map to get rid of human capital. Does it really matter nope, what matters is Dell a 15 billion dollar company at best and it will look and act like a 15 billion dollar company soon
I have nearly 15 years at the bank and am at retirement age. If I were laid off, would I still receive all my retirement benefits, along with any severance they might offer? Or would I be better off retiring before I get laid off? I fully expect more cuts in my BL.
This AI thing is unsustainable, however you slice it. But hey, at least the internet's having fun with Avocado sc--wup.
Word came down this week in Denver that some NA CS jobs are moving to Toronto or Bogota by end of year. US employees will be onboard until end of year to train the replacements in Toronto/ Bogota. Are any other areas impacted? Product, Tech? How widespread is this happening?
In the middle of the “mother of all layoffs,” company is filing H-1B petitions saying they can’t find talent—makes perfect sense, right?
Who can tell me what project North Star is? I've heard rumblings it will be massive headcount cuts in Houston. Anyone with details?
Most of the time when we are in the office everyone is just talking about the layoffs or speculating. Quite literally every single project we have worked on over the last 6 months has been halted, changed, changed again, and re-structured. So it’s hard to develop and close business when the target keeps moving. F*ck it. Genuinely hard to work in these types of conditions of constant fear and changes. I refuse to accept the whole “well that’s just Oracle!” Yes, changes at massive companies like this are inevitable. He-l - I used to work at another major competitor. This is not my first rodeo. But THIS level of volatility is breathtaking and staggering! I feel guilty that my productivity has slowed down, but not really.
Many workers are now choosing to stay in their current jobs. This trend reflects a slowing job market and reduced worker confidence. The expected quit rate dropped to a decade low of 15.9% in February. Employers also cut 92,000 jobs in February, raising labor market concerns. A low quit rate typically signals slower wage growth and fewer opportunities.

Suppliers no longer expect market conditions to normalize. They are adapting operations for ongoing market instability. This follows tens of thousands of job cuts in 2025. Relentless regulatory uncertainty also prompted this change. This information comes from a recent S&P Global survey.

Skilled, experienced, two were veterans. Feels like they're targeting the ones we actually need. Apparently being good at your job is now a liability.
Bentley Motors will cut 275 office roles. This represents about 6% of its total workforce. Declining China sales and low EV demand are factors. US tariffs also contributed to this decision. The company aims to maintain competitiveness.

Advertised as having great culture, decent pay, work-life balance. Then you get on board and it's everything but. To make it all worse, frequent layoffs keep you on your toes constantly. I fell for the cr-p hook, line and sinker three years ago. I've been trying to wiggle out for a year now, except opportunities are fewer every day. Now I wish I'd gone with any other company.
I've been with Nike for over ten years. Nothing but a downward spiral of varying speed. I've yet to see a real opening for progression, or a payoff for hard work. I gave up a while ago. I'm just waiting for my number to come up. I'm fully aware of how bad it's been out there, and it's getting worse. But I just can't do this anymore.
