The word has come down: meet the new boss, worse than the old boss.
What gets measured gets managed... and all Powell wants to know is how many a-s cheeks are in how many chairs for how many hours.

This fook Powell is a complete id--t the only reason he's around is because of all the dirt he has done on behalf of the criminal syndicate at the top. He's too busy taking 1st class trips hitting happy hour hard on the company dime expensing it as team building can't wait till the feds take care of these fools
@pf look him up in Teamworks. full name is in OP's post.
@pf SP is the chief architect of most of the RTO and monitoring ideas that have made Wells Fargo a materially worse place to work in the last few years, it's worth keeping tabs in him even if you're not directly in his organization
@aa
Again, who the f is SP?
I don't work for him. He is irrelevant.
I spent less time thinking about people's time clocks when I was 19 years old and working as an assistant manager at Arby's, than Scott has spent focusing on badge metrics over the last few years. I honestly can't imagine being in such a position of wealth and power and deciding this is the most important thing to spend my time and mental energy on. How are you not beyond embarrassed that this is your primary legacy as a leader?
@j3 if he’s so bent on 5 days in office why is COO still at 3??
@j3 this. Spot on correct
FOR EVERYONE IN CORPORATE RISK: Scottie boy is going to make you hate WF more that you already probably do. Get ready for another HUGE hit to your work-life balance because this man hates every.single.US employee. It's all but guaranteed that uyou're going to 5 days in office come 2027. He's already demonstrated that he wants us all to either quit or get fired without severance with the decimation of COO. It's so bad over here. He is not a good leader, and while I have zero interest in getting to know the d-bag personally, I highly doubt he is a good person. An a-hole, some might say. F you SP!!
Nice try, Scotty.
What do you do?
Made the mistake of watching SP's stupid video about the new Hudson Yards office and how fabulous he thinks it is. It was linked one of those mass emails from Shart. It showed footage of every possible space in the building other than where employees actually sit to do work. Conference rooms, lobbies, common areas, hallways, everything except cubicles with people working in them. Presumably because even SP knows you can't make those areas look appealing no matter what you do. Ridiculous.
It is a bad news for risk - possibly going to 5 days per week. Only AI and folks in India are allowed to work remotely - US workers have to endure daily commute.
SP has been in the COO role long enough to show EXACTLY what he is and how he operates.
Expect everything you hate about the last few years to get worse.
News flash: sitting in a random building isn't my job. It's demonstrably worse with respect to company benefit. Hard concept to grasp, I know, but not all roles are the same. I was in office for well over a decade, because my role demanded it. Then I switched to a different role where it was pointless and inefficient to be in WF building. I go anyway, because rich A holes in NYC have decided that tormenting people until they quit is a valid business model to help personally enrich themselves. F them and all their bootlicking toadies.
@a2 he su-ks. SP su-ks.
@b7 if you think that Scott Powell would ever REDUCE the days in office requirement you’re so misinformed it’s dangerous. Wake up people, Scott Powell wants you all to either quit or get fired with no severance. The guy is a supervillain disguised as Mr, Nice guy.
My Bangladesh team has just been approved for 5-days WFH under his new non-US employee requirements.
Ahhh you’re right! Thank you for the reminder. I forgot that I’m inferior and you are right. Like all retail banking employees, as the corporate gods watching soap operas all day and attending Teams meeting may have suspected, I graduated bottom 10% of my class and didn’t go to college.
Now let me go grind away in the branch today solving complex issues while you corporate gods say “nothing from my end, thanks” 4 times today in Teams meeting as literally your only tangible actions of the day.
And you wonder why you guys are constantly getting laid off.
@d2 didn't you get the memo that the corporate crowd are better than you? They think they deserve to sit on their couch watching Oprah, while making alot more than most people in a branch, and when they cant they act like petulant children. How exactly do you get out of actally working five 8hr shifts every week because everyone on here knows thats slave labor and the human body is incapable of lasting long in such hostile conditions. Oh and you're a boot li---r for actually going in and working every day to the same corporate trash who despise your existence as proof of their own inadequacies.
One thing for sure: I feel bad that you guys will have to work 5 days per week again!
Signed, branch banking who’s been working 5-6 days per week the whole time since 2020.
Wait did I read the email correctly he is merging both his current team and risk togther? to make 1 new team.
If so, he would not have enough seating for 5 days in office for his entire org. It seems kinda of crazy to only keep one subset of his org at 4 days and majority of his org at 3 days in office. I doubt he has enough seats for over 60k employees.
please revert back to your pre-bootlicking days, if there ever were any.
Going to be 5 days a week starting in Jan for all of risk!
higher likelihood sp will move you to 5 days before 3 days. I'm guessing anyone who doesn't know who SP is probably doesn't know who Charlie is either.
What’s the likelihood he will return the current risk org back to 3 days in office? considering he manages like 58k employees seems unlikely he will be able to accommodate seating for 64k 4 days a week.
@a9 in a lot of cases you'd be right. Howver, if you don't know who Powell is, you don't work here or you're a complete id--t.
@OP
Who the F is SP?
Just because you apparently are forced to sniff the jock doesn't mean everyone at this place does.
what was purpose of this post, please revert back, god bless.
We could save the company about $30 million dollars with a simple AI agent which reads Tableau and writes an email about in office performance.
Wake up. He was the lead voice on RTO and championed the in office requirements for both days and hours. He is a true believer and has been the force behind everything in office. This is not news
