This used to be a fully functional company. Now it's just broken processes, poor communication, and a lack of accountability.

If anyone thought WF wasn’t broken “before” you had your blinders on. Previously posted, duct tape and bubblegum. Although I would say brute force and shame.
Things only worked because the work force was +100k employees. Even the terrible ones could fill tiny, momentary niches to get something going.
@ez I don't care about these down votes I will receive, but I am with the last person - I could not ask for a better career. I don't doubt for a second that some employees feel this way, but to make these generalizations on behalf of an entire company is crazy. It is the layoff site, so not too many happy employees visit it. There are plenty of those around me....
Don't know what you are willing where you work but I've had a great career and so many opportunities with WF. I like my boss and leadership team. If you can do a better job become a leader and change it. 30+ years and has served me well.
it's the scapegoating and toxicity that can't be maintained
@OP
Ok?
Win 11 upgrade reeks of this
So true. I spend most of my time trying to just translate common English/business language into Tech/English isn’t my first language. And no one knows what is going on! I have to have 10 meetings with 10 different people all because no one wants too many people in one meeting (heavens no!) but each meeting just leads to another because no one can answer a question so now I need another meeting! We are so hopelessly fragmented and siloed. Why can’t we hire Technology people who can just say things in plain English?!
@an maybe in the last 2-4 years, this post was referring to history, which I would consider the last 10-20 years
I will have to take your word for it. It has been a dumpster fire as long as I've been in it
@af , I disagree. The amount they invest in systems is huge. Bridgett E. with her 22 mill salary. Count the thousands of contractors, H1bs, outsourcing locations. The ROI they get on their systems must be the lowest. Someday some executive manager will ask why it is so low.
@OP couldn't agree more! #wellsfargosh'tshow
Fully functional? Like a functioning alcoholic?
This place was always held together by gum and duct tape. With all the mergers over the years, they refused to consolidate or invest into any of the systems. That's also why we had so many people. WF always preferred to keep the people and leave the systems alone.
