If only our government did this too…
Derek, look down your org!
I wasn't a manager (low level grunt). When I got a DUI, I was nervous, I asked my lawyer if could get in trouble. He said 'nope', he has represented a lot of wf employees with no repercussions.
and he was right! no problems what-so-ever.
Google your manger and their address. You’ll know the answer…
I had a coworker who was fired for bouncing a check in his Wells Fargo account.
I was displaced last year from Wells after working there about 10 years (in Ent. Inv.). I was hired by Cisive, a company that does background screening for many of the top companies. I can’t speak to what Wells is doing now (they used to screen at onboarding through HireRite, although I think they’ve changed vendors by now), but many companies do screen periodically to catch employees who have been convicted of crimes post employment. We have contracts with a few dozen top companies (household names) that do this, so it is a thing.
@dt The theory is the convicted go to jail. Hard to hide that your in jail from your manager, so its self enforcing. I doubt many people fall through the cracks.
Initial screening is one this, but how do you monitor people convicted while employed here? They should be terminated.
I believe this, my identity monitoring service notified me someone was doing a check on me
@da Under certain bank laws, its illegal to work at certain positions in a bank of you've been convicted of certain crimes.
They should go for dr-g tests, it would work better for finding offenders. 🤷♀️
BS. As long as you didn't like on application or in disclosure for events after being hired, there is nothing WF can do.
Shocked that they dont already do this.
It's against the law, this isnt simply a WF thing. When you got fingerprinted for the job, they were doing a background check. Theoretically, if you are convicted, WF would know and... well, let you go. Its plausible though people are slipping through the cracks, maybe because of remote work, or because of lenient sentences imposing probation only.
I remember seeing something on here about a profane tirade at a McDonald’s in Ypsilanti a few years ago. If that was even a WF employee, anyone know what came of it?
HR screens them so that they have a count of people they know they have to protect.
Screen every fcking H1B. They are scammers. They commit H1B frauds.
@ab truly something to be proud. Just think… others go on to be president
If this is like similar actions in the past it was really only for financial crimes.
just managers? what about wfa people that bring in a lot of money? what about that dui for a non manager? Howabout another WSJ article about how the investment bankers love adderall?
There are thousands of Indian managers at Wells who has conviction and HR is not able to screen them. These Indian mafias will stay anyway.
They did this back in like 2013 too in the Wells office I worked at. They did additional background screenings on employees and if you had any type of conviction for shoplifting, back checks, etc. they termed people. This was shortly before they closed my entire site (around 2,000 laid off) so it's like a pre-emptive measure.
@a7 for new hires probably yes. if thos is true, it is to target people that have been with the company for years.
They should do dr-g test as well IJS..
They would probably have better luck with a dr-g test.
you mean this manager is still employed with wells even after a criminal record?

@a8 I'm good. Breathizer wasn't calibrated in two years. WF agreed it was a good learning moment
Whew! Coulda been a career changer. I'm now in charge of picking who stays or goes
Crazy, right?
@a5 nope youre out of here...
Odd,I thought that was existing procedure. Especially since I was fingerprinted when hired.
Same troll who insists there is activity tracking
Who is scared of this? lol
