80% of it I've worked remotely and received promotion.
The other 20%, I still work remotely, I just do it from their designated cubical in downtown trafficville.

It not making sense helps drive voluntary attrition, which is the #1 goal. That's how nonsensical becomes sensible in the eyes of a truly evil executive.
I'm in AZ, and the entire time I've been here I've had to cater my working schedule to folks on the east coast and in India. I've never actually had local team members, in over a decade. With remote work, it used to be fairly easy to accommodate calls at 5 and 6 am. Now I either decline those calls, or bend my sleep schedule to try to accommodate them if I can't reasonably say no. Either way I'm measurably less productive than I used to be. Make it make sense.
@c5 Not to put words in his mouth -- he can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think what he's driving at is that WF used to be an adult workplace with realistic expectations about how, where and when you conduct your duties so long as you're doing a good job, whereas now it is essentially a high school.
WF has never been paradise, but now it's more like a concentration camp than a modern place of business.
@aa I get you're trying to ragebait because you're either so antisocial that this is the only interaction you can get or you charge a fee for this service and the bank is paying you.
Why are you so willing to defend "old rich people"? Do you feel personally attacked? Is that it? You're so old and so rich that trolling on this forum is how you spend your time?
@aa You want to be an hourly employee, then go punch a clock. Wells Fargo is a 24/7/365 business with overseas employees 9 1/2 hours ahead of Eastern Time and 12 1/2 hours ahead of Pacific Time. I dont need to go into the office to meet with overseas employees, or those in another state.
@aa "Grow up and lick boot like I do!" This is why we can never progress in this country. Half the workforce equates standing up for yourself as petulance. Spineless conformity is not equivalent with maturity. If everyone were like you, we wouldn't have weekends or PTO or eight-hour days. Now sit down and STFU, you soulless, a-s-kissing food-tube.
Other industries monitor/audit literally every aspect of their company, including every minute of its employees with regards to productivity and a lot of other things. Just because you got a 20 year vacation from the reality the rest of the world's always had to deal with doesnt mean the mean old rich people are now out to get you. Grow up already you petulant child.
I've got over two decades here, the entire second-half of that has been remote. A fair chunk of the first half was the remote but in office since I supported over 10,000 machines that were not at my location.
This current management team are just slaves to the ultra-wealthy investor class that wants to put the non-wealthy back in their place after seeing just how outdated the corporate overseer system was during covid.
And lets be straight about AI. It's not there to benefit you, it's not there to make you more productive, it's there to cover management's arses by auditing every single thing that is done on a WF system, by a WF employee/contractor/vendor.
