Nice to see Wells Fargo employees attacking the public who voice disagreement with "there are no black executives" Charlie Scharf addressing the Georgia voting law. I guess the plan is only provide banking services for people that work at Wells Fargo.

Some of you folks are ill informed and need to get non biased news. This law has more to it than just voter ID.
the only people that think the GA law is discriminatory based on racial lines, are those guilty of the bigotry of low expectations. Do people really think that, for example, black people aren't smart enough to navigate the process? Or that they're too lazy to jump through the hoops? Seriously? It's amazing how racist the woke crowd is. This law does establish a system with rules, and those rules will make it much harder to rig an election. That's the objective. Will it reduce voter participation? I suppose it's possible, but it has nothing to do with race, and it limits participation the same way a driving test limits participation on public roadways. Combatting fraud is a worthwhile objective. The last election was a joke. GA isn't alone, a lot of states are changing their laws–primarily because the politicians constituencies demand it. Charles should stay in his lane and/or care more about fraud.
@ikd+1aafDq60 Good god, at least it was coherent. What does your post even mean?
Charlie is a overpaid woke kiss up. Asking for ID prevents fraud. Guess Trump was right Biden’s victory was a fraud.
@vub+1aafDq60 you do realize that the majority of Americans agree that you should present ID to vote?
You also lump an entire generation into a monolithic ideal. Talk about stereotyping.
BTW, WF may not be bouncing back any time soon:

Allowing people to take off work on Election Day is the one and only thing Charlie has done that I agree with.
@kqv shows a complete lack of understanding how corporations work.
A corporation needs customers. The largest block of customers in the United States of America are Millennials. Millennials happen to be very conscious of what is going on in Georgia, therefore a corporation like Coca-Cola, which isn't as popular with the generation that is now in power in this country. Not to mention the risk of being boycotted by that exact group of consumers.
Corporations are the ultimate politicians, reliant on other people's money, care deeply about public perception, can be taken down at any moment by a determined group of people.
Who cares what any corporation thinks of Georgia voter laws?!!!! Focus on banking. Coca Cola - focus on making great beverage products. Delta - focus on customer service and flying planes! Big corporations don't run this country, the people do!
@ikd+1aafDq60 let's break it down for you, so it's easy to understand:
- WF posted a message from CS attacking a new law in Georgia designed to reduce voter fraud.
- The public (i.e., customers, non-customers, but not employees) pushed back.
- WF employees attacked those people in the comments.
I'm sure what they did violates WF policy, but it won't be enforced, because it's the 'right' kind of rule breaking.
I think the recent positions the bank is taking with respect to hate in our society and politics is to take a stand on a more fair and equitable society. If society here in US is prospering, the long term effect to the bank will be positive.
That being said, companies have started taking unbiased(?) political positions on things that are outside their scope (such as voter suppression). I suppose that is a company’s way to fight back against parties/politicians who have become the modern day organized crime. The pandemic and the appalling way it handled the coronavirus and the various stimulus programs confirm that to me.
There are a lot of people kissing a– in that LinkedIn post.
That's one cryptic azz post bruh!
