Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

The reason why we have D&I training piled on us, and are forced to listen to leadership "confessionals"

Our leadership effs up big time once again and we all pay the price.

Good on qualified people getting hired. Just wish Wells would have fixed this before they started making layoff plans again. How many others will pay the price though?

WF could have taken the lead with how it administered PPP money. That would make a true difference in my opinion.

D&I is complete b—s— meant to con people that hate capitalism into working for one of the most egregious corporatist outfits in the country

They aren't posting positions in CA anymore. They are getting rid of women and POC and hiring in NY or CLT. How are they to maintain the D&I numbers without the most diverse state in US?

We have D&I "forced" on us because some people clearly need it.

So this is all basically in person hiring. All of these jobs you go in for interviews I think. I say this because as a hiring manager now my hiring is completely "blind". unless the person works for WF and has a photo I have no clue if the candidate is any color / gender /preference/ etc.

I find that process the fairest and will say my team is quite diverse not because some one told me to do it - but because I hired the best candidate. What is funny is that my biggest problem was when they pushed us to hire in MN and IA my diversity pool dropped as well as the knowledge base.

For my part of the bank CA, AZ, NC and NY had the talent - and also the diverse population as well. So a lot of times WF shoots themselves in the foot.

I haven’t had to take any Diversity training, just a lot of risk training. This isn’t a lot of money, it’s .01% of a typical quarterly profit. It’s not going to drive one single decision made at the bank.

The D&I chatter is solely about recent events with protests and the related policing incidents.
