Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Agree. It'd not performance based but moreso who do they like and more importantly for some - who likes the manager. Sad the way they are playing with lives because of poor management decisions!!!

RVW I agree! As Robert Kennedy once observed, the most rare kind of courage is not what is found on the battlefield but rather moral courage. It is rare indeed

According to the stock price: shareholders are the realists, and they agree.

People (and my bosses) do like me because I’m honest, genuine, hardworking, consistent, empathetic and I stand up for what’s right. I’m not overly confident, but I do have skill sets that bring some value to the table. So I don’t have to rely on cozying up to the bosses as my only defense against being let go. I’m a team player because I tell my managers the truth, not just what they want to hear. I speak up if I think they are putting the company or themselves or our customers at risk. I don’t change my values because the situation has changed.

We wouldn’t be in this mess if we had more moral leaders and less Yes Men and Golden Boys.

I would rather be laid off with my values in tact, than keep a job because I blindly towed the company line.

I would recommend then that you keep your head down, and don't make comments on anything. Managers are probably under pressure to cut heads so don't give them a reason. At this point (sad to say) competency doesn't matter. If they don't like you, you're gone.

100% agree, you are spot on with how I feel.
