Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Team Meetings

So in the team meeting when the tech secretary wouldn't let me speak about my own work, I made the decision, I need to be the one playing my hand making my life my own. One thing to remember is your the one carrying a legacy. To just be silenced this way is like saying you are ok being silenced and you will let someone else speak and have a voice instead of you. Saying you will allow them to drown you out, its almost like letting someone else extinguish your flame.

I made a decision, I am not giving the pen of my life to the incompetent Tech Secretary who is stealing my work and pretending its his own. I shut down the tech secretary in front of the whole group and ask him why he is presenting my work like its his? Remember take control of your career, everyone comes from different value systems, so I always use mine only and you should do the same, dont let anyone steal credit for your work. Good Luck Everyone.

Tech Secretary = Talentless Rejects

Oh all along I thought "Tech Secretary" referred to the talentless drones rejecting change requests, in this context you mean our wonderful "Tech Managers"?

I prefer term "Bureaucratic Administrators" for managers in Wells tech.

Uhh, what the heck is a "Tech Secretary"? Sorry, but that does not sound like a particularly essential skill, let alone being support staff for Tech Secretary? This is not in sync with the marching order from WF Technology; ie.. Saul "always be coding" VB whose "vision" is every tech employee is an engineer who can code in any language from legacy cobol to the newest shiny toy/trend/buzzword.

@orx+19l2XRb1, hey Einstein; tech secretaries are not bosses, so which boss was told off? They all will be out in Q1.

And yes, I do feel like Lebron James.

On the upside, there's finally advice on this site for all the folks asking how they can get on the layoff list.

Telling off your boss always feels good... for about 5 minutes. Then uncertainty starts to creep in. You get anxious and seek out kudos and validation from others. I guarantee you, anyone who gave you a high-five after that meeting is saying something different behind your back. Like, "Um yeah, that was BALLSY I guess..."

I have never encountered an employee who stews and lashes out because they are convinced they are smarter than most of their colleagues succeed at WF, or anywhere else. It is not a recipe for success, long term.

"If the bank wants to keep people who have no value or skills, go for it. I'll go to a successful company." Do you think you're LeBron "I'm-taking-my-talents-to-Miami" James? I get the feeling they won't counter if you give notice.

"then that tech secretary would have thought he was in control"

At the risk of stating the obvious, if you report to him, he is in control. Just sayin'

Sounds like they want you to stick around then...

Op her, No worries on repercussions or cuts, if I didnt stand up then and there, then that tech secretary would have thought he was in control, when he have no skills and only a roach in the big scheme of things.

If bank wants to keep people who have no value or skills, go for it. Ill go to a successful company.

Something tells me that if you're "shutting people down" during meetings and generally making a scene, you'll find yourself in a similar situation no matter where you go.

Some honest root cause analysis benefits us all.

Tech Secretaries and Teller Engineering Managers? I would be surprised if other companies had posts like these.

Its fine that you took ownership, but there will be repercussions and you probably already know that.

I hope you can avoid the cuts.
