Recovering

I moved on last month and difference in my attitude and approach to work is so starkly different, I wanted to come back here and encourage you all to make the move to one of literally THOUSANDS of companies desperate for people after this great resignation movement.

The place I went to is a far more focused culture. Not perfect, but also mot distracted with hot button nonsense issues and projects. It is also more centrist and doesnt lend credence to whatever the administration is pushing for the day.

Vaccines are optional with the discussion focused on personal responsibility and options. The approach is working with people choosing how and when to come back to non hotel facilities.

It is possible to improve your life and be part of something good. Leave this behind and let peace be the order of the day, not conflict with people who enjoy chaos more than lifting people up.

It will be a 5 to 10 year excercise in self discovery and leader churn before you hit bottom.

Choose not to be part of a slow crash.

As inconvenient as it was being displaced, it was the best thing that could have happened. I have a much better position, better pay, benefits and culture. Wells can stick it!

The OP is right. I left two weeks ago and my mood and outlook is already better. I still have anger and PTSD from years of the Shi! Show though and I need to recover. WF nearly drained my soul and ruined me. I am trying not to carry that to my new job and wake up everyday grateful for a fresh start. The politics, the corporate bs, the hypocrisy of WF was eating me alive and I'm so glad the good lord granted me mercy and the opportunity to get away from this place! I still come here about once a week to see what is going on in the circus and giggle.

Attitude is a choice. Sounds like you chose to be a cr a p p y employee when you were here at wells.

I left WF, the new place is better.

Vaccinations are required and RTO is a maybe-someday, but the job is better.

You can post your resume on line and block WF from seeing it, just be sure you understand the settings on the jobsites.

Not that Wells would care unless your an exec.

I am just passively applying for jobs in the BI space recently with financial firms and other industries and getting a lot more interview requests and have a couple final interviews in the next couple weeks. definitely a lot of opportunities out there especially with the right set of skills

Thank you OP.

I took another job as well (at a highly profitable re-insurance company), and feel like 100 pounds have been lifted off my shoulders. This new company is somehow naturally diverse without it being shoved down employees’ throats. There are actually more women in senior roles than men.

The atmosphere here is more like the company I worked at before it was acquired by Wells Fargo. It is a team atmosphere with everyone working together, and senior leaders not pushing the hierarchy in every meeting. I love it and it feels good to enjoy work again.

I still have many friends at Wells. I can hear the stress in their voices when we talk. They are used to it, and they don’t even recognize the unhappiness in themselves. Sadly, it’s their new normal.

There is a whole world out there outside of Wells Fargo. There are still companies who treat their employees terribly, but there are plenty of corporations who want to do it right. Life is short and I wish I did not stay as long as I did. But once you break free - you’ll see it for what it is.

Thanks for looking back at us poor saps and providing your sincerest well wishes
