So let me get this straight: we are going to be forced back into our offices to collaborate, but now we need to take a course about how going to lunch with coworkers from time to time could create risk.
Just tell me how to feel Charlie!

It is a weird last minute addition to the required training. There must have been something that happened which required this sort of nonsense. The irony here is the Charlie hiring Dimon's SIL might not be an issue, just BAU good 'ole boys club stuff.
I mean come on, we've seen external hire after external hire of people who worked together at Chase or BofA.
In some ways I stopped giving a sh*t. My money is many of these people being gone in a few years.
Is this because of what happened to KLieber?
Does anyone know if we're expected to report known or suspected relationships, and what is the proper channel?
Wells is entrenched with this.....what is grossly unfortunate is it is impossible to prove...the friendships, the pets, the protected ones. You become the target when you raise your hand to point out the problem or the hypocrisy. HR is merely covering their bases.....If I had to guess, in the background a legal matter has recently been settled out of court as a result of exactly this topic. HR is now pushing the training to prevent a repeat.
Only reason we're having to take this trash training is because somebody higher up got into trouble.
So does this mean OC members will stop going on vacations with their bosses and peers? Oh wait no? Or how about all the side pieces going on? Or are they just relying on people to report it?
You know what won't get reported? Affairs.
Next up, report what you had for lunch. Our health insurance plans need adjusting.
We are all part of a big sick social behavior experiment. Here are the conditions: make employees take a training about family/close personal relationships and conflict of interest. It is well-known that their CEO clearly has a conflict of interest personal relationship. The CEO has hired the son-in-law of his company’s major competitor. As part of their training, make employees document that they will report this kind of conflict of interest to their manager or the Ethics line. These employees also work for a company that has been known to fire employees who call the company Ethics line. How will people behave in this situation??
Fun times for us.
so if i do the nasty in the wellness room as a one time stand, is that a personal relationship?
Pedantic, pointless and stupid f-*-c-k-i-n-g nonsense. Only WF can create such garbage policies to "wells-splain" and lecture about conflict of interest .
That's it! I am unpersonal relationship disclosing you!
How romantic. Couples can now decide when to update their personal relationship disclosure together. Any advice how to ask her to take this big important step?
I just completed the training it makes me wonder if Charlie Scharf had to disclose that he hired his close personal friend Jamie Dimon’s son-in-law at a very high salary at the bank……….
Another meaningless CYA training from the execs. The clear message is and always has been, the Wells Worker Bee is the crook.
What about those that sleep with co-workers?
So if i declare that me and my manager are close friends, who hang out on weekends and go out to lunch frequently, I might get a new manager? Hmmmmmm…
@okd OOps... I meant "isn't"
@okd The training is designed to actually "fix the problem". It is merely there so the C-Suite can point to it and say "See, we are fixing the problem", while they continue their corruption.
The problem with the training is that nepotism can still exist. These managers that have their little pets and close friends working for them for the last 20-30 years isn't considered a close, personal relationship according to the training. These managers, and there are many of them, only survive, because they have all of their "friends" covering for them and/or doing their work for them. The training does not fix that BIG problem.
Did you even take the training? If so, you didn’t understand a thing. The training clearly said that lunch, dinner, etc. is NOT a personal relationship…
I wonder if Charlie disclosed all his relationships with those he has hired the past couple of years in the C-suite.
it isn't about you and your best friend at work going to lunch, it is about perceived and actual conflicts of interest.
Years ago a manager was sleeping with one of his directs. He was promoted and took her with him.
Hmmmmm what is this being pushed so hard all of a sudden? Lieber?
And be sure to invite everyone or you may be guilty of discrimination
