Whole thing is a good read - they literally had to restructure the company to comply with regulators demands to fix the bank.

Very interesting.

  1. 13 Human Resources

The Company’s Human Resources team maintains a comprehensive employee retention strategy to retain key employees during a period of financial stress. The Human Resources team designed the strategy to identify key employees necessary to support the Preferred Resolution Strategy and Recovery Plans, to maximize the number of employees retained, and to deploy retention packages and payments. We regularly
review and update the list of key employees and retention packages so information remains current should financial stress occur.

As a part of our resolution preparedness, we recently conducted a successful simulation of our employee retention strategy. The purpose of the simulation was to assess the feasibility of executing our employee retention strategy within the prescribed timeframe should the Company experience a severe financial stress
event. The simulation involved all lines of businesses and demonstrated our ability to conduct the entire process, with all necessary stakeholders, on time or ahead of schedule.

This document also outlines a Chapter 11 Resolution Plan. Evidently, Wells Fargo fails a US bankruptcy test for the second time in 2016, https://www.bbc.com/news/business-38309520 And the resolution plan includes the convoluted business structure. That HR clause is likely room to pay people to stay quiet.

No OP, this was not a demand for restructuring.

what you are quoting from is the "living will" that all Systemically Important Financial Institutions (SIFIs) must have documented and the regulators review and either accept or send back for corrections.

The clause you are quoting from has to do with a function called "key roles". Managers at a certain level (I think it goes down to OC+1 or OC+2) are asked to identify key roles in the event of a distress event. this could be anything from a systemic liquidity crisis to the actual dissolution of the company.

Breaking news: YOUR role ain't 'key'. Maybe if you're a former Chase exec. Maybe, the rest of us are SOL.

Are you under "financial stress" if you're getting billions of dollars of profit every quarter? No, you're not.

While this will likely pi-s a few off, and is true for me also......if you were one of those considered to be eligible for such compensation, you would not be here.

@qkb+1d9quTDK you're close. This is WF after all; what they state they will do and what actually happens are opposites of the same coin. No other remediation efforts that the Bank said they would do have been done. Expecting this one to be different is silly.

Pretty sure that is the "Living Will". If so, there no names attached to the positions as it's not meant to be about people, it's meant to be about key roles needed to unwind operations If the company were to be dissolved. There is a very small percentage of roles that fall into this description.

That would explain a recent weird adjustment.

Every employee is the most important and hardest working one in the bank. Don’t believe me, just ask any of them.

If chainsaw can make over $20,000,000 per year so can you.
