It's beyond cliche at this point of being cringy every time I hear it, and that's like 15 times a day now.

It sounds so posh.
I wish people would stop calling me "insane" or "paranoid" just because I perceive a commonly used word for a business as evidence of a cabal conspiring to oppress and belittle me.
Deranged is also quickly approaching overuse. We all know the one guy who comes in and calls people deranged or insane. Clearly a very intelligent person, this one.
Whats funny is I've worked here for 20yrs+ and I've never heard that term used anywhere in this company before this site. I've still never heard a single person use it in the company aside from here.
lmao what a deranged reaction to one word
I believe the underlying issue is when the term 'firm' is applied to WFC, it sounds like putting lipstick on a pig and we all know it. It creates a little dissonance.
It's just another layer of unnecessary verbal artifice.
You all sound like mindless sheep following the herd off a cliff. Come up with some original communication instead of being a mindless robot.
Wells Fargo is referred to as a firm because it is a firm. Not that difficult to understand. This entire post makes zero sense.
Getting a persecution complex from one word is some woke "white supremacy" around every corner shizz
No matter how 'paranoid' you are about Hudson Yards 'leadership', it's not enough to reflect reality.
…and of course it’s the paranoid nutcase reading way too much into something so banal.
If you get your pa-ties in such a twist about a single word, the evil coastal elites are right to look down on you.
It is also most commonly used at Chase; those losers or transplants that have found a way to make their way here are desperately trying to distinguish themselves from the legacy riff raff. Its like Shart is trying to live out his own fantasy of Huxley's Brave New World. He fancies himself and his OC as the Alpha+ in the caste system labeling all the rest of us as mindless Epsilons. Deep down he thinks that he'll someday be thought of as the second coming of J. Dimon when he's really more of a corrupt politician or sh!t st@!n in the industry
Swing/miss. I'm from a liberal mecca, and I think The Firm is re--rded also. I'm not offended by the phrase. It is common in the industry. But I also know that the corporate trash using it in this case are nothing but a pack of liars that are he-l bent on eliminating the domestic workforce. They want me gone, and you too. F them.
You all need to drop it. This is low hanging fruit and it’s time for heavy lifting.
Getting on a high horse about such a petty thing, while actually revealing how backwards you actually are, is classic WF.
Ohhh ok it's an insecure flyover people thing. Thanks for clearing that up.
The "hill to die on" metaphor is getting pretty stale and boring too. People think the AI slop coming out of Chat-GPT is bad when we have enough human robots plaguing business communication with nonsense as it is.
Chuck fancies himself a Gordon Gecko.
Any time I hear it, I start to wonder to myself if the person is an a$$ kisser, NYC clown, or a corporate hack. It's one of more of them. In a sense it's humorous that they think it makes them sound sophisticated.
I guess you worked in a cave then.
It’s Wall Street BS. Never was a term until we moved to New York. Everytime someone uses it I FIRM-ly want to put my foot up their a—.
100% I hate that term!
Weird hill to die on
? It's a very normal term in this industry.
Because it's another term for company, business, etc.
Not that difficult.
