Most of the people I see left are either old timers waiting it out for retirement who remember when WF used to be a decent place to live and hate it here or people who would desperately like to leave but can’t find a job and hate it here.
Based on who I’m seeing hired I don’t think Wf is a exactly destination for top talent and most of the people leaving are the ones with better options so you’re only left with the ones hating their job. Sounds like a great culture right?
Wells was never a top-talent destination given its sub-par earnings potential. Schart has added a "sub-par a--holes from NY" filter to the talent sourcing pool, leading to people like his C-suite and their Mgt committees, etc.
An old timer in tech here. Yeah the place used to be a good place to work. Yeah it is not a good place to be today. It is only getting worse. I have two and a half years until I can afford to retire. That keeps me going. Not sure how 20 or 30 or 40 somethings stand it. The top talent is gone and they aren't coming back because they will work themselves to death but they will not put up with this bullsh-t.
I'm one of those Old Timers who hung around waiting for a package instead of retiring. It was a good strategy. They paid me a severance to go away. Cha-CHING!!
Confirmed. I'm in the desperately trying to leave camp. Haven't found anything yet, but that could be b/c working in this terrible high-pressure culture doesn't give me much time to look elsewhere.
@dm millions of ghost jobs maybe. LinkedIn just got in trouble for posting tons of ghost jobs on their site. There are people who were laid off who applied for 3-5 jobs each day and it took them 6 months to find an equivalent job.
@b4
Old Timers, yeah.
Wen I hear that I think of some old dude with no teeth, kinda like Festus from G-nsmoke, or Walter Brennen in whatever he was in at the time.
But, I don't think the OP will understand any of this without looking it up.
@OP "...you’re only left with the ones hating their job." And the incompetent a-s-kissers who can't actually do anything but obey, obey, obey.
Yeah, let's blame THAT on the worsening of the employee pool.
Old Timers ? Isn't that politically incorrect ? What is this, a Country Time Lemonade commercial ? How many more question can I ask in my response ?
The next round of layoffs really need to slice deep at the MD level higher level. Too much nonsense from the should-be-retired.
So which one are you?
