Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Heard about this on 2 teams I work with. Dangerous game WF is playing. Better tell your mgrs to wise up or WF will be in the news AGAIN.

This company never learns until it's too late.

Tell them not to quit and tell them to continue to WFH. They'll get several warnings - before being fired (assuming WF is actually going to fire someone for this.) At each warning, they can re-iterate why they can't RTO. They can drag this out a long time and in that time maybe something will change. If nothing changes and they are fired, they'll have a stronger case than if they quit.

I've no doubt this is going on -- along w/discrimination based on age, location, etc. It's rampant. I hope they nail WF in court.

Oh, great. Here comes the next scandal! We knew it was just a matter of time.

Things that didn’t happen

If these people are your friends, tell them to never ever quit. Force the company to fire you, which will lay the ground work for a monster lawsuit. They will retire rich.

Wells cares about no one or nothing. Get a clue. A disabled person is a huge liab I’llity to them

They fire people after they come from short term disability. I’ve seen it happen more than once.

They make it seem like it’s a performance issue. Yes, I’ve said this in a previous thread.

wow that is terrible! they are sure pushing for a lawsuit... unless those remote people are documented as failing majorly in their jobs, that seems super suspect

you may not know the whole story. WFH doesn't have to be the accomodations. did they WFH prior to COVID? id argue if lob can prove the they need to be in office and certain accomodations were offered then the ball is in their court.

because of the initial influx of requests WFH was the default accomodations but now they are looking at things a little more closely and will adjust accordingly

Happening to one of my partners rn. Wells better pay attention and tighten up their treatment of vulnerable population. Not a good idea to mess w/ADA. All it takes is one to expose what's really going on. Risk to brand and leadership reputations.

Cool story bro

They don’t care. I almost wonder if they are having us self identify so they know who to target!

File with the EEOC. I agree with starting a written record through government agencies.

Why is this not surprising?
Go directly to áttórney.

Not a good look, WF. Why aren't you doing something to protect these people? Or is any "attrition", however unnatural and cruel, the point?

Terrible. I hope they don’t quit. Force them to terminate or lay off.

Not a positive narrative for those LoB leaders being specifically named on the termination of an employee with a disability, especially if HR did their due diligence confirming it. The senior leaders can change their mind on the accommodation, but —-

This action can also eventually tarnish the leaders’ professional reputation and follow them when they leave WF, especially if the employee needs to explain to the state when filing for unemployment benefits. Be factual. Drop names, dates/time, and specifics. It’s a written record of it. If the leader does it again, this documentation will help establish a pattern for others. It will catch up to them.
