Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Opened a case and it worked out very well financially for me. living in my truth and integrity was my goal. The “ don’t go to hr theme” did not deter me at all. Would do it again if needed. I’m still here and highly doubt I will get a lay off.

The main take away I had from your post is that you went on intermittent medical leave.

I would encourage you to hand write each and every coworker a letter, notarized, apologizing to them for making their lives stressful.

Next, I would take your direct manager out to lunch and during the lunch let him know that you realize nothing you could ever say or do can make things better, but that you are sorry for the he-l you put him and his family through.

You do all that, and karma may get off your back going forward.

Lawyer up instead. HR is worthless. This place is used to paying out lawsuit $$$$$$

I had opened a case with Ethics because my manager had singled me out as a trouble-maker and she was making it difficult to perform my job role. Yes, had I asked her what EXACTLY my performance was being rated on, and she could not tell me, just kept re-reading the vague nonsense that was written down as if I couldn't read. Her entire team witnessed me being targeted by the manager for many months.

I later went on intermittent medical leave. I had to be away from work for x-many hours per day like twice a week, which was a well-documented and thorough process.

Next thing I know, I've been laid off. Manager said it had nothing to do with my performance, and nothing to do with the fact that she and I had a contentious relationship. Evidentially, my position was being eliminated. The End.

Except she was magically able to bring over someone from her former team at the same time I was sent packing, which of course doesn't make any sense.

Make no mistake: HR is not your friend.

We had a woman file a complaint against a manager in our department. She was a trouble-maker, but she also had a valid complaint against her manager. Even though Wells claims the process is anonymous, our whole department knew about it. The third-party who handles these complaints is somehow more incompetent than Wells.

End result: Wells determined the manager was “innocent”. She kept her job, but was shunned by everyone afterwards. Manager avoided speaking to her or in front of her. There were several layoffs in our area but never her. She eventually quit.

If you have a valid complaint, just know what you’re getting in to before moving forward.
Good luck.

Yes it does. As a mgr, I am terrified of employees that are capable of filing ethics cases/legal cases. I know that I have to walk on eggshells around them and watch everything I say. Not someone I want to mess with.

Opening an ethics case does not shield you from a mass layoff.

You need a lawyer, not HR, if you have a case. A letter does a lot. All while looking for another job.

Do not call. You will open yourself up to be fired. Keep quiet. This place does not care

"unbearable" is exactly what Hudson Yards is going for.

If you're opening HR cases you're probably a pain in your manager's bu-t so naturally she'd pick you to displace.

rule #1 don't ever call HR--they only protect the bank not employees
rule #2 see rule #1

You could always, you know, just find another job

Do what’s right and the rest will work its way out.
