Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

The daily posts on this site are a frequent affirmation of my decision to leave Wells

This site is daily and weekly entertainment for me. I don't even work at Wells anymore, thank god. But I occasionally peruse the posts on this site just to get a pulse on the mood there, it's not good!

My experience at Wells was awful for the most part. Though I always got rated meets and exceeds, I couldn't stand so many of the clowns there in high level roles, the never ending obsession with DEI, the hypocrisy of hubs and remote work, being jerked around, the corporate arrogance and overall just lack of respect. There were and still are, execs with large teams who are allowed to work remote while others who are IC with no teams, told to go to an office to work next to people they don't even know who aren't even in their line of business. F off!

I feel bad for many of the people there who try to do good daily and it gets you nowhere. There's ZERO commitment to employees. It's the only company I ever worked at that explicitly said they wanted voluntary attrition and people to quit, who does that? Because a multibillion dollar company is too cheap and chickenshi! to just pay them a severance and let them go with dignity!?? Who that is clinically sane that has any self respect would want to work for leaders like that?!

I listened to a manager try to talk me into doing the wrong thing, when I refused - said manager gave the work to 2 others who were magically laid off within 60 days. Sh*t at wells is next level when management is skewing layoff strategies to align with hub radiuses to justify their actions. Hope the government gets wind of this and goes after them.

Not OP but another ex-employee and for me it’s less looking back and more schadenfreude

Happy people don’t look back on sh$t.
No disrespect to the original commenter. For some people. Maybe it makes them feel better about their decision to leave. Or have been recently laid off and not feel alone. Many number of reasons. It’s not so easy for a number of folks to move on and not look back. He-l. That’s what shrinks and scrips strive to help people do. Lol.

Why do people slow down to watch a car wreck. Same thing here.

OP spot on. You defined the "quiet cutting" which is the current objective of Wells Fargo management. It will get worse with the oncoming recession and an inverted yield curve, the regular ole banking business is a fool's errand. Everyone wants to get out of the banking business. Look at today's Citigroup's reorganization.
All these children saying they are so cool cause they are still in the fool's employ will soon be in the wind.

I haven’t worked there in over 5 years. What a joke it was. Truly an insane asylum.

This about sums it up. Great post. Says a lot about the people clinging on too.

"Who that is clinically sane that has any self respect would want to work for leaders like that?!"

If the troll is actually a high-ranking exec or even employed by one, at WF, it speaks volumes.

That's pretty sad. A normal response would be to move on. Honestly, seems like your departure was involuntarily.
