Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Charlie fails everyone

Charlie may be considered a success in certain circles where money and status are the only things that matter, but he is a poor excuse for a leader, a man and a human being.

I’m fortunate to be married to a man who doesn’t have a mindset which justifies harming others to get ahead. He doesn’t have to cheat, lie, deflect, hide, and step on people to get ahead. He has the skills and emotional intelligence to do well financially on his talent alone. He is responsible, kind, trustworthy, generous, has integrity and is honest to a fault - all the things that Charlie is not.

My father and uncle selflessly put their lives on the line in 2 wars to support their country and make sure their families and friends could live in a free country for decades to come. Charlie would be considered a traitor and a weasel in their eyes.

My grandfather started his own business, worked long hours and built something good that still provides high- quality services for a fair price 100 years later. He raised a good family, and shared what he had with those less fortunate, quietly setting the example for what an honorable and good man should be.

I see the reasons for the ongoing failures of Wells Fargo very clearly: amoral selfish leaders at the top. You can only get away with swindling, lying, robbing Peter to pay Paul, and exploiting literally everyone who crosses your path for so long - eventually a weak foundation will cause the entire building to fall.

God, I love reading this board. This company has a lot of witty people. I wish you were all in my office. Even when I disagree I laugh like he-l.

...no I think he's laughing stock in those circles too.

Charlie doesn't know he is failing, and he doesn't care either as long as he gets paid. He is not the Chainsaw Charlie, he is the Narcissist Charlie.

Let Charlie know he is failing. Show your face and speak up. Don’t act big here and be a coward at work.

God you’re more hopeless than I thought.
Go be a decent human being, put some good out in to the world to make up for how you acted today; show integrity with how you carry yourself in all facets of your life;
and maybe your family will have good things to say about you some day.

@xoh+1oMwQsr5 lol, no, that's not how this works. OP originally made claims and needs to back them up. Though I can see how you work here with your rhetorical and logic capabilities.

For example, ignoring the cringeworthy purple prose: "He is responsible, kind, trustworthy, generous, has integrity and is honest to a fault - all the things that Charlie is not." What examples does she have that Charlie isn't kind? or responsible? Or even dishonest?

It's getting to the point that I'm really doubting the sincerity of OP's post. It's got to be satirizing the bloviating boomer who posts here.

@fhg+1oMwQsr5

I suspect you would not be satisfied with anything the OP says. I understand what she is saying perfectly. Most of us don’t need to have it spelled out for us because we see what is happening in the bank.

The correct response would be - instead of complaining- to post all the ways in which you see Charlie behaving in a way opposing what the OP has written. So that would mean you should post about Charlie not harming others, Charlie not cheating, lying, deflecting, hiding and stepping on people to get ahead, Charlie not swindling, robbing Peter to pay Paul, and exploiting literally everyone who crosses his path.

And then you can post about all the ways Charlie is responsible, kind, trustworthy, generous, has integrity and is honest to a fault, supports his country, built his own business, has morals and is not selfish.

Go ahead and post why you think Charlie is “not failing everyone”. Even a blind pig can find an acorn every once in a while.

@pnj+1oMwQsr5 But yet again, you didn't explain why Charlie isn't those things. You just went on and on about how great all these guys are and then popped an "unlike Charlie!" at the end. Do you really not understand why people can see through this?

The replies to this post are, for the most part, disturbing.

I was on Nextdoor app the other day and people were coming hard after some poor man who posted about someone stealing his dog out of his yard. He literally has it on film on his Ring camera and people accused him of faking it, lying, feeling sorry for himself, stop whining and just go get another dog, nobody cares, shouldn’t have let his dog out in his own fenced yard…,

Disgusting.

Why not post here? This is an open forum about a company who is failing their employees. She can post whatever she wants and if you don’t want to read it, don’t read it.

I skip over posts that hold no interest to me all the time.

" It must have been one he-l of a post, though, if he or she is still thinking about it."

lmao yeah it was definitely the same OP then.

"So no - I’m not ashamed of anything I’ve said." Patting themselves on the back yet again in response to a comment nobody made. Yup, NPD to a T.

OP here

Wow. Just want to admit that I AM obsessed about what a terrible job Charlie is doing and how he is dragging the company down along with it’s employees, many of whom are lifelong friends. I DID use the wonderful men in my family as an example to explain where my opinions about good men come from. Many writers use a reference point to explain their viewpoint. And I DO think this company needs a strong leader with integrity and ethics and Charlie is NOT the guy. Having said that - I have no faith that out BOD would replace him with anything better if they get rid of him.

So no - I’m not ashamed of anything I’ve said. I WOULD, however, be ashamed if I had posted some of the comments on this thread.

Speaking of obsessions : I have NO idea what post @zyv is referring to regarding FYI- OP is clearly the one who wrote that other awful thread weirdly humblebragging about how great his family is in comparison to Charlie. I don’t think that was me ?!? It must have been one he-l of a post, though, if he or she is still thinking about it. I’m pretty sure that I have not written about my family before but if you want to repost a copy -I would be more than happy to respond properly.

"...but he is a poor excuse for a leader, a man and a human being." How do the paragraphs that follow this, talking about how great your family members are, remotely support your thesis that Charlie isn't these things?

Call me a troll and downvote this all you want, but this whole post is just transparent egotripping. There aren't even points to refute here. If OP wants to "elevate the conversation" they should start by presenting an argument, not just boasts about themselves and their family used to disparage Charlie's character by an unsupported comparison.

Reposting this reply from OP's other thread, which I think needs to be heard here:

FYI- OP is clearly the one who wrote that other awful thread weirdly humblebragging about how great his family is in comparison to Charlie.

They suffer from Narcissistic Personality Disorder and as such tend to wildly overreact if any of their grandiose claims are questioned. While it may be fun to poke fun at them and their constant self-aggrandizement, they are unwell and suffering from a severe mental health issue. Even if OP is incapable of empathy, please be the bigger person and show him some by not indulging his fantasies.

Troll pro- tip: Your frantic multiple posts and immature- sounding attempts to intimidate her are unintentionally proving her point. You should learn the fine art of knowing when to STFU.

I’m certain that Charlie does want or need obvious fools defending him.

Sounds like a great marriage if you're writing paragraphs and paragraphs about another man in the middle of the day. Give yourself a few more upvotes just to show how much integrity you possess 😂

Boomer post of the day award.

He's just another empty suit, who cares. You don't have to write paragraphs narcissistically patting yourself and your family on the back in some bizarre attack on his character. I'm sure your deceased veteran family members are so glad they have you putting words in their mouths so you can get misguided little barbs in at your boss who doesn't even know you exist.
