Is there a requirement that you have to be an a--hole to become a manager at Wells Fargo?

Wells Fargo used to have many good managers (including my previous manager), but they are gone. My wonderful previous manager and her Sr. manager left the company because she got fed up with the toxic executives who are playing dirty politics. Most of the managers today, if not all, are corrupt to the core. Things have definitely changed.
Not all managers are bad, especially low level who work side by side with their teams.
Sorry some of you had bad experiences, as someone else pointed out, if you think all managers are a**holes maybe it’s you.
It is not a stretch to say Wells Fargo managers are criminals. Carrie T is one of them.
COO managers are the worst.
WF managers are nothing but dirty politicians.
@5zlh+1rJiylbg. THIS!!! So true. Thanks for validating my views. They all protect each other & HR protects them, so their behavior never gets scrutinized. Newer people or from the outside looking to get hired, take note.
Yes it is….
The managers at WF are managers in title only. They are really bully facilitators. They run the place on fear, on bullying and not on communication. Now that I have been out of this environment for a while I see how fear-based it was -- at all levels (except perhaps the top).
@1weu+1rJiylbg has it right -- the toxic facilitators are in the same boat as the workers.
All of the good managers have left. One thing I found was that if you are a manager you better not tell your other managers that you are getting certified or joining a management organization. The facilitator don't like if you are a PMP, CSM, CTM, or Six Sigma.
All of the certified managers have left the ship.
I can't wait to see the effects of McKinsey turning loose AI management on this bank.
"Respect Is Earned Not Given". Wells Fargo managers have not earned our respect.
If you argue with Wells Fargo managers or executives, they will use this line: "Do you know who I am?"
Maybe you simply su-k as an employee. Never overlook a “common denominator”
No matter how friendly your managers sound on the surface, you should never believe anything they tell you. They are all double-standard actors / actresses who only care about themselves.
Not just and A-hole, a stupid uneducated A-hole also.
One common trait among the Wells Fargo managers / executives is that they are all dishonest. It makes perfect sense considering this is the bank that created fake customer accounts.
@1ymn+1rJiylbg Like M.W.T
A lot are former project managers from Lowes Corp. Add to that the Charlotte component where they think they are in the "big city" & you have some really insecure, whiney, useless abusive a--------holes.
Technology managers are a-s-kissers.
OP, you probably know less than 1% of the managers at WF. Way to stereotype.
I have a great manager now, but he was hired in from elsewhere as an individual contributor to our group, then told he was going to manage the team. I am pretty open and honest with him about all the BS. He is understanding.
However, prior to him, I've had some nightmare managers that made me hate every day at work.
Managers are given the same treatment as regular employees.
- No hope for growth and advancement
- Personal and team goals that amount to mere checkboxes to please the whims of a torrid upper mgmt
- Zapped from knowing they can do nothing to improve working conditions
- Wondering about layoffs
I agree with the OP, married managers or couples are preferred.
Or bootlicker
Marketing is a dumping ground for people who couldn’t make it at either an advertising agency or one of the high-powered tech firms.
I’ve seen people here who literally have not worked a full week in a decade. And now with WFH - the best thing about them is that they’re almost entirely uninvolved.
of course all mgrs are not the same, and prb plenty are craptastic.
but... "if you think everyone is an a--hole, maybe you're the a--hole instead"
