Managers, what's your travel budget like?

Last year Commercial Banking spent $1 million dollars to bring all the interns to San Francisco and then laid off several hundred employees two weeks later.
250 out of the 1200 are tech interns.

You are all overpaid, lazy and greedy. We are all overpaid, lazy and greedy. We are one big nasty family. 🤣😂🤣😂
It's so refreshing to see us all come together on this board in a "One WF" fashion and help each other get through these hard times. Humanity at its best. /s
Every few posts people will call the rest of us lazy, d-mb, overpaid, agreeing that people should be laid off, etc. Good grief, no wonder this company (and country) is in the toilet.
@1jzt+1sT99mgm, you are very short-sighted. I am not talking about the travel costs. Wells Fargo aggressively recruits young interns to the company so that they can hire them later for a permanent position and replace overpaid lazy employees like yourself.
Travel basically costs the same no matter your salary
I have seen a big group of interns touring the office. Looked like they were being guided by HR folks and hiring managers. But what I have noticed is that most of those interns were Indians. I think they are the children of Indian immigrants who live in the US because they spoke good English. But from what I saw, more than 50% of those interns were Indians, probably all working for IT jobs. They looked very happy coming to Wells Fargo though.
Interns are cheap compared seasoned professionals.
Ugg! Big 4 consulting BS tactics. A practice these firms engaged in years ago to perpetuate a culture that is all smoke and mirrors. Upon their return these "culture carriers" will not have a clue about the horse glue factory 😉 right under their nose.
Wow. My director can’t even take his team to lunch for a team building exercise when he’s in town. This is why I do as little work as possible for this company.
Oh yeah! One of my colleagues went to Orlando to talk to these interns.
No company wastes money like wf
There was a WIM Growth Summit last week in Orlando.
However, this week looks like they did have the interns in Orlando. I see WIM had about 30 of them. What a crock of sh-t.
WFA brought hundreds of employees to Orlando a week or two ago, friend was able to go. They all got into Universal for like four hours for free, along with dinners, etc. 100 percent true. Not sure about interns, though.
Over 1,100 interns actually. For people doubting. Go to LinkedIn search Wells Fargo interns or Orlando. Check out the latest posts. My feed is full of them. That large ballroom was packed.
That was my same reaction. I'm like, I have employees I've never met in person in YEARS. And yet spending money on young folks that will mostly never come back to work at WF at the end of the summer is a good use of funds?
Where's the proof? What group or team?
Wow.
WF hasn't bought me a meal in 6 years.
Also - no perks, no swag, no nothing.
Don't even get released early on the Fridays of holiday weekends anymore.
Cheapest company I ever worked for.
WTF? What interns? Orlando isn't even a go forward location.
