Yikes. Prime layoff candidates in this thread.
Man, we hire some absolute mo--ns
This can’t be real life…
Not just OP, but some of the ridiculous newb comments. Holy f*ck, we’re hiring id--ts.
Hey man, no need to announce how d-mb you are thinking this is about Covid
I don’t go to an office and don’t need notifications about freaking Covid. I still won’t respond to messages after business hours, especially since Wells isn’t paying for my phone.
You'll be less thankfull when you are sent packing. Compliance won't save you. Nothing will, other than living in I&P.
They schedule these and then realize by years end they have to hurry up and conduct a BCS test…. And voila !!!
@uns First, no one cares but, second, they send BCP after hours as this is most likely when they would send a message in a real world scenario. Good examples are the office closed because of inclement weather, covid, and a fire once. Each of these occasions happened late at night or very early morning, like 5 am. Way to put your foot down. You’re in control of your work/life balance, too. Blame yourself a tad.
WTF you talking about? You mean the emergency notification test? That's not spam. JFC.
That'll show them tough guy
Wells Fargo was hacked by wacky Wachovia.
is a d-mb company hiring d-mbos?
I will no longer respond to tests after business hours, especially if it’s on my own phone. I will block them next time they bother me for a test after hours next time.
Still too many dummies at this company it seems.
I’m assuming you are new.
It is legit. They do this every year around this time. They will send an SMS, a work email, and an automated phone call.
I got a phone call. I thought might be N. Cal tsunami warning carryover. though only in the world of Thundarr the Barbarian would one hit me where I am.
URL in the SMS looks phishy as heck. However, it looks like it is Everbridge tho. Still won't click on that..
You can’t be serious? They do this a couple times a year. BCP protocol testing. Why they want your cell info on file.
Yup same # as me. I wonder if it was related to the United Healthcare hack or something new...
I got one too from 89361
