Good take on Amazon RTO
https://x.com/johncodezzz/status/1836205682539786345 I’m a former AWS employee: most of the hot takes on Amazon's new strict return-to-office policy are wrong. Anyone who’s been paying attention saw this coming years ago. And ultimately, it comes... — read more
Failure of RCSA program
We just got another slap from the regulator after spending billons of dollars on RCSA (in phase 1, phase 2 and chicken dance we were doing before Phase 1). The program is nowhere close to being wound up and costs are still being incurred at eye... — read more
Praising the gambler
Buying stock is a gamble, why do large corporations pander to the gamblers rather than the folks that actually earn $$ for the investors?
Medical accommodation reviews
I recently had my medical accommodation for a disability that will never improve or change reviewed. My doctor completed the required forms. Hr only approved for a year even though my dr clearly requested I work remotely ongoing. Does anyone... — read more

Email invite from HR
I have an invite to join a teams call with HR next week? All it says is “listening in with so and so” . I’m hoping it’s what I think it is but not sure 🤔. Can anyone elaborate on what this might be ?
Apparently Charlie’s only talent is “cut, cut, cut”. An interesting article on McKinsey & Co.
We’ve talked about it here before but this is a good read about how McKinsey and Co — Wells Fargo’s business consultant — “routinely pushes profits over ethical conduct” and has a hand in su-king the life out of companies, communities and employees... — read more
Stupid of me to stay here for over ten years
I’m trying to look for another job, and having WF on the resume while looking for another banking job is not really a plus. I’ve been trying for months now, and all the offers that came my way were worse than what I have here. I’ve been actually... — read more
Older workers - agreement
did any "older workers" (lol) retain an attorney to review the Agreement & Release prior to signing once you were displaced? it seems pretty straightforward - sign it or you don't get severance - but i see several places where they are encouraging... — read more

RCSA leads to a Layoff
Was on the RCSA facilitation support team for the last 18 months to be told all along how important this work is in lifting the asset cap only to be laid off as the higher up’s receive their bonuses for making the September 30th deadline.

RTO 5 days a week??
Amazon is bringing folks back to the office 5 days a week, starting next January to force people to leave. 🚩🚩🚩 Hope Charlie doesn't start doing the same. 😱
laid off today - missed bonus cutoff
with the 60 day working, does that ki-l changes for bonus
Retirement timing
I HAVE spoken to my HR business rep, who was friendly but for the most part unhelpful. I am pondering retiring between now and end of year. I am an executive dir. in CB and must give 60 days notice. I am fairly sure it will be non-working, but my... — read more
VP Level, job prospects
How long have folks been looking before they land a position? I have a very strong network and have reached out to everyone, but after 7 months nothing has materialized. I am looking at positions in the $160K range

Revoke used PTOs before leave
I plan to leave in a few weeks... Can I revoke these used PTOs before I leave? I used 48 hours PTOs and I'm trying to get more $$$ from this $hit employer :)
14.2 million extra clicks per day.....
The 14.2 million extra mouse clicks per day (4 per document) that now need to occur company-wide in order to label the sensitivity of every single document we open is next level lunacy. The person who masterminded this needs taken out behind the... — read more
Bye bye BISO group…
Bye bye BISO group. Hope you all fair well in the job search especially for those of you who thought it good to work at this place for 30 years..
Meetings being shuffled today
It could be nothing of course, but it is unusual that two meetings I have today (one long standing) were shifted to new times late yesterday. I did not get the magical new, generic meeting invite (yet) but we’ll see what happens today. Feels like my... — read more
Barnhart update
Any update on which department(s) are next to go?
Neighborhood seating
Is the real purpose of neighborhood seating is to make the layoff process more smooth by not having any personal items to pack up after they lay you off?

Lay off notice
Has anyone received a meeting invite the day before they were laid off or is it usually day of spur of the moment type meeting?
Agile but Not Agile
We are supposed to be following the Agile Framework which should be frequent releases and iterations of work. Yet we have a release process that boggs us down and requires 2-3 weeks advance CR!! How is this Agile at all!! Other companies do Agile and... — read more
Paze App FTW
So this is the game-changer? Another way to pay online. Problem too is that you have to be a Wells Fargo customer and no one wants to be that.
Any thoughts on requesting a lot of PTO during holiday season?
Do we allow a 3-week or 4-week PTO in Dec?
Dis placement dates
These are from HR, not department specific. 9/17 10/01 10/29 11/26 12/10 Tuesdays after paydays that are not listed were not utilized due to Tech Freezes and Holidays. Be wary out there my friends.
Parlaying Severance into Retirement?
I've been at Wells longer than I want to admit. I'm of the age and tenure where I get some basic retirement benefits (small pension from years ago). If I am severed, can I take the severance and still claim my retirement benefits?
All sorted out
I thought it was management and the current environment that was making my work life so stressful but after discussing with my management it is now clear that all of Wells problems are my fault and I should just jump off a bridge to correct the... — read more
