Garden leave- who pays?

If you’re a CIB employee at a certain title or above, you’re supposed to give 60 days notice before quitting. Does Wells actually pay such employees for a garden leave for those 60 days? If you choose to go to a competitor with less than 60 days... — read more 

Wells Fargo never seems to learn from past mistakes

I was recently laid off from Wells and like many others have kept in touch with my colleagues. The workload and expectations before I was cut was absurd. Then they cut about 20% more of the team and more planned next month. It’s now reached a point... — read more 

RCSA

Compenstion packages-no two are the same

In VA-some employees were told they would get their packages in October 2024 but paused it due to 'updating' the compensation package. So, the others that were pushed out before them were lucky enough to have gotten a better package. I guess based on... — read more 

Another job while on notice period?

I was reading an article on teamwork that says "if you begin another job outside of wf your employment with wf ends and you will not be eligible for severance pay and benefits". My question is, how will they know if you secure another job? Has anyone... — read more 

Mostly old dudes

My group has now gone through its 4th layoff in 4 years, about a third of our group. All but a handful have been old dudes over 50, all races. I thought we were instructed not to age discriminate?

Today I won the layoff lottery!

I can’t say it was a surprise. My manager knew for months and did his best to keep me informed so I could get my ducks in a row. His manager also did his best to try and get us more time but that rang on deaf ears further up the chain. When those... — read more
