How long it will take me to round up my stuff and head towards the door tomorrow if I get the boot. I have very few things to gather where I sit. Same to you HY!
Q for those who want to change job
Are you looking into jobs in other banks or widening the search? I’ve been in WF for almost ten years now, and I’ve had enough banking to last me three lifetimes. I recently started looking for another job, and would like to do something entirely... — read more
FedEx from WF!
FedEx overnight package from WF, arriving tomorrow. Dare I hope?
Internal move - hire externally ?
Someone from my team just moved internally. Does that mean my mgr is able to hire externally (+1) employee or would the higher ups encourage he also replace internally ?
Position, Location, and Salary
Share away, my fellow stagecoach-riding friends, so we can see how underpaid some of us are. Also, corn.
COBRA plus ACA vs. Retiree Health Plan?
Another grey haired laid off team member - err employee. Severance and benefits run out next month. I have 5 years until Medicare. Very happy with AETNA/BC/BS higher use plan. Retiree is United Health Care and I am eligible but have no subsidy. ... — read more
101 uses for "gold" coins and acrylic cubes
I'll start - I utilized mine at my rifle range. FWIW, the acrylic cubes completely disappear when stuck by a 150gr. 30/30. Not a shard to be found.
I am surprised to see you all get paid well.
When they hired me five years ago, they low balled me big time. I didn't have a choice but to take it, as I was unemployed.
RTO and surgery
Is there something in Workday I can mark if recovering from a foot surgery for a week? I can work from home but I can't drive for 7 days post op. My manager is new to WF and doesn't know how to help with rto stuff. I don't want to take PTO since it's... — read more
The pay is not worth it
I've stayed here much longer than I should have because I'm paid well enough that my family can live comfortably, but I think I'm done. My mental health has been deteriorating rapidly as the situation became worse and worse (Wells Fargo was always a... — read more

Aug 20th
I heard Risk will be hit. Is there any truth to this rumor?
What If
What if the cap is not lifted? What if the relocation does not help efficiencies? What if off-shoring does not lift the share price? What if DEI fails to improve Teamwork? What if RTO does not improve efficiencies? What if Charlie is not replaced? Is... — read more
Wf alumni network
I had a Wells Fargo alumni network pop up on my LinkedIn. I searched the web and it seems like a real thing. What in the world is their motivation for this? As far as I can tell they are still forcing people to RTO and still laying off American... — read more
Pay increases
Did anyone see that there was an article of pay increases for 50 % of workers ? What are your thoughts.
When to file?
Apologies if this question has already been addressed, but when is the appropriate time to file for unemployment with the state? Should it be done during the notice period or afterward?
August 20th
Is August 20th really the day all wave 2 relocation decliners are laid off?
Wells Fargo does not give a sh*t about Veterans...
Despite all of the "Veteran" cheering and bullsht, WF does not give a sht about Veterans. All they care about is telling people that they like to hire Veterans. Meanwhile, they do hire them and then they displace them at their disposal, including... — read more
Winston Salem -WEC
I understand that the lease for WEC has been extended to 2028. Does this imply that WS employees will be kept on longer? I am hearing as much. I also notice that the parking lot seems to be getting more and more full.
Personal device texting
Anyone have experience being investigated or disciplined for sending a business related text from a personal device?
Ageism is a real thing
Pay that goes with years of experience and acquired skills is an added bonus making sure you will be eliminated as soon as you reach 50. Fortunately, I counted on this, made some smart investments along the way, made sure I’m almost free of debt... — read more

Laptop Question
I worked in CT. It's going on 90 days since I left and they still haven't send me a box or message to pickup my laptop. At this point I suffer mental trauma everytime I look at it. I have a new remote job at the same rate as inspiration for all... — read more
Manager's False Valor
New tech manager with no domain knowledge is claiming successes from previous manager. Were is this cr@p going to end. Makes me sick to have to listen to this.
How were “core” locations chosen?
Curious if anyone has actual insight into how the core locations were chosen for each LOB, because some of them really don’t make any sense. For WIM, Salt Lake City is a core hub, but we have a very minimal presence there. I don’t think I have ever... — read more
One Wells Fargo
What happened to one Wells Fargo? Or was that not under the new Chase management? They want to say one WF, but yet, we are in different core & speciality markets. Your site is a core site for one LOB & its exiting all other LOB’s.
Oh Winston-Salem what’s going on now?
I heard it might be a rough week 😕
Any Barn updates?
still quite a few people in this building..
Core vs specially location
Can HR flag for going to near by speciality location instead of core /workday location ?
Good Wells Fargo food. 😋 must be a hub.

More Than 20 Makes You a Target
More than 20 tech years of service. Always meets or exceeds. 2 gold coins and many awards. Now my new Indian manager thinks I need to go. Said I sould retire. Total toxicity.
In banking for more than 12 years, ready to leave
Different banks. I’ve seen it all. Banking has been going downhill fast over the recent years as a desirable industry to work in. I know of many cases where college educated people in different banks are paid less than non-college workers in... — read more
Charlie & Friends
Is the current management really doing anything great? Couldn’t anyone come in & lay off everyone & offshore jobs? And cut everything? Saw it all coming back in 2019.
Medical Accommodations
Rumor has it they are re-evaluating all remote medical accommodations. Does anyone have more information?
India titles
Why is it I have a lowly BEC title and people in India have higher rated titles when I have much more experience and are training them? When I am fixing their work. I mean why do I have to explain Boise is not a person but a city? Yet they have... — read more
Yeah
Something fd up when you live paycheck to paycheck after 20+ years at a BANK, never got a good raise after 2008! I think it’s time I get out of this banking industry.

# of Employees
Why is there over 98,000 employees under S.P in operations? Doesn’t seem to be spread out evenly & fairly.
Exec team has severely miscalculated offshoring
11 years of working remotely with 5+ years of being told I'm in a targeted group. Then the scripted call earlier this year saying I may be affected by location strategy in Q3. You'll understand my skepticism, particularly after the last round of cuts... — read more
