Employee Global Survey is not confidential!
Just found out the Employee Global survey we took in August is not confidential as they indicated on the initial survey email. Managers will have access to any employee comments left in the survey. They will not have names associated to them, but if... — read more
Job description changed
My group manages customers in a hub. We are not a customer facing group. Now we must be customer facing inside branches. This is not what we signed up to do. Any other hub affected?
CIB Layoffs?
Does anyone have any info on CIB/CMS layoffs? I can’t seem to get any info on it and well like everyone else, I’m also worried. You never know with wells I guess.
Why do people call it “the firm”
Feels very pretentious like our titles
Question on 401k and annual bonus
Hi I know that the 401k limit was raised to $23k in 2024. I have my deductions set to 10% for the biweekly paychecks (even though they are matching only 6% of it). I see the announcements that typically come about last day to adjust is so and so... — read more

Location strategy to be "firmed up" by April '24
Why am I having trouble believing this? I guess technically, the communication doesn't say that layoffs will end by April, but the grand layoff plan should be finalized by then. Unless the following line means something else: *We expect location... — read more
Relocation
I took a job in the hub. I don’t like in person with customer. Job recently changed to within branch. Any others dealing with this?

Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN)
If the layoffs are slated to be greater than 50 employees at a single location and employers are required to provide 60 days notice, then why are there no WARN notices filed? If I search nationally then I can see one pending for SC, but nothing for... — read more
Lead BECS
Anyone ever feel BECs especially at the Lead to Senior Lead level have an air of arrogance? Why is that?
Town Hall at our site 1/9
A few teams at our contact center site (mostly operations, tech, workforce management) got an invite just yesterday to a town hall with senior leadership at our site. We've never received such short notice for a town hall before. Usually it's a... — read more
Layoffs to resume in February
Usually the Tuesday after payday. However, I'm in HR and was let go this morning. While the decision was made before the holidays, they hung on to me to pick up the work load of all the folks on PTO, but hey at least they didn't make me work a full... — read more

How should I brand myself
I hate my business execution title. Should I brand myself differently when applying so I can leave before getting hit with layoff
Start working on your Rally now
In case of layoff you’ll have a few hundred extra dollars in your HSA. Get every penny you can from this company.
Billings Site
Does anyone have any intel on when the Billings site will be shut down? I am trying to decide if it is worth sticking around for severance.

Anyone else have “Donation Boxes” appear in their office?
Since mid December, our office has had 4 giant boxes sitting in the hallway with a “Donations” label on them. There are also about 40 plastic bins (the type you’d store Christmas ornaments in) stacked next to them. They have all been completely empty... — read more
Enough is enough
I work with so many passive aggressive and petty people. I would always work fast and respond quickly but you all continued to push. There is no pleasing you. I am done with trying to be cooperative. You have done your fair share of sloppy work... — read more
Wow
Looks like we're going to make it for at least a week in 2024 with no layoffs. Color me shocked.
If you’ve made it thus far and are bonus eligible, is it pretty much guaranteed so long as you’re performing?
Chances of a last wave before bonus and does the 60 day notice maintain your eligibility?
I just wanted a job...
I just wanted a job... Not all the drama, back stabbing, chaos, non leader "Leaders" , inexperienced & abusive middle managers, constant back story of layoffs, outsourcing, etc.
Inconsistently meets requirement
So do managers have to come up with a minimum percentage or quota of inconsistently meets, even if no one on their team is a low performer?

There's no such thing as being safe here
If your job can be done by somebody in a low-cost country, count on your job being sent to a low-cost country sooner or later. It might not happen right away, but it will happen. That's the end goal. We're all considered to be too expensive and... — read more

WF location strategy- not broadly efficient
I understand the need to justify real estate to improve efficiency, and that drives location strategy in some circumstances. Makes sense. This approach feels a lot more like “we are still going to have most of all this real estate but are going to... — read more
All tricks, no treats
A layoff on 10/31 was discussed, but now we know that scope. 700+ of us were downsized/outsourced. Drip drip drip until we're all gone.
The layoffs will continue
The layoffs will continue until the asset cap is lifted because layoffs are the only way for CS to improve the efficiency ratio and thus get bigger bonuses every year. He isn't ethical enough to get the asset cap lifted, so layoffs are his... — read more

401(k) match missing?
Another post mentioned that folks should be able to see their 401(k) match already in their accounts. I was hoping to see it on the 29th, but as of now it is still not visible for me. Is this an issue, or is this the case for others as well and I... — read more
