If given a 60 day non working notice
Can we still do benefit elections in open enrollment? I will have about 6 months on severance and was planning on changing my plan this year. Will I still be able to?
Laid off yesterday and feel better already

Not paid 401k match
It shouldn’t be legal for a company to displace you in November and not have to match 11 months 401k contributions
Mark your calendars

Charlie has raised his head outta his hole!
What??? A Town Hall finally in October?? Not that he will have much to say and will probably “uh” and “ah” through the entire thing! I also doubt the audience in Minneapolis will ask any decent questions- if they even have time. The entire fireside... — read more

Will there be more layoffs today?
I hate it when we find out there were layoffs and there is no official info on it whatsoever. I always stress the most on days after that.
Get rid of hubs
Grouping people together like cattle is not working. This whole hub mentality is the d-mbest decision.
Layoffs
Once you are laid off from this sh&tshow you are gone for good. Wells Fargo does not want to retain you, keep you or help you get another position. I was displaced in May after 25 years with mortgage. I have been applying to jobs and have landed... — read more

schadenfreude
Vague-posting on an anonymous forum is not very brave, yet I need to gloat on a place it can't come back to me. My old boss, who tossed me under the bus when I refused to do something I deemed unethical, took over a huge project that was viewed as... — read more

True story, involving layoffs, from back in the day
Company A, a prominent cut-throat Wall Street firm, acquired Company B. Co A said, in the initial deal, that its intentions were to absorb all 600 of Co B’s employees. Two years later, Co A’s price had fallen by half, so cost-cutting time. Co... — read more

many still wondering where Charlie is. My guess is we won't hear from him until the warning call next month, if we hear from him at all. And while I try not to let him occupy too much space in my head, I do find it extremely curious we have not heard... — read more
I don’t know about you - but I take comfort in knowing that the person running this bank is the only person who said yes to the job.
He talked our Board in to making him the the highest paid banking CEO in 2020, so that means he is an excellent self- promoter. He makes $24.5 million per year while laying off $20 per hour hard-working employees, so that means he doesn’t let... — read more
