Charlie’s “strategy” is an obvious fail. Shareholders agree. What’s the point behind all the damage and and chaos he’s leaving in his wake?? Shareholders should pressure our Board of Directors to put him out on the curb.
So Progressive!!! 400,000 SQ FT in NYC = RTO 5 days!!

10/3 layoffs were a LIE

Interesting read that will impact your job
I post this because we all know CS is a J Dimon wannabe clone. Since he’s never had an original thought and AI is moving faster than our lazy government, this is inevitable here at WF. I realize we already use AI-don’t come for me. :) JPMorgan boss... — read more
Delivery during layoff
I supplement income with driving for Uber eats. If laid off, can I still do deliveries during an assumed non working notice period? Just trying to plan for worst case scenario

MMB Layoffs 10/17

SG joke

Glassdoor says 65% of employees approve of our CEO, and they give Wells an overall rating of 3.7 out of 5.
I would have said much lower, but Glassdoor started in 2007, so I’m guessing this figure goes back to include Stumpf (for 9 years pre-scandal), Sloan and Parker. Glassdoor should start with fresh data once a new CEO comes on board.. Or better... — read more
