Well here we go. Was just on a call with the COO, HR, Legal and others where RTO status was being discussed and it was confirmed, 4 days in office with 1 day remote is going to be mandated, they are just working out the messaging and timing.
Isn’t it ironic….
That Wells Fargo has been described as a “corporate recidivist”, the most problematic repeat offenders of all banks; and we are donating $60 Million to an Anti-Recidivism Program for criminal offenders??? 😏
Tech Managers are not Managers
Let's call them facilitators, hyperfocused on their own job security that they do their best to be as frictionless as possible w/ upper mgmt. Oh my how awful it would be to contribute one's own thoughts for improvements upstream! Instead we wait for... — read more
Fake news about fake accounts
Reports that fraudulent bank accounts have resurfaced at Wells Fargo are lies. We have a rolls and rolls of documentation available for “know your client” controls in all our toilet stalls.
Who’s the id--t that thought a single large screen is better than two?
Hearing hubs are getting one single screen instead of the dual monitors? Who’s the id--t that thought of this!
Absence of a Professional Dedicated Automation Testing Division in Our Company
A closer look reveals that developers are shouldering the automation testing responsibility without genuine interest or expertise in automation. While this cross-functional approach seems practical on paper, it often results in automation testing... — read more

If the 8/8 potential news is true, stay strong, positive thoughts. Good people working in the group.
Customers actually pay your pay check!
Treat them well or all is lost! Hoping execs understand this very soon!
Great job offshoring
We can see from the lost deposits how good that solution is. Keep it up Charlie..
paper paper everywhere but not a control in sight
Wells is such a feast for the fraudsters. It is now public knowledge that despite spending billions on RCSA they don’t have basic controls for opening fake accounts, fraudulent payments, missing deposits … risk management is a con here … this bank is... — read more

Agile
I don’t get a sense agile really took off. Thoughts? Where is RC the guy that came in and basically hired a bunch of people that never worked in a regulated industry before to push out his version of the truth. I hear he’s in corporate properties... — read more

Goodbye to this board.
I as well as many of you will be laid off on 8/8. Many of you don't know it yet. I got pre-notification. If you are in a non-hub location, you are toast.
Tech is EPIC!
Everyone’s so creative! Yet another attempt by tech to reinvent the narrative around the fact they are woefully overbudget and can’t deal with today. It’s all well and good to talk about optimization and client and customer trust (a personal... — read more
Our leaders are grifters
WF is synonymous w/incompetence and untrustworthiness. It's not that difficult to do the right thing and serve customers' banking needs. However, WF has not made it a priority to do so, and therein lies the problem. CEO and his cronies are grifters... — read more
I decided to manage my finances like Charlie Scharf:
As a cost-cutting measure, I kicked 2 of the kids (girls) out of the house. Someone reported me to CPS, so I made a generous contribution to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Legally adopted a fully grown man from India. (Needed cheap help... — read more

Caution Ahead
We are preparing for the next non-hub layoff. Outside of San Fran? Remote in MN? St-----g it in Colorado Springs? Think you’re safe in Winston Salem? Watch yourselves. I have no proof other than teams preparing.
Time to Clean House, Get Rid of the Underperforming Losers

Any news from Charlotte offsite

CEO doesn't care if WF fails
As Dimon protogé, CEO probably wants WF to fail. Well done, BOD.
Risk Management is incompetent at Wells Fargo
That is why regulators won’t lift the assets cap and that’s why Charlie gets irritated when analysts ask about it. The second line of defense is not independent and despite all the superficial enhancement nothing is different. Regulators didn’t... — read more

Why does the company lack mature, seasoned managers?

Mortgage
Does anyone know, if a mortgage HUB is being closed. Will the HMC'S in that HUB get laid off if not close to another? Retail HMC'S are basically fully remote already, and most very rarely go to the office.
