Most recent round on 3/7/23
Wells Fargo did it again. This time they laid off most senior employees in portfolio underwriting and kept most non performing and lesser experienced underwriting team. This has to be the biggest mistake and this new management team has no direction... — read more
Medical Waiver
Has anyone submitted a medical waiver to not go in the office? Any feedback helps. I heard some people got it and it was approved but I am skeptical about it for the long run of things.
Do holidays still count as in office day?

WFC was trading at $48/share when Charlie took over
It’s at $43 today. Peers like BofA and JPM have seen a gain in their share prices in that period. Still no end in sight for the asset cap, various consent orders, etc. Decimated the best mortgage business in the nation. But we’ve spent hundreds of... — read more

Will servicing/ loss Mitigation get hit next?
Was bounced to servicing, loss mitigation area as well as a TON of other folks too. The workload is lite over here. Any word heard of downsizing over here too?
Old manager
Received an email with a previous manager on it and noticed he is now some BS consultant. Wells does need to cut the fat in some areas. He was completely useless. Unbelievable how someone like that keeps climbing.
Displacements Advisory Group
Just saw a job posting for Displacement Advisors to join the “newly created Displacement Advisory Group within Human Resources.” So that’s just swell.
Hours in office
Does anyone have an actual answer as to how many hours you must be logged on to the network for it to "count" as an in-office day? At my site it seems Iike at least half of the people there leave for the day before lunchtime.
Layoff predictions
None of you “predicting” dates and huge layoffs have been right. I don’t believe any of this info. None of you have inside info or been on big executive calls. Liars and trolls.
