Iowa Layoffs Yesterday
Apparently there were 52 people given 60 day notices yesterday between Ankeny, downtown, and West Des Moines locations. Not huge numbers, but that brings the total for the last 30 days to 200 people for the state.

Has wells gotten older?
Is it me or has wells gotten older? When I started in the 10s there seemed to be a fair mix of younger people in their mid to late 20s. Now you look across the enterprise and everyone is in their 30s and 40s. Has Wells gotten considerably older or do... — read more

Does anybody at WFC management care why people are leaving?
There's no exit interview and most people who quit are told to not do their notice period. That sounds more like the bank is happy to get rid of them as soon as possible rather than figure out why they're leaving. If we were having usual levels of... — read more

Has anyone from that team been laid off before?
Serious Question. Serious answers only please. Can anyone point out
how DEI has increased production at Wells? Remember, our strength is in our diversity, as the saying goes. Feel free to address return on investment in terms of how much DEI executives are paid.

August's Global Employee Survey
My dilemma: 1) Give honest, unflattering feedback regarding Wells as a whole and possibly negatively impact my manager and my manager's manager, who are both excellent; or, 2) Lie, thus allowing Wells to insist that employees are actually happy.
