Consent Order / Asset Cap

Does anyone know when the asset cap will be lifted? I feel like I haven’t heard anything about it recently on the town halls. Once it’s lifted will our expense reduction culture and efficiency projects make us stronger?

Refi

I'm a closer in refi. My pipeline has dropped like a stone. From 100 or more to 8 in a matter of weeks. I can't see them keeping us much longer.

401k - getting the shaft again

The annual 401k match happened at the top of the market. It is absurd the match doesn’t happen every paycheck. We would be averaging into the market right now (getting shares at a low price) if not for company greed. Workers getting the shaft again! — read more

RTO vs fake interviews

RTO is still infinitely worse than fake interviews, which have been going on for decades, but it's not about keeping minorities away from jobs. It's about hiring managers hiring who they want to hire. RTO is the real problem for employees. Don't let... — read more
