People working on AI things at the bank say execs are discussing how many jobs they could replace before showing the agents can handle work across Wells Fargo’s older systems. Is your team testing agents on limited tasks first? What results are being... — read more
Cyber hit hard
I was one of the unlucky (or, lucky?) ones. Who else out here?
Annual Enrollment
Shouldn't this be available to displaced people now? I don't see it on my Workday.
Congratulations, you're free
Unpopular opinion for this board: getting laid off from WF is also a release. No more badge-in to badge-out surveillance. No more Workday check-ins documenting your "failure to improve." No more Sunday-night dread. No more meetings that should have... — read more
Any other software engineers let go today?
I don't know of any others in my group and it feels like I was the only one. Maybe it was more performance based in my case? 😭
Financial Crimes was hit hard today
This was at the enterprise and business level.
Let go in IA
Couple hours later and it's still processing. Crazy how much of my life was trapped in that he-l hole.
Add me to the list
Got the call from my manager. I know of at least 6 other people in my organization (IAM) that are also gone. All but one of us knew it was coming, so it wasn't a surprise to us or the LOB. I am sure there are many others in our LOB too that I didn't... — read more
Laid off? You didn't fail — the spreadsheet did
If you got the call this year, hear this: you didn't fail. A company that cut 65,000 jobs since 2019 and says AI will "bring headcount down more" didn't let you go because of your worth — it let you go because of its math. Your skills and your work... — read more

Risk layoff
Not my team but a peer team was just pulled into a meeting, the whole team plus their manager was laid off. About 12 people. Whole meeting only took like 10 mins.

Microsoft Buyout
Charlie getting any ideas, given on their board? Or too scared too many people will take him up on it? Microsoft is offering an unprecedented voluntary buyout program to roughly 25% of its total global workforce, which equates to approximately... — read more
WF's own privacy notice: "You should not expect privacy"
WF's employee privacy notice, revised June 2026, reserves the right to monitor email, chats, calls, video recordings, internet use, office access data, computer activity, and CCTV — and says AI may be used as part of monitoring. In plain words: "You... — read more
Single income, how to handle displacement ?
Very stressful now. My day will come eventually.
Layoffs next Tuesday?
Heard some hallway conversation today
Applying to WF after a layoff
Disclaimer - yes, I know it's toxic but when that severance pay dries up and unemployment ends you don't say no. Does anyone know if when you apply to a role at WF if HR or the new hiring manager actually contacts your old manager? I have no... — read more
Town hall
Thoughts…..I’m pretty sure the first speaker spoke in one word sentences and I’m not sure what he even said.
Health Insurance
Am I crazy or did rates go way up? I know the switch from bi-weekly to semimonthly adds a bit, but I’m seeing the cheapest option for the employee only HSA Plan in the low 90’s. I currently pay just under 50 for my medical premium. Unless I’m reading... — read more
2 interviews 2 different companies in 2 weeks
The first one wasn't for me so I withdrew. But: the job market is improving for sure. Hang in there! There is life and opportunity out there. Just not here.
WF's official performance scale, updated for 2026
Exceeds expectations: you did your job and the jobs of the three people laid off in February. Meets expectations: you did your job and quietly updated your resume. Needs improvement: you asked why the team is smaller but the workload is... — read more
The quiet cost of leaving $35,000 parked at a big bank
$35,000 at 4% earns ~$1,400 a year. In a non-interest checking account: nothing. At the national average savings rate (0.38%), $20,000 earns just $76 a year. Source: FinanceBuzz, Sep 2026.
RTO reality check — how many days is your group on now?
Seeing a lot of variation: some groups on 3 days, many on 4, some exempt roles on 5 — seemingly at manager discretion. Plus badge-in to badge-out 8-hour tracking, week by week. What's your group on, and has it changed this year?
RTO timeline
Does anyone remember when these RTO reports started going out to managers?
EEOC tips
To whoever is going through manager scrutiny, remember to file ER cases and complete your Workday check-ins. You will not win ER cases, but they serve as supporting documentation for the EEOC. Keep EEOC categories in mind, and make sure those wording... — read more
Director tells us we need to be online nonstop 8+ hrs but he’s never online and calls in on his cellphone
Literally disgusting behavior. Our director does not travel for work he just chooses to do whatever he wants while treating the team like garbage. Half the time he is god knows where calling in on his cellphone and sending IMs rushing you on stuff... — read more
Requesting PTO During My First 90 Days
I haven’t started my new job at Wells Fargo yet, but I’m scheduled to start in February. I already have two trips planned that would require me to take two days off in March and another two days in May. Would requesting four days of PTO so early in... — read more
Tuesday timing
I've already been told that I'm impacted in the Tuesday bloodbath next week. What time should I expect the call that day? Do they usually do it early in the morning?
Saul takes over AI
If Saul is the new AI chief, what actually does TK do. She has had everything she has been in charge of taken away. She failed at Agile, as head of Technology, as head of consumer technology, as head of enterprise technology, and failed as a leader... — read more

Twice a month pay starting Jan ‘27
Hey guys when do we get our first bi-monthly pay in January?
Regions Financial Acquisition
Lot of chatter about WF being in a good position to buy Regions. They have a strong presence that potentially links WF networks in TX with what we have in the SE, but also a strong presence in TN and other states where WF has little. Could be a good... — read more
