Starting a job at Wells Jan 19th. Is the United plan decent? Coming from a place with Humana
Job promotions
I was told WF doesn’t give promotions. Any truth to this? I have been here for 1 year and was hoping to get a title change.
More cuts and AI

Focus Rooms
2 Hours! That’s all you should be in there for. Doesn’t anyone follow instructions anymore. It’s the same people everyday using the same focus rooms.
Stuck between hating the job and needing it badly
Judging from my immediate surroundings, most people feel the same way. Fear makes us all trip over ourselves to perform, as if that’s somehow going to save our jobs. It’s a frigging trap. Every time I lost a job before, I regretted wasting so much... — read more
Trump declares Christmas Eve and Dec 26 federal holidays.
Question now is will the Federal Reserve add it to their holiday schedule and then will we get an email from Charlie telling us that we are off too?
Layoffs the week of Christmas?
Does that ever happen at this company since the leaders have no qualms about it? Or do we have to wait till January to kick off fresh 2026 waves to hit the target?
You should all breathe a little easier, the death knell of Copilot is upon us.

How does health insurance change during severance?
I got laid off and was wondering if I will have to pay the full amount after the 60 days. I signed the documents and got confirmation, but haven't heard anything since.

Understanding Digital Activity Tracking and Employee Expectations
Digital activity has become a hot topic with leadership lately. We’re being told that if you don’t show consistent online activity, you could be flagged as “inactive,” which honestly has people worried about job security. I’m trying to understand... — read more
Hiring of leaders in tech?
How are we hiring leaders in a regular basis in tech while we’re laying off people? And they all seem to come from the same few companies- bunch of leaders poaching their buddies from BoNY etc. what a joke. I guess they’re cleaning house and... — read more
Wells Fargo has been going to downhill since offshore is expanded
IT help desk has heavy accent and doesn’t resolve the problem at all.
Bad team, even worse manager
I’ve never had it this bad in 26 years, across several workplaces. I honestly don’t know whether this is WF or just exceptionally bad luck, but it’s almost impressive how many incompetent and petty people have been assembled in one place. What makes... — read more
Don’t let others take credit for your work
I stayed quiet because I didn’t want to rock the boat when someone else took credit for my work, and that silence ended up costing me. That person got promoted, and I was left feeling like an id--t for not speaking up when it mattered. Learn from my... — read more
AI isn’t replacing us, but it will still mean more layoffs
Not just because jobs are being shipped overseas. It’s also because AI simply isn’t delivering. They can paper over the AI flop for only so long, and we all know who will end up paying the price for the brilliant idea of throwing massive amounts of... — read more
The layoff process makes no sense
I can't understand the logic the leadership is using to choose who stays and who goes. They've let some really skilled people go recently for no clear reason. Some newer folks as well, who joined maybe a year or so ago. Their decisions just seem... — read more
Nobody is safe
The estimate for 2025 is around 10K jobs cut in total. We can only assume WF will stay the course in 2026, or more likely, things will get even worse. Keep your resume updated and try to skill up in the meantime, though I’m not convinced skills even... — read more
Layoff posts getting too close
I’ve noticed a number of posts about moving teams to India rather thn traditional layoffs are getting deleted. Must be getting too close to something. Teams are moving to India. US are losing their jobs. Goals are very high.
It’s MARCH DAY!!!
How are you going to celebrate your windfall from our benevolent leader's? Dancing with joy? A parade perhaps? Share with us your plans on how you will celebrate surviving until today to get that match.
QA Centralization and Displacements
Have there been any displacements yet due to the centralization of QA?
Markets -CRG
Why do we need Market Leaders? They ought to be referred to as Recruiter Specialists. They no longer have any significant role in managing a Market. Getting rid of Ops and CA’s is not helping the bottom line.
Winston to Charlotte
Has anyone heard anything else about the move from Winston Tower to CIC? It seems like the tower is getting more crowded and growing!
Are there anymore layoffs happening in 2025?
I am in Payment Operations, and we had a big ISO release this year, even got a Manager Spotlight award last week (but who cares about these anymore)... however I have reduced work load since mid November and no one is talking about what is coming in... — read more
I miss the great effort and teams we built just 5 short years ago.....
Before, we were one team. Its true. When the rubber hits the road, just about everyone was concerned about pitching in and making the bank better. When I was laid off, I can share, some of my coworkers reached out. They were concerned. It was... — read more
Bonus, Bonus, what will it be??....
Wow! Some concerned about bonus! Let me tell you, I was displaced on 9/30/25. I don't get a bonus. I don't get anything really. And to be clear, I thought like you OP! Yep, so some got laid off, but we are here doing all the work now. I guess that... — read more
Charlie…how many more layoffs?
This needs to be stop. Can you be more transparent and honest? Just asking.
Bonuses up or down this year?
Anyone have information on bonuses this year? Up, down or same?
How many staff has Wells Fargo laid off in 2025?
What is the estimated or projected number of lay offs for 2026?
I'm Sorry Dave, I Can't Do That....
Hal2000 was conflicted in his assignments. I can't wait to see what happens when our AI models get surreptitious assignments with override codes like Hal2000 did. Yes, its coming! "I'm sorry Bob, I just can't activate your account right now. You... — read more
More West Des Moines layoffs
Wells Fargo announced it will lay off an additional 25 workers from its Jordan Creek Campus. The company has cut 1,393 Des Moines metro jobs since April 2022, with more reductions expected in 2026. CEO Charlie Scharf cited a push for efficiency... — read more
RTO hours
According to my manager looks like we get the last 2 weeks of December to work from home. LOB HR.
Chances of getting a new job is bleak
When someone submits a resume today, they have the abysmally low 0.4% chance of actually getting the job, per Business Insider. Thanks to Trump for letting h1b visa workers to compete against the American workers.
Medical Exemption
Has anyone gotten approved for medical exemption to not RTO?
What companies really mean when they roll out AI
Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would... — read more
Severance Policy Change in 2026?
Curious if anyone has heard of severance changes starting next year. Employee Handbook isn't available until January 1st.
Is it getting harder to plan meetings?
Since the expanded in office 8 hours mandate has it been harder to plan meetings. Most people I know, including me, have hard start and stops now. Good luck trying to set up a call with india, nyc, mn and az. There is a window of like 3 hours. When... — read more
When is the next employee survey?
I have A LOT to say. Could write a book. Haven't done one in the last 5 years or so, or even remember when the last one was, but this time around there is no holding back. Hoping it's coming soon.
How's this even supposed to work?
Half our team is gone, and somehow we’re supposed to keep everything running like nothing changed. I genuinely don’t understand how leadership thinks the same workload is going to get done with half the people. There’s no plan, no adjustment... — read more
