Can confirm this because this is what I saw with my own eyes in my area. If you think WF has been fu---d up enough, think again.
If you were remote BEFORE covid, there's no current plan to return to office.
Boss told me this in our meeting yesterday. I've been remote for 9 years. He confirmed as of now, there's no word about return to office.
Accommodations sla?
From the time you submit the form, when do you hear? And how long was whole process?
Genius cost saving idea tied to RTO
Use RTO to trigger attrition before paying out bonuses and profit sharing. Even better would be to add COVID ability. WF saves billions. Those left behind will pick up all the slack.
Twice per week testing now!
Starting Jan 3rd or within the first 7 days of your specific RTO. Rapid tests being sent to home address. Yet, 100% of the population could be carriers.
Twice a week testing for unvaccinated employees
I thought they said it would be weekly testing but it’s 2x a week preferably Monday & Wednesday. So healthy people have to test two times a week? What nonsense is this.
Tech Connect Question
Why are hold times so long?
Since so many are planning/thinking about quitting
I figured this could be useful to some/many: Even if you have the world’s most amazing job (which, let’s be real, you don’t), you’ve probably fantasized about quitting this year. People are doing it in record numbers! What better time to throw a... — read more
When did this site turn into a technology group forum?
It is obvious that tech 1) has too much time on their hands 2) is self centered. Almost every comment made by someone who identifies as being in tech only worries about that group and not the rest of the company. Worst is the (insert pompous voice)... — read more
Tax Question
I got laid off in August after 18 years of service. I received a notice from WF the other day informing me that starting 1/1/22, the 'salary continuation' I had will be considered 'severance' I have to speak with an advisor about what this really... — read more
Treat Tech Better
When will WF realize that if they don’t treat their Tech employees better, they’ll just jump to a tech company that actually gives value to work-life balance and employee flexibility to work remotely with better pay? These tech companies have no... — read more
New Program - "Site Leaders"
Apparently the (unlucky) 13 largest sites now have an assigned "site leader". New program they say. Considering that everyone in the company already has a leader, I'm not sure what the purpose of this program is. High ranking hall monitors? What are... — read more
I'm excited to go back into the office but..
I think they should ease into it. Have the requirement be something like the following so its less stressful for people. 1st Month - 1 day required a week 2nd Month - 2 days required a week 3rd Month - 3 days required a week
Deferred Compensation
For all those who were chosen to participate in the Deferred Compensation program, have you received notification for 2022 participation?
Leadership Hit Team?
I'm starting to wonder if someone hired some folks to get into the WF leadership and tank the company......
Thinking of jumping aboard the stagecoach? Be sure to do it with your eyes wide open.
I know this is a layoffs site, but since potential job applicants peruse these boards I thought it’d be helpful to provide some insight into what’s been going on lately within the bank. Note that these observations are my own, and I don’t speak for... — read more
Pfizer CEO says fourth Covid vaccine doses may be needed sooner than expected due to omicron
My question for the executives reading this, when will your requirements end? Will you expect us to keep getting booster shots just so we can come into the... — read more
Additional Space at Hudson Yards NYC?
Article in Wall Street Journal says that Wells Fargo has notified Hudson Yards landlord that they need more space in that building. I guess we need space for more corporate executives?
And the hits keep coming…
https://www.barrons.com/advisor/articles/finra-fines-wells-fargo-51638987709 Not sure HOW we are allowed to stay in business?? IMO, anyone at the top who is responsible for each failure should be fired on the spot. Somebody is signing off on this... — read more
No point in RTO
Omicron is just getting started. Considering that it's more contagious than Delta, it will not take long for it to spread throughout the entire country. Since it's more dangerous than Delta as well and vaccines are not as efficient against it, it's... — read more
RTO Jan for Tech
Yet another email today. Guess Jan 10 is a hard deadline for RTO for tech. Rip
Two things (CPI and RTO)
The annual inflation rate, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, is 6.2%. If you receive a pay raise anything less than that, Wells Fargo has issued you a pay cut. That is a stubborn mathematical fact that cannot be finessed or explained... — read more
Denial of Service Courtesy of Empower Retirement
Tried to login on Friday 12/3 to Empower Retirement, verification code was sent 30 minutes later instead of 3 minutes. So effectively preventing login. This continued and then I eventually saw a message warning of some Amazon AWS issues. Ok so here... — read more
Since Charly took over
No more designated work space, no option to WFH, no more opportunities to grow one’s career internally if not in a hub, 401(k) matching just once a year, no more profit sharing, uncertain bonus, horrible rating system for performance reviews. What... — read more
SVB overruled again. Tech to RTO Jan 10 instead of in February 2022 as SVB told his team earlier on.
Stop the RTO and vaxx sh-t and talk something else
Like how many millions do we need to safely retire? Discuss plz.
New Job Families in Tech
I work with a bunch of Analytic Consultants in Tech (we got mapped into Tech recently). Due to our unique situation and the fact that we don't easily align to any of the new Tech and Data Job Family positions, I can decide how these people get mapped... — read more
I’m so angry
I just can’t take this anymore. I’m done. I once up and quit a job because everything was so f***ing miserable. I’m not waiting this one out any longer in hopes of anything getting better. My best to you all ❤️
#RockRTO
Katy Perry wrote a song about Wells Fargo Leadership. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTHNpusq654
Maybe too big but obviously not too stupid to fail!
Treating people like cogs in a wheel in one thing... rubbing their noses in it is not only rude... it's stupid. Not giving enough advance notice for folks to adequately plan for the stupid RTO (or G(o)TO for those that were WFH) is an a--hat move... — read more
To all of you in Tech….
…losing your sh-t because you have to RTO, all of us NON-TECH people have been saying it and saying it and saying it. Why didn’t you believe anyone? What made you guys think Saul was gonna save you?
New 2022 Info
Information from a meeting I listened in. Disclaimers first. This applies to Technology. I do not know how much it applies elsewhere. Certainly some of it does, and probably it will impact everyone in some way. Voluntary Attrition has not... — read more
Look at Teamworks!!
We’re going back.
Return To Office
Just the saw new Technology policy for RTO. In office presence is no longer optional, it has changed to mandatory. In fact, it reminds me of Bank of America's policy when it ended work from home. I am thinking the bank does not want to pay... — read more
Technology Leadership Email
So are they basically walking back what SVB said at the town hall and making us go in the office a set amount of days? I'm extremely confused and irritated.
3.9% increases? Hm
We’ll see!… lol https://www.businessinsider.com/biggest-worker-raise-decade-wages-inflation-salary-budgets-conference-board-2021-12
Vaxx discrimination
Anyone out there wondering how weekly testing for the “un vaxx” makes no sense? Shouldn’t everyone get weekly testing? The vax are not protected from getting Covid after 3 shots and many more to come. Almost all staff have gotten Covid and mostly all... — read more
More Drivel from Chuckie
From a transcript on Seeking Alpha today. They can’t say it’s totally accurate because they didn’t capture all the “umms” and “ahhs” in his response, but regardless, some of what he said is laughable at best - “extraordinary” change and “clear... — read more
Too many people complain over nonesense on here
