The VDI communication

For those wondering about the VDI that's coming, here's verbatim what was sent out in March about this from Saul. Was not sent company wide, but rather to mostly technology folks. And, the VDI portion was at the bottom of the entire article which I... — read more

Make sure you review WF on Glassdoor

I think anyone who works in wholesale banking including RM’s, portfolio managers, underwriters and analysts should start preparing for a career change. In the next few years, the entire loan underwriting, origination and portfolio management process... — read more 

One for the Capitalists

Capitalism is all about competition. Competing with your competitors for sales, for example. That competition extends to workers. Us. We either compete for jobs, or if there's a shortage of qualified workers, business competes for us. Better... — read more

Hunter’s Art

I wonder if Chainsaw or Fredo will buy some and have it hanging behind them in their next Zoom call?

Laid off and with LHH

I was laid off but WF gave me the career consulting firm LHH to work with. Does anybody have any experience with this firm? Does all WF displaced people get this LHH?

Frederick MD location

Anyone hear any news on what’s to become of the Frederick MD location? Heard rumors part of the building (more than currently is) will be leased out to other companies, or WF may not renew the lease all together (and therefore would be WFH)

Better safe than sorry

Return To Office

So when do you think they will announce return to office plans? By end of July?

What do you want your narrative to be?

“I got laid off” was not something I wanted to say in any job interview. I planned to leave on my own and was working on an exit strategy for months. I wasn’t going to allow WFC to lay me off after over 15 years. I could afford to be picky while... — read more
