I dont know if this is a commonality for a lot of you, but it seems like there is a lull in communication and activity. Is anyone else seeing / sensing this as well?

Regarding those who are using this forum to make political statements to start arguments - Why even engage them? Why give them what they want? Just ignore them. No comments, no up votes or down votes. Man, that’ll pi$$ them off. Sometimes you can... — read more 

Without providing enough detail to OUT my identity, suffice it to say that I'm close to a team that has the task of providing what I'll call a "widget" to every employee of WF by Q1 2022. These "widgets" are not cheap trinkets. They're a piece of... — read more 

Our manager told us that the possibility of getting an exception for those of us who don’t live near hubs is virtually nil and admitted that most, if not all, of us will likely be told by the fall to move or take a separation package. If there are... — read more 

I don’t see any opinions about June’s Ask Me (If You Can) Anything stream. Was it that uneventful?

My manager rarely interacts with me if there’s not a meeting. Are people resigning via email or setting up 1:1 meetings or how are people going about this nowadays, remotely?

When does the lying stop? The "dotted" line just to keep people with seven direct reports yet telling people they still work for XYZ? Not cool - they are either your manager or they aren't! If you lie on this what else do you lie about!!! Oh we are... — read more 

People have boxed themselves into bad jobs because they were not thinking ahead. They thought their jobs would always be great and safe and they spent accordingly. Then when things went south, layoffs started happening all the time, benefits got cut... — read more 

Home Lending hired a new executive. I’m sure all those people laid off last week helped pay for his salary. Of course it did. If you haven’t realized it’s a shell game for the execs by now where the average worker gets shafted, you haven’t been... — read more 

What are your plans after Wells Fargo? Are you going to start a business, retire, go to another bank?

Hi all. Is anyone else excited to get back to the office? I can’t wait to see all my coworkers and thots

So I think if you look at JPM, they create really good exit options for the employees so you can rarely see deadwoods staying there don’t want to move. And then if you look at WF, there’s literally no exit option since the techniques and skills... — read more 

Curious if anyone has any information on any upcoming re-org and/or layoffs Corporate Risk? Any dates set?

Hey all - got laid off earlier this year and I’m past my notice period. Got a new job and requested the lump sum payout for my remaining severance. Paperwork says it’ll be paid out within 60 days - anyone know if it actually takes that long? Wouldn’t... — read more

New data centers being planned in India to support an additional 50,000 users? Rumor or truth, techies?

I don't see a point in it, to be honest. A former coworker (we were friendly at work but I wouldn't consider us friends) has asked me several times to meet up for a beer. I politely refused each time (said I had plans already) but the truth is I had... — read more 

So after going back to the office, how many days do we have to go to the office per week? Do we have enough office space if the minimum of days in the office is 4 or 5? I am surprised that WF still wants everyone to get into office.

Not sure if it's a rumor, heard that there will be massive layoffs on 07/01?

Take it from somebody who used to work for two other big-name banks before WFC, they're all the same. I see people here bemoan how bad it's here, how it's the worst this, the worst that, when it's actually normal. Everything WFC is doing and the way... — read more

Offered internal role as AC3 for security and derivatives data within DMI. Should I take it? Is it “safe”?

Layoffs were always present at WF. From the day that I started working here up until now every year, we had layoffs in a bigger or a smaller portion, but people were never afraid of layoffs as they are today. Talk of layoffs replaced any other chat... — read more
