So they are relaxing face coverings for people that are “fully vaccinated”. How do you know they were? Especially when they say respect their decisions around vaccination. So you can’t question them if they are not masked up? I see this ending... — read more
Question for the people who sincerely like and support Charlie
My question is: What changes has Charlie made that have had a positive impact on your life as a Wells Fargo employee? Stock price is recovering, but I could just own the stock without working here, so that is not an employment factor for me. Pay... — read more
Water tastes funny

Corp Comms Disaster Continues
That meeting yesterday was a joke. Also this process to make us “more efficient” is code for “I am going to double your work load and make you more miserable than before so you quit and we never backfill them role.”
I have never thought layoffs as a blessing in disguise
I have lost three jobs involuntarily and every time I landed, they weren't a good fit. It could be because I was desperate and just took anything as opposed to when I left on my own, the jobs were a perfect fit. It's better to leave on your own... — read more

250 being laid off/quit per workday on average
So with this speed, I think we will hit the 50k mark much sooner than expected and will hit the 70k mark before Q3 next year. This is really scary I have to say.
Life Insurance after layoff/ job change
Addressed to folks who had opted for Optional Life Insurance through WF/Metlife. Were you able to port that over after job separation? Were the rates similar to what you were paying while still being employed at Wells?

Ally Bank ends all overdraft fees, first large bank to do so

New Risk Process Old Shove it under the rug method....
So do Barry and Nate really think this new risk process is effective? They shove people into spots who have never done the job before, provide no real training beyond pie-in-the-sky decks that are 200 pages long and have them "guess" if data is... — read more

I don't buy this

Saul’s AMA 5/28
Let the commentary begin!
This board is hilarious
People are fighting over everything. They all think they are right and they know better. Exhausting but entertaining. Waiting to hear their fate, get bored and fight with each other. Fun!
