'Business Liaison Consultant'
These people are overpaid dead weight. Name one thing they do that isn't just them passing along someone else's work or message to someone else. If WF wants to cut expenses, another great place to start are these glorified secretaries. If... — read more

Today is Tuesday, December 1.
Does any one know of any layoffs going on?
Do any LOBs offer flexible work schedules?
Like every other friday off, compressed schedules, etc. Asking for a friend.
Seriously, asset cap or no asset cap, why do we have 268,872 employees?
I guess we laid off 5000 or so - go us - but we really need to be under 200,000 for our revenue size

This year was just a warm-up
2021 will really shine when it comes to layoffs. We are nowhere near to reaching the desired number of employees and the chances are they'll pick things up next year to get there sooner. After all, fewer employees means fewer costs means more bonus... — read more

disability and termination?
So I'm working on getting permanent disability status through SS. If I go on disability with WF, can they terminate me after my FMLA expires, or do they have to carry me for as long as my short term and long term disability last?
Are you WFH or back at the office?
I normally work in a call center but take calls from home now. Do they intend to have everyone back in the office after COVID? Also, I was just put in a training group for “new hires” which makes me think they are less likely to lay off in our... — read more
