Wells Fargo found a loophole to get rid of people without severance

What Software Engineers should get paid
Public perception seems to be that software engineers get paid some 6 figure salary,even 100k. Where as in reality it is even far higher than that. A lot of people are surprised when i said that junior entry level engineers get paid 200k and... — read more
Sorry but Wells is here to stay, here is some real data...

How many of you still working here hope Wells Fargo goes under?
What will you do while still employed here if they announced that they will sell Wells off? How comforting that will be to not have a job and especially to the older workers who aren't old enough to retire to be turned down at other firms because... — read more
Wells Won't Fail but it will be Smaller
I worked at wells, MD level in securities business, I was fired for reporting management that was violating securities regulations. They took my restricted stock, defamed my U4, and management used every Wells lever they could to end my career. ... — read more

Time will prove me to be right
Wells Fargo is on it’s way out. It is over, just a matter of when. We don’t deserve to succeed. We have nothing unique or noteworthy to offer clients above and beyond any other financial institution. We are not trustworthy. Our technology is beyond... — read more

Leaders don’t know how to lead
Interesting how the spans and layers were selected but they won’t work. People are being herded into larger groups and the managers are to manage. The problem is they won’t change how they managed their smaller team so those going into a larger... — read more

Hmm, nothing like stacks of junk on the shelves to inspire the troops
How many branches have closed so far this year?
When Charlie announced it, it was supposed to be 300. If I'm not mistaken, we're about half way there. Does that mean they'll cram all the remaining closures in the next seven-eight weeks? Or was there a change of plans and they're keeping some of... — read more
Is hiring internally limited with Finance/Risk?
Might be more Wells in general, but seems like there are few internal roles open within Finance and Risk, especially Finance. But those areas have seen an influx of external hirers.
Where's this economy headed?
Layoffs Are at Lows and Hiring Is Robust. But That Doesn’t Mean the Job Market Is Fixed. The feared second wave of pandemic layoffs hasn't materialized, and businesses are continuing to add workers at a rapid clip. That's encouraging, especially... — read more

Deferred Comp
Does anyone know what happens to unvested deferred comp. if caught in the RIF? Do we get to keep it or do we lose it? Thanks!
Life insurance refund
Any idea how much the life insurance refund will be?
No messing around
11/17 layoffs will be material (over 10,000 bank wide) from my understanding talking to someone with contacts at the top of the bank. Given the smaller bonus pool, they are trying every trick in the book to reduce headcount to keep comp attractive... — read more
“In The Press” on Teamwork’s vanished
Just noticed today that the In The Press section of Teamwork’s is no longer there. I would assume that that means the people that administer that are no longer there. Was curious if anyone noticed when that went away? Thanks
How far in advance does management know?
How far in advance do managers and director-levels usually know of layoffs? Do they get a month notice or is it more like 24 hours, 15 minutes, etc.? I'm sure it varies but what's it been lately?
11/17
As we’re now only a week out from try next suggested “impactful” lay-off, I’m curious if any more details have come available. Everything is hush-hush in my division, with the last round of layoffs being minimally discussed. I know there’s usually... — read more

Position
Software Engineers are some of the most prideful and arrogent people on the planet and so therefore they always believe that they need more and always want to go to that next higher level. Companies try to give inflated titles as a means of a... — read more
