I really wish people would stop talking out of their asses and scaring others for no reason. When the D-Day approaches, we'll all know.
Question to those laid off

I’ve seen conflicting information. Has anyone had any luck negotiating terms?
To the negative posts still collecting a paycheck
From Wells Fargo, why are you still here and why are you hoping the bank fails if you're still here collecting a paycheck and benefits? Honest question because I honestly don't understand.
WFAM for sale.
How much can WF get for WFAM unit? IMO I would estimate Between $5-7 Billion. Morgan just paid $7 Billion for Eaton Vance who have around $500 Billion Asset Management division. WF has between $500 and $600 Billion under AM.
Was Carlie hired by BOD to sell WF to another Company?
It sure looks like that’s what he is doing. Perhaps that was what BOD wanted and hired him to do. Otherwise, they would of fired him by now. Considering the market share of WF is down almost 60 percent since he was hired. And he already started... — read more
The reason Auto hasn't had layoffs
Given how tiny of a blip Auto's revenues are to the enterprise, combined with the inherently dead-end nature of used car loans, and everyone basically forgets that Auto even exists. Auto will likely continue to enjoy numerous "managers" with fewer... — read more
401 Contribution
With the change from quarterly to yearly I’m changing my 401 investment to 6%. I was doing significantly more but I feel like is WF is going to do the bare minimum, then I should as well. I will probably take the difference in what I was doing and... — read more

401K match is in stock, not cash
Let’s not forget that the match is in company stock 🤮, not cash. This is less expensive to Wells, for tax reasons. The employees who don’t automatically move it out are down 58%. Maybe that is what we should all be fighting for is a cash match rather... — read more
It's a 6% match not dollar for dollar
I keep seeing all these inflated figures on the 6% WF match on the 401K for over $250K employees . The max an employee can contribute is $19500.00, increases to $26000.00 if over 50. So the 6% match will be between $1170.00 and $1560.00 for those... — read more

Whining is getting old. No one forces unhappy employees to stay. If you decide to stay then get over it. If you want to leave then leave. Empty threads are useless and laughable.
Wage theft minnesota
Had to sign an acknowledgement form indicating all non exempt employees are to record ALL hours over time included. My manager still wants me to get his approval and take comp time instead.
Why the reversal of decision for the 401k match for those earning > $250M really bothers me
The sudden change of heart by leadership to remove the 401k match for those earning > $250M is questionable at best. These employees are the top earners and are more influential than those who earn less. I know that this change was very poorly... — read more

Charlie Scharf champion of Mediocracy
