So what was the point of today's Coronavirus update from Scott Powell? They did not change the date, it's still out until "at least 11/1/2020". And WHY didn't it change? I don't feel safe going back to the office in less than 6 weeks, nothing has... — read more

It seems like so many people at Wells Fargo are fake. They promote the image they want others to think of them as. I have watched people act terrible. I have watched others lose themself to be a corporate spokesperson. These people use these... — read more

Why am I directing so much of my ire at Charlie Scharf? One could argue that he is just the innocent man they brought in to clean up the mess made by our prior self-serving management, right? I should be more angry at Stumpf, Tolstedt, their... — read more 

That's not how it's done. You're told first and then the package arrives afterwards. I can see many of you have never been displaced before.

That after everything Wells Fargo has been through they still have gall to blame entry level employees for the cross sale and “8 is great” culture Stumpf and Tolsted bred. Bankers did what they were told which was cross sell. Just because the... — read more

Charlie thinks departments sending flowers to funerals of employees or their families are a waste of money. $10 billion has to come from somewhere!

Looking smug as ever.

I’m hitching on to an interesting reply under the “Efficiency and corp properties” post that talks about Wells Fargo spending so much money on “Workplace 2020” in order to appear hip and trendy to attract and retain young talent. (“Wells Fargo“ and... — read more

We talk about efficiency. Do we really need the quantity of highly paid leaders and 1000+ employees in that group to manage our properties? We lease most out so why do we need so many people there?

As a non-manager, who picks who gets laid off from a team? Is HR telling managers which names they pulled or are managers told they have to cut 3 people and they choose who on the team gets cut?

I myself find it totally unprofessional and rather seedy how Wells Fargo is going about the layoff business. Going on the media touting about all the headcount cuts for months while team members are nervous, wondering about their livelihood and... — read more
