Someone from Bank of America said they love
Reading our board about our layoffs. What's really sad is that they don't believe that they will be facing the same problem soon. Read away. Any one who thinks their bank will not be laying off is delusional.
Ethics Question about Layoffs
Accidently learned that 2 peers will be let go, and when it is going to happen. For real. Should I tell them? They are colleagues, but are not friends. At the same level as me. I don't "trust" them, but I don't "not trust" them, if that... — read more

When C level executives agree to take ALL of their pay in the form of stock options, not RSU’s or Performance Units, they we can say they are actually acting in the shareholders best interest. The fact that they are not shows where their interest... — read more
Do management layers apply to bank branches
I know there are many branch managers with fewer than 7 direct reports. Will these branches close? How about the service managers roles, will they be impacted? Are their roles going to be eliminated just as they were at U.S Bank? I understand the... — read more
We’ve got good people working in the ranks, BUT...
Somebody break this place up. We don’t deserve to be in business, especially the business of keeping people’s money safe and handling financial transactions. Wells Fargo should be covered on the show American Greed. We are the poster child for... — read more
Every was true, 8/25 info started flowing top to bottom, many will be notified tomorrow and Friday

Asset Cap not as bad as many people might think!
I think the Asset Cap is a blessing and a curse at the same time. Since Wells can’t lend right now over 1.95 trillion, they will be in a better shape then the other big banks in the long run. There will be a lot of Loan defaults because of the... — read more

Anyone else on MMB Service Leader call today?
Unbelievable! These Wholesale Risk and FC people are clueless! They are instructing the front office on policies and processes, but don’t even understand it themselves. Not to mention, the RAs should have attended the call. Now, CSMs are responsible... — read more
Were there any layoffs today?
Is this over or are there more to come this week?
How will layoffs be done?
What'll be the sequence of steps? A meeting invite? Call with my Dir and HR person? Script driven, no emotions, etc. What do you thing? How will layoffs be done?
Management layers
I keep hearing and reading about this. Can someone explain? I also heard managers have too many direct reports under them. That it should be six to seven? My manager has about 18.
Status of Wells Fargo Advisors
Other than the FRAs being laid off, are there any updates concerning the Investment Products Group or Compliance Group?
FCRM
Anyone have any insight on to lay-off stuff for FCRM? I’ve noticed there’s been a big push for “efficiencies” lately, kinda seemingly like people’s workloads are gonna increase for some reason. Additionally, the overall managerial structure of the... — read more
Will Goldman Sachs buy out WFC?
There were rumors just before COVID hot that Goldman Sachs will merge with WF. In a way that make sense since WF has such a bad image right now and being taken over by G.S will solve most of the issues. Also, WF doesn’t have the best technology and... — read more
When does the WIM Operations hammer drop?

REVS Team Meetings Scheduled
Today at 5pm local time, 3 tiers of meetings were scheduled. Each level of management has a meeting scheduled with a final meeting scheduled for the entire team at the end. Is this the end?
Is anyone else hoping they get laid off?
Over the past several months, I have been anxiously awaiting what seems like will be my eventual departure from the bank. I have worked at Wells Fargo for 16 years, and it is not the company that I fell in love with in my early 20s. It is sad to see... — read more
Employment Attorney to Review Severance Package
I am getting a severance package. Should I have an employment attorney review it before singing? I have no ax to grind with WF. I just want to make sure I don't sign away any benefits. Your input is appreciated.
Well the folks in India are happily posting on LinkedIn

WF will pay $7.8M to settle hiring discrimination accusations https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/banking/article245233685.html Prior leadership issue but another highlight of the systemic dysfunction within WF
Who knows what happened to the employees who used to comment on every article in Teamworks?
You know the ones. I'm especially curious about the handful who constantly tried to hold leadership accountable. Comments disappeared not long after the Chase gang started moving in. Any of those brave souls still have jobs? I can't remember any of... — read more
zz.Names at bottom of WF Global Address Book
I am curious re: how long the zz.Names at the bottom of the WF Global Address Book remain. There are many Managed Resources and Branch employees with email addresses disabled. I'm wondering if these are from the last few days, or older.
