Thought you all would like this one I am actively wondering why I still work here. Add this together with all the new extremely high paid senior managers and it’s a definite boondoggle for the few well connected. All the rest of the peasants can... — read more

Given the need to reduce expenses does anyone think there is a chance they ask for volunteers to get a severance package? I know of a few companies that in the same position offered those over 50 or 55 the option to leave with a package.

Longer-term employees will remember this. Back in 2014, a Wells Fargo employee sent a letter to John Stumpf asking for a raise for all employees. The outstanding part was that he cc’d in 200,000 employees and it made the news. The letter is in the... — read more 

Does it stay the same? Does Charlie look at the percentages for the so called rank-and-file (yes, that includes you, middle management) and pump the brakes? It's no secret that Wells pays out better bonuses than the competition. I know because I... — read more 

Anyone happen to notice we no longer have a vision, values and goals statement? Seems odd considering the amount of transformation we need to do. I guess we just need those new “expectations”..

I was an ASE5. Now I'm a "Software Engineer". Huh...? A "Software Engineer"...? That isn't even CLOSE to what I do. They also gave me the title of AVP. When I asked what exactly THAT means, I was told "they can get rid of you easier if... — read more

I'd give anything to leave this hellhole with a severance - even if it's not that much. Even if it's just enough to last me until I find a new job. What I'm scared of is being fired - and I see more and more of that each day. They're too stingy to... — read more 

Interesting morning. I am a manager with less than 7 direct reports. I went into PeopleSoft this morning, and there was a note that they needed me to sign off on my W4 information by 8/21/20. Should I take this as a sign that I am being packaged out... — read more

I’m sure they want to get as many people off of payroll by year-end as possible, but assuming that’s not likely. Anyone know if there’s a deadline for 2020 displacements?

A flurry of interns and new associates posting on LinkedIn about how great WF is. Do you think HR asks them to do this? If so, what’s the point?
