Been at WF for about a year and I've been told I'm on the chopping block and trying to figure out how much runway I have before I'm destitute.
This needed its own thread - Gangsta move
From the Automate your Job post * Love this! Fist bump and pump to you guys! Secretly I did the same. I didn’t tell anyone the recipe or the details. It was for my benefit. Did I reinvent the wheel?... — read more
What is the point of the stock purchase plan???
I’m a new hire (for how much longer? Who knows). I went to enroll in the stock purchase plan and found out that the shares are just bought on the open market at no discount... Can’t I just do that myself? Sounds more like a benefit for Wells Fargo... — read more
How do mid-Years REALLY Work?

How many layoffs due to the coronavirus so far?
Do we know how many people have been laid off since the pandemic started? It'd be nice to know where we fall among other banks in number of jobs cut. Then we'd know if the layoffs are truly connected to the pandemic or if Wells Fargo is just using it... — read more

It's difficult to watch this
It’s sad to watch a company die, to see all the wasted potential, to see everything the employees are being put through on a daily basis, to see the greed of those on top consume everything that was once good here... We were once at the top of the... — read more
Manipulating rankings to terminate for cause is REAL!
Well, turns out it's all true. FIVE of some of the best partners I've ever worked with at WF were given rankings of 2 today. They are experts at what they do, efficient, engaged, helpful, proactive process improvers, etc. All have had great... — read more

Mid Year Rankings
The consensus seems to be that mid years will include rankings. Do we anticipate this information being shared with the employee or will this be for management use only?

Deleted! Why would the public affairs/Corp comms thread get deleted?
That’s bizarre. It was benign. I was following it as I’m in public affairs. Who/how can you have it removed?
Worth it to stay after the cuts?
I don't know about the rest of you, even if I survive the cuts (which I doubt I will; 61 y/o, manager with 7 directs, 19 years in, decent salary) I'm not sure if I will stay much longer afterwards. The work is not going to get reduced 10-20%. I'm... — read more

OMFG I am just so f---ing scared now
So f—ing anxious and scared about the layoff. Don’t wanna lose my job and then sleep on the street since there’s literally no way to get a job now. Every company has the hiring freeze in place if you ever talk to employees in other companies. So... — read more
