For example, is it based on tenure, performance, hub location, skills, productivity, amount of work, salary, if you are a whiner, etc?
Netflix "Dirty Money" staring "Wells Fargo" left out a key point, the methods are part of all banking culture
Yes, maybe some small banks or credit unions have a good culture but large corps rarely do. I knew someone working for Wells during the 2008 collapse. He made sure his computer screen was on and he was typing (randomly) when a manager walked by. When... — read more
They are sharpening the Lay Off knife
Mandy Norton just sent out an email asking Risk team members to fill out an activities survey so that they can identify what everyone is doing for work, and to eliminate duplication via head count reductions. Be careful what you put on your survey!... — read more
INCREASING CREDIT CARDS LIMIT WITHOUT CUSTOMERS APPROVAL
Wells will never stop the Fraud. I received an increase on two of my credit cards without my permission. You need my authorization for any new credit period. This is FRAUD. I am moving my accounts. It is apparent that NEW Management/Board are not... — read more
Charles Scharf and Well Fargo Board of Directors, your talk is cheap, and we are tired of you just listening. Now do something!

Fear, Depression, Constant Layoffs , Being Overworked is our future under Charlie Scharf
I looked at Glassdoor Employee Reviews from BNY Mellon when Charlie Scharf was CEO. What a SWEAT SHOP. Over and over again, the reviews talk about elimination of management layers, managers having 10 to 15 direct reports, constant employee fear and... — read more
Annual objectives
It’s June and our bank wide performance objective hasn’t been defined? Guess it’s not a priority.
Spans and layers
Planning is in progress to cut layers of management across the company in Q3. No less than 7 directs per manager. Staff cuts will be later.
San Francisco no longer a hub?
So they're not considering it a hub no more? I just read the post about the CRO mandy norton saying that risk people in SF must relocate?
Stop hoping for Wells Fargo to be better. It’s not going to happen.
Wells Fargo’s C-Suite only cares about Wells Fargo C-Suite. They don’t care if they harm their employees, their customers, their shareholders, small businesses. It’s a fact. I can’t tell if they are highly incompetent or highly intelligent, but I do... — read more
Mandy Norton and her ivory tower.....
Mandy must feel really elevated these days, considering the hour long calls she has with her risk staff lecturing us serfs on how horrible all of humanity is these days. Of course, she is above us all, in her ivory tower. Talk about white... — read more

Rumor has it......A and C are being leased; when and if we go back, whoever remains will be in Bldg B only; and will be customer facing employees in the office.....so either big layoff planned, or permanent work from home for some? Anyone know... — read more
Hub Strategy is ridiculous and will result top talent loss
Honestly, these executives are SO OUT OF TOUCH with what is going on in the trenches. First of all, the flex seating and hub strategy has led to less collaboration! Why? Because no one can get enough seats for their team to sit together in flex... — read more
My EGS experience
I was forced off a project (reverse discrimination anyone) to let EGS take over. During the transition, it was so obvious what was going on. There was 1 out of 20 EGS that was worth anything, and most of the time these folks copy paste code... — read more

Assume with today’s announced restructuring of Risk that she is out or demoted.
401K Company Match Not Worth Staying
Has anyone else noticed that Wells Fargo stock price is predicted to hit $20 per share or lower? We used to worry that it would drop below $50..then $40...then $30! PTO benefit is no longer worth the offsets... massive decrease in company match... — read more

Permanent WFH
I thought work from home was more or less permanent unless you're customer facing, and they're working on the details. I was hired as a telecommuter, I was told I'd be required to start showing up at an office prior to the pandemic. Now I'm told... — read more
Diabetics may be forced to self-isolate at home after lockdown is lifted, government review suggests.

Saul and jules
Nice to see our “leaders” finding time to do press runs in the middle of a pandemic while their respective organizations are slowly rotting on their watch. I wonder if they took time to mention their relocation strategy or their policy forcing you to... — read more
When is WFH ending?
Have some people already been called back, depending on their location?
Don't be naive
If you don't think we're about to have major layoffs - probably one of the biggest rounds we have ever seen here - then you are choosing to be willfully ignorant. Get your head out of the sand before you are blindsided by something that was patently... — read more
Mission critical risk jobs not being backfilled
Hello senior management. There is NO way Charlie and Scott that you are going to get out from under the consent orders in the next 2 years. Charlie you are way too focused on cost cutting, so you can show the board results, and by not approving the... — read more
While stabbing us in the back, Saul brags and takes credit to the press
Look at this hypocrite..... bragging to the press about how working remote is great, in the mean time he's screwing us by pushing the hub plan. You will be amazed at how many people can do their work from home. I was amazed myself to see that —... — read more
Anybody else surprised by this?
Wells Fargo is always looking for ways to get rid of as many employees as possible with as little consequences as possible. So I admit I'm shocked that we haven't had many, many more layoffs since the whole coronavirus thing started. I know... — read more

Promotion
Should I accept a promotion knowing that there are potential layoffs coming? What’s the likelihood of me being let go since I am going into a new role. My leadership asked me to apply for it just curious for some guidance
Charlie’s latest video
Sounds like he is gassing up the chainsaw. How long do we have before the ‘expense management’ plan is revealed and 20% get sent packing? It’s commmming...
Wells Fargo practices discrimination every day! Forget Diversity and Inclusivness!!
What a joke - applied for positions in the same group - each time it was "sorry but no thanks" yet the persons hired had credentials and experience far inferior to mine. Whats up with HR, they always say "declined" or "withdrawn" depending on what... — read more
How many USA Wells Fargo jobs have been sent to India?
They have built new buildings in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai, including others. Massive new buildings, housing 10's of thousands of back office workers. And for what? To take American jobs. Why isn't this in the spotlight? Supposedly it was to... — read more
How to GET laid off?
According to emails from HR, I'm now "retirement eligible". When they add my age plus my years of service it meets their threshold. I've maxed my 401k since day one, and now it is enough money that I could live off it forever. The problem is I'm... — read more
