I can no longer support Wells Fargo and will not be banking with them. What banks are domestically based? Every dollar counts these days and Charlie wont have mine anymore.
When can we expect more layoffs?
I've heard talk about Q4, does that mean we are safe until then?
Letter to the house
Everyone on this forum needs to be honest about what’s really happening at wells. If each of us sends the same letter to the house shortly before Charlie’s next appearance we might see some real change. Either force him to tell the truth or lie under... — read more
Listen up Congress and Regulators, this is what is going on
Charlie is just like all the former executives. He is fixated on increasing profits by cutting risk and compliance departments, and getting out from under the Consent Orders. He won’t even backfill desperately needed compliance jobs, so the... — read more
Wells Fargo still sending US jobs to the Philippines, as well as India
Google (Wells Fargo job opportunities in the Philippines) and you’ll find over 100 new jobs recently posted out there. Not sure why I’m ever surprised. Maybe it’s because Wells so arrogantly boasts about “their legacy of supporting those in need... — read more
Can’t wait to be laid off and go through the Food Bank lines proudly wearing my Wells Fargo branded clothes and masks!!!
In fact, we can coordinate a day where all of the Wells Fargo laid off employees go through the food bank lines together across the country. We can wear our Wells Fargo branded clothing. Will be great for brand awareness and should boost sales!
Chainsaw Charlie more like shovel
Charlie is literally digging wells into a deeeper hole in terms of reputation and relationship with regulators. Let’s start with reputation. Wells has been riddled with scandal and literally hasn’t had any good press in I don’t know how long. Hence... — read more
Laughing at people who bought the stock
People there is no V recovery for Wells Fargo stock. This ship is going down and will never recover! Why? Because the Regulatory problems are huge, the senior executives who are spearheading the Regulatory work streams are clueless and provide the... — read more
BizJournal: WF about to have substantial layoffs
It's in BizJournal, on FB, etc. today, 6/10/2020. Scharf announcing substantial layoffs imminent. After public health crisis, WF seeking "as lean a state as we can responsibly operate". (Nice rhyme... a la "if it doesn't fit, you must... — read more
Does anyone know what criteria will be used to select who gets laid off?
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
Frederick site rumor
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
Amanda Norton out?
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

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/72971/000119312520074921/d864220ddef14a.htm The estimated annual total compensation of the median Wells Fargo employee (other than our CEO) was $65,931. We estimate that our CEO’s total annual compensation... — 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.

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
