They are letting people go left and right for the smallest of things to avoid payout of any kind
I have a feeling they will change the severance packages again at the start of the new year. It’s so hard to believe that the people who were laid off 3 years ago after three years with the company got more severance then I would get now after 15... — read more
3Q earnings are dismal

Charlie struggles with technology
Here at BNY, he never accomplished much automaton, so he defaulted to heavy layoffs. The problem was, the lack of automation made the company vulnerable with so many people being laid off and no viable automation in place. At least one major outage... — read more

Are layoffs on hold?
Seems as if displacements have slowed down or stopped. Is Wells waiting for the new CEO to wield the axe? How long before he sends an email announcing exciting changes?

California is a dead zone for Wells Fargo Employees

Thankful that a CEO has been announced

Scharf won't last and everybody (incl. Board) knows it
WF is just trying to get an arse (albeit, a very expensive arse) in the chair. Period. He won't last long. He knows it. WF knows it. Wall Street and govt. know it. Why would he move when he's just in it for a quick buck? This is all a game to... — read more
