We got our reviews but manager said they can’t talk compensation until like the end of the month? Is this true? I don’t remember my old managers doing that. When can they talk about comp and when does it go into affect?

Is JLL taking over CPG?

Any guesses on when St Louis MO will be vacated and left to the dust bin of Wells Fargo history? My gut tells me 3-5 years tops.

Did they announce how much severance the firm is putting aside in 2025, like they did on 2024?

This seems to be dragging on forever.

Good luck on Tuesday and on 2/4, hopefully it’s a small layoff day. It would be nice to see everyone get a bonus and not be clipped on these next two cycles.

Considering moving to IT&V. What is it like these days?

Send a cold mail to C-level. It helps.

Roughly 10% or 20000 employees will be axed in next 6 months.

The latency is getting unreal. 20 seconds to delete an email. 5-20 seconds of delay scrolling in Service Now. It's getting difficult to be efficient and professional when the platform I'm supposed to work on is anything but.
