Signing a release for severance?
To anyone that has actually signed a release for a ‘package’. I am guessing that a release needs to be signed for severance to be paid? Does that preclude the employee from filing any and all lawsuits post signing? Key words is “all”. For instance... — read more

Are they serious about raises???

Non-Branch Unions Poll
What are your thoughts regarding Non-Branch Unions? I know this is not scientific but I'd be curous to see if (at least the TLO users here) would feel OK if we were to see some unionizing on a non-branch level. I know there are pros and cons but... — read more
It’s not getting better

Job market improving?
I started sending out resumes a couple of months ago. First few months - nothing. What few offers I got were not worth considering. In the last two weeks I started getting quite a few replies. Is this accidental, or is the market really improving?... — read more

At this point they might as well change the name from Wells Fargo

12/10 layoffs
Tech not affected much, that was a false alarm. Looks like a out 30 layoffs in that group. COO hit the hardest, as usual, with around 400 axed. A little over 600 WF employees total were downsized. Merry Fing Christmas. Looks like 80-90 people in... — read more

Difference between claim denial and layoffs
Both of these pad the pockets of the business. I see no difference in the two. Both are dishonest and negatively affect the client/employee. People should take note of this
Innslake Consolidation

Eliminate the ESG and DEI Programs

Lousy workplace

Tech relocation
My LOB is moving to tech. My previous lob allowed relocation if you are outside of core location, does technology offer this as well or will I just randomly get laid off one day?
Now what?
So now that management has announced they are leaving your State and layoffs are on the near horizon. What are your days like now while you wait? Are you looking for work, or waiting to cash out then look?
Do direct managers pick whom to layoff?
Who decides specific candidate to layoff in a team? . Is it your direct manager/director or above?. Hard and honest work is not valued at WF. Most of the middle management needs to go, they are good for nothing. They are pure trash.
