It's Soooo Good To Be Gone

I left WF recently and it's good to be gone! I still peruse this site every now and then to remind myself how good I have it now. Nothing has changed, still lots of fed up employees, bad management, terrible leadership. They want YOU to QUIT! That means more attrition and less severance, more profits for the executives.

What a joke this place is, but if you stay it's your fault. It took me over a year to come to the realization it was time to move on, then I did. No regrets.

Worst leadership I ever worked with or for. A bunch of hypocrites basically, they say one thing and do another. They live by one set of rules, and expect others to live by another set. Just like Scarf didn't want to relocate to SF HQ but many others are having to do long commutes or relocate to keep their jobs. No thanks. My mental health is better now that I'm gone, working for hypocrites was terrible for it. My previous boss was asking everyone she hired to move to a hub while I found out she was allowed to remain in a non-hub city while asking others to uproot at their expense, but unwilling to make the same sacrifice herself, she was a C U Next Tuesday. What a joke it was working for serial narcissists who only think about what is good for them.

I will forever despite this company for as long as I live.

I'm right behind you and can't wait. The opportunity cost of staying is too great. There are many places that don't treat employees like this and that ARE healthy. I want this nightmare in my rearview mirror and know it will take a long time to get over how toxic WF has been.

Congrats! I moved in too and I am finally learning and building with new technology again.

Staying in a company that doesnt want you for an unpromised bonus is like staying in an abusive marriage hoping someday they will love you again.

Move on

I recently left WF for a different company. It's like night and day culture and morale wise. I was at WF for a good 5 almost 6 years - it started off well but quickly turned and went downhill along with the unveiling of all the scandals.
After a couple years, I was ashamed to tell people I worked for the company and I still am (especially when introducing myself to my new coworkers).
I'm tempted just to leave the "Wells Fargo" part out all together.

The new company actually makes me feel valued. It's quite refreshing, as I haven't had this in a while... even before WF. It's actually a bit foreign and strange to me but I'll take it any day over the nonsense I experienced at WF. It wasn't even my immediate group so much as it was the leadership that made it feel like I was constantly in a "hostile" workplace. When your CEO tells you that one of the ways in which he wants to reduce overhead and increase the bottom line is through "promoting attrition," you know things have taken a turn for the worst... you can't really backpedal after making or alluding to those kinds of initiatives because everyone now knows why you're the CEO.

Anyway, I hope all of you who are looking will be able to get out sooner than later.

Definitely a bunch of serial narcissists - from the top down.
