Why is he stuck in 1950? Why is he pro office butts in seats when dumping his office space at Hudson Yards would save a small fortune? Why is he determined to manipulate WFC stock while destroying the company and running away with his ill-gotten gains?

The fatal flaw in your comment is that it seems you think Wells is a successful company? Really? Successful for whom, removing shareholders?
"Once all of the boomers and older gen x retire many successful companies will have to just shut down. Because what will be left will be a bunch of lazy , me first crybabies that play with their phones all day and have little or no work ethic."
I am 52 , so definitely mid to older Gen X. I don't understand why some people on this site have such animosity for Millennials and Gen Z. The future of the bank will be in their hands, whether we like it or not. And as for the perception that those folks don't work, it may just be a matter of our generations' WARPED perception of what we owe to our job. At no age should we put our job before all other things in our life. I think the younger folks see this more clearly. Plus, I left the bank in 2021 and found the older leadership as COMPLETELY SCLEROTIC. You got ahead if you never questioned - even constructively - the infallability of SVPs and above. The first 25 years of my career were fully influenced by this type of thinking plus the wholly selfish, myopic, and sociopathic ethos espoused by Milton Friedman, who believed that the only stakeholders that matter are shareholders. We have lived through multiple corporate disasters in the US, including at Wells, by such willful shortsightedness.
PS - I got a better job with better pay and the leadership here is remarkably different, in a good way, from the selfish and self-aggrandizing "leadership" at WF at the SVP / EVP level and above.
No, once all the boomers and older gen x retire work will be a thing of the past. The coddled generations aren’t prepared for real work.
So working from home is the great technological leap into the 22nd century? Sounds more like the lardite that doesn't want to get out of their chair.
You got it wrong, once the antiquated ancients are out business will finally step into the 22nd century. You Luddites are holding it back with all your might.

Once all the boomers and older gen x retire. Working at an office will be a thing of the past.
Chainsaw Charlie's job is to bring in his people, rank everyone existing, eliminate the people no one likes, reorganize them, rinse, repeat. That's what he's done at every one of his stops, and when he's done, he'll be hired to do the exact same thing at his next company.
