Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

@1udc, maybe you get new managers placed above us because they're better at writing meaningful sentences.

My own three years have gone like this . Despite being highly qualified, and hear this - being a diverse candidate, I get new managers ‘placed’ above us. Unqualified or under qualified , it mainly a case of who they know , not what they do. A few years from now, I foresee Wells paying a giant $500 Million fine and reparations to eligible candidates who were disadvantaged by willful discrimination.

Used to be more of a meritocracy, now idocracy. I say get out now before it gets even worse.

Two words - Internal Placement.

Happens way too much in the company and allows the hiring manager to essentially just pick whoever they want for a position, no interview, nothing, just here’s your new position and a nice raise.

This is the way.

Our hiring process is notoriously unfair.

This is the way.

Do yourself a favor and start looking externally. It isn't going to get any better here. In fact, it's likely to get a whole lot worse.

@OP+1gmF4Yfy I feel you!!
Not all, but A LOT of mgrs are slippery--there's definitely favoritism. HR will point the finger at mgr and mgr will point back at HR--which means no one will tell you the truth. This process has become the norm now at WF.
Venting feels good, but you'll need to decide if you stay or go.

If the new manager followed the due process in hiring then you do not have a case

Seriously?
What makes you think you have an HR issue? Because your feelings were hurt? Your old manager left, then the new manager hired who they wanted. Thats the way it goes. End of story.
You already answered your question on leaving or staying.

Wells Fargo is a Who You Know company and not What You Know company. Just su-ks, but is reality. All the replacements in my area were Indian hired by an Indian. Guess HR is ok with this. Hand writing is on the wall.
