Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Aug 19 - WF reinstates DIE hiring practices

I’m sure they’ve came up with more or less bulletproof to not hire candidates that fit the job requirements to promote woke crowd.

…and then after they tore up and re-aligned… I mean mis-aligned…teams, all in the name of having at least 7 direct reports, just fast forward a year or two, and now everything is out of whack and no one seems to care. There are multiple managers in our group with less than 7 directs now (counting open positions) but no one is re-evaluating who has 7, who doesn’t, and what even makes sense. Spans and Layers was just a one-time project to find a way to eliminate a bunch of positions across the company…er…firm…but means nothing any more, and only left a ridiculous mess to clean up.

My no diverse coworkers are very behind in processes and tech, most don't even know how to use Excel properly. I guess that's why us non-english speakers are needed.

Not hiring the best person for the position regardless of anything just hurts the company. Do this long enough and the company will fold. I don't care who you are or where you're from, if you're the best person for the job, you got it. Hiring someone solely based on their skin color is ridiculous.

Case in point. Another inexperienced female who checks the diversity box and has stepped on heads to climb the “process engineer” ladder. So glad I left that train wreck Wells Fargo virtue signaling and sometimes banking corporation. https://stocks.apple.com/Av7wLJY49RnGh0_PpJVVl-A

In breaking news that bigots haven't got yet, everyone is diverse.

As I read the confusing communication I was unable to see any benefit the program will have for WF other than make the hiring process even more difficult for hiring managers and recruiters. When I look around the cafeteria I see plenty of closed networks of black, asian and Indian employees all sitting together. These policies divide rather than unite.

What happens if you are only interviewing 3 people?

I guess they have to throw white dude in the final third slot. Cant have 2/3rds white dudes.

You know this will end with a law firm winning a massive settlement at some unspecified period in the future.

Leave it to Wells Fargo legal to leave us exposed. They did with compliance. They did it will sales practice.

Let’s just watch this unfold. Might take 5 years but it’s coming... if the bank can actually last 5 years without being broken up

I know of no s-x or race that is discriminated against so badly that protections are needed. Please hire just on the basis of qualifications. We are not in the 1950s or the 1850s.

Nothing at Wells Fargo is bulletproof, or without the ability to be manipulated. C-Suite and HR are so out-of-touch that they are the LAST group of people who should be fine tuning, or clarifying anything.

Need an example?

Look at all the malarkey that has gone on with Charlie’s “reorganization” requiring each manager to have no less than 7 direct reports. It’s laughable what has happened in our office. Our managers just moved people around in ridiculous ways that make no sense. Entry - level people are reporting to Senior Managing Directors who don’t even know their names. Not one manager lost their job. HR none the wiser.

Women count as diverse and are 50% of the population, so shouldn't be that hard.

I like the new acronym.

If you read the details, it's still just as bad. 50% of candidates interviewed need to be diverse? So, basically, we Jay need some bodies? I thought that was the issue?

Also, this thing about needing a diverse person in the interview process as well? What if you are on a team of two and you both are not diverse? I guess throw some random black guy a few bucks to take a meeting?

What a load of garbage

Maybe they'll replace you with a POC who can actually construct a sentence.
