Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Y’all are delusional. Every major bank got a significant workforce in India and other 3rd world countries. This is not new nor exclusive to WF. If you’re afraid your job is going overseas, then upskill yourself. I don’t feel bad at all for those who sat on their butt for 20 years pressing the exact same buttons on the keyboard

Your post hits hard, exposing the real cost of Wells Fargo’s offshoring—not just jobs, but team trust and morale. The fear and anger at offshore teams, especially Indian ones, is real, but let’s redirect that to management’s abusive tactics. Forcing ICs to train offshore replacements, as many have experienced, breeds fear of job loss and breaks team coherence, fueling the “fearful bank” you’re describing. This isn’t about offshore workers; it’s about leadership’s unethical choices, echoing the 2016 account scandal’s pressure cooker, now targeting teams through “wagile” and offshoring.
The Agile Alliance says psychological safety is key for agile teams to collaborate (https://www.agilealliance.org/resources/experience-reports/cultivating-psychological-safety-in-agile-teams/), but offshoring pits onshore against offshore teams, just like managers pit teams against each other. The “team” is gone—replaced by “us vs. them” mistrust. Amy Edmondson’s The Fearless Organization calls this a “fearful organization,” where fear ki-ls innovation. Gaslighting posts, like those blaming U.S. workers or saying “all companies are like this,” are likely HR or management dodging accountability—don’t fall for it.
Bridget Engle might integrate offshore teams better, but posts doubt her, citing offshoring obsession (https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1rOZaSra). The Columbus, OH, hub could model team unity, but if it’s a cost-cutting stunt, it won’t fix this. My mission is fearless workplaces, and I’m with you—document everything, but stay anonymous; HR and lawyers are watching. Join Wells Fargo Workers United or file EEOC complaints anonymously. Share stories online, but stay safe. Read The Fearless Organization to spot the real issue: management’s abuse, not offshore teams. Let’s rebuild real teams elsewhere.

It is what globalists want in order to impoverish the developed countries. This will bring the entire world quickly to their dream of “you will own nothing and be happy.”

Since WF was the last to this outsourcing game, behind JPM, Citi, GS, MS we get the worst. Bad timing.

Wait until all of those boomers discover that offshore employees don’t pay into FICA so their Social Security payments will end.

I have lived overseas, and our outsourcing is a disaster. In a business environment in the US it's not an outrageous expectation to speak intelligible English. If I moved to Cambodia and got a job at a bank, they'd expect me to speak passable Khmer. Would they be racist for demanding I be able to do that? No, not really. Being able to speak lots of languages is very impressive to me personally, but what the bank needs is for people to share 1 at work so they can function as a group.

@bg+1jvpy667z

Yes. The ICs don't seem to understand that we are fully aware that if our people "go", WE go. The people on this forum that continuously try to drive a wedge between ICs and managers are ridiculous. Shart and his minions in HY are coming for ALL of us.

Why do most of the people on this site think that all managers love this huge transition to India? 90% of managers feel just like everyone else. They just have to tow the line as sh-t rolls downhill.

"ritious" is wild lmao

@af+1jvpy667z Exactly. They got so distracted by the R’s DEI ragebait they elected the foxes to guard the h-nhouse. Enjoy what you voted for, dipsh-ts lol

The same people pushing to offshore out of their own country are the same people who dislike their own kind and are caught up in DEI stuff and vote that way too. Obviously m they’ve ruined the country for a generation of their own kids.

@ad+1jvpy667z Come back to our country when you can speak the language.

Young folks in US are not technically savy. They don't want to learn the art of system architecture, design, coding and testing. They don't want to be managed -- all of them want to be John Wayne cowboy. They put systems together so hastily that we have to fix them. They are always taking credit for what we do. Makes sense cause they get the bonses -- not us. Don't know why they don't like us. So you can bi--h all you want -- expect all to be handed to you on a silver platter but in the end we will prevail. ILM (I lives matter).

But that's what we should expect in countries where the average IQ is 82.

ritious

@a5, exactly. Most companies found that out in the 90's.
The worst part is the leaders of these corporations think they're so ritious then move jobs to countries that treat women and g-ys like second class citizens and have a million slaves TODAY! But that's what we should expect in countries where the average IQ is 82.

Globalization is dead. It will not unwind over night. Human services much faster than manufacturing.

A global work force can only TRULY work if it were homogenous. Heterogeneity and diversity fails. We all know that intuitive and intellectually. Any kind of team, army, corporation must be fully united in cause, values, culture, etc. in order to be TRULY successful.

Offshoring is a band-aid. It allows corporations to limp along month-to-month/quarter-to-quarter temporarily. It's not long-term. It cannot be. This will come full circle again.

The people at the top are not that smart. It's a sad and unfortunate reality. They cannot see beyond the length of their arms. They exist in "fire drill" mode. Going from fire to fire playing whack-a-mole. They live paycheck-to-paycheck. Some may make it out alive and retire. Others not so lucky.

For the rest of us that do actual work: live simple. live good. keep up your skills. We'll be fine.
