I see many posts suggesting that Schart may move on from WF now that the asset cap is lifted. I am skeptical, and think he is likely to stick around.
Why? This accomplishment will justify another raise to his already exorbitant salary. He has already instilled his army of yes-men across the OC and even at 2-3 layers down. Both of these factors may fuel his ego and ability to extend the legacy JPM power trip even further. So why stop now?
It reminds me of Moynihan who was brought in to fix BofA post 2008. Many people thought he would only be around for a few years but he’s still running that bank after 16+ years and shows no signs of slowing down. Could there be a similar dynamic playing out at Wells?
What’s everyone’s thought? Curious how many people actually believe Schart is going to leave soon, and why.
