Why do so many people today think they are "owed" something from an employer. Show up, do your job and you get paid. If they lay you off, don't cry and ask for more. Put on your big boy and girl pants and go get another job. Entitlement and inaccurate expectations and ruining todays workforce.

A bully free zone? Grow some ba--s or ti-s and dont be bullied
Hey, very nice Troll, Charlie. Or maybe it's a real-life Dwight Schrute windbag -- thank you for your Pontificating Utter-Nonsense.
Not in that generation but the comment on “ buy a house on minimum wage in 1978” is blatantly false. Go look it up. Now in some states I saw the above be true in 2011 and 2019.
@OP Your father can always go back to working in the mines. Just because your sweat shop is lined with cubicles doesn't mean your better off.
lol, bitter much? Breaking news, some day you and your "ideas" will be forgotten also, so join the club. I know you got the participation trophy, but you aren't special and no one really cares what you think just because you're young either.
Your Mom owes me….ALOT
I genuinely wonder what @OP means when they say ruining the workforce, with what them existing in the same world as you? It seems they agree in a basic employer contract of labor for money, just a question how far back their idealized version of a workplace contract goes. Fair labor for fair pay? Child labor?
Lot less government in 1978. Amazing how the more it grows, the worse things get, and yet people keep calling for even more of it.
Hey boomer, your generation allowed you to buy a house on minimum wage in 1978. Just because you're retired now living your best life, doesn't mean the rest of us have to just accept things as they are.
Spoken like someone who has led an incredibly sheltered life full of unicorns and rainbows.

Your claim that employees are “entitled” to expect fair treatment is pure gaslighting, likely from HR or management, dismissing the real pain in Wells Fargo’s “fearful bank.” Psychological safety isn’t a handout—it’s an ethical must and a business win, even for non-creative roles like customer service. Amy Edmondson’s The Fearless Organization shows this at Pixar, where safe teams openly critiqued Toy Story 2, saving the film and driving success. Unlike Wells Fargo’s toxic culture, Pixar’s trust boosted performance. The Agile Alliance confirms safe teams, creative or not, collaborate better, cutting errors and boosting efficiency (https://www.agilealliance.org/resources/experience-reports/cultivating-psychological-safety-in-agile-teams/).
Saying “all companies are like this” or “just get another job” normalizes bullying, inaccurate reviews, and layoff fears (per @a2)
echoing the 2016 account scandal’s abuse, now hitting employees. This rhetoric pits workers against each other, ki-ling the “team” spirit—replaced by “do your job” individualism, and mirrors “wagile” team-against-team tactics. Ethically, Wells Fargo owes safety for employees’ loyalty. Profitably, safe teams, like Pixar’s, save billions lost to scandals and turnover.
Bridget Engle might push tech forward, but her offshoring focus (https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1rOZaSra) won’t fix this culture. The Columbus hub could help tech teams, but non-creative roles need bank-wide change. Don’t buy the gaslighting—HR, AI readers and lawyers watch this board. Document abuse anonymously, join Wells Fargo Workers United, or file EEOC complaints. Share stories online, but stay safe. Read The Fearless Organization to spot red flags and find employers who value real teams. My mission is fearless workplaces—let’s expose this abuse and rebuild trust together.
This mentality started early on with No Child Left Behind and everybody gets a trophy. No one knows how to lose or overcome adversity anymore unless they played a sport competitively.
That’s right, show up and do your job BUT do not go above and beyond by working extra hours and weekends. F that
Someone's adolescent from Hudson Yard's got access to their parent's computer.
Nobody is forcing you to come to this site and read complaints. Grow up.
@a2 you need to look for another job.
Is this Jamie or Charlie?
loyalty, integrity and ethics is what wf expects from us, wf should do the same… i’m an OG over 25 years now and before the many mergers it was like that but now it’s a trash ceo with trash integirty
i have made peace with it and will just wait for my 16 months of severance
OP is fun at parties.
(Just kidding. OP never gets invited, hence his bootlicking.)
An employer is duty bound to provide a harassment free zone, a bullying free zone, accurate performance reviews without arbitrary and unproven or false negative items added, support, training, cooperation and feedback. Also, should provide zero tolerance for health & safety hazards in the workplace, particularly psychological or personal safety related.
