The true bloat at Wells Fargo is our extremely overpaid do-little senior management and above, not the people on the front lines who are actually doing the work.
Our department has three Managing Directors who rarely came out of their corner offices pre-Covid, and never come in to the office now. They don’t know the work, they can’t do the work, they can’t answer a question, they don’t know enough to prevent a crisis, they can’t help during a crisis, they don’t plan ahead for looming problems, they can’t problem-solve, they don’t understand the systems and their limitations, they don’t know the regulatory issues. And these are the people we keep and pay Multi- Millions of $ per year,to, but we have to get rid of the $35,000 back office employee?? Please.
