Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

It took Wells Fargo nearly 8 months to act on r@pe allegation

This is the new bar - for something as serious as employee on employee r@pe.

Almost a year.

In the meantime, the bank allowed this poor woman be subject to continued harassment.

Wells Fargo “did close to nothing to actually investigate” the ra-e allegation, the lawsuit alleges. The bank also failed to probe her complains of se-ual harassment, it was alleged.

Consider this next time you have a manager issue or situation that needs you to call the ethics line for some reason.

Employee concerns - including r@pe - are non-issues to Wells Fargo.

"Doe says Wells Fargo did not begin its internal investigation in earnest until she made a formal charge with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in April 2021, five months after her internal complaint to the company. "

“Our client was taken advantage of and ra--d by a superior, suffering trauma, betrayal, and an utter invasion of personal space that no one should be subjected to in any workplace,” the plaintiff’s attorney, Ron Zambrano of West Coast Trial Lawyers, said in a statement. “Wells Fargo’s response, just sitting on their hands and dragging their feet not even attempting to conduct a competent investigation, is absolutely unacceptable.”

Wells Fargo management thinks they can get away with mu---r - or at least r@pe...because they can.

I wonder if a manager shot an employee if that would be investigated either.

Bakersfield an office with several bad FA’s I tried to get managers to deal with before I quit in 2019 they should have dealt with these shady jerks then !!!!! But no. Go after them. I managed from afar but i can bet who it was!

I "raised my hand" when my group was doing something shady. Not only was I not given a ticker tape parade but I was then harassed by my management. I filed the proper retaliation claim and it was promptly swept under the rug.

I was informed to "trust them" that they looked into it and everything was peachy. They would not even help me understand what they had done nor would they confirm they spoke to the THREE people who left the bank due to the harrassment. Nope all in our heads.

Next time I will simply just go to the feds. I am sure there will be a next because this place sucks. Counting down to retirement o

And why is the wf response yesterday saying they just found out about the lawsuit so they are looking into it. That makes us sound worse. They knew the employment agencies that were made aware and investigating months ago. What did they think was going to happen next—she would give up and go away like most other women? There should 2nd, 3rd, 4th review of employee complaints. Or maybe all employee complaints should be shared internally across the company like survey results! That would put an end to all of this nonsense. More Transparency

It's wild how the article says it isn't clear if he is still employed by the bank. Dude is green in Skype right now.

It's true though. Had he been better looking to you, you wouldn't have complained.

Why do you think RTO is being pushed so hard? Creepers need victims in-office. Profile pics don't get it done.

We had a guy in our department whom at least 5 women complained about for years for persistent creepy behavior which made us feel uncomfortable such as highly inappropriate comments and touching, persistent staring at breasts, brushing up against us etc.

Our male manager accused us of “ganging up on him” and said that “we wouldn’t mind the attention if he was better looking”. True story.

I can’t remember the exact details, but wasn’t there a story several years back where 8 women accused a higher-up of inappropriate behavior and se-ual harassment. Wells Fargo allowed him to retire and walk away with his dignity and all his benefits and stock options etc rather than firing him.

Those at the top of the WFC hierarchy protect their own,

Can someone stay employed with multiple harassment complaints? How many does it take to get fired. Maybe I’m naive but I thought 1. Every woman in this company deserves an answer. This is beyond disturbing

Former Potus filed 60+ lawsuits on his stolen election dream so filing a lawsuit doesn't take proof.

I hope she has some sort of proof. She must, or she would have a hard time finding a lawyer to take the case.

So, no articles I have seen mention how much jail time the accused received for this crime? Was he ever charged? Or is it just that nearly 3 years later WF looks like the deep pockets an attorney saw.

The Bakersfield news report indicates during the eeoc investigation it was found that wf had other women who also complained about him.

Just imagine How many layoffs and lawsuits could have been averted if employee escalations were taken seriously.
