There's one thing I realized about working at WFC. If you want to get promoted to higher levels of management, you have to prove that you have no moral compass and you are more than willing to nod your head in the affirmative at whatever is put on the table. Once that clicked for me, I started looking for a new job.

Don't ever try to go above and beyond, it's not worth it. If you do, you only get punished more.
@ceq+1o0YAJWN Please tell us more. This is interesting
In corporate risk we have a policy against carrying a moral compass. We also have a control to address risk of an employee finding a moral compass accidentally … it has been tested effective by ITV too.
OP,
So right on. It is the reason I quietly quit and waiting for severance.
@ceq+1o0YAJWN So in other words, they lied to you about the role and its potential future to get you into the door.
I have been with WF for 27 years and had the exact same thing happen to me. I was an SVP who accepted a new position within the division I worked for that they said would lead to an EVP role in 18-24 months. Ten months in I quit. I had no idea you had to lie so much at those higher levels. My gut was getting eaten away.
