Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

New Grad Hire, already looking for new jobs.

Hey everyone, I appreciate everyone giving their honest opinions of what’s going on. I’m grateful for this job out of college and the people I work with had been nothing but great to me but I now notice the little details in the background.

Terrible Hub Strats
Wfh going extinct
Layoffs and offshoring to India
Toxic business side (Tech Side had been good to me fortunately)

Without this board, it would had taken longer for me to realize what’s going on. I appreciate you guys and now I know what to do. Apply for other places so I can go out on my own accord.

Most of the program analysts do very little meaningful work, in office or not. If they are completing their assigned work in a timely and accurate manner and then have time to play video games, etc then that is more of a reflection on their manager and the program itself, rather than the individual.

I get that they should always be engaged and looking for additional work, but realistically most of the time they don’t have enough experience to identify opportunities on their own and aren’t being given proper guidance or support from peers or manager. So go ahead, play that video game.

Agree, this is obviously fake based on the repeated other fake postings by this character LOL

Son, I’d yore expecting a school load of work in the corporate world then you’ll be stuck waiting. Corporate life is about balancing your work and life.

As for Wells, if your job is being offshored and you’re in a non-hub, worry. If you’re in a hub, you’re probably fine. Wells generally pays towards the top of the industry. Just make sure your skills are transferable.

...WFH is the only thing standing in the way from brain drain America by H1B and quiet firing.

Op again, yeah I talked to other people who are analysts and a lot pretty much are ready to leave already. It does su-k with this economy but we will find something better.

Also I’m pretty shocked that people think it’s fake, the post that is.

What matters is my work, if my work is good who cares about where I work or what I do during the work day.

I been given nothing but positive remarks during my 6 months here but that’s also with tons of slacking and being a normal fresh grad. I would watch movies, play games, and do normal stuff during the work day once I finish everything which isn’t much.

I don’t care about in person collabs, I care about my loved ones and that includes my dogs. Covid taught that life is too short to grind away and if boomers prefer this lifestyle, I want no part of it.

"I want to be with my dogs, I want to go drop off my girlfriend to work during lunch, I want to wake up late and roll out of bed and be right at work."

😂😂😂 Sure.

The couple boomer trolls that make up 90% of the comments here just want to hear their own opinions regurgitated back at them in the voice of someone pretending to be the worst stereotypes of a younger generation.

I agree to disagree, what you are saying is true in the past before 2014. It makes sense. But it is very different today when most groups are trying to sponsor H1B people. There are always more people than work today in those groups, I see it again and again that older citizens are quiet fired. We are immigration farms and RTO is the only thing standing in the way from brain drain America by H1B and quiet firing.

You're not helping the cost issue by sitting in a building for no reason, you're making it worse. Instead of costing 3x what an Indian employee would cost, now you cost 4x. You think that helps the economics of the situation?!

What people dont understand is that employee salary is the highest input cost to a business. If you can do your work from home then someone from India can probably do it for 75% less or they can have 3 people and still save 25%. So you have a 1 in 3 chance of getting someone who is managed there. I like WFH, I was productive, some are very productive, some are not, just like in the office. When the Zoomers actually have to be accountable for something, like a team of 20 in the US and 50 people in India, you have to meet production and cost forecasts or other deliverables, then you need something and your employees are walking dogs, away for hours on teams with no communication why, and then they are held accountable personally for their team so now this impacts their pay for their mortgages, food for their kids and so on they will change or understand. Again I love WFH but i have observed over the years without some type of oversight most people are not productive. In the office with the manager there, there is really only one thing to which is work.

Well said, but Layoffs and offshoringare in every company I know. Then there is H1b visa. I don't know where to go myself.

Fake post or not, it is 100% accurate of the mindset that young “program analysts” have.. I’ve worked with quite a few over the years, and most have been great but left shortly after their year was up for some combination of the reasons above.

You need to be at a start up for true tech or marketing firm or something then. Definitely not banking or finance.

It's up to your generation to fight for WFH. It's the future, some dinosaurs just don't know it yet. They won't last forever. In the long run we will win the Great RTO War.

Do you mean WFH full time is going extinct? You still get two days which has been a blessing for a lot of us.

Regarding this site, be careful how you interpret the statements. There are just a lot of miserable and resentful people that are very emotional here. Also, keep in mind that the same people represent less than 0.1% of the total population.

A friend's New Grad kid said no-one wants to come here for those reasons. Good for you for finding out & doing something about it!
