Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

What you have to look forward to if laid off or leaving

I left Wells already, and am gainfully employed. I was interviewing for another job this week (that I wasn't all that enthusiastic about to begin with) and the interviewer mentioned how great of a company WF was and asked me why I left. First, I laughed out loud and said, I guess we have differing views on what makes a great company don't we. Second, it's employment at will and they don't need a reason to lay you off and thus I don't owe anyone an explanation why I got the F out before I got chain sawed.

Then, I sent him a video of Senator Warren grilling Stumpf and asked him if he thought a good company treats people like that. I don't need nor want their job.

You will have much to look forward to have having the brown skid marks of having this bank on your resume.

I always trash this place. When people say they bank here my immediate response is "I am so sorry". Embrace candor, this place su-ks but I am two years out from retirement so I sit!

Regardless of what you think of the company, it’s not a good idea to trash your former employer during an interview. You’ll just come off as disgruntled. Wanna trash them? Get the new gig first.

Why would anyone talk bad about a former employer to a potential employer?

"Don't call us, we'll call you" former candidate.

@kwm+1qJqPcB2 more like a gaslighting worst-practices interview example. Trolls be trolling in this OP

Sorry you couldn't hack it and Wells Fargo employees thousands of people. Maybe you're part of the problem...

Sounds like having WF on your resume was one of the reasons you got the interview. Not sure what you are arguing for/against here.
