Just putting it out there, the term was 100% used before Charlie at WF regularly. Maybe not in the business or function this person/these people support, but it’s very common, especially in parts of the business where we are primarily transacting out of other legal entities besides “the bank”.

Yes yes, somehow my responses suggest I'm obsessed over it, but your repeated posts suggest you're not. All I'm doing is refusing to allow the narrative of Charlie gargling clowns to go unanswered. Charles is the one calling people cultists and demanding that specific words be replaced in company publications for no reason. But by all means, tell us the business need for implementing the change to company documents. Justify the expense by showing real world and tangible potential benefits, value for shareholders or customers etc.
Lol, hallucinates some more posting conspiracies, claims “i suggested that someone would be a mo--n for wasting a second thought on it” after whining about an innocuous word online for the nth time, and then spells it pannick…
Now I get why you’re so intimidated by the prospect of expanding your vocabulary 😂😂😂
lol, apoplectic huh? Says the guy who pannick posts 3 times in a row like he was different people. Charles, is that you? Do us a favor and look up the word "imagine" for us. I didn't say it happened, I suggested that someone would be a mo--n for wasting a second thought on it. If Shart and others dropped it here and there in casual conversation, no one would care, but that's not what happened. We didn't make it a "big deal", he did. The fact that no one used it prior was probably one reason why he described this place as a "cult". After all, isn't everyone that doesn't prefer the word in a cult? Pretty sure they are.

What evidence do you have that this inconsequential move came at the expense of another to fix this place?
You concocted this strange little straw man scenario to own the voices in your head.
For the record, I don’t care either way. It’s standard in this business, but I guess I don’t have whatever neurological issues that drive someone to go apoplectic when they see a word they don’t like.
Can’t even say “the firm” without the snowflake language police getting their pa-ties in a twist about it. Words can’t hurt you dearie
@xmt+1rugwvqf Apparently it is controversial…in the lunatic community, given you’re here ranting about it yet again 😂 Nobody gives a sh-t about this outside a deranged troll on a layoff board no one reads.
What evidence do you have that that’s the only proposal he had for the bank? Why do you even think he personally pushed for it at all? Companies are allowed to make these minor changes to their language and image. It happens all the time, and the fact that you’re so obsessed with it and inappropriately apply this myopic cost/benefit logic to it shows why you’re the hayseed threatened by any minuscule change and he’s the CEO.
It's not "controversial", it's just a COMPLETE waste of time. This company is going straight into the S-er, and that's what the higher ups are thinking about? FFS.
Imagine you go meet them board of a major bank for an interview to be the new CEO. They ask you what your short term plan is, and your response is "well, first of all, we need to start calling it "the firm" around three water cooler and in internal communications, amiright?!"
😑
You would not be hired, and for good cause.
The Failure
Very good movie, but even better book.
WF is a sh---y bank if that’s your question OP. Not sure what you’re getting at.
Yeah this isn’t remotely controversial in the real world lol
It’s very telling that the people on here who obsess over it also use it to invoke paranoid conspiracies.
Investors and employees who deal with high net worth clients seem to use the term most frequently, IMO.
I don’t particularity like the term but I’m also not working with high net worth clients and I’m a short term investor and certainly don’t have a high net worth WF outside of my 401k.
- JPM resume secret handshake
- Cult deprogramming from “Team/Company”, only to reprogram us to “Well Life”.
Anyone who uses the firm is NYC or someone relatively new to wf. Not a legacy person. Essentially, all the people who have ruined the culture of this company
"tu-d-ville?"
Very common term in this industry. It’s weird how much insecurity it seems to provoke here, but I guess people aren’t as tough as the image they like to project
Totally normal. The fixation on it that one troll has just goes to show how bad the brain drain has gotten here
The pitching tent
Pretentious
