Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Some of your comments are nothing but discrimination!
Let's hope none of the comments I've read are actual leaders at the bank.
The things employees post are shocking! Employees who make comments like some of you have posted, put Wells Fargo at risk. The bank will be sued and go down. Take some classes in develop you please.

So he wasn’t forced to come into the office and was laid off prior to RTO was forced?

“ He and all workers were working from home at that time. In 2021, as talk of returning to the office increased, Billesdon asked for accommodations in August 2021. That was denied in December 2021 and he was terminated in February 2022, weeks before a mandatory return-to-office for all employees, the suit claims.

no scrimmy scrimmy say I unkle charlie

this is your uncle charlie be glad we let u stay this long you bunch of ggobers....bye bye and love ya dei

I applied for a transfer with existing accomodations since the accommodation is tied to the role not the person, when the time came to transfer my new management denied my current accommodations I escalated the issue now they are claiming they weren't aware I had existing accommodations even though in my LOB there are others with my same title with full WFH. LOB's are attempting to deny full time WFH in an attempt to approve future Full time WFH accommodations saying they only approve part time WFH

People who are trashing this guy either can’t read or can’t comprehend what they read.

For every internal job I've applied and interviewed for (4 total and in final 2 final selection process for each), I've been told, "Our LOB leadership is going to have an issue with your WFH medical accommodation. So...." Within 3 days of that comment, I was Declined in Workday.

Interesting. I thought the medical accommodation was tied to the role, not the LOB leadership.

Blatant discrimination. F WF's DEI BS!

2 of the roles have remote workers for years who filled the roles successfully, but resigned (got new job outside WF) due to location strategy.

How is it that we are 2+ years into this process and there's still employees out there that don't understand why RTO is a "thing? Breaking news guy, the ONLY purpose of RTO and location strat is to produce fake excuses for firing you. That's it, there is no other reason for it. Shart doesn't care if you're in an office or which office, he just wants you gone and he wants PR cover while he does it. It's not a complicated fact pattern, sparky. Follow the bouncing ball:

1. You must RTO.
2. You must work in Building X.
3. You're being fired for being in the wrong building.

I hope you don't do anything important at WF, but whatever you do, you won't be doing it for long anyway.

They should have applied for disability pay if they are that unwell. If they did and Lincoln denied their claim then they were not that sick and could have returned to the office.

I get where you coming from, but people's needs and health do change. This person had obviously worked for WF for a long time, but we don't know this person's health or personal circumstances. People do get sick, people do get cancer, people do get older and what worked for them in the past may no longer suit their current or future needs. I would like to think that if your circumstances or health had changed, you would get grace from your managers or even internet strangers.

Trashy humans raising frivolous lawsuits are trashy. You’re going to have to grasp at a bigger straw than this to rally more hate for Wells Fargo from anyone with a shred of intelligence.

Guy had no problem performing job duties for approximately 20 years. Gets to work from home during COVID. Hears talk of RTO and suddenly he can never go into an office again?

This ambulance chasing ADA case will net a payout, they always do. But jokes on this former employee. The lawyer will get the bulk of it. I really like how the lawyer is playing up the Court of Public Opinion and specifically saying people would not respond to him after he filed his first lawsuit without defining exactly what he was communicating with them about. Why would anyone engage with someone who has raised legal cases? They wouldn’t unless that engagement was categorically work related only.

Disgraceful.

Wells Fargo su-ks.

The article seems to state that he wasn't a remote worker before Covid. Then, he got a taste of remote work and don't come back due to the same disability he's had for decades.

HY: you have to come into the office, so we can say it's the wrong office and fire you for it.

😐

I don't know. WFC is fairly liberal when it comes to accommodations. Anyone can file a lawsuit, so wait for the actual decision.

The company will likely have more of these cases. Remote workers are being discriminated against and management doesn't know how to separate people with needed accommodations protected by ADA from people that are remote because location hiring wasn't so restricted in the past.

I read that story this past weekend. It's really sad & unfair. 😥
