I’m plan on accepting a new remote position from a competitor but staying on WF until I get my severance. How would they find out?

With your ethics, please just leave.
WF may need permission to view any employee information [outside of Wells Fargo].
Maybe join as a 1099 ?
If you dont tell the new firm you may lose that job too.
Simple solution. Take the lump sum payout. Start next job whenever you feel like.
This has been discussed before. There a service from Equifax that shows a ton of your employee info including salary, benefits etc. if you don’t freeze your data wells could find out.
So freeze your data or just don’t start a new job until your severance starts.
Go for it. This place is so nonsensical and can’t keep anything straight. Take care of you and F WF! Id--ts.
You can freeze your Work Number record and not all employers use them anyway. So indulging in the mental exercise… how does either employer find out?
I would have to know if they ran a background/employment check on me but they never have in my 15years.
Do they do it in compliance some how?
I don’t think they would know. How would they?
The work number will know and so will adp if the other company uses them for payroll . If you want that severance, wait the 60 days to start.
Are you able to start the position after your 60 day? Is the severance that good? May be worth it to just bounce.
LexisNexis will know and WF just has to ask them. You can freeze your account, but it doesn’t do what folks think it does.
That being said, I would let it slow me down.
