So we just heard that the cyber person we have worked with for years, someone who knows his stuff and the company very well is being replaced by someone with only a couple years of experience, someone who doesn't know the company and surprisingly is being hired into a higher level than the guy WF let go. How does this make sense?

Cybersecurity top to bottom is the worst organization in the company. The management is unfit, hires the wrong people and knows little about cybersecurity. I used to work there till last year when the head of Cs after hearing a junior manager was misbehaving did nothing. Nothing.
new guy is highly skilled with h1b.
That is how I was replaced. Can't sue if we are poor.
Just another scheme to tank morale. The executives actually want our domestic operations to fail. It makes it easier to justify replacing us all with contractors and foreigners regardless of the risks or cost.
Don't worry, your data is safe in India.
Charlie views his job as crushing water from a stone.
Same in our area. They laid off the ONE long-term employee who could answer questions, or at minimum, point us in the right direction. Our manager is unavailable 90% of the time. We deal with a lot of risk, the systems are ancient, and It’s going to cost the bank a lot of money at some point.
Because the cloud is supposed to handle cybersecurity for the bank. The biggest selling point for the cloud is outsourcing many "expensive" IT roles to the cloud provider.
It's significantly more expensive by any other metric.
As a fairly long time employee it annoys the he-l out of me when they hire people at high levels that don't know jack sh*t about the company, our systems or how/why things are they way they are. And they're not as skilled as their level would suggest.
Probably because they were paying the other guy 120k and this new guy is only making 80k.
Let me guess, new guy is from Chase.
It's Wells Fargo, that's how it makes sense. Everything is in reverse.
