For all kinds of reasons, including wildly unpopular RTO, it's very likely the Wells will begin consolidating campus locations. Which campus will be axed first, and why: Charlotte Minneapolis Des Moines Chandler (other)

Assuming you are of retirement age

Just got word that all non-customer facing employees in DSM are being "consolidated" (crammed) into one building. DSM currently has over 12,000 WF employees. How do they expect to fit that many people into one building? I'm afraid I already know... —  read more 

Surprised not to see this on here yet. I guess it doesn't fit the "I hate Charlie" narrative. Maybe Charlie is finally coming around.

One of the first guys i worked with at the bank was an old Asian guy. He retired 4 years ago, our group even had a retirement party for him. This guy pushed himself, worked 9 hour days, was online over the weekends, didn't take PTO when things were... —  read more

Anyone know how to adjust Federal tax withholding in Workday? More specifically, before Trump changed tax laws we were able to adjust federal exemptions for any given pay period. In turn this adjusted the tax withholding. The reason I ask is... —  read more 

Charlie sounded an awful lot like Stunpf and Sloan in the town hall with “serving customers”, a rerun to the old days upon us?

It seems like everything is shrouded in mystery these days. Basic information is horded and dispensed piecemeal like it’s a gift from the gods. It’s so hard to be able to see the big picture. I used to feel like I knew what was going on and how... —  read more 

Anybody fired for not going in?

Half the bonus as last year and small raise. Suprised I got it at all.

I interviewed for an internal position and was hired at the time I was told that the bonus would be $46,500/~25% by HR (over the phone). I received a Meets on my review just got bonus figured back today and got 20k the explanation give was bonus is... —  read more 

Knowing I'm at risk of being laid off at any time not due to performance but solely because of my location has been very demoralizing for me personally.

If I’m on loa right now, how do I get notified of a layoff? Do they just wait until I’m back, call, email? surgery and just want to know if I should be worried about getting any notifications from management?

I've been informed that bonuses are delayed due a Workday issue. Anyone else experience that issue. HR indicates that it will be paid on 2/17

I don't know many people who are satisfied with their merit raises - if they got one in the first place. I think this is intentional. I think their main goal is to drive attrition to reduce the number of needed layoffs and save money on severance... —  read more 

Raise +1% Bonus .92% of Target Tech Thoughts; Inflation this last year was at least 10% more like 15% so i'm taking a huge 9% to 14 pay cut. I will be looking for new job at another bank or financial. Bing Ling didn't come through and Charlie is... —  read more 

I know Iive in a high cost of living area like new York and as a result I get much less of a merit % increase so those lesser paid folks in places like Des Moines can get more money even though they have better cash flow than I do.

Now that Merit raise time is behind us. Are we going to get the 5 percent and/or rsr’s? Does anyone have insight on this? I was thinking with all of the talk of people leaving after getting their bonus that this may be the companies response to keep... —  read more 

Has anyone heard any rumors of layoffs for tomorrow? I know they are coming just trying to brace myself

Sincerely, Every one of us

Mr. Schart, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely id--tic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is... —  read more 

Received my compensation numbers. More than expected actually. Good bonus and good merit increase. Layoffs are still in the back of my head. My dept is extremely slow right now. We are basically not doing anything and we’re just waiting to start on... —  read more 

I busted my azz at WF for years and got Meets and Exceeds and still got 1-2% raises, far less than I deserved for doing a good job. For those of you who didn't "meet the bar" and got below Meets, and no raise, go find another job. For those of you... —  read more 

So the bar was raised to make Meets and anyone in Nadeems org who received an inconsistently meets received NO raise. What a crock. I hope WF gets blasted in the media for not giving raises during super inflation. No one will come here if it gets... —  read more 

I moved into my role early 2022. I was told by my manager it was a company decision to not give a merit increase to people who took a new role in 2022. They said the department has no control over it. Is anyone else hearing this same thing or am I... —  read more 

Technology, 2.9%, $1000 more than last year

Don’t tell me anyone is surprised by this: https://www.dailydot.com/irl/32-dollars-an-hour-dairy-queen/?amp

Any thoughts on the agenda or tough questions to ask?

Curious to know how many received an increase as a result of an "Equity Review"???

Expect to hear from your manager this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

Honestly, I would. I got a solid bonus last year (mid 30K). I have no idea what my bonus will be this year (got a Meets), but if I was given the choice of 1) a bonus, or 2) not being laid off this year, I'd take option 2. Too much anxiety about... —  read more
