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)
What is the difference between retir38ement and resignation?
Assuming you are of retirement age
Consolidation in Des Moines
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
Charlie not taking a raise
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.
Sad Story
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

Bonus Income Tax Withholding
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
Back to serving customers
Charlie sounded an awful lot like Stunpf and Sloan in the town hall with “serving customers”, a rerun to the old days upon us?
Is it just my dept or has this company become less transparent?
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?

Who else here is in a non-hub location with no career mobility?
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.
Lay off on loa?
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?
Bonus Delay
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

The goal is to drive attrition
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

area 000 gets screwed again
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.
5 percent increase
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

No merit increase due to taking a new role.

Would you give up your bonus in exchange for a guarantee not to be laid off?
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
