Location strategy
Remote engineers are panicking. The organization has become a Hollywood movie industry. Everyday you see remote folks pretend hardworking. Email flooding with no significance. Folks continue pretending and faking.
Tech hits coming Oct & Jan
To all of my tech brothers and sisters, do not despair. You have location strategy coming plus maybe a bonus round in January. Hang in and make them pay!
Why not improve management instead of having high turnover of people?
I know hiring and firing is the easiest way. But this whole place is such a mess, with so many needless procedures and paperwork, barely competent mid management (who also love to breathe down our necks as if they have nothing better to do - which... — read more
Email from Bridget’s on Tuesday

High focus on reducing costs
Is there really no other way Charlie can think of to improve our numbers? Is he really a one-trick pony who only knows how to get rid of people to make the numbers look good for a quarter and then he keeps repeating the same move over and over again?... — read more
Hagerman off to be CIO at Truist
Well just made the press. Or I just read it. Good for him , since he wasn’t given an opportunity here it’s good he got a CIO role elsewhere. Hopefully Truist isn’t so bad that it churns and spits him out. I am sure there are folks he will take... — read more

WEC 8/20 notices?
Anyone?
Beware: Wells is actively targeting older employees who have been here for a long time...
There are no explicit directives. That would be illegal. They do, however, measure managers and orgs by tenure and seniority. Targets are set lower to drive behavior. It’s been this way for years. It’s hard to eliminate someone for cause. But it’s... — read more

Which Charlotte locations will close?
It's not a secret that the company is trying to whittle things down to just one large admin building / campus per hub. The head of CPG has talked about it on town halls. If that's the case, what's the last building standing in Charlotte? CIC?

US Social Security
Employees in countries like India do not pay into the U.S. Social Security system.
Overall headcount 227k Q323 to 223k Q224
That’s not a big change. The Q423 severance provision for 2024 layoffs was $750MM up to $1B. Maybe the decrease will be more pronounced by Q424. Does the headcount includes offshore? If so, that means you can’t really correlate the headcount changes... — read more

How much cheaper is it to staff in India?
I know there would be a range due to job type and domestic location. And perhaps whether you’re comparing direct compensation and benefits or more fully loaded. But any real anecdotes about % savings would be informative.
CIB cuts
Were there cuts in CIB this week or the week prior? Either front office or risk/ support ? Seeing a lot more names “ZZed” in outlook recently

Pluralsight
Does anyone know if we still get access to Pluralsight during the 60-day notice period? It would be nice to do some upskilling when I've got a bunch of free time on my hands.
Why not quit?
You know that you're going to get fired. You know that you'll never move up in the company. Your procedures are changing to make you stressed. You don't get paid that much. There are much better jobs out there. Just quit.
