I have a question. I was part of a reorg where my US based team will now be lead by a manager in India. A. Is this happening to anyone else? I presume this isn't promising for our future. B. My direct manager is still in the US, however the org... — read more
Vacation payout
When One gets laid off or fired, they receive their PTO… Is this PTO taxed just like regular income or do they apply a special kind of tax, such as like they do with bonuses… Or, better yet, do they apply no tax?
Execs need to read the room
I don’t care what your favorite dessert is or what your summer vacation plans are. Read the f’ing room. I’m too busy trying to figure out how I’m going to keep a roof over my head if I get laid off to care that you road your bike in Italy. The water... — read more
Triathlon
Seriously one very top level executive is into triathlons. That is heavy commitment. I know since am in that space. It is virtually impossible unless you are almost full-time. This is a shame that CEO is ignoring this.
Thank you anons

Mid Year Reviews?
Are these happening? Saw a post recently that said they were not. It’s May 1 and my manager has not said anything about my team’s mid year review either. Nothing to document in workday either. No one on my team knows what’s going on.
ECRL Skill Based Pay Program
…and it starts TODAY! Thoughts? Seems like another avenue to push employees out the door. There was no fanfare or advanced notifications about this and every time they try and hype it up like it’s a good thing, it turns out being another ruse to... — read more

May is mental health month
The continued tightening of the sc--ws at the office is the thing that is giving me anxiety. The out of nowhere lay offs and lack of control. Funny that we have a bunch of mental health resources when it’s actually choices leadership made that is... — read more
You can’t be a working mom at Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo has made it clear moms have no place working here. Which is fine - we’ll just find jobs that allow us to be the primary parent and pick our kids up before dark. I can’t wait to get out.
What's the deal with the Employee Survey?
I've been here for more than a few years... I have NEVER seen any meaningful change from these surveys. I also have never had the results sent to me (only managers get it?). As a lowly employee, we get the watered down PowerPoint that management puts... — read more
Severance Payout In One Lump Sum
Has anyone taken the severance payout in one lump sum? If so what does it look like for taxes being taken? Its been said they tax that at a much higher rate than if you did just the regular two week pay.
Risk People Unite
For those being laid off in risk, you know this bank is still in disarray. Risk a huge mess. Take the opportunity to escalate what you have seen to the OCC. Detail the events. Don’t focus on DF telling everyone to “play with AI in your jobs”... — read more

Severance
For anyone receiving severance and has seen you paystub. Is it being reported as salary continuation connected to specific date range each two weeks or no specific dates shown on your paystubs.
WF is so transparent that…
…after completing the GES, employees cannot go back and look at the results from previous years surveys. In fact, only Managers can access it…but only after requesting permission to do so.
PTO during 60 day none work notice.
If you are placed on 60 day no work notice. Do you accumulate PTO during that time to be paid out on or catch up to PTO used but not yet accrued? Thanks!
PSA: Careful - Wells will take everything if you let him.
That's it that's the post.

Three words. What a mess! We witnessed our leaders in a dark room with bad lighting. There were sound issues that went on the entire meeting that was giving me a headache. Our senior leaders talked for 30 minutes about what food they like. ... — read more

Wells Fargo Copilot push + leadership overlap… anyone else noticing this?
Not trying to stir anything, just curious how others see this. CS sits on the board of Microsoft, and we’re seeing a strong push for Copilot internally.
Weird question re: 60-day non-working period
Just got displaced. Understand that as an individual I cannot start a new role during this timeframe, but if I have an LLC, then my single-member company gets paid and not me as an individual. Any thoughts? Any useful, constructive thoughts?
RTO Monitoring & Reporting
