<p>[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2634536, member: 13307"][USER=80814]@TommyP[/USER] - I'm not so sure I'd agree with the term "slave labor" either, but having been an employee of a regional bank where I was not trained to do even some basic functions of a bank teller (seriously, training was supposed to be 6 weeks and they cut us loose after 1.5 weeks, even though I and the other teller who was training both communicated that we did not feel comfortable with most of what we were supposed to do.) Bank didn't care - wasn't going to waste time teaching us anything related to our jobs. But I had the right to leave when I wanted to (I did.) They did spend most of their communication with us (once we were out in a bank) trying to push harassing customers to sign up for products they did not need. The customers hated it, we didn't understand the details of the products we were tasked with pushing, and it was the only thing corporate seemed to care about.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=2098]@NOS[/USER] - I will definitely disagree with you on the term "mistake." This was an intentional, calculated decision by the leadership of Wells Fargo to create fake accounts in order to fudge the companies' numbers to make the stock price go up. That is fraud, not a mistake. A mistake is "we counted your deposit incorrectly" or "we spelled your name incorrectly" or "a page on our website doesn't work or has typos." A mistake is unintentional. The CEO only semi-apologized after being reamed in Congressional hearings, and had Congress not gotten involved, it would still be business as usual at WF. Don't portray it as "the CEO realized the error of his ways and apologized and made everything right at the company's expense." EDIT: Also, I forgot to add that when certain WF employees discovered the fraud and reported it, they were immediately terminated and escorted from WF property. <i>Getting caught and being forced to admit your fraudulent activities is not an apology.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
