That's essentially what the WF crew did.

But in those instances at least you're being given a choice, unlike the badly treated Wells Fargo customers.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-39161152441138433202016-09-28T20:25:38.661-05:002016-09-28T20:25:38.661-05:00Some of these people deserve jail time.Some of these people deserve jail time.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-87197826297713304272016-09-28T19:46:10.332-05:002016-09-28T19:46:10.332-05:00BTW, did that CEO just take a carpal tunnel glove ...BTW, did that CEO just take a carpal tunnel glove and wrap gauze around it?PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-35337895507219226192016-09-28T19:45:19.998-05:002016-09-28T19:45:19.998-05:00The problem is even with these "penalties&quo...The problem is even with these "penalties" these people still have problems with their credit that will probably take years to straighten out.

Well before this Wells Fargo thing she told me the main reason she left was people from clerks behind the windows to the branch managers were being pressured to make quotas of new accounts signed up. She told me this was common practice at every large bank (she knows people). She was a slightly above minimum wage worker and she was being pressured with quotas! Fuck the fine or lost bonus, these pricks should be in jail. Not just for ripping off customers but for forcing their workers (at every level) to be crooked or be shown the door.<br /><br />Beyond that, I have no opinion.<br /><br /> joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.com
