Story 333

To the community,

I’ve been reading the stories here for some time, and like many of you, I recognize the patterns. Most recently from Stories 331, 327 and 324, but there are many others.

While our individual experiences may not strictly be the same, and each deserves to stand on its own terms, I think that those of us who are considering legal action, or who have already taken it, may benefit from knowing we are not alone in that process.

Specifically, I’d like to explore whether members of this community would be open to:

— Connecting with attorneys who have already demonstrated familiarity with this institution and these types of claims.

— Coordinating timing where it is legally appropriate to do so, so that individual cases are not resolved quietly and in isolation.

— Considering a joint regulatory complaint to bodies such as the OCC, the Federal Reserve, or the SEC, which are explicitly empowered to look at institutional patterns.

None of this requires anyone to share details they are not comfortable sharing.

If you are interested in connecting, I hope the editor will consider a mechanism for members to signal that interest. Even an anonymous registry or a secure signal to the editor could help us gauge numbers without risking anyone’s current position.

    I worked at Wells Fargo for 27 years. I left much earlier than planned, because I could no longer tolerate being overworked, under-recognized, and treated as the woman who could carry everything while our only male team member was valued above everyone else, even though his contribution was laughable. I saved Wells Fargo more than…
