Is this more or less criminal than the time they fraudulently signed up customers for new accounts?
How many executives will go to prison for wage theft?
- I don't think larceny is a capital offense in most countries, but certainly not the USA.
Oh look it's this company breaking the law again
Why does anyone use them or work there? Terrible company.
- Yeah it’s a weird choice to make. There’s been nothing but ridiculous news about this company for a decade now. At some point, consumers need to vote with their money and go elsewhere.
- I personally wasn't given a choice. My mortgage was sold to them soon after I signed it with a local bank. Fortunately the rates were locked in so WF hasn't had an opportunity to fuck me over, but it was still an unpleasant surprise.
  
  I refinanced and said "anyone but Wells Fargo" closed and a couple of months later, who buys my mortgage? You guessed it. Wells Fargo. Bastard people.
  
  That sucks. Make sure you keep your statements and verify everything with them.
- Because most people don’t hang out on lemmy reading this shit. Most people are oblivious because they are too busy trying to afford life.
- Brand recognition
Wage theft is the largest form of theft in the US.
At what point do you walk into the big vault holding a pool of gold coins and grab some overtime pay?
You complained about being hourly. Congratulations, you're now salaried.
- You complained about paying overtime and made me salary a couple years ago, but my position doesn't qualify as a salaried position. Congratulations to me on all the back pay!
