Six current and former employees at Wells Fargo's large wealth management unit said they were encouraged to interview women and African Americans for jobs that were already filled in an effort to boost the bank’s diversity efforts.
Six current and former employees at Wells Fargo & Co.’s large wealth management unit said they were encouraged to interview women and African Americans for jobs that were already filled, in an effort to boost the bank’s diversity efforts, the New York Times reported Friday.
Wells Fargo said Bruno was fired for allegedly retaliating against an employee, but further details were not provided in the article. While the bank has made informal requests for supervisors to hire diverse candidates, the practice predates the current senior management of the company after Chief Executive Charlie Scharf took over the bank in 2019 and brought in many new leaders in 2020 as the bank reeled from $4.5 billion in fines stemming from a fraudulent account scandal, the spokesperson Burton said.
“There is absolutely no reason why anyone would conduct a fake interview,” Sommers told the newspaper.
