Joe Bruno, 58, is a former long time executive for Wells Fargo.
He was among 5 other employees ordered to hold interviews with people of color.
Bruno claims the job positions the people applied for were already filled.
Bruno voiced his concerns about this unethical practice to management and was terminated in August 2021.
The fake interviews created an image that the bank attempted to diversify their staff.
Wells Fargo adopted a policy that required management to interview at least one person of color for available jobs paying more than $100,000 a year.
In 2013 they faced a discrimination lawsuit in which they had to pay nearly $36 million to black financial advisors.
Wells Fargo issued a statement saying “we take the nature of the allegations in the story seriously and, as a company, we do not tolerate the type of conduct alleged. We will continue our internal review and if we find evidence of inappropriate behavior or shortcomings in our guidelines or their implementation, we will take decisive action.”
Hello there! This article couldn’t be written any better! Looking at this post reminds me of
my previous roommate! He continually kept preaching about this.
I will forward this post to him. Pretty sure he’ll have a great read.
