I have been an employee of Wells Fargo Financial in California for the past 16 months. I've been ripped off of my peace of mind by my manager. I am a credit manager, this position is all about sales. I had previously worked in sales for Citibank, but it wasn't as cut-throat as Wells Fargo Financial.
First of all, I never received any formal training, just learned as I went. My job performance was rated as average or fully satisfactory for the first 2 months. All the other employees had quit so it was just me and another guy. My manager met w / us every few days and banged on tables and cussed up a storm b/c we weren't performing to his satisfaction.
He pulled me in to an office and yelled at me til I broke down and started crying. Needless to say, rather than improving my sales actually got worse b/c every time I made a sales call he would be sitting there behind me pressuring me to say certain things and not let the customer off the phone.
I started seeing a psychiatrist b/c I was under so much stress. The Dr. Suggested that I quit and look for another job. Just when I had decided to quit, he pulled me aside and accused me of lying on some tracking sheets! I was outraged b/c I never lied so I decided not to quit b/c he threatened me by saying if I quit he wouldn't tell anyone I had lied! I told him I wasn't quitting but that I did want to transfer out of his office!
The transfer process has been going on for months now, and during that time I have put up w/SO much emotional abuse! I stay just b/c I know he wants me to quit and it bothers me that during the course of 12 months he has forced 6, yes SIX people to resign! Its an office of four, so you do the math on how many times he's restaffed the whole office!
The strange thing is he thinks he's had "problem" employees, he doesn't see himself as a problem manager!
I've finally had it last week he told me that Wells Fargo Financial wasn't going to transfer me and that "in his humble opinion" I should quit, after all, I'll be getting "two weeks severance"... I've been fretting ever since.
I'm a mother, I have responsibilities, I can't afford to be w/out a job for even one day! I don't know what to do, ever since the day we had that last talk, he doesn't speak to me or respond when I speak to him and he has me doing all the menial clerical functions in the office... I am a college graduate, and I want to keep my job, just in a different office.
Is there anything I can do?
