Wachovia Takes Brave Stand

By

This ban is at least going on in Charlotte, and presumably in New York (as well as overlord Wells Fargo offices). That’s fine. A little rude, considering how glowingly we wrote of the marshmallow-building contest, but fine. Just remember the last bank* to enact such a measure, and have a great day.
*The Merrill ban was only temporary but we have it good authority Bank of America wouldn’t have gotten on board had it not been lifted.

      California Controller John Chiang recently purchased $1.8 million in office furniture. He says the old furniture was dangerous. This week the state began sending out IOUs in place of tax refund checks, and S&P downgraded the state again today.

      Does each attempt to access result in your pay getting docked?

      @ 3
      I have no doubt that someone with the Job Title of California Controller is the kind of person who could consider furniture dangerous.

      Blocking Dealbreaker is like blocking the Fire Department in some ways.

      Probably b/c too many of their employees read you guys during the day instead of WORKING. :)

      Sorry Dealbreaker, you’re definitely blocked in NYC at Wachovia, a Wells Fargo Company
      Aren’t their employees frustrated and disheartened enough? Taking away Dealbreaker is just another slap in the face.

      KL = Ken Lewis
      although, if the fool keeps up, the two Kens could share a bunk.

      I work in tech at a large bank that now flies coach to visit all aisles of its supermarket of services, but it will go nameless…
      If you need to fill that DBreaker jones from work, try the following work around:
      -Google DBreaker
      -click on the text ‘Cached’ on the Google return
      -You should be able to read an archived version of the blog
      Good luck

      @24: who the hell wants to read the archived version of a news site? why didn’t you just post instructions on how to rummage through your neighbor’s recyclables to steal his week old WSJ? there’s a reason that it’s called news and not olds, you moron.

      Wells Fargo does not net nanny – it’s not in our liberal west-coast nature. We still have access to Dealbreaker. If the merger with Wachovia changes that, then the deal is off!

      first time on the interwebs? Wellsgovians (and probably others) can always access it via google reader or another rss engina.
