UPDATE: Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan to step down immediately

[Aristus]

2. My one year working for Wells Fargo was the worst job I ever had.

The sales goals were crippling, and the pressure to meet or exceed them was overwhelming. I went home every night with a headache, and dreaded going to work every morning. Worst year of my life, hands down.

I had my wife and her family to support while she was in school. I prayed every day for her to graduate so she could start making good money and take the pressure off me. She graduated and got a good job, but we decided I should stick it out for a few more months until she got her feet under her.

As it turned out, I got fired not long after for failure to meet sales goals. In my division, I was ranked seventh in the entire state for sales volume. But that wasn't good enough for Wells Fargo, so they fired me. I had never been so happy to be fired in my life.

I got in my car after the exit meeting with the district manager, put on my happy music, and smiled happily all the way home.
