A reply to are we having to return to 5 days in office for WellsFargo on TheLayOff.com. Hilarious company to follow on that website if you don’t.
Wells Fargo actually started on a plantation
in the 1860s in Alabama.John Seawater Wells, a slaveowner, began
holding people's money for them. (Sometimes he
gave it back.)He and Franklin Fargo, a local dandy, began an
illicit relationship (for those times), and before
anyone knew it, the first checking account was
opened. (It was overdrawn and force closed less
than a week later.)Back then, the main gripe among workers was
RTP (return to plantation).Horse manure was everywhere. Fresh air was in
short supply. It was a very atmospheric time.
