Hello! I am an admin professional here with no tech background currently, seeking a position in tech! I am focusing on hr or project/program management for now until I can build up my skill set.

Hi Fishes,

Good Evening!!

I got an offer from Wells Fargo and planned to join next month. But my current organization compensated and retained me. I informed the same to Wells Fargo HR.

But hiring manager from Wells Fargo scolded me on ping and said that I won't get any opportunity from Wells Fargo in future.

Kindly let me know is it possible to block my profile.

Thanks.
