Former Wells Fargo asset manager Joe Bruno (58) claims he was fired after whistling to his bosses about "fake conversations" at the bank.
Bruno said he was tasked with interviewing black candidates, even though he or his superior had already selected one.
According to other employees, the talks are a trick to maximize the bank's diversification efforts until regulatory controls are possible.
The allegations come two years after CEO Charles W. Scharafter promised to increase diversity after the assassination of George Floyd in June 2020.
The bank has adopted a formal policy that requires interviews with several candidates for all open positions, earning more than $ 100,000 per year.
The former employee accused Wells Fargo of scheduling fake interviews with black and female candidates for positions already in order to increase bank diversification statistics.
Former Wells Fargo asset manager Joe Bruno, 58, says he was fired in August after whistling to his bosses over alleged "fake interviews" at a bank he described in the New York Times as "inappropriate, morally wrong, ethically wrong."
Bruno says he was commissioned to interview black candidates for low-paid financial advisors and financial advisors, even though he or his superiors have already selected people for the job.
Wells Fargo has been accused of scheduling bogus interviews with black and female employees on already filled roles to increase bank diversification statistics.
Bruno told the Times at one point that he refused to interview, told his employers, "I had a black man on the other side of the table with no chance of getting the job," and he was told he was fired as revenge. for speaking. Bruno was one of seven current and former Wells Fargo employees who claimed that their property management employers had ordered them to interview so-called diverse candidates - including women and men of a different color - for positions already filled by another candidate.
Five other people also reported who said they were familiar with the practice or had been interviewed, the Times said.
