Good old Wells Fargo is back in hot water over staging sham interviews with select minorities to improve appearances.

I worked for them for a while and boy did they make a show of promoting diversity ! We all went to a week's training on diversity and we see now why that was.

Wells Fargo staged sham job interviews with minority candidates for positions that had already been promised to others, according to a former executive at the bank who claims he was fired after complaining about it to his bosses.Joe Bruno, who was an executive in the wealth management division at Wells Fargo’s corporate offices in Jacksonville, Florida, told The New York Times that he was dismissed last summer as part of management’s retaliation for flagging the issue.
Bruno said that he told his superiors that the “fake interviews” were “inappropriate, morally wrong, ethically wrong,” according to the Times.
The Post has reached out to Wells Fargo and Bruno seeking comment. Shares of Wells Fargo were trading down more than 1% as of 11 a.m. Eastern time on Thursday.
Wells Fargo claimed that it let Bruno go for retaliating against a colleague.
