Wells Fargo employees reveal how they dealt with stress

Stress affects us all in one way or another.

But staff at Wells Fargo may have had to deal with more pressure than most of us, if the latest story about the bank is to be believed.

The Wells Fargo account scandal – where it is claimed that employees were made to open customer accounts without authorisation – had serious consequences for staff at the bank, according to The New York Times.

As well as leading to the departure of its CEO, several employees had to leave, saying they were unable to cope with the pressure of having to create the two million unauthorised accounts. One worker even went so far as to drink hand sanitiser to cope with the pressure of meeting her sales quota.
