Behind them is a red, antique horse carriage with \"Wells Fargo & Co. Overland Stage\" lettered in yellow across the top, and luggage piled on the roof. Beyond the carriage is a sign hanging from a second-story walkway that says \"Fossil Free Future.\" Nine of the visible protestors in the foreground hold a thin white banner at chest height that reads \"W(t)F(?): Your lending is ending all life. Pass shareholder Res #9.\" All wear facemasks and appear calm, and most appear to be smiling. At first glance, most appear to be white and middle-aged.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

It wasn't immediately clear if they are still expected to testify. Last week, Democrats on that committee released an \u003ca href=\"https://financialservices.house.gov/uploadedfiles/wells_fargo_staff_report_final_mm.pdf\">investigative report\u003c/a> called \"The Real Wells Fargo: Board & Management Failures, Consumer Abuses and Ineffective Regulatory Oversight.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the report's executive summary, Wells Fargo was slow to \"correct serious deficiencies in its infrastructure for managing risks to consumers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It continues: \"As a result, Wells Fargo's customers have been exposed to countless abuses, including racial discrimination, wrongful foreclosure, illegal vehicle repossession, and fraudulently opened accounts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also highlighted a 2017 remark from Duke in which she appeared to raise questions about why she was being included on messages from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau requesting that Wells Fargo take certain actions to improve bank operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Why are you sending it to me, the board, rather than the department manager?\" asked Duke, who was then vice chair of the bank's board, according to the House report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a joint statement, Duke and Quigley said they were stepping down from their posts to \"avoid distraction\" and allow \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.wf.com/press-release/corporate-and-financial/wells-fargo-names-charles-w-scharf-chief-executive-officer\">Charles Scharf\u003c/a>, who was named CEO and president of Wells Fargo in September, the \"ability to turn the page.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Out of continued loyalty to Wells Fargo and ongoing commitment to serve our customers and employees, we recommended to our colleagues on the Board that we step down from our leadership roles and they have accepted our resignation from the Board. We believe that our decision will facilitate the bank's and the new CEO's ability to turn the page and avoid distraction that could impede the bank's future progress,\" Duke and Quigley said in the statement.

The departures come days after a House committee report found the bank has been too slow to reform itself in the wake of a series of scandals — including widespread fraud in the consumer banking business tied to overly aggressive sales goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke, who is known to many as Betsy, was elected chair of the bank's board effective January 2018. She had previously served as vice chair between October 2016 and December 2017. Wells Fargo said her resignation and that of another board member, James Quigley, \u003ca href=\"https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200309005376/en/Elizabeth-A.-Duke-James-H.-Quigley-Resign\">were effective Sunday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo has \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/series/508986161/investigating-the-wells-fargo-scandal\">endured a cascade of scandals\u003c/a> in recent years. The bank last month agreed to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/02/21/808205303/wells-fargo-paying-3-billion-to-settle-u-s-case-over-illegal-sales-practices\">pay $3 billion\u003c/a> to settle charges of collection fees for bank accounts, credit cards and other products worth millions from customers who didn't need or request the services. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The following year Wells Fargo announced that an outside review uncovered an \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/31/547550804/wells-fargo-admits-to-nearly-twice-as-many-possible-fake-accounts-3-5-million\">additional 1.4 million potentially bogus accounts\u003c/a>, bringing the total to 3.5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Quigley and Duke were scheduled to appear before the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday.

The bank has also shaken up its board of directors and improved wages and benefits for its workers, Sloan said.

But then a few months later, we hear about another case of dishonest sales practices or gross mismanagement.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's been nearly three years since the unauthorized accounts scandal broke, when \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/series/508986161/investigating-the-wells-fargo-scandal\">NPR \u003c/a>and other outlets reported bankers had created deposit and credit card accounts for customers without their knowledge. Sloan said Tuesday that an audit revealed as many as 3.5 million unauthorized accounts had been opened. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ordered Wells Fargo to pay \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/08/493130449/wells-fargo-to-pay-around-190-million-over-fake-accounts-that-sparked-bonuses\">$185 million in penalties and fines\u003c/a> in 2016 for creating those unwanted accounts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11684298,news_11614919\" label=\"More Wells Fargo Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sloan said the bank has made amends. He said it had made contact with some 40 million customers and had paid tens of millions of dollars in restitution. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Democratic congressman Brad Sherman had a specific question for Sloan regarding that process: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Are you going to use your clever arbitration provisions, applicable to an account they never signed up for, in order to keep them out of court, if that's what they decide they want?\" Sherman asked. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Congressman, our remediation for customers who were impacted by retail sales practices is extensive and comprehensive,\" Sloan answered. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And you refuse to let people go to court,\" Sherman countered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another case, last year, the CFPB imposed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/20/604279604/wells-fargo-hit-with-1-billion-in-fines-over-consumer-abuses\">$1 billion fine\u003c/a> against Wells Fargo for overcharging customers for mortgages and auto loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August 2018, Wells Fargo agreed to pay a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/08/01/634666608/wells-fargo-to-pay-2-billion-penalty-over-bad-information-used-to-sell-mortgages\">$2 billion civil penalty\u003c/a> to settle allegations the bank originated and sold mortgage loans that included false information in the years leading up to the financial crisis. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Sloan spoke, screens mounted on the committee walls projected excerpts from an article published Saturday in \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/09/business/wells-fargo-sales-culture.html\">The New York Times\u003c/a>; it revealed that debt collectors working for Wells Fargo in Des Moines, Iowa, were tasked with making 33 calls an hour and recouping some $40,000 in unpaid debts over the course of a month. Workers told reporters the goals were unattainable, similar to the ambitious sales targets that had driven Wells Fargo workers to open unauthorized accounts in the past. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The sales incentives have changed, not disappeared,\" the Times wrote, citing current and former employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about the report, Sloan said it was \"inaccurate.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sloan spoke as his bank remains under an unusual \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/enforcement20180202a.htm\">Federal Reserve measure\u003c/a> imposed last year to restrict its growth. The Fed said at the time that the company will be barred from expanding beyond its asset size in 2017, \"until the firm makes sufficient improvements.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The broad, bipartisan censure may provide a clue about future hearings by the House Financial Services Committee planned for other bank CEOs.

She called Wells Fargo \"a recidivist financial institution.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Wells Fargo's ongoing lawlessness and failure to right the ship suggests the bank — with approximately $1.9 trillion in assets and serving one in three U.S. households is simply too big to manage,\" Waters said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sloan faced hours of aggressive questioning from both Republicans and Democrats. They cast doubt on his claim that the bank had reformed since being caught \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/31/547550804/wells-fargo-admits-to-nearly-twice-as-many-possible-fake-accounts-3-5-million\">opening fraudulent accounts\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/20/604279604/wells-fargo-hit-with-1-billion-in-fines-over-consumer-abuses\">overcharging for mortgage and auto loans\u003c/a>.

The bank has also shaken up its board of directors and improved wages and benefits for its workers, Sloan said. He thanked lawmakers for letting him discuss \"the progress we are making as we work to become the most customer-focused, efficient and innovative Wells Fargo ever.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Workers told reporters the goals were unattainable, similar to the ambitious sales targets that had driven Wells Fargo workers to open unauthorized accounts in the past. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The sales incentives have changed, not disappeared,\" the Times wrote, citing current and former employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about the report, Sloan said it was \"inaccurate.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sloan spoke as his bank remains under an unusual \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/enforcement20180202a.htm\">Federal Reserve measure\u003c/a> imposed last year to restrict its growth.

First, users faulted Uber for appearing unsympathetic to anti-Trump protesters. Then, a former employee wrote about a culture of misogyny. News also came out about how little drivers earned. Many of the corporate culture issues were tied to the former CEO, Travis Kalanick, who has since been replaced. (Note: This is probably why the new CEO is front and center narrating the apology ad).

Uber is even less direct. It doesn’t talk about a past problem, but the new CEO says if “there are times when we fall short, we commit to being open, taking responsibility for the problem, and fixing it.” Facebook has a particularly clever way of bringing up its problems without admitting guilt.
