It had to be well known.. Likely alot of middle management knew and were in the crew that got fired.. It was all about the atmosphere WF created of high pressure to meet goals for bonuses and of course the higher ups benefitted as well.. This isnt the first time its happened and wont be the last.. On the bright side it made it easy for WF to cut payroll and employees with something like this going down without getting hammered majorly as they are seen doing the right thing for customers now.
I've worked inside sales before and the company that I had previously worked for got busted by the State for misleading customers. The Trainers, Managers and everyone else knew what was going on and it was taught to everyone on how to make your numbers. Sales culture is weird like that and it's everywhere that i've had a look under the hood. I mean if you watch something like The Wolf of Wallstreet, it gives you a look at that 'I don't care who I hurt, they have the money' attitude.

For it to be 500 fired would mean to me that it was institutionalized behavior, that it's 5,000 mandates it.
