Old Norwest Bank training video promoting a hostile sales culture (Norwest merged Wells Fargo 1998)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnqAOT46Mgc&t=51s

 

Not sure how old the video is but seeing as how Norwest merged in 1998 and looking at that keyboard the teller is using and that car during the first few seconds of the video outside the branch, it's at least from the 90s, maybe 80s.

 

If you don't know, Wells Fargo and Norwest merged in 1998. I'm seeing conflcting info online of who bought who, but as far as I can tell, it was Norwest that bought Wells Fargo (and not the other way around) and they decided to keep the Wells Fargo name over the Norwest name due to it having greater name recognition and brand awareness.

 

Anyways, their hostile sales culture goes WAY BACK, like decades. This isn't something that just started a few years ago like Wells Fargo damage control PR department is trying to make the general public believe.
