Wells boss throws pity party

- By KEVIN DUGAN kdugan@nypost.com

Welcome to hell, Tim. Wells Fargo’s chief executive, Tim Sloan, bemoaned his lot in life Friday during an earnings call with analysts on disappoint­ing earnings, just weeks after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) told him he “should be fired.”

Sloan, who’s in the process of cleaning up the bank’s many sales scandals, noted during the call that he’s been in the top job for “a year and a day — maybe two, I don’t know.”

“Feels like forever,” the millionair­e wheezed wearily while other executives chuckled in the background.

Sloan (right) seems to be a glutton for punishment since the embattled bank boss said he didn’t foresee a time when the bad news about the sales scandals would be over.

“Our review of all our policies, procedures, practices is going to continue for a long time,” said Sloan, who took over in October 2016.

Warren went on a tirade early this month against the Wells Fargo exec for the bank’s bad behavior, and not doing enough to stop it.

“Mr. Sloan, you say you’ve been making changes at Wells Fargo for 30 years, but you enabled this fake-account scam, you got rich off it, and then you tried to cover it up,” Warren said during a Senate committee hearing.

“At best you were incompeten­t,” Warren added. “At worst you were complicit. And either way you should be fired.”
