You shouldn't worry about layoffs, at least for a while. Too many people are leaving the company so there's no need to have any extra cuts. Maybe if there's another recession sometime soon we'll be hit with more layoffs, but other than that, we can... — read more
All is not OK with audit
What is going on here ? Lots of constant flip flops . Methodology in a state of turmoil under a person with dubious credentials . Know the problem was created by the prior regime but the newbie crew may be worse
Registered Client Associate salary
Can someone share their East Coast (Mid Atlantic) salary and maybe even known range? Bonus structure? I'm fully licensed and have seen some postings, wondering if they are paying more than Merrill (also has a lot of postings..)
Rumors of a March layoff
Rumor is there is a layoff coming this month in march with monday 28th the day of the deed. Could be wide of the mark but this is the latest rumor heard
Let's Pretend We Didn't See It Coming?
Is this another case of "let's pretend we didn't see it coming"? I took a look at the P/E graphs and it certainly looks like we are headed into dangerous territory--along with reduced resources and climate chaos. But it's hard figuring out how to... — read more
Is it true most people got 100% of their base salary as their bonus?
I only got 26% bonus.
New to the VP role, do VPs get raises each year?
Or is it every other year? I’ve been in my role a year and a half and I got no raise this year.
It's time to leave
Indeed the market is hot. I’ve had 3 interviews since comp day and feel I’m close to an offer with one of them; oh and they’re paying 27K more than MS for the same job. People need to realize that this is the case and take advantage of it! I'm... — read more
Now was your raise/bonus?
I got no raise but a decent bonus.
2021 Comp number sucks
Bonus is down in comparison to 2020 Bonus Base is up but you need to work full year to get it
Amounts for comp/ bonuses?
Any word on if bonuses/ comp will be higher than last year? With record profits and retention being a priority (tech) I would hope this year is a good year. Any thoughts?
Comp
Do we know what day comp is this year?
Can we get Mack to come back out of retirement?
I'm tiring of the Gorman regime. Heck, I might even take Purcell over Gorman.
Morgan Stanley Layoffs 2022
Make a prediction and tell us what you think about Morgan Stanley layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Layoffs under the radar?
They may have managed to keep it out of the media that way, but it is enough for us to know that small layoffs are happening under the radar. People talk about it and there’s no reason not to believe it’s happening??? If we add to that all those... — read more
The worst year since I've started working here
I don't know about you, but ever since I've been working here, for more than 12 years, I personally have never had a harder year at MS than this one. I lost all hope that the next one would be any better. For now, I see no indication that it could be... — read more
MS will never enforce vax
If they haven't dropped the hammer by now after Gormans TV bluster about 90% vax rate, it wont happen. They know theyll lose the money makers if they try. Eat crow Gorman
You should always be prepared!
Worrying ahead of time doesn't really make it any easier. That’s why it’s best to always be prepared - it reduces anxiety. Anyway, my colleagues have already started talking that there could be cuts soon, very likely in December. Don't quote me on... — read more
October 2021….
Get ready. My sources say October is the month the vaccine mandates get real. America will soon be like Australia. Stay safe.
Doing more while keeping the quality
I won't quit because of the vaccination but I will certainly quit very soon because of other things. Especially because of the workload. There's never been more stress than now. I’m certainly doing work for three people now and I believe I’m not the... — read more
I QUIT!!!
I did it! Finally I can breathe a sigh of relief! Has anyone else put in their notice recently or have plans to quit soon? I was burnt out and just over the Morgan big firm suck up stressful culture. I felt like the stress sent me into overload even... — read more
What kind of advice is that?
My dream was to work here. I had a really nice time here for a while. Not anymore. Now I get the urge to leave more and more often. I got advice from some people to go to a much smaller bank. I don't know, I mean after so many years of trying to... — read more
ANSWER RIGHT. NOW. please.
Did everyone else land on this site because they googled Morgan Stanley Layoffs??? I'm searching for information, not a political debate. please, can anyone answer the questions? When are layoffs coming? Who will the layoffs effect? Will they... — read more
Vaccination still doesn’t mean someone’s job is safe
There is a lot of discussion about vaccination, rumors that those who refuse to be vaccinated will have to look for a job in another company, etc. What worries me, however, is that most people forget that vaccination here still doesn’t mean someone’s... — read more
Hold out on shot until November 1st
you'll thank me later. sorry to the test group, but that was your choice.
Federal Vax Mandate? Morgan Stanley?
Didn't the CEO boast that Morgan Stanley has an over 90% vaccinated rate of all employees? Is anyone else calling him out on that BS lie? How many people is he gonna fire when they go hardline and force the return to office for anyone still working... — read more
Stay or go?
Should I wait for the cuts that are coming or just go now? Does anyone know anything in stone yet? Any advice? Kinda confused and nervous.
RTO & Unvaxxed Terminations
Any word yet on the U.S. unvaxxed getting terminated? Are any other U.S. fully vaxxed people still concerned about being forced back into the office with the MU variant and the C variants in America now. (Its confirmed that neither vaccine... — read more
BULK FIRINGS/MASS OFFICE CLOSINGS
any word on the reason for the recent/ continuing upcoming bulk job cuts and reported bulk jobs moving to India? headcounts projected to be slashed at etrade and morgan. what is really going on?
So if an employer mandates the covid vaccine will they be responsible for any side effects created by vaccine?
Asking for a coworker.
Anyone waiting until the last minute to get vaccinated before returning to the office?
This really sucks. No jab, no return to office. Eventually, no job.
So unvaxxed get to work from home?
Seems unfair.
Argument over RTO
From the looks of posts, there is such a toxic and divisive opinion of returning to work. Where people threatening others that if they don’t come they will get sacked. What a toxic work environment, the company, the management and certain people... — read more
RTO
What are folks sitting in the offices with no masks or barriers or any sufficient social distancing? Is no one worried about the delta variant esp with the number of breakthrough cases? Morgan Stanley is one of the few offices where they do not test... — read more
Only slackers do not want to return to the office?
The claim that those who do not want to return to the office are lazy and do not like to work is absolutely untrue. I found a much better offer because I don’t want to go back to the office with a negative atmosphere. I’m not the only one, because I... — read more
Why don't you want to go back to the office?
What are your primary reasons why you do not want to return to the office? I feel that there are not strong enough arguments to return to the office. The biggest reason is that I don't want to go back to the toxic atmosphere in the office. My... — read more
Morgan Stanley CEO doubles down against working from home
https://nypost.com/2021/07/15/morgan-stanley-ceo-doubles-down-against-working-from-home/ is this tu-d living in the stone ages? I guess nothing got done here over the last year and a half while people were at home.
Finally Left Morgan Stanley due to WFH stance and impeding RIFs
the CEO can go to back to his cozy penthouse suite. We grinded ourselves to a numb this year. Ever since his comments about "finding our way back to the office"...I found my way out. I took a 10% paycut to work for a full WFH tech company and it... — read more
Water cooler talk
Towards the ending of June, there were rumors of impending RIFs. Since then I haven’t heard a thing. Is it true or just the rumor mill churning its usual BS? Have there been RIFs and people just aren’t talking about it? Or are there still some cuts... — read more
