I know this is hard to grasp, but at the time of the fake account scandal, there were a quarter million domestic employees and a large majority of them had nothing to do with it. Not involved, didn't know it was happening. There's also been thousands of new hires since the scandal broke, so obviously none of them are to blame. Finally, many many people that were in leadership on the retail side at the time have been termed or simply moved on to other things. Very few leaders in that area, from that time, remain, if any. Work on your attribution of blame. There's plenty to go around, but also no need to point the finger at the blameless.
Secondly, Shart wasn't brought in to "clean up" anything. He's here for one purpose, and one only, to get rid of as many domestic employees as possible. He really doesn't care about anything else, including regulatory issues. Sure, he directs his risk execs to "work on it" but that's about the extent of his involvement. Not his job or why he was hired. He was hired to get rid of us. All of us. Scandal or not. Remote or not. High performer or not. None of it matters. What country you live in is the only criteria. He'll keep firing people until he leaves, because that's all he does.
Before anyone says anything d-mb about the stock price, I'll remind you that over the last 10-12 years the company has downsized about 100k domestic workers. During that period the stock has been up some, and been in the toilet some. There really doesn't seem to be any correlation between stock price and terms. Our costs never really go down, they just spend the money in other ways. In the last few years Shart has spent all our profits on share buy backs. $4B of the $5B we earned in profits last Q alone. That has a lot more to do with share prices than downsizing does.
