A security firm has identified a teenager in Russia as the author of the malware used in the cyberattacks against Target and Neiman Marcus, and warned retailers to be prepared for more potential breaches. Investigators have been probing the recent... — read more 

This blog is totally a long epic read. Raymond James Financial Inc has some serious problems.

A high stock price means the market and analysts like the company as of that moment. It doesn't mean the future is bright, the strategy is going well, or that the company is set for long term success. You can shuffle the chairs on a sinking ship to... — read more 

Paul became the Executive chairman to Korn/Ferry from July 1, 2007 to April 30, 2009 (see bio). Under his leadership, the stock started around $26.25 and ended around $9.35 when he left. By the way, he instituted layoffs there too. Multiple times (LA... — read more 

w/CH out, his wunderkind may behave like it's Logan Run.

This philosophy works in the Obama WH. Why wouldn't the same hold true elsewhere?

Seriously? MSB got promoted again? How long will it take for others to learn that incompetence is necessary for promotion?

MEC is back. She trashes people and totally disrespects people and is back. What is going on? When Senior management lets this happen they are not trying to build things long term. Turn and burn. Bella, Vin and Paul will ride the train as long as... — read more 

Most of the people that built RJ into a top notch financial institution are gone. They've been replaced by people that contributed to UBS becoming second rank. Evolution you say? How about calling it...DE-EVOLUTION!

Merry New Years bizatches!

RJ is going through an evolution. All organizations need to do it to stay relevant over time. Yes, some things could be better. However, many of these comments are simply personal attacks. What is the value in that? All individuals are imperfect and... — read more 

So sorry for SQM with MEC back at RJ @ SQM. But it doesn't really matter since all the talented people already left SQM. All that is left is the unskilled housewives that can't get hired somewhere else.

Bella has nothing to do with the stock price, its the FA's sales ability keeping the stock up. As for Bella, if she continues her mismanagement of IT it will catch up to her, and the stock price will reflect it no matter how good the FA's are.

I've been gone for nine months, but I love where the stock is going. New 52 week highs each of the last few weeks; whatever Bella is doing, it doesn't appear to hurt the bottom line. Full disclosure - I still hold a ton of RJF and plan to go very... — read more 

How do they sleep at night? Together?

We feel so bad for the people at the St. Pete TSC. Not only do you have Bozeman (good riddance) now, but his little 2-faced bitch Lisa Kuhl can't apparently keep her brown nose from going too deep up Bozos ass. I hear she's trying to get people fired... — read more 

MSB- Respect comes with Respect. Remember that when you talk to your staff. Some people don't want to hear you ramble about others. Also, stop showing off for Bruce M your staff sees it and it doesn't look good. Your old staff even is seeing your... — read more 

Sorry for what RJ has done to you. You deserved better for being a loyal employee and a good manager for the many years of your tenure at RJ. What is happening at RJ is terrible and unconscionable! You'll be better off in the long run with RJ behind... — read more 

Give the women a chance. Give MSB the same chance she gave Chris Mandelka. Oooops, she should be leaving RJ shortly then. Her actions speak louder than words. You want to trust her then go ahead. I've see the damage she creates too. Snake in the... — read more 

WTF!?!?

Didn't you mean Bella Curve? And what do you see that's so great about a company that treats its employees as if they are second class citizens. Why do you think so many people left on their own terms?

I worked under MSB for 2 years. One of the worst managers I EVER had to deal with in my IT career. I could not even stand to be in meetings with her. Draws illogical conclusions to things she thinks she sees and runs with it. Stupidest ideas that... — read more

Give the women a chance in her new role. I am sure you would expect the same. Your statement below seems to carry some emotion, please share your experiences with her.

what's new?

We were gifted with MSB in the re-alignment under Bruce Mellusi. She is totally fake and will stab you in the back to get herself up on the ladder. She will use your ideas to pretend she has brilliant management insight to her superiors. I have no... — read more 

Anyone?

MEC is not the person you want to work for or be around. I can't stress that enough. Please don't think MSB is any worse - you've not seen how bad it can be yet.
