Can someone tell me what our 50 or so VPs and SVPs do on a day to day basis (this is not a rhetorical question, i actually wanna know). If the 10-12 advisors that work under the VP are doing all the heavy lifting then what do our VPs do, why do... — read more

Repost Yeah, nobody stays with the same company for more than 2-5 years now, at least not if they’re smart. Why stay with the same company and get a 1-3% raise each year (if I’m lucky) when I can change jobs and get a 10-20% bump every time? Beat... — read more

It can’t possibly be worse than 2024. Or at least I hope not.

So, we're past PIP season. I was curious if anyone outright didn't sign the document given for the PIP/PIL option. Essentially, has anyone ignored their performance assessment choice and made the company fire them "the ol' fashioned way"?

Sure, I get that some people don’t get raises. A lot of us, actually. But my boss didn’t even communicate anything to me at all this year. Did anyone else not even get told anything about their salary next year, or is it just me??

If you’re 45 or older, it’s time to face the reality that you’re on borrowed time here. The company is systematically getting rid of people like us, one by one. They’re looking for younger employees, cheaper labor, people who don’t even know what... — read more
