Just curious.

I was with the firm > 19 years and was given an ok title making slightly north of 200k, while offering 180k base to my new hire, an exhibition of how much loyalty was worth (actually loyalty in HR’s eyes means you can’t find a job elsewhere) I’m... — read more 

Are we able to see the past paystubs on adp website? Currently I can’t see anything from ADP. It’s empty.

Remaining layoffs will be this Friday Is this true or trolling?

This company completely has the worst HR handling layoffs. Coming from India. Cant access documents. Can’t talk to a human. Can’t even get a response from email they provide. Management won’t even respond.

Does anyone know how we can return firm belongings? HR didn’t ask for my ID badge on Tuesday.

I'm single and in my 30s, with some savings. I'm still here. My coworker in his late 40s with a wife and two kids was laid off. I know it had absolutely nothing to do with me, but I still feel so bad for him and I feel guilty for some reason. Don't... — read more 

Since MS let go of greater than 250 full-time employees, weren't they required to give a full 90-day notice before these layoffs? Under the New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act ("NYS WARN"), private employers with 50 or... — read more 

If your team wasn’t affected, congratulations - you’re among the lucky ones who won this round. If your team was affected, my condolences. Now, the rest of us have to double our workloads to keep things running, all for the same pay. We might have... — read more 

As the title per say. Anyway those that survive layoffs don't pi-s off upper manager. If someone gives you a poor 360 review defend yourself. Most importantly review this website ever so often.

I feel really frustrated today because some really good colleagues were let go. I don’t think it’s fair to layoff good talents just for cutting cost. Why don’t just cut everyone’s salary by 2% instead of cut 2% headcount? The only thing I learned now... — read more 

Just want to know it is too easy to get laid off or not.

I was lucky this time. God knows how it will turn out the next one. I wish all affected to land on their feet soon.

I heard that most layoffs were this morning, are they now done in the US? I’m in New York, if that matters

Was the Baltimore back office affected?

How are people being notified? Do you receive an email or is there a meeting with your manager? Or something else? I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but I've never been through a layoff before.

I know one person who was impacted in SLC with great performance reviews for the past 10 years, HR said the severance details would come later via email. Does anyone know what the standard package is?

RIF underway across EU, US happening as well today. Know 2 people let go

I’ve been with MS for five years, and that’s been more than enough. I wish everyone the best of luck, especially those who truly want to keep their job.

I spent the entire weekend worrying. Leaving some of us hanging like this is just extra cruel. I’d have much rather known last week if I was laid off than go through the torture of this weekend. The stress sent my anxiety through the roof. This place... — read more 

Can you get a severance package if you’re laid off for poor performance under an at-will employment agreement?

What are your thoughts on the best alternatives? From what I'm seeing, the entire sector is in trouble, so there aren't that many options left. Which, sadly, makes the coming layoffs even scarier, in my opinion.

what a cruel a-s firm, now we need to think about it all weekend. Can they spell M-O-R-A-L-E ?????

Does it even matter if you get all 3?

Wall Street heavyweight Morgan Stanley is planning to lay off about 2,000 employees later this month, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday. The reduction of 2% to 3% of the company's workforce, excluding financial advisers... — read more

Anyone hear the same

Does anyone know for sure when layoffs are happening?

Any recent news of layoffs? The office has been feeling off the past few weeks.

Has anyone been fired yet for not going into the office enough? Currently go in once a week.

Got pulled into a meeting with my boss, his boss, and hr where they grilled me on badging into the office and leaving very shortly afterwards . (I had an excuse) pretty sure I was about to get fired if I didn’t provide a documented excuse….

Hey Guys, If anyone has a less than stellar performance on your year-end review please start looking. I heard rumors from VPs and EDs about it and someone also told me that they are finalizing budgets, but can't confirm layoffs so I am certain that... — read more 

It feels like there has been a change in strategy at MS - no more massive layoffs every year, a switch to exploiting attrition now. Am I the only one noticing this? Prior to 2020 it was like a clockwork - massive layoffs between December and March... — read more

hi, It seems all of you forgot the bonus because no one discuss this topic and no information from film provided the exact date about when the bonus be received

How long do you think AI and blockchain will take over financial industry? I feel most positions in MS can be easily replaced by AI and blockchain (like Defi). Even the font office like traders, sales, financial advisors. For example, I can just do... — read more
