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.

Asking for a coworker.

This really sucks. No jab, no return to office. Eventually, no job.

Seems unfair.

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

Enjoy your new normal. Soon paycuts for remote, unvaxxed.

Will be joining Morgan Stanley as a new grad through TAP in MS WMT. Was wondering how WMT faired back during the layoffs of 2019. Also, which teams/'fleets' should i avoid during team matching? thank you so much!

A lot of people are not happy at MS and I can understand why to an extent, but I consider myself to be very lucky to have a job here despite it all. Have you looked at other banks on this forum? Our issues pale in comparison to what some of them are... — read more

Is this going to be an interesting year as it relates to Morgan Stanley Layoffs 2021? Any news or rumors?

Per the title, I'm curious as to how far in advance layoffs are planned, and when the news filters down to management. Still got a bad taste in my mouth about the whole treatment.

Does anyone know when will the severance payment come in for those who got laid off in December?

With this virus, how many of you were cut before xmas, and were able to land a job now that there is a virus going around. I'm in Montreal, and did have a job offer for DBA, but was cancelled due to the outbreak, so am still looking.
