Officially dismounting from my high horse and handing "anonymous (IT)" back his STUPIDITY HAT.

I guess "anonymous , Friday 4/12/13 1:20 AM " is one of the associates management can play for a fool.

Thanks for handing the hat back. I could tell you had it on with your comments. Now you might start thinking clearly and realize that some associates do know what occurred.

It does sound like they are saying redundant positions to me.....

From Company spokesman Steve Hollister "These were not easy decisions, and we made every effort to be thoughtful and deliberate in our approach to achieving our staffing goals," Hollister said in a statement. "While an adjustment of this size is... — read more 

From RJ = “Because of the remaining employment overlap, and accelerated investments and restructuring to meet the needs of the changing technology landscape,” Hollister said via email. “We do not expect additional sizeable employment-related changes.

From On Wall Street = "The cuts were designed to reduce overlap in specific departments, and the firm indicated that they will not spill over into the brokerage force, where the firm has retained some 95% of revenues from Morgan Keegan advisors."

Yes. While you believe nobody knows for sure, you are making the same error believing the people here don't know anything past people have left Raymond James.

You have some points, but that is not the press release. TBO and TBT have it. You can assume skills and play with other subjects, but they are saying redundant positions and that is not true..

Oh yeah, the IT meeting. The managers asked for questions then Bella got snotty on one of the questions she didn't like in front of IT. That really said quite a lot of her personality towards people.

Anonymous (IT) Come on you know that is not all they look at as far as redundancy. How about redundancy in skills overall. And look further than Memphis. Not HR and not a manager. Been in RJ IT for 12 years....thought I had seen it all. This is... — read more 

as some of you may remember how she acted in the meeting...

I CAN confirm the duplication of duties was not the real answer. I CAN confim the package amount is what is listed below. I CAN comfirm the 9 blocker was "generally" used to decide. I CAN confirm only Bella's groups were affected. Happy now because... — read more 

Not meaning to preach and I am very very aware of what went on around me today. I just think it is a huge leap to say they were let go for no reason....or that only long timers were let go. It was a wide array of people and probably a number of... — read more 

Hey stupid. Fact; There were less than 25 IT people in Tenn as of yesterday. Confirmed through the organization chart. Following the redundancy propaganda, less than 25 people should be laid off. RJ App Dev associates worked on apps that had no... — read more 

Don't say you can confirm things you can't. Only thing you CAN confirm is the lay offs themselves.....not the reason for them. There is also no way for the posters here to refute with any knowledge the redundancies in staffing. What you are doing is... — read more

I got cut today - still trying to figure out why was isolated as I was the only one let go in my group - the severance package (somebody described it below) is pathetic - still, chin up and move on. God bless...

I can confirm over 100 people were let go here in IT today (St Pete) - nothing to do with performance, nothing to do with redundancies - they mainly targeted folks with longer tenure that were typically better paid if compared to the newer guys. I... — read more

News releases say 160 people let go. RJ is saying "due to MK" too. Total BS. Those IT people were doing those jobs before MK and MK didn't add or subtract to their jobs. They probably will rehire in 8 months with new people and with smaller salaries.

The packages stunk too. 4 weeks base pay and 1 week per year worked at RJ. So long the RJ I knew and loved.
