Thread regarding Morgan Stanley layoffs

When your boss asks you to stay late...

I guess this is a reminder to never put a company before what actually matters in life. When you work your a– off for a company, it creates a culture where working your a– off is expected from everyone and becomes the norm.

Don't let them exploit you and your fellow workers like that. When your boss asks you to stay late, push back. If there's something you want to do with your family or friends, put that before your work.

Complain when you're made to work more than 40 hour weeks. The culture at Morgan absolutely needs to change and your small actions are what's going to drive that change.

They're currently trying to squeeze every ounce of efficiency out of the smallest number of workers possible, and that's only going to lead to more stress and dissatisfaction.

You will get laid off at any time. Don't get exploited. Put the things that matter first.

This is misleading. Most managers I know in Tech are against their team members overworking. They actually consider it a negative in the evaluation reports. If you will have to work at night (say for an outage, turnovers, or meetings), you can usually take these hours off the next day. Whether we like it or not, some jobs requires that we are available at certain times (market hours, early morning meetings, or late evening turnovers).

More than 40 hours? No one force you to do that - many do it because they like their job. Similarly, no one count how many hours you work.

The truth is that your job in MS depends on how good your manager is. Unfortunately some senior managers are not good. Culture is good here, but these continuous layoffs (and the way HR handle them) are so bad and give bad image about the firm.

You'll be demoted to cleaning toilets and fired for not filling the paper towel dispensers adequately.
