One thing I really appreciate about this forum with those of us still working for this miserable company is those putting out insider info for those in different areas. I will say after working for many firms even in compliance, please be very careful as you post files and links. Always remember Big Brother is watching. They monitor all emails (actively with keyword flags) and everything you copy.
Just be careful not to give these miserable globalist’s hacks anything to hang you on. They will be watching for anything to use against us over the next 6 months as they determine where to cut.
And as someone who has been through it elsewhere, never assume your manager has your back or that it could not be you or me to be laid off or fired. You are the only person looking out for you when it comes down to it. Sorry to be maudlin, but it’s true. I was the one chosen when it happened to me and I was the younger of the two looked at, fully registered and licensed and was the computer and device wizard in the branch. I was chosen solely because my co-worker worked for the larger producer. Thankfully I had another job already lined up, but truthfully with the job market in certain less populous areas, it would be devastating if it happens to me now.
