[quote=YTB]

[quote=DB Cooper]YTB, you are blaming the manager?  Look jerkoff, you caused this.  Heck if someone in that office tipped the manager so they could look good, or get some accounts they are jerks too.  But you deserve some blame for coming on here and gossiping about your old coworkers.  Way to go douchebag.[/quote]

You’re not just a loser, you’re also an idiot. An idiot for not even realizing the facts.
These are not former co-workers.

In fact - I don’t know these guys at all.

So to you, Douchebag, before you get on your soapbox to wax self righteous indigination, learn the facts, comprehend them and then form an opinion you useless Clown.

Young lady, have you forgotten that you were a secretary for 4 years and that you have to sign out to go to lunch? If I had to pick out a loser around here, you’d be at the top of the list.

What?

YTB, if I'm such an idiot, why don't you fill me in on the way it really went down.  But let me take a crack at it first.  Since you claim they are not old coworkers, but you obviously have inside knowledge of what is going on up in Santa Rosa.  My guess is while you were living up in Rhonert Park, probably hanging out in Guernville at the "Rainbow Room" or the "White Swallow" you met a new alternative lifestyle partner who happens to be a ML FA.  You two hit it off for a while until you decide to move in closer to San Fran to take advantage of the gay friendly environment.  You two still like to gossip with each other while on weekend getaways in the wine country.   This is where he feeds you with this info about his co workers.   You then "drop" this tidbit onto this forum,  realize it was bad form, and edit your original comments to gibberish to protect the innocent FAs who were only trying to better their situations.  Alas it was too late, so you came back on and asked others to edit their comments.  In doing so you only gave greater credibility to your original post.

Along comes your gossip queen friend, happily informing the manager of this thread.  Doing so gets brownie points with the manager and some new accounts along with it.    Own up to your mistake and be a man for God's sake.  You were the catalyst for this one.  Not the informant, or the manager.

It’s definitely weak sauce that YTB posted that stuff and came to blame others.  I think he heard it from the recruiting manager, his friend.  Oddly enough, he could have really F’d his friend over in addition to the poor ML advisors that didn’t leak it to anyone.

WOW

Somethings never change in a wire house office. One rep would screw another rep any time he gets a chance, why so he can keep his job at least for another month!  If you do not call those clients the rep in the next cube will any way! There is no friendship in a wire house office! Get real! If you think it will be any different at the new wire house you transfer to you  are a complete idiot! Happy new year.

Hey YTB, is that Youre the Bitch?  Are you going to let DBCopper wipe your ass like that or are you going to fight back?  Are you a man or a mouse?  You need to let the world know you are not responsible for Fu*&ing the career of innocent FA’s.  All I can say is I hope you dont ever move firms, because if you do, the world will know way before you want them to.  If you would have learned to keep your mouth shut, you would still be in the closet.  Come on man, fight back.

PS.  Your boyfriend says Texas is not far enough for you to be away from him.

Back on topic.  I still think this Friday is a good day to go.  Market is closed the following Monday, so it gives a nice three day weekend to start the transition.

Jan 16, 2009 4:00 am

I think it will be Presidents day weekend.  That will be 6 weeks from the 1st of the year, plenty of time to get office space, furniture, etc and move.  Plus all the year end bonus stuff (if there is any) is paid and out of the way, by then.

Today is not 1/2 over and  a few have already left our complex.  How are things elsewhere?  Rumors are today will be a fairly large exodus day.

Things are good at my complex. 90% payout on securities and 100% on insurance. I’ve been training a new cold caller for the last couple of hours. I don’t think anyone will be leaving today.

It’s the tail end of those ML advisors in the UBS “big boy” pipeline left over from the November-Dec. push.  

Jan 17, 2009 1:04 am

I heard of one large team leaving our complex today.  There may have been more, but the complex manager was too busy sending positive emails on BAC to get around to any negative ones.  I know there will be more in the next few weeks.

Jan 17, 2009 9:01 am

I heard it from a good source at UBS that we’ll be bringing on an additional 800 advisors in the next couple of weeks.  Get ready for a new breed of thundering herd!

Jan 19, 2009 2:12 am

i know of at least 15 ML advisors that left in my area for different firms…some MS, most to UBS…not heard of any other firms…

Jan 19, 2009 4:59 pm

I am predicting no one will leave today.  It should be interesting to hear how many people have left when I head into the office tomorrow.

[/quote]   Hmmm...I guess a closed market doesn't stop me from coming in and doing $11,500 gross of business today.   Definitely should've stayed home today...

$11,500 gross of business today.
 Now that’s something about today worth celebrating! Nicely done.
