Looking to recruit a partner and long time friend from MSSB land to go Indie with me. In the Southeast, smaller MS and SB offices seem to be merging somewhat randomly and sales managers and operations employees need to re-interview for positions as the new complex structure takes hold. Offices are somewhat n the dark about the future, staffing, comp etc.   It appears to be somewhat random depending upon location. How is anyone else affected, are you losing managers, ops personnel, or merging offices??   Thanks.
