Year end pay out changes at MS
52 RepliesJump to last post
if your producing less than 300k you will start to be squeezed. if you are doing 1 million or better there will be good incentives to stay! expect more trainees and slowing down on the recruiting! Dont say i didn’t tell you!

How could that be? We already fired all those people months ago, from what I've read here.
Seriously, "squeezed" is so loose a prediction that you'll be able to claim you were right no matter what happens. My guess is the penalty box will move up, but not to 300K and payout will not change at that level.

Hasn't that always been true? A couple of things were added last year, like the productivity bonus, that play into that.

Hmm, well, since there will be a new trainee program I would expect more trainees, but I doubt recruiting will slow down...

Too late for me, annuity-boy, they cut me six months ago when the sub-$300k guys were pushed out
There's a Bloomberg blurb today about MS hiking bonuses to retain bankers and traders so I would not be surprised to see payouts cut in private client on under $300K.
and what are these year-end payout changes at MS retail – are you just making predictions, or has something actually changed?
That link's messed up so just do this:

Key in MS (ticker symbol) then hit "news." You should be able to access it if even if you don't have Bloomberg (at least today).

I think this is what you’re talking about, from yahoo;
link redacted
This was previously announced and doesn’t mention payouts. We’ll have to
see if the low end is cut in payouts at the expense of the top. You just never
know.
er, uh, should read “if the top payout is increased at the expense of the bottom…”
Thanks, Mike---I missed that one.
I haven't seen anything in writing yet on payouts being changed again in private client. If I do, I will post it.
[quote=fired?]300k for every LOE? What will the cutoff be? 8+?[/quote]
If you're asking me I'd say I seriously doubt a cut at 300k. That would simply affect far too many people. There's an outside chance, imho, that the penalty box payout level might be moved that high for very senior LOSs, but I doubt that as well. I think currently that's at 200k, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it move to 250k for LOS 8 or so and above.
[quote=frumhere]Mike...were you seriously cut or was that an attempt at humor?[/quote]
Was it that bad an attempt?
Of course it was a try at humor. Not only would the cut not have affected me, there wasn't any (long prodicted) cut.

Sales assistants don't get cut for production. They only get cut if they spill nail polish on their keyboards.

You sure have lots of time on your hands to post lame jokes and racial slurs, Dirk. Is it because the regulators have shut you down?
