[quote=20yrVet]I guess I’ll believe it when I see my email.  This firm has done another horrific job w/ communication during this entire process.  I believe the intentions are good, but the execution of nearly everything the company attempts is pathetically executed.  [/quote]

I guess you wanted them to call/email you everyday letting you know they are working on yours!! Or maybe they should just work on it!!
They said do this you will get paid, well they were overwhelmed by the numbers done and some half done. Until you don’t paid by 9/15 then the execution was flawed.

Here is a story. FA did a  half-assed job on a bunch so they were flagged. When the manager met with them all they could say was “What do i have to do to get paid?”. Do you think that may have put a king in the whole process if you had a lot of these problems?

you're so sad. if you really left this firm, and your time is spent like this, you need to go grab some money out of your big bank account, you top producer, you, , go buy a hooker, have a nice dinner for 1, and try not kill yourself

or....

for god's sake, let it go! maybe you'll qualify for the level one snapshot next June

Actually at this point I am the BIG winner in this whole bonus game. 40% through the supposed “contract week”, lets hope you guys get something soon.

Aug 26, 2009 4:30 pm

Just spoke to my manager and agreements being mailed to branch this week

Aug 27, 2009 12:13 am

60% of “contract week” now over. Does just one person have an e-mailed contract yet? I didnt think so.

dude.    



I have no dog in fight but you really are one annoying MF.   You must be a real pain in the ass to be around.   

Im guessing a minimum of 3 P.O. boxes are getting your alimony checks. AND ill bet at least one of your kids has been to rehab.

Quagmire - Infomax blah blah blah, Jim Hayes blah blah blah, focus you idiot - do you have a contract? Do you have a check? Wasnt Hayes the one who said, Two more weeks on retention? about 10 times, man youve got a short memory.

Aug 27, 2009 4:21 am

Good one Ferris, are you an 8 year old? Or an 8 year old with no contract I should say.

    You idiot, told you back in October there would be NO RETENTION and you spewed bs for 5 F-ing months about it was coming from someone who knew someone who knew someones wife.  There was NOTHING, now your talking about calling your shot in the past.  You were dead wrong.

I want to thank all of you frequent posters to this site for providing many of us with comic relief during these trying times.  I followed the retention thread back in the early part of this year, and although not a one of you was remotely close to the truth, you had some great insults back and forth.  I forgot all about you until a few days ago, and here you were. 

The big question is this: What are you going to BITCH about next once you receive your respective 4front awards?  I don't want to miss out one the sitcom.   Thanks for all you do for us.

BP,

Give me your guidance. What is the firms out for not paying?

They spent countless hours creating this program. Countless hours having us compile these plans, countless hours examining them at the home office level and the branch level.
We’ve received preliminary numbers about what we are going to get paid. We are now in the process of selecting how we want to get paid (upfront loan bonus, partial upfront/backend)…

Are you actually saying the firm would go through all that just to kick the advisors in the nuts? Who does that and why? What value does that add to the firm to create such an extensive mind game for it’s sales force? It doesn’t boost business. It doesn’t boost profits, it doesn’t boost retention of advisors. It doesn’t boost morale.

No doubt, the JO’s in management have done a piss poor (and I am being kind) job of communicating with us, starting with Danny and on down. But is it your contention that all of the above, which has happened, will lead to FA’s getting $0?


Aug 28, 2009 7:04 am

No, I am saying they sent you snapshot saying you qualified for X at the end of June, then said “wait, we want to review”, now will send back highlighted plans as “not qualified” and wont pay you. They are going to jack you around, just watch

Aug 28, 2009 11:57 am

I have to echo A b and Happy’s comments. I have no dog in this fight. This is the most entertaining thread I’ve read in a long time. I have to disagree with A b and Ferris though - I think it would be impossible for BP to get laid.

And this would be the same source that told you that we were getting retention? The same source that made you so confident in retention that you chose the name BE PATIENT? Or is this just speculation? Either way, I'd say you have no credibility here.

We will see. Good luck getting paid on those “highlighted” forefronts

    funny ur such a  d*** man   ex-wives.    i think im on to something   come clean BP.    your among friends   how many?   (over / under is 2 1/2)   big money flowing heavy to  OVER    
Aug 28, 2009 4:56 pm

ignore BP. They are paying on flagged plans.   it’s not a blanket approval so some won’t count, but to make a general statement like that is absurd. He has no source.

Aug 28, 2009 7:08 pm

Either do you Premier. In the same sentence you say they are paying on flagged plans AND that some wont count. Your a tard. Thank God you are not handling MY money. Which is it, are they paying on flagged plans or not? No wait, it is up to corporate and of course they will definately side with the advisor

Aug 28, 2009 7:40 pm
A buddy had his plans submitted 2 weeks ago and hasn't heard anything since.    Wasn't it said that payment would be within 60 days of the snapshot date?  That is today right?   It does appear that the program is moving forward, just not on the timetable originally expressed...   There seems to be some serious back office / mgt issues over at the formally wachovia advisors... sounds like some trust issues as well.   Pay the folks as promised and in timely fashion -- and then move forward.
