you really are a stupid ahole. saying that they will pay on flagged plans implies exactly that. that in general they will pay. not like when you say good luck getting paid and imply that all flagged plans won’t be.   you are the king of broad generalizations and no facts to back your big mouth.

I guess I'd say that I am more convinced today than a week ago that I will be getting paid soon and there isn't going to be some last minute snafu....

However, I am much more convinced that the firm has very serious issues with communication, execution, and trust. Many of us are still angry over the farce from this past Winter w/ false promises.  The lack of communication and effective execution of the entire 4-front process will definitely lead to many of us leaving sooner rather than later.    Like every other broker in my region; I have not heard a damn thing.  No e-mail, no final number etc.    I am cautiously optimistic that I will have my info early next week and my funds by mid-month.    What's odd to me is the fact that smaller producers are being treated the same way as bigger producers.  It would make sense to take care of all of the brokers that have produced the most for the firm and let the rookies and low level producers wait a little longer.  That would make sense, but this firm doesn't.

Thanks 20yr. vet for some intelligent commentary and information. I come on here to find out what others are hearing and thinking…not to read anything from BP or the guys that bash him.   I also have heard nothing -either by email or from management. I agree that they will probably do the right thing but they should know one thing, no one trusts or respects them. People will always remember how this was handled from DAY 1.

Finally you are all waking up. Especially that we are now 100% through “contract week” and I have not read ONE post of someone saying “contract e-mail received”. What a joke. I keep hearing “my manager said”, or “I heard from a co-worker”, why you guys dont just pick up the fun and say “I want to speak to the f*cking head cheese in forefront” is beyone my understanding. Instead you all sit back, bitch, and trash me. There has to be just one LARGE producer on this forum that has the balls to stick their neck out there and make that call.

I have no dog in this fight either, but I would l would love to know what a shrink has to say about BP’s personality.  This has been one of the funniest threads I have read.  Sounds like there is nothing to argue about.  Either you get paid around the middle of September or not.  If not, management will face a lot of good advisors going over the side.

One thing the shrink would say is “Everyone quit using the phrase no dog in this fight”. Its getting a little old. Please somebody think of a new phrase.

We have a winner!

Will someone who has received a confirmation with their contract please stand up?
For those who know others in their respective offices who have received theirs, what regions are you in? I keep hearing about someone else somewhere else getting a contract.
I’m leaving in a year or two so I don’t really give that much of a crap. But I just can’t imagine the firm goes so far to tell us how and when we are getting paid, then does nothing. However, until proven otherwise the actions of the home office are exactly that.

Aug 29, 2009 4:35 am

Yes, those are much better. Actually pretty comical. But lets get back to the one thing nobody wants to addrss, why after infomax supposedly said contracts will be e-mailed out week of 8/24 are they not in your hands? Everyone would rather skirt the issue and pick on me. Good luck guys, maybe they are working hard over the weekend and you will have them in your in box monday morning.

Aug 29, 2009 1:27 pm

Let’s address the issue of why you care. Seriously. You left, get over it.

That kind of sums you up buddy. Posting on message boards as well.
Only one thing worse than a prick who has an M5 and a Million dollar home…A prick who doesn’t. Go back to your hovel and your Geo, Felatio.

  BP.  I like what you're doing here to a point.  Not enough squeeky wheels at WFA.  Lot's of pent up bad emotions.  Nobody going to the top to get answers.  Everybody sitting on their hands.  I however did go to the top.  I had questions and wanted answers.  I got them.  You didn't believe me.  Called me a billion dollar producer.  Billion dollar...no.  Large enough to get answers when I want them...yes.  All...I've been told to expect an email by early next week.  Have been told this for a week or so.  Calm down and enjoy the weekend.  If it doesn't pan out the way we want it...leave.  Lot's of recruiting and good deals going on now.

meletio and skillopie, that was someone else that posted that (M5, 5 mill house)but thanks for following since just 8/22. Please pay attention. Again, I dont have a M5 or a 5mill house, that was some other knucklehead, what I do have is the balls to call corporate when they are screwing me over and ask what the hell is going on. Something every person on this forum lacks.

Aug 29, 2009 5:20 pm

I called corporate and was told early this week we would have an email by end of week. Their was no email sent as of 5pm or so yesterday.
