When you get the email, you will not want to sign the note. Way too many strings. WFC is holding all the Cards.

The contract is already on the system and I’ve already had my attorney look at it, but thanks big guy.

Okay, check back with me when you get the email. The infomax sample was just that, a sample. The one you will be asked to sign is not the same one.

I have heard (no official word) there were over 4000 FAs that qualified for an award.  I have heard email to be sent the next few days.

Dont get me wrong I am looking forward to the extra cash, but I am completely focused on generating new revenue right now. And have already qualified for level 2 (another 50K). This 4front program was brilliantly conceived in a very dicey environment - I am rather surprised that Wells went for it.   This, imo, is the best firm going these days. I am very thankful that we are basically done combinig firms and can focus on operating a better firm.   We will all get paid in the coming days ahead - not weeks or months. Be patient.[/quote]     4000 that's it.  Is that 4000 of the entire 16000 FAs.  So 1/4 of the salesforce participated and they are giving us this much crap.  So you are telling me that they were not prepared for only 1/4 of the salesforce participating.  what a bunch of idiots.  [/quote]

LOL!! Doesn't take much to get you revered up. Lets see over 4000, well that could be say 15000 or maybe 4500 or maybe 12000 or maybe 7000 or....get my point?
[/quote]Hey Hyde-home office-ho': reading your posts I think you're in charge of the envision review.  Must KILL you when brokers get paid.  Last Premier Advisor conference call the 4,000 number was brought up as well.  Since the number of advisors participating in forefront is being used as an excuse, why would they pick that number if it was actually higher?  What's next for you? -- in charge of explaining to the FAs the new bimonthly comp plan?

I like Skillopie, he makes more sense than all of you put together. Why someone wouldnt take it ALL upfront is beyond me. Wells would screw you over in a second down the road. Once the check is in the bank you hold the cards, much better than “Yeah, but they still owe me”.

Not home office NUMBNUTS.
Already have FA's that have been paid in our Market. Of course the FA's have used Envision since it came out. No extra work for them. Nothing like pocketing a cool $1 Million+, in one case for work done years ago. LOL! Maybe you should have done the work.
Only in America do people expect something for nothing!
Vote for Obamma did ya?

This thread is very interesting to read, I feel sorry for the reps that are stuck working for such a crappy bank but I cannot believe they are not trying to get out of there!

I cannot believe that rookies are still applying for jobs at this $#!T bank.   Rookies really need to read this thread!

Since I don’t want to go through 44 pages, can anyone explain what the original rules were and what they are today?

Sep 2, 2009 8:44 pm

Ludenman, hayes et al will be gone within 90 days. Wells will put in their peeps.   

Sep 2, 2009 9:55 pm

Ab your an idiot. Got a call from advisor firend still with WFA. He had 82 plans and 8 were highlighted, company only paid on 78 of the plans, 4 were rejected

bingo   



hit a nerve.



how cool

Sep 2, 2009 11:22 pm

DL, et al ,may be gone shortly after the best advisors are under contract, or, they will adopt the swiss model that WFC wants. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Some really good firms legacies are gone forever, Pru,Wac,AGE, and others, to try a new experiment. Locking up the advisors is the first step. Most managers are encouraging the upfront election. The ones that aren't smells therat, and, is keeping the option open to move the branch. Tough position for managers.

Ferriss, you made me laugh. Although when your check from MS/SB is already cashed most everything is funny. It is nice to see some intelligent humor on this forum for a change. I hope each and every one of you get paid for ALL envisions, but unfortuantley it is not looking that way.

Sep 3, 2009 1:16 am

Ok liar. I’ll call your bluff.
