Brokerage CSS PIPs Rolling Out

My site is pushing hard on metrics for client facing phone roles in brokerage. They are putting any below the national average on key metrics like CPH on an “unofficial” PIP. So, lots of people getting put on a PIP.

I’m hearing from other site leaders this is a strategy to push reps up or out, documenting everything and focusing more on tenured reps.

Anyone else affected by this or seen this play out before?


I have a heart burn - with this offshore thing.. /

I am from India, but went through the University -> H-1B -> Citizenship route a while ago in Tech space. At that time, there was no fraud or offshoring, and very few select people got an H1B. I really appreciated the opportunity provided to me.

Now I am seeing all these young kids from the US are being short-changed with offshoring. Any US layoff or attrition is being filled offshore. That mandate is coming way, way above. If you don't provide opportunities for young kids, what will happen to the next generation? This is 100% wrong. I want to take someone fresh out of school and mentor them with what I've learned - but all goes offshore. Almost like seeing Manufacturing going offshore in the 80's and 90s.

I am not sure why nothing is being done... I feel like people here are more subservient and submissive than in other countries. (sorry)

Are they really that cheap?

No longer can get a masters degree? Are these clowns really continuing to go down this cost savings route? We already have zero job growth with no new positions anywhere in finance (and other depts). Whatever, the company su-ks now and I’ll just do the bare minimum until I find something better

Why cling to a company that doesn’t want you?

I’m genuinely curious. Why are you clinging to a company that no longer wants you?

I was an IC that took initiative and did impactful work that improved the performance of my entire team many times but my manager’s actions showed that they didn’t appreciate me or value me so I volunteered to be laid off and I was.

Actions speak louder than words and I think many of them look down on their underlings. So why are you clinging to these arrogant a**holes?


Eric moving forward

Just saw a post on LinkedIn that was

Excited to share my next chapter at Xerox! And then the post went on to share that this person moved into a director role and how they will continue to help Xerox on the transformation journey.

What wasn’t said but I bet is true: 1) this person is part of the 20% moving up at Xerox 2) while others whine about no pay raises this person created their pay raise 3) this person will continue to change Xerox for the better.

Congrats to another 20% worker changing our company for the better. Yes this was posted in the last 24 hours and this person moved into a new position after a round of lay offs.
