Who is MEC? She is Canadian wicked witch who left GS to come to work for RJ, her peers think that she is crazy, her direct reports know that she is crazy. Her real name is Mary EVIL!!

Who is MEC?

She always used MEC on her emails. It's not fear. It's how we (or at least I) know her.

What are you all afraid to mention MEC by name?

MEC was hired by Dave Allen. MEC brought discipline, but used instead of helping and supporting the teams to change she prefer to belittle people, yell at them, tell them they are worthless and are do not know what they are doing, tell them it is too... — read more 

Tranlation (my. 02) IT support will be hit again with layoffs. More for ops too. It seems as if this layoff thing is a long term plan.

yes, MEC is a Bella crony. in a lot of ways, I think Bella brought her in specifically to disrupt and confuse people to help drive them out before layoffs were to happen.

Let's see..... We had layoffs in fixed income, ECM, operations, some PCG; when do the executive management cuts begin? just curious.

Is MEC a Bella disciple?

to the person who said they liked MEC. for a while, I thought I did too. i think discipline is good, but there's a way to treat people when you're a high level professional. when i saw how she went about doing things and how she treated people, i... — read more 

Everybody in Memphis took a poll and we don't want Kevin back. You can't expect to completely screw us over without returning the favor every once in a while!

Memphis, will you take Kevin Edwards back. He complains to much and is going to be a problem. Was he like that at MK?

Pelham, it is one thing to bring discipline, its another to bring abuse. Her tactics were completely inappropriate in a place of business. I wouldn't talk to my dog the way I heard her talk to her staff. You treat people like dirt you get what you... — read more 

I am one of the apparently few people who actually likes MEC. She brought discipline to RJF. Too much, too quickly for our laid back culture, but discipline nonetheless.

There were more layoffs today!

I meant to say those people that didnt think any VPs were laid off were NOT correct.

Meant to say were NOT correct. D Carlson was a VP.

I am replying to some old comments here. Most of the people who were let go in April were the underachievers. There were a few that butted heards with MEC which I don't agree to. However the rest had to of seen it coming for years. Upper management... — read more

The Ops layoffs have begun. Ops Managers are starting to be layedoff

I just cant take what upper management is doing to RJ. Isn't it obvious that one of the issues is Tim Bradford? Just look at this message board and see how many times he has been mentioned. I am still in disbelief that when it came to light that Tim... — read more

MEC AKA the Wicked Witch of Canada, had made so many people miserable and unhappy. I heard that she is going to go out on leave, maybe to get some training on how to get along with people and manage them as opposed to yelling at them. She is moving... — read more

Why are you bashing people that had nothing to do with the layoffs on this site? In any case, is it true that MEC is on medical leave now? Did someone finally listen to what people walking out the door were saying?

Didn't Tim Bradford's wife catch him cheating on her with a co-worker? Rumor had it that Matt Watts in AIG (aka fatty matty) was messing around with one of his employees, Ruth. HR handled it by shippibg Ruth off to work in a branch in tampa. That... — read more

Womanizer

Saw Tim Bradford goofing around with his webcam. He contacted someone while I was meeting with her. Not business related. Why doesn't IT pull records on him? He is always on his iPhone and iPad with eBay alerts setup. He talks the talk but does not... — read more

I wish they would all stay in Memphis.

Did someone below say there was a layoff recently (a few days ago) in Memphis IT? That one slipped my radar.

Why do they keep laying good people off while at the same time move 2 of the most unliked and unproductive people in Memphis IT to St. Pete. Good for the ones that stay in Memphis but bad for those in St. Pete. Also, one is known for his recreational... — read more
