Baird Analysts Unionizing?
Word on the street is they let this analyst go when he needed surgery and he’s trying to start a union for junior banker hours and other working conditions.
What do you guys think lol?

That’s a bold strategy Cotton let’s see how it plays out for him
Crazy if true
Need more info that’s wild
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Yeap it's true. The guy's full of himself, we went to the same college.
how are you going to be full of yourself yet you work at Baird lmao
There’s a food chain in banking…baird guys make fun of…Lincoln and Stifel juniors??
Soft AF
Sorry to hear about whatever his medical thing was I guess, but even contemplating a union as the solution for a problem is so fucking lame
Sounds like he's pot committed because a union is the only way he'd ever work in finance again...
What does this mean?
After trying to unionize an analyst class he'll never work in finance again unless he's successful in getting the class unionized and joins that union.
Why is everyone making fun of this guy? Not commenting on the fact of if this union could or couldnt work or whatever but based on the fact juniors post rants every other day about the working conditions and how people are depressed, unhealthy etc.. but when someone tries to fight back you guys just laugh. Isnt he to some extent trying to help you? Doesnt matter what bank hes at it will start a new page for ib working conditions regardless
Hope the surgery goes well man. 🙏
What is there not to make fun of? No joke, I saw the name of this thread and coughed on my drink because I wasn't ready for something so funny.
Go on analysts, form a union. Better yet, promote it on WSO whose content is a nonstop reminder of how many talented, hardworking kids are ready to do your job if you don't want it. Fight the power!
You’re crazy…
First of all, this guy is helping you too and if you think it’s normal to be fired when you need surgery then think again.
Secondly, you think it’s that seamless to replace people in banking ? Sure, there’s people who want to lateral but:
1) the top performers are not going to lateral and even less to some MM bank
2) Junior analysts are basically useless for the first 6 months and still very very junior until 1.5 yrs in unless they’re superstars
The time and money wasted on recruiting and training is not trivial - as an Associate, I could expand my capacity by at least 30% if not more depending on whether I work with a bad analyst or a good one
We're making fun of him because it's a fucking union. That should be a third rail issue, full stop.
Private sector unions are a death cult that kill every single industry that they come into contact with (a current notable example being online publishing). "High Finance" in the 21st century is going to have enough of a challenge just staying ahead of all the waves of tech that are coming to compete away its margins, if they suddenly have to also deal with leftist junior bankers the whole industry is fucking toast. Unions are parasites that kill the host.
Very well said.
And shame on the econ/finance departments that let these kids graduate with such twisted beliefs.
Not trying to stoke the flames but just want to offer some clarity:
The circumstances around this person as an employee / being let go as presented by him and others are NOT accurate
The unionizing stuff is not actually real, this individual is simply posting things in a frenzy
Please do not pour on a person who clearly needs some actual help right now
Curious about the ms. Is that implying that what I’ve said isn’t true about his employment? I work there, I’m well aware of what happened vs what is being shared
Is it because I acknowledged he’s having a mental health crisis and saying we should avoid mocking him?
Weird response
Finance has a stigma for a reason. It’s the people.
You're correct - I've seen the person in question's LinkedIn posts. I saw this happen before with another person on LinkedIn. 100% a mental health crisis. Hope he finds the help he needs.
Okay so what actually happened and what are he and others claiming?
Not going to air the laundry of a guy having a public meltdown who legitimately needs help
But obviously somebody posting bizarre incoherent shit isn’t going to be a great source of sober information about what happened
This person was never a full time employee of the firm
Mental health crisis (think Manic Episode, Paranoid Schizophrenia, Crack Addiction)
would never work. too many non target "strivers" who would gladly do their MDs laundry for them everyday to "break in". people have very little self respect in this industry.
granted, i would LOVE to see one of those inflatable rats outside a IB headquarters in midtown with a bunch of dorky looking hardos in patagonia vests and cole haans shouting and yelling nearby. I would actually pay money to see it.
Share some more info please!
Not sure what unionizing an analyst class means but some advice:
You and your analyst class should absolutely be close with each other and everyone should either help each other or set the standard for how you guys will act. For example, if you all decide to go into office at 9:30am, then that’s better than some people going in at 8:30, some at 9, some at 9:30, as it makes the people who show up on time look like they’re late.
I understand the whole comradery thing but listen... if I want to roll in at 8am because I'm a morning person then I'm going to roll in at 8am. If I leave at 6pm, Im leaving at 6pm because I want to.
I will help my fellow analysts crank slides but Im not going to alter my schedule and purposely make my wlb worse to not make someone else look bad.
This is what an anti-competition, bottom-bucket cuck would say.
WSO filled with corporate cucks. Unions are good
What is IB-CB
Facts
They should pick up pitch forks and torched
Here’s how Bernie can still win…
incredibly incredibly based
Great way to ensure you’re never hired by another shop
OP is 100% the kid that tried to start this ‘union’. Absolute loser and a complete idiot lmao. Have fun finding a job after this, kid has been spam posting on linkden, absolute laughingstock (highly recommend everyone go check it out)
