MS Layoff Wave Next Week

As MS has tanked brutally deal-flow wise YTD, heard from some of my VP/D level friends at BBs that a decent (but not outsized) chunk of MS is going to be on the chopping block next week, likely Tuesday. Curious to see if the majority of the heads rolling will be DEI deadweights or the fratty 6'3 UVA lax stars.

I thought we’d made it past the nadir and the deal flow has been picking up? Last quarter performance topped estimates. Doesn’t make sense, unless management thinks the situation will get worse in the upcoming quarters
