Options.... pissed off/incurred wrath of MD
Burner account - just coming out of reviews and wondering what to do.... advice from experienced chimps desired
Long story short - I incurred the wrath of my boss. Got stiffed hard in reviews/comp/promo - sucks but is what it is. The more worrisome issue is I believe they are trashing me to anyone mutual connections, or anyone who will listen; i went to a non-target and got a backchannel heads up that someone at my firm was poking around talking about me; similar vibes from family members. Has anyone experienced this level of effort in squeezing a grunt (self-label) out of the industry? How can i possibly come back from this? Maybe I cant.

Goodness gracious what did you do, sleep with his wife? I can’t imagine why anyone would go through that much effort to trash a junior employee’s reputation if there isn’t anything personal between them.
dont want to go into details. embarrassed him at a mgmt meeting.
They're contacting your family members?!
NY finance is a small world... even smaller during the pandemic...
sounds like a no, as to hearing about similar examples....
Probably because they no longer work in finance... LOL
Probably time to start looking. You can try to curry favor with him, but he’s likely made up his mind about you. Any time I’ve seen a boss turn on someone the employee eventually leaves. Why did you embarrass him?
Can you talk about what you did in the mgmt meeting so we could learn from it?
Very much following
damn...that's awful, what the fuck happened at the meeting!?
Someone at my bank really embarrassed an MD on a call (wasn’t on mute). They usually get over it pretty quick but your md sounds psychotic. Leave the bank or group (probably bank). It’s banking, I know, but there are still laws in place and you’d think a bank would put more effort into not getting sued.
What laws is the MD breaking? Sucks for OP that his MD is being an asshole and overly vindictive, but that's not illegal.
I assume they’re referring to constructive dismissal.
This can happen in any industry honestly.
At this point there is no salvaging scrapes out of this. Just lateral or leave for a different company/firm.
Yes, small world. However, if you are feeling this now, it would not be the first time this MD has done this to someone.
I would avoid bad mouthing the firm/MD when you go to future interviews or talk to people who could be a potential job prospect for you. This doesn’t give a good impression.
Keep your head up. There are plenty of firms/companies around.
You've gotten some generic advice, but if you want the specific (read: useful) advice, then you're going to have to elaborate on what happened.
Have you considered approaching the MD directly to apologize?
This may already be out of your hands, but a sincere apology may at least cool his rage a bit and discourage him from investing further time/energy on trashing you.
Posting anonymously - just got straight up terminated because of a similar situation. Wasn't any discrete single thing that I did wrong like blowing up my group head in front of management or anything, but we definitely butted heads over time and I would push back on things I thought were unreasonable, or not kiss ass and like laugh at all the stupid jokes he would tell, which I guess damaged his sensitive ego so much that he then had a personal vendetta against me the rest of the year and made a solo decision w/o consulting anybody else on the team, despite me being the strongest junior resource on the team and getting promoted early last year.
I was going to quit at YE anyways, but yeah, shit sucks. Just so depressing how 1 person can destroy what used to be an amazing team culture and then because he's the person in charge, can make decisions w/o any buy in from the rest of the team (nobody else would've supported this, that I know for a fact). Oh well.
My advice is to GTFO and make sure you have people from your old firm willing to back you and support your side of the story as needed.
Jesus that sounds brutal. What time of firm was this at? Since you were planning on leaving in a couple weeks anyway, do you have another gig lined up?
