Some may think we are just slowing down and releasing some dead weight but the truth is we have been outsourced to manilla RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW in PG3 we are training foreign people from another country to do OUR jobs. ETRADE sucks and could give a crap about the people it employs and was a false hope for alot of people looking for a good job.

Looks like somebody's got a case of the Mondays! Darn. That would have worked so much better if dxn553's comment had been on 5/22 instead of 5/21. Uh oh.

I have a seaking suspicion that you weren't on the phone much in your 6 yr tenure, or, perhaps, that your job previous to ET was in a Siberian labor camp.

It has been an absolutely wonderful experience. Those of you who whining about long hours and poor mgmt need a dose of reality . Sack it up, get a real job or go back to momma. It's obvious that this is your first job out of college, maybe you should intern at MacDonald's. Sweatshop my A$$. I’ve been with ET for 6 years. It has been an absolutely wonderful experience.

Ahh E*Trade. Yes, they have a history of these things, but when I was there it was pretty cush. I'm an XETer myself. I was involved in the first outsourcing wave back in 2002. They shutdown most of engineering/operations in the only two story building (PG2 if I remember correctly) and shipped almost everything out that spanking new facility (I saw it in 2002 and it's pretty impressive) in Alpharetta, GA. A few high level engineers managed to save themselves and some of us were offered positions in GA. From what I hear a few remaining tech people were offered jobs in Menlo. BTW, If you were in Eng/Ops at Rancho back in the day I hear there's a shindig going on at Friends coming up. Contact me to be added to the list.

Their Rancho location has been in slow shut down mode for a while. From what I've heard from people who worked there, everything sac-eats has said is true. The place ran their employees into the ground, and the financial job market in Sacramento is full of E*Trade survivors and refugees.

I think it ranked right there with pyramid builder or black plague body collector for employee moral. I do feel bad for some of the longtime employees there who had the intestinal fortitude to stick it out there for all those years. I wonder if they will outsource all those jobs?
