The new COO from HK wants Retail to manage our time and distributors' expectations,
so that Compliance has 4-5 days turnaround time to review our materials.

She must be crazy.

Which fund house can survive with a compliance turnaround time of 4-5 days?

Is this a valid reason we could give the authorities if our regulatory reporting is late?

Seriously, we work our asses off till 11pm almost everyday,
while compliance gets off on the dot at 6.
Just because the Compliance Head was asked to leave,
does that justify the complaints filed against Retail that we're giving her too much work?
Should we commit to their turnaround time,
it could only be done if we clock even longer hours.
Since you can't delay the regulators, and your clients,
the only way out is to shorten our own turnaround time.

If you can't cope, leave.
Quit scheming and bitching behind people's back and maybe you'll get more work reviewed.

Pregnancy is no longer an acceptable excuse for your non-existent work performance.
