Wimbledon Player Begs Morgan Stanley to Give His ‘Lucky Charm’ Sister More Time Off Work
Ben Shelton, ranked No. 10 in the world, is playing in the quarter-final round on Wednesday.
Morgan Stanley’s return-to-office (RTO) policy is clear: The company’s 15,000 advisors and most other employees are expected to be in the office at least four days per week.
But what happens if your brother is playing on one of tennis’s biggest stages? After winning his fourth-round Wimbledon match on Monday, professional tennis player Ben Shelton, who’s ranked No. 10 in the world, asked Morgan Stanley (live on international television) to give his “lucky charm” sister more vacation time to help him continue. He is set to play in the quarter-final on Wednesday against the No. 1-ranked Jannik Sinner.
“I’ve been playing well this week. It’s not just been me here. My parents are here. My girlfriend’s here. Also, my sister’s here. She’s been here for every match that I’ve played this tournament so far,” Shelton said. “She’s been the lucky charm. But she has work back in the U.S., starting on Monday. She works for Morgan Stanley.”
Shelton’s sister, Emma, works as a Virtual Engagement Associate at Morgan Stanley in Georgia, according to her LinkedIn.
“If any of you all have [connections] and get her a couple of extra days off so we can keep this rolling, that’d be great,” Shelton continued.
It looks like it worked. Later on Instagram, Shelton can be seen asking his sister if she got off work, and she jumps for joy.
“Shout out, Morgan Stanley,” he said.
