It’s bad enough we have the layoffs hanging over our heads. Now we have some of these GPS trying to aggressively save their own skin and throw others into the fire.

How many of us will be fired or laid off to pay for this increase in pay? I have no doubt that this will result in some cuts. It's always us who end up paying for those at the top, whether it's something like this or to make up for another one of... — read more

David Chubak and Ryan Littlemore should be in the St. Louis home office location three days per week like the rest of us. No more hiding in NYC the whole work week on Zoom meetings.

The timing of these announcements is outright hilarious

It's official... it's so over for EDJ. Penny has aligned EDJ with the other F500s to implement an array of change that just about every corporation has/is done/doing. We're not a special company anymore... we toe the line. So if Penny's ridiculous... — read more 

Are there any indications that HBA(Remote) associates will be impacted more than St Louis based associates?

Does anyone have a copy of the announcement? Need to see if the wording is consistent for everyone.

No wonder why they keep hiring people that refuse to live in St Louis. They can cut us and not feel guilty. Firm is being destroyed by McKinsey and Penny.

I have been hearing that the firm could offer early retirement option to folks near retirement as a part of the reimagine process. What does early retirement mean? It is not like we have a pension program.

Does anybody know when the layoffs will start? I'm hoping it's going to happen soon to avoid too much unnecessary stress. Even if I'm on the list, I'd rather know right now so I can figure out what to do next instead of waiting and wondering for who... — read more 

i have been with the firm 4 years and we have too many people only working at 25% percent capacity. they should have done it long ago. some of the laziest entitled people i've ever seen

I’m ready to reimagine my life and finally start enjoying some of the fruits of my labor. I just hope that none of what’s coming will negatively impact people who are truly in need of a job, especially those with no other options at this moment, for... — read more

Don’t worry guys, Tech has been told that any changes that result in an outage is an automatic Needs Improvement rating for the associate, leader, and director. Once all the good people quit, I am sure service will get better.

Any updated info on the recent FA released in Cedar Rapids? The RL shared any details?

Layoffs coming next week abt 650 ppl

I am amazed at how far behind this place is with technology.

This site has so much potential to help each other. As we watch teammates being quietly let go and replaced with offshore. And contractors told they are going to be hired full time then dismissed without a second thought. So this is budget cuts but... — read more 

It's no secret that every F500 has bought and started implementing DEI across the board. Black rock/ESG, etc. Edward Jones is no different. Despite the thin veil of word-smithed keywords, and fancy corporate initiatives, DEI is and always will be by... — read more 

I dreamed I tried to go back to the office but I couldn’t because the place was packed wall to wall with agile coaches telling each other how amazing they are.

Layoffs confirmed for T3 this year. It's about time - many associates at HO have hovering around 25% capacity working towards Penny's nonsense vision.

I've been working for EJ for about 20 years now. I cannot complain about anything, no layoffs and the company is doing really well now.

Anybody has more info here? I heard rumors but I left in 2009 and I am just curious.
