#planning

Every single day I hear of more people from corporate that are leaving the company. Primarily Planning positions. I am certainly not overlooking this. Think there will be a ton within the next 2 months. All the commuters will be done the first of the year too. Good luck to everyone

If you make 2 or 3x the average household income in the USA, then you should be saving and index investing that extra 50 or 66 percent. If you don't, you are living a risky existence for stupid material things that mean nothing in the long run. Look at all of these posts here on the layoff forum. Realize that you are only 1 bad management decision away from earning a goose egg for a living. I retired at age 52. Because I earned several millions in about 20 years of working as a software developer at Fidelity Investments, by investing in index funds. I didn't want to retire but my stupid boss wanted to PIP me. And I had enough money. And I had enough of his BS. And I had an option to get out of the working world entirely. Because of simple decisions like driving a 20 year old car. And working on it myself. And investing in index funds. So simple. The future is never guaranteed. The present is your zone to make the most of, in the best interest of your future self. Layoff forum is just a wake up call to make your future financially secure.

This company is out to reduce head count by hook or crook.
Plan your next financial and career plan ahead.
Don’t assume you can stay here till you are 60 or 65.

I can’t imagine anyone genuinely thinking layoffs at EJ are temporary. The patterns are clear, and it’s only going to get worse unless leadership takes a serious look at long-term planning. Face it folks. Layoffs are here to stay.

Just letting everyone know, the planning is underway. I've seen multiple things come through my email. Oct is going to su-k. I can't say more because I like my pay check and I'm sure it will be gone soon enough.

The consulting firm that came up with planning the layoffs really robbed Edward Jones. I'm in the wrong line of business if you can get paid for this outcome. This felt like Layoff PI Planning. We're all waiting for the final read out.

Dreading the upcoming nonsense of the week ahead. More rush, rush, rush....more being overworked due to the slacking of others....more nannying and nagging by PMs who are more important in their own heads than they really are....more last minute bs that becomes an emergency due to poor planning of other teams.....i could go on for hours

I am really worried about what joining Cenovus means for our jobs. Will there be layoffs or restructuring? The uncertainty is stressful.

Hi everyone, has anyone heard any credible updates or timelines regarding potential future layoffs? Just trying to stay informed and plan accordingly. Thanks in advance.
