Thread regarding Edward Jones layoffs

You matter-Really?

It is so frustrating to hear all about summer regionals, the importance of them bringing families together and continuing the culture blah blah blah. Meanwhile back in headquarters the minions are hard at work and all the fun and culture building things that used to exist are gone under PP reign. Too expensive, leave out the remote workers who chose to be remote, who get to work from home and see their kids during the summer, who get to wear sweats all day, no commute but the in office people can’t have any of the family connection, culture building activities they used to have. No bring your kid to work day, no real founder’s day-zip, zero, nothing. Oops, you still get the tricycle races which is more about the GPs participating and showing off than anything else. But make sure you know YOU MATTER.

"all the fun and culture building things that used to exist"

This never existed, unless of course, you are a bootlicker. You aren't a bootlicker now, are you?

I know the fighting between in-office vs remote employees is exactly what the ELT wants to happen. The more distracted we are pointing fingers at each other, the less fingers we have to point at our supreme leaders.

Remember, you can’t spell “elite” without ELT.

Sorry but I cant really empathize with what youre saying. All home office employees are being squeezed. Remote workers are not staying home with their kids and eating Popsicles. Theyre putting in long hours just like local people--and are worried about when, not if the other shoe drops and elt fires them.

Any culture is driven by the field. Not anyone in hq leadership.

All roles, field and ho, are being squeezed by elt for automation and offshoring.

The common enemy isnt someone working 1000 miles away. Its leadership.

@OP , I stopped my donations to A&E, United Way and outings with GP a few years back. I also opted to not show up to these events.
