Thread regarding Edward Jones layoffs

Who is coming in and singing praises for changes and leaders on THIS site?!?

Reddit, facebook, youtube, tiktok, those are all places that someone popping and going “oh it is not that bad” makes sense. But why here?

This is not a commonly known social media site. You have to look to find it. And the vast majority of us here are scared or mad or both. Why would someone who feels like everything is going just fine and we need to just relax take the time to come here and comment on all these posts?

Are they bots? Trolls? Associates whose job it is to manage the narrative and image? What do they hope to accomplish? Make all of us realize that even though we may lose our livelihood and belief in the company we have devoted so much life to, that really it is no big deal? Or divide us up and make us feel even more alone?

Whoever you are, you have every right to your opinion, but your “copy of a copy” phrases will not change anyone here. We are united in the trauma of this layoff. You can’t change that.

@ar "job looses in all sektors"?

Can we IP ban all of India from posting on this site?

Like most companies management is cutting the fat to remain competitive and stay in business. This is a for profit endeavour. Not government with money printing habilities
Plus, many offices have minimal RTO requirements especially in Florida and Georgia. With so many job looses in all sektors people are cashing in their investments and savings. More money is going out than coming in. ECON 101 good sir

@OP, everyone handles situations differently. We also don't know other situations with the "re-imagined."

Like I commented earlier; "I'm having a great weekend" despite the work week and the not knowing.

It's all about how you look at life. You can be confident and seize on opportunities. Or you can wallow in self pity and die slowly.

The numbers floating around say 10-15% will be laid off. However, if you spin it, 85-90% will stay.

There are definitely trolls on this site and people that clearly do not even work at the company. It's even worse on some other companies' pages if you look around. So take things here with a grain of salt, it very well may not be your coworkers.

@a4 I mean DC worked at McKinsey. Those people only know how to slash and burn.

@a1….. tough economy? We are in a level 9 bonus bracket, not 0. This is all about profits for the senior executives PP hired. I’d rather see more money go to FAs and BOAs vs paying these former Citigroup and Morgan Stanley flunkies. . It’s kinda funny that Chubak hinted at the idea a few years ago that we should feel lucky to have a job at all. Funny how that comment forecasted this layoff.
