Thread regarding Edward Jones layoffs

What time of day?

What time do we think they’re going to send these emails/meeting invites? Is it going to be the first thing in the morning on Monday so everyone can mentally check out all day or are they going to wait until like 4pm as they’ve done with several of the announcements?

@bd

I was in the Manchester auditorium during her early days as Managing Partner and heard her say “Folks, when I took this job I didn’t know what the responsibilities were” [PAUSE: WHAT?] “but I figured out it was to talk about Edward Jones!”

Just wow. Your job is to LEAD Edward Jones, but instead you handed off the reins to NY partners and consultants. We pay the price while you live nice - with an estimated $120M net worth.

@b9 Penny is only a dum--ss for surrounding herself with people that she lets make decisions for her and that manipulate her. She happy just being the talking head and letting others steer the ship.

@b9 Suzan, KJ, and Dolan made that call = RTO

They didn't like not having people around to help them feel important/in control.

This is not the last of the ISPs. PP stated that this is only one round. Additional rounds are planned throughout 2026.

@af how does it feel to have a nose full of sh!t? Or do you enjoy the humiliation of being cuck for leadership who hates you?

Our entire department is being advised to WAH all week as well. I know they are worried about workplace violence which is really sad.

@OP Emails will likely go out around 5pm on Tuesday. If you haven't heard from your GP/Director by then requesting an impromptu meeting, you're likely in the clear from displacement/demotion.

I expect no work will get done on Monday and Tuesday as everyone stressfully awaits their futures.

If you have any personal documents saved in your OneDrive or personal emails, I recommend you forward everything to your personal email address before Monday. If the ISP takes effect immediately you won't be able to retrieve anything.

@a9 100%. We were told to WAH all next week and wait for a call or email from our director. They will probably spread it out since it has to be done personally on zoom so directors need to block that time off for everyone.

@a8 good point. I legitimately feel it could be a security threat.

If they had any common sense, they would have told anyone with the capability that they should work from home on Monday and Tuesday. They're firing people over Zoom anyway. This is Layoff 101 stuff and it's frankly embarrassing that Penny's consultants didn't advise her of this. Sure do hope no one goes apeshit and causes a scene.

For a normal company, I’d expect around 9am to hit the ground running.

However, seeing how awful EDJ’s change management has been and the timing of most Reimagined announcements, I could definitely see it hitting in the afternoon. It’ll probably be accompanied by another video from PP she recorded the weekend prior in the atrium.
