For those who took VSPs and ISPs, would you ever consider returning as consultants? What would be compelling enough for you? I’m not a decision maker, and I’m asking purely out of curiosity. I know many who happily took the package and made plans for retirement, but I also know others who were negatively impacted. My heart goes out to everyone whose lives were disrupted.

Not a hot chance in he-l would I go back to the dumpster fire that is EJ. I was VSP and could not WAIT to be done
@c2 many of those people chose not to apply to those internal Jobs as that also was a slap in the face and pay cut. It wasn’t about individuals. Many high paying people got cut to help the bottom line. It wasn’t done as a personal attack. If the pay as a consultant worked out in my favor- I would come back. I got bills to pay.
@OP , I'm gainfully employed with another financial firm.
@OP Edward Jones doesn’t hire part time unless it’s CST’s. If I hear they are, then they will have a lawsuit on their hands for denying my part time request not long ago. I’m still at EDJ, and I can’t find a good (not fake posted) part time job that isn’t Target at this point.
Also, EDJ has made up their mind who they will and won’t take back that took ISP/VSP. There were like 80-100 internal roles open last time I looked. If they wanted those people they let go, they’d pick them.
