Thread regarding Edward Jones layoffs

Busy Work

Yeah culture has changed but what about stuff we still do that makes no sense? Trimester review. I have a 10 person team, my dl has 7 so I have to write 40 reviews a year and he has to write 28. There is nothing anyone can do anything about in a couple months. Well not that even anymore because now its before the trimester is even finished. If they care so much about fixing stuff why not fix this? I don't get paid more than the tl's who only have 4 people and I talk to my team everyday, this "review" is just busy work. I can't even give my good performers more money so why do it?

@OP reputational risk. This occurs when a company or firm puts their reputation in an unfavorable light. So many comments from disappointed and angry current and former employees. Has anyone ever considered what would happen if everyone shared their bad experiences with friends and family? Maybe we would lose a lot of clients and deter others from consider doing business with Edward Jones. This would be very effective.

@c0 This place is already barely hanging on by a thread, I’d love to see them try to cut deeper. Everyone is overworked at the moment and looking my externally.

The more no value work I can do, the happier I am.

@OP it sounds like you are a team lead. Apparently, the ELT feels there are too many TL’s and Sr TL’s. These roles may be impacted next round.
