Best of the Best

Help me understand how we can commit to doing a national event and yet we are told we are on a travel and spending freeze. Don’t spend money…..but have a rally and breakfast. I would rather spend money on my team instead of a wasteful and unnecessary event. This should not be done while we are in the 100 days of summer and have 36 other competing priories. But, the teams that dream up this event don’t have other things to do……great way to waste $ on something either no ROI. The frontline don’t even get awarded and they are who does the work. Do Better!!!!!


Thoughts on the 50th anniversary picnic?

Does anyone remember the 25th anniversary party? If not, it was a huge party at Walnut Creek. The 50th is laid out like the spring picnics we had before COVID (and after the demise of the SAS winter parties (because of drunken debauchery..cough cough, I mean cost). SAS used to have such fun gatherings, and now the 50th anniversary is reduced to an on-campus picnic. I know there are bigger things to worry about, but from an optics and marketing perspective, it seems a little weak for such a milestone.


Exciting News. Too broke to recognize hard work

Team,

I’m excited to share an update on this year’s President’s Club recognition.

President’s Club celebrates the teammates who delivered the strongest revenue-impacting results across Optimum in 2025. These individuals represent the very best of our performance culture and embody what it means to deliver for our customers and our business.

As previously announced, and in support of aligning our resources with our enterprise priorities, we will not be hosting a President’s Club trip this year. That said, we want to ensure these achievements are celebrated in a meaningful way. For 2025, President’s Club winners will receive:

A monetary award
A commemorative President’s Club trophy
A President’s Club jacket

Winners will be notified tomorrow, and we look forward to recognizing their accomplishments.

While President’s Club highlights our top performers, our progress as a company is driven by the collective work happening across the organization every day. Supporting customers, solving problems, strengthening relationships, and driving results all contribute to our momentum as ONE Optimum.

Thank you for everything you do and for the commitment you bring to our customers and teams every day.

Is now the time for superhero

I've heard rumbling that the superhero event will be canceled this year. I have to say I have mixed feelings about it. While , it's great for those who are recognized, I'm sure it cost millions of dollars to throw a party for the few hundred people who get to go. Could jobs be saved instead?


Regional Award Ceremonies are Kaput

Well, another Edward Jones long standing tradition has met it's end.

Regional award ceremonies will now be conducted during a week day morning instead of a nice ceremony where you can bring a spouse.

Maybe its too expensive now for the little people to be honored? Wonder if TAP trips are next?
