Thread regarding Edward Jones layoffs

New Code of Ethics = curious timing

Did you know:

NYSE-listed companies must adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics applicable to all directors, officers, and employees, per SEC-approved rules. These rules cover conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, insider trading, and reporting of illegal behavior, and must be posted on the company's website.

Interesting that Jones just rolled this out when this is a requirement for publicly traded companies listed on the NYSE. But we're not for sale, right? I'm sure the timing of the rollout is just a coincidence.

@hs Funny - I think it became a thing around the time DC arrived.

@af you hit the nail on the head. I’m picturing all of this to come to fruition by 2027. The moves that Chubak and Malik have made are so obvious.

ELT and Comms can gaslight and spin things however they want, but we know what’s going on.

I believe the Code of Ethics has been in the works for many years. I know several people in Compliance that have been working on it since 2021/2022.

@ag My goal is before my kids go back to school in august at latest, but Ill be looking here very shortly. The June RTO will be a paycut for me after being HBA for almost 10 year. I'm not going to be able to do 2hrs of traffic a day, old car, and deal with school pickup while my wife already has a job with lengthy commute, travel, and face to face client meetings at the end of the day. The WAH system has really been the only thing that has kept me here for so long and has always kept me from asking for more money when I get sc--wed over at review time. Knowing that the GPs and higher ups malociously are doing this 4 days RTO to get rid of us is really showing their true colors. After we were fully remote firm for almost 4 years, had record profits, bragged about how well we adjusted and how happy everyone was. But no, a handful of psychotic jackoffs at the top couldn't just leave it alone, so we started outsourcing, layoffs, RTO, and now micro managing RTO badge swiping. All to get us to quit, as if we are the problem. No, it couldn't be an outdated business model, horrible marketing strategy, busted janky tech, reckless spending on stupid sh1t, and GPs acting like greedy parasites. No, it's not that, it's the level 7-9 HBAs making 65k a year shoveling sh1t day in and day out for a company that hates them that is apparently the problem for the east coast clique` in charge now.

@OP Maybe it applies to everyone in the industry and this is just a random bad timing event? (Wishful thinking)...Here is what they will do if they merge or sell. They will leave wiggle room to save face, they have been carefully choosing their words in these townhalls if you haven't noticed. (Another red flag). They will claim we are "partnering" with some giant bank like us bank/citi/bank of america in order to double growth/assets blah blah and tout this as the way to stay alive and compete with raymond james. Then, those people will slowly start calling the shot and getting into positions of power as we strategically reduce our home office head count, outsource more jobs to india, and ramp up more tech rollouts regardless if they align with our work. Once the dumpster fire gets totally out of control and the next stock market downturn happens, then we will have the GPs sign off on the buyout. They will cash out and leave the rest of us high and dry while chubak takes over upon PP retiring. At that point we are EDJ in name only and NYC becomes our new home office location to be closer to our "banking partners". The final nail will be when chubak tells whoever is left in tempe or st louis that they need to move to NY or they have no job. Make no mistake, that mommas boy is next in line to take over, he has a CITI wall street background, and he aint moving to st louis under any condition. He is playing his "FA in random branch 12345" role for optics because to be MP you need FA experience. I'm sure he even has the photo ops done and ready to go for when this happens.
