Thread regarding Edward Jones layoffs

Sorry to you all

I don’t work there, but I’ve watched what this place has done to my sister. She’s given them everything—early mornings, late nights, weekends, endless events. And she’s not the only one. So many of you have sacrificed your time, your health, even your families, because you believed in being loyal and dedicated.

But what does this company give back? Not gratitude, not respect, not recognition. Instead, after draining people dry, they toss you out like you were nothing. It’s not a “thank you” for years of service—it’s a cold shove out the door.

We used to joke it was like a cult. Turns out we were right. A cult takes your energy, your devotion, your soul—and when you’re no longer useful, it discards you. That’s exactly what’s happening here.

To everyone getting laid off: you deserved better than this. And no matter what they try to make you believe, the failure is theirs—not yours.

@a6 My prediction? EDJ as a company will be dead, long gone and buried before THIS current employee is dead, and I’m 52! EDJ will be bought out / merged and will cease to exist. We will be “CitiJones” or some other asinine conglomerate.

@bw Exactly right...the days of 'old' are gone. Folks...in any job, get what you can from them, whether it be training or bonuses, and then as SOON as hear anything about 'efficiency' or 'restructuring', start looking for another job with a 'padded' resume.

@c6 The current situation at EDJ has nothing to do with Republicans. Let’s not forget PP is a progressive….did you forget how everyone cheered when we finally had our first woman MP and how excited the g-ys were that their sponsor was in charge. You know for how bad everyone said the old boys club was I’d take Jim and those mean white men back any day over the pant suit wearing liar!!

This is nice but it’s really just a job. People are too loyal and it’s literally just a job. This isn’t your family.

@a2 Edward Jones was around long before any worked there and will be around long after any current employees are dead. Nobody matters because of where they worked.

To every single one being laid off: I am sad for. We deserved a celebration, not humiliation. You deserved thanks, not betrayal. This company didn’t fail because of you—it failed you. And one day, they’ll have to live with what they’ve done.
