I am as frustrated as most. Today I had an ounce of optimism. Can the Edward Jones culture we all know and love outlast PP? She only has three years left max. Her legacy will be a scar on EJ history, but can the old culture survive her rein and things get better once she’s gone? Any others feeling this way?

They sent an email that stated they will be hiring GPs externally so the culture is already dead.
EJ needed to evolve to stay competitive, but PP has done a poor job managing it, wasting resources and her credibility by enormous spends on consultants who don’t understand the company, repeated stops/starts of projects, hires for projects later abandoned, poorly managed new leadership creating new fiefdoms and redundancies, disingenuous communications that demoralize the troops and create distrust. It’s a different environment, assumed to be “normal” by the new exec’s. EJ will survive and have its successes but the working environment, the culture, is forever changed.
I would suggest to buckle up, I don’t see how it improves when Chubak takes over from here.
I'm thinking she has ki-led the culture awhile ago. I'm not sure I can put up with her or Chubak much longer.......
In three years whoever is left at the firm will continue to have a bitter taste in their mouths from previous years.
The new associates being hired in won't have a clue as to what transpired to get to where we are today.
I don’t know if I can put up with three more years with the Chief Gaslighting Officer.
