Thread regarding Edward Jones layoffs

Trimester 2 Business Update

Did anyone else find it odd that Penny and team held the trimester 2 business update at a branch conference in Scottsdale, AZ? I have been at EJ for over a decade and I cannot recall a trimester business update not originating from the auditorium at the south campus in St. Louis. Is it just by coincidence that the first trimester business update after the first public layoffs in 103 years by the firm is not held in the same room as home office associates who have had their fellow associates laid off and perhaps demoted themselves? I do not think this qualifies as holding yourself "accountable". If you are going to radically alter people's lives you should be woman enough to face them, look them in the eye, and explain why you have done it and where you are taking the firm into the future. Penny and team are just pure cowards.

I knew Penny was she was in CSG. I was shocked when they chose her to be managing partner. Everyone in CSG knew how much of a trainwreck she was. Penny was backstabbing people while she was in CSG. She would smile at you and stab you in the back at the same time. People knew it, but the managing partner committee still promoted her. The leaders of the firm deserve what they get. She was a known commodity. The other associates do not deserve to feel her wrath. Penny has got to go. She is horrible. She is as ugly on the inside as she is on the outside. Despicable woman inside and out.

I would pay to see Penny slumming it on the streets of Calcutta. She has ruined enough people's lives already. She needs to be on the streets.

@OP , nope. I think she's headed to India; so if she's out West, maybe it will be a shorter flight.

Yeah, she is not going to be in the same room with people she demoted and now is making do more work for less pay. She is not bright, but she does have enough brains to not walk into that lion's den.
