Thread regarding Edward Jones layoffs

Drowning

Post Enterprise Reimagined, I am struggling in my new role. I had no onboarding, just a whole lot of department meetings with no context. My new leader has no experience in this work and spent their entire career in a different discipline. My partner in the work also has no experience in this discipline. We were thrown headlong into a project with no guidance other than, “You are smart. Figure it out.” A month later, my work was just doubled because we are short handed on our team because of layoffs. I am scared and sick and stressed out. And my leader has made it clear they don’t care. I am frustrated and angry. Anyone else dealing with this scenario? How do I handle it?

Hi y'all!

Just wanted to let y'all know that you matter. I know things have been tough. But, without you I could not get 16% compensation increases which is a higher percentage than anyone of you will ever see during your tenure at my.....em the firm. I am currently making less than $30 million per year. With your help we can bump that up. There is a plan in place. Please trust the process. We are One Edward Jones!

@OP quit. LPL just picked up 2,800 advisors. They probably need some more help.

@OP, I've been in your shoes with mental health days off on a new Team with a horrible leader.

I'm not certain how long you've been with the firm. Unfortunately I'm weighing my options after 10+ years.

It's going to get worse. I am sorry you're going through this, but know you aren't alone.

@OP Definitely not the company it used to be. Sorry this is your experience and I hope it gets better. Hugs!
