Thread regarding Edward Jones layoffs

My heart is broken. I used to be proud to tell people I worked at EJ.

@z2 haha! Exactly! If you aren't part of her little echo chamber clique` you are nothing to her. She is entitled little brat. She fits in perfectly with all the others in her gated off community in Ladue

@z2 Don't fib...PP probably has her own elevator.

@ez whenever I see PP on the elevator she seems more annoyed by employees having the audacity to address her directly by saying hi.

JW was the goat. Can’t believe the difference between these two.

@fh I know you're being sarcastic, but her husband does actually buy $10K bottles of wine on the regular, and brags about it. So maybe it's hold my gold chalet?

the "culture" of EJ has always been summed with "money has never been my god". Penny heard that and said, "Hold my caviar!"...

@bb haha her enchanted rooftop jungle is a piece of work too. Us peasants are not allowed to go near it though.

This is so accurate. JW would walk up to us at trivia night or at home office and speak to us like normal humans. He is decent human being who actually cared about the people doing the work and keeping the company functional. Now? It's sad and disgusting at the same time. PP sees associates and avoids them at all costs. She is like a deer in headlights and looks so uncomfortable around regular people. We are nothing more than numbers on paper that need to go away in order to make other numbers on paper look better. While she does media blitz and sponsorships for big 12 (that horrible coin flip lol!) the company is being gutted from the inside out. It happened FAST too. I have no idea what will be left of this company in 1-2 years at the rate we are going.

PP is definitely just focused on herself, her legacy, and her next chapter. Who puts up their own shrine to their own idea like the new chair corner next to auditorium.

So true OP. I remember being skeptical of a new MP, when the rumors were PP and JG. I was called a misogynist because i had skepticism even though I had the same feelings about a male. We just had it good under JW.

Maybe I'm biased because I actually met JW and talked with him a few times over the years. I know he didn't remember the other times, but he always seemed interested in what I did and my experiences. Our former chief compliance officer (RL) was the same way.

@a1 Good reminder on Founders Day. Weddle and his spouse would also come to our United Way event. She has not. As a female and mother of a daughter - I’ve taught her that ambition is healthy only when combined with decency. This was a good reminder post that character matters most. When nothing is sacred, then everything is up for sale.

Don’t forget the removal of Founders Day!!
