In my original post, “Henryhill” asked how I got there, how scared was I etc.

  Warning: this is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth- so I don't want to hear/see any complaints this is just another Jones Bashing Thread.   I was a Seg IV Broker at Jones heading into my fifth year. Volunteered for anything and everything. Held several posts on Leadership Team, etc. Ranked in the top 10%  of my region for production.    I filed two formal complaints against a General Partner, asking for investigation into his actions. Associate Relations (aka Human Resources) did NOT investigate the incidents, but instead discussed the complaints with the two G.P.'s over the other G.P. The senior G.P.'s instructed Associate Relations to dismiss the claims, and they would "handle it".   Less than 45 days later I was called into St. Louis, raked over the coals for three hours in a room by five people, and given a Final Written Warning for filing the complaints.   So, I sued Edward Jones.    The Arbitration process and the panel of three attorneys were excellent. Edward Jones came into the Arbitration room with four laptop computers, their attorney, his assistant, two General Partners, live feed to the legal Department in St. Louis and 12 'witnesses'.   I had myself, my attorney and his yellow legal pad. We called one witness.   I went with the intention of telling what happened to me. If nothing else came of it, I wanted to tell a Panel of Arbitrators what happened to me. And they listened. And they asked great questions. And they could see through the attempts to mask the truth, stray from the main issues and did not endure dramatics.
