I would also like to mention, this isnt my choice. They’re forcing me to resign and I keep saying I wont do it. I am just looking for options since I would like to stay part of the securities industry.
[/quote]Why are they forcing your to resign? Tell the truth.
I went on an allowed, self-diagnosed sick leave for a few weeks. I call to come back to work, and they say I can’t return without a doctor’s note. So my only option is to provide documentation, or to resign.
I like EJI a lot, and I really want to continue my employment with them. So I really don't know what to do. I would also like to mention that they've asked me to resign 3-4 times over the past two days. Which I have continued to decline.[quote=rockhorse]I went on an allowed, self-diagnosed sick leave for a few weeks. I call to come back to work, and they say I can’t return without a doctor’s note.

Nope. Care to ellaborate?
[/quote]Nope.
Why would another firm take you as a broker after you fail at the easiest firm out there?
Awesome thanks for reading my posts and giving me non-bias opinions. Very professional of you.

[/quote]Failureboy, there’s no such thing as a “non-bias” opinion. Bias is what make them opinions in the first place. I didn’t even state an opinion. I asked a question. Here’s an opinion…I’ll bet they’re asking you to resign because they see in you what I see in you - a loser. Now, THAT’S an opinion!
Why even post on here if you’re not going to offer any advice? But just put people down? I didn’t fail at Edward Jones. They failed at giving me the support that I required. I passed all my tests, made all my contacts, but was hurdled by an unfortunate illness. Get rid of your selective reading process and actually focus on the issues.

Son, I can’t offer advice without getting my questions answered. Try this…call all of the firms in your area and tell them that your old firm failed to give you the support that you required and that you would like an interview. If they press you on what happened, just tell them that you took a self-approved extended sick leave, but it wasn’t bad enough to go to the doctor.
I’ve answered all your questions, and you’ve only returned with meaningless sarcastic comments.
Rock, your story isn't adding up. If you've been with Jones for six months and are just not getting to branch training, there are a few months in there unaccounted for, with no doctor's note. It doesn't look to me that you have any leverage or any real options in this biz, especially in this economic market.I’ve answered all your questions, and you’ve only returned with meaningless sarcastic comments.
How can they sue me for training costs (even though im not licenced) after they force me to resign?

If they have you knocking on doors, you’re licensed.
He hasn't been to Eval Grad so he's not licensed. You can knock on doors in training but you are only allowed to introduce yourself and ask for a phone number.[quote=rockhorse]How can they sue me for training costs (even though im not licenced) after they force me to resign?[/quote]

A door to door salesman with nothing to sell? Can it get worse than that?
You're asking the wrong people about the training reimbursement. My guess would be that they come after you for something if you voluntarily quit and go to another firm. If Jones fires you, then I don't believe they would have any ground to go after you.
What's the story with this "approved, self-appointed sick leave"? I've heard a lot of things in my time at Jones, but that's a new one. And obviously if they're asking you to resign and/or get them a doctor's note, then the powers that be (BTW, the same ones who will be deciding whether or not to go after you for training costs) didn't quite agree with you. If you want to work for Jones so badly, go get the silly note. I would expect that any employer would want a legitimate reason for letting you come back to work. I can't believe that they actually OK'd a sick leave without a doctor's note explaining the issue. Something doesn't add up here.[quote=Spaceman Spiff]

[/quote] They did it in "good faith". And I'm not lying about any of this. The fact is, I cant provide a sick note, and I WONT quit. So I am just waiting to see where things go.Syphillis, while not curable, can be controlled with the right meds. It does, however, make thought processes a little odd. I'm betting you had this problem flare up for a few weeks and now you are better. (I seen an episode of House where this was the case) I would breakdown and tell your RL(he probably has it also) and he could make a few phone calls and make this go away. Then you can get back to door to door harrassment and make Edward D Jones proud...you're on your way sailor.
