This is something I’ve observed and was curious if others have seen the same. I’ve seen females rise faster within EJ home office than male colleagues. Obviously there are many males still being promoted and serving in leadership positions but is HR... — read more

If AI is supposed to replace mundane, everyday tasks then why wouldn’t we reduce GP headcount further? Some of these GPs do not add any strategic value, they seldom make critical decisions and don’t have the competency to lead the people through... — read more 

I am joining EJ in couple of weeks and really worried about layoffs. I am leaving my current job to join EJ. There is pay bump in this job at EJ but I am afraid that the work load is too much and not sure how much is the bonus. They said the bonus... — read more 

In the email about lp they also talked about this new director role. Is ej finally gonna stop pretending gp is about anything other than how much you kiss up? Some of the partner jobs are less scope than some of the dl's so guess if you have a big... — read more 

Today is my last day at this clown show. Good luck to those that choose to stay on this sinking ship. It will be slow, but inevitable with PP, DC and the other clowns running the show. Peace.

As a retired, original LP owner I am wondering why the most obvious question was not addressed. How will this change affect annual payout percentage, for original owners, in the future. We have enjoyed an average 20% for many, many years. Will that... — read more

Media reports are swirling

I want to start this conversation because something isn’t adding up in the way our company talks about risk and reward. We’ve all heard the narrative: “Partners take on the financial risk, while employees share in the success.” But when you look at... — read more

It appears as if security at Home Office is being more aggressive lately. We have been told to report anyone who we do not recognize on our floor immediately to firm security. We have also been told to not hold the door open for anyone after we... — read more 

Did the launch of the Everyday Solutions cards flop? Why are they pushing hard for associates to sign up for exclusive offers but I don’t see anything exclusive about the offers? They all seem pretty basic and not worth it.

Today we have a “there’s power in partnership firmwide broadcast.” What do we think this will be about? Best guesses and snarky speculation will be accepted

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... — read more

Hello, Just curious of the associates who still remain at the firm. Will you participate in any fundraising campaigns and have it taken out of your paycheck?

If you apply for anything, you are not given any priority whatsoever. This is just another lie that was peddled by our dear ELT.

there are whisperings of a future lp offering. Would anyone buy in? With assets out almost exceeding assets in, i will probably sit this one out

Whenever we have these off sites for our division, I always feel like we leave with more questions than answers. Just once , it would be good to have GPs that can answer questions directly vs wishy washy unclear responses.

What’s the point of having all of them? If we really need to reduce costs, why aren’t we cutting some of those positions instead of the people actually doing the work?

I'm in New York this week and a friend of mine works at Goldman and said in their model they "departner" people every few years. That way you don't have someone with a nothing job making millions of dollars. If Jones is serious they will look at... — read more
