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?

In Penny's Page for October 27, 2025 Penny says great teams don't just work side by side, but they grow together so they can build something lasting. Is she serious? Does she think anyone is buying her BS anymore? This is something our first five... — read more

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

All these posts the last few months really confused me. I left Jones in 2023 after being there about 5 years. Easy job but no real money, went to FinTech and TC is three times my Jones pay. Jones is a glorified pyramid, everyone in the finance... — read more

What’s the most ridiculous examples of wasteful spending you’ve seen? Drop your wildest stories of money being lit on fire. No names, just chaos.

Can somebody name one thing that's better now than it was before layoffs? I'll wait.

Is anyone hearing of ISPs getting hired back? Or was that just a ruse?

Could Penny have sc--wed this firm up any more if she was trying? I would doubt it. She probably needs to pull a George Costanza and do the opposite of every single instinct she has ever had. If she did that the firm would probably soar. Penny is... — read more

Is it true starting in January and beyond; if a BOA wants to work at a branch the BOA needs the Series 7? If so, is this a way for the firm to cut overhead at the branch level?
