I would just like to say that the firm has taken a noticeable turn when PP became the MP. What I don't like is that now we have members of the Executive Leadership Team that don't even have to live in StL. That used to be the norm - you're a Partner, you have to move to StL. How can leaders that don't live in StL immerse themselves in the EJ culture? They can't.
We now have ELT members that live in NYC. I'm sorry, but there is nothing in EJ's culture that aligns with NYC's culture. This is only one part of the disconnect - and it's why we have associates commenting here and at the firm their suspicions about David Chuback. He is NOT EJ culture, and PP is fooling herself if she thinks he could be a trusted confidant.
I just hope she doesn't ruin the firm before she retires in 2030.
