I know Founder's Day was supposedly put on a hiatus during the pandemic, but leadership said they were going to bring it back or something to replace it once the world opened back up. Once the pandemic was over Penny was the new managing partner. Here we are in 2025. The world has been open for years now and still nothing (crickets chirping). Is this just another way of Penny going back on her predecessor's words? Penny has an absolute pattern of doing this now. This is out of control how she has commandeered the company with her own vision instead of what the previous five managing partners intended. Penny is an absolute joke. No one likes her. Even people in her inner circle do not like her and are plotting for her fall (I'm looking at you KJ, SM, DC, and HM). Tread carefully, Penny. These four people will bring you close and then cut you just like you have cut thousands of associates who were once "One Edward Jones, y'all". I guess Founder's Days has been replaced. Penny replaced it with Enterprise Reimagined. Well played, Penny, well played (sarcasm).

@3fa it was when they stopped promoting Drucker for me
First sign: I knew EJ culture was going downhill when Penny cut the BOA "thank you" holiday gifts where BOAs got to choose between a turkey or ham. It starts out small and then builds Every. Single. Time.
@b6 The managing partners held Founder's Day when it was enacted. And the first five managing partners never laid anyone off before Penny and Chewbacca got involved.
But won't you all complain that they shouldn't be spending money on this type of stuff if they are laying off people?
Penny is terrible. She needs to step down immediately. Penny needs to stop ruining people's lives.
Just another example of Penny destroying decades of culture, but more importantly trust that she will never regain.
