Yes that was a statement made by leadership. If you were on that call what might be your thoughts if you were or were not ISPed last week?
Would you feel comfortable?
Would you feel someone genuinely cared?
Would you feel safe?

Penny’s birthday is October 24.
Everyone should chip in for a singing telegram with a pink slip or subpoena.
@ee This 100%. We are at the "oh sh!t" part of the timeline and we haven't even gotten to the part where the AI bubble corrects. Yes, AI is a massive bubble. No, it's not going away for good, but the math aint mathin and you can only fake it for long before investors bail out. EDJ will of course be the last ones in the game dumping stupid amounts of money into a failed product just so we can say "we use AI too! See! We're cool now too!"
It took us 18 months to finally say what everyone knows out loud?
It’s the blind leading the blind. Suzie M, Kingston, Dolan - the leaders who botched this spectacularly - are all still floating around with zero accountability for a failure that irreparably damaged the culture of a great firm.
To make matters worse, BCG and their 32 year old consultants who were hired to offset the incompetence of the above leaders - yet had no practical value add other than some pretty PowerPoint templates - are ALSO still hanging around creating havoc and billing the firm for big $$.
Meanwhile, assets are flowing out, the MP has given up on declaring victory on EJ’s transformation and has recently gone on a press junket with her new PR partner in order to mask the stench of the failure she’s left behind.
Bring on the McKinsey-ites and put the firm out of its misery once and for all.
If you’re a client, find a real firm to work with.
If you’re an employee, try to get an VSP or ISP and go find a firm where you don’t need to work with this level of idiocy.
I haven’t felt safe at the firm for 6 years. Of course they didn’t get ER right. They put the decisions in the hands of people who don’t know how the firm runs and works. They eliminated well established systems and processes and then pushed out all the people who knew how to get work through them. We still have people doing “legacy work” because they eliminated whole teams. The Legal department is scrambling to clean up all the broken things that are causing violations left and right. They are going to reorg the firm into oblivion.
If there is a "last time," then there is a "this time" and/or a "next time."
