Introducing the EJ “Reimagineers” (Disney pun intended)

Taking a moment to appreciate the top notch team that Penny has assembled to help her reimagine EJ:

Lisa D: The tenured GP among the team who leads functions that will be familiar to branches such the Service Division (trainwreck), Real Estate (dumpster fire) and Client Transitions/Tailored Branch Support (that flaming bag on your doorstep). A track record and shining example for good leadership and successful transformation.

Ken C: Known to many here as the exec being paid 22MM a year after being removed as leader of the field and put into a made up job.

Andy M: another overpaid GP in finance who was picked on one too many times on the playground as a kid but now likes to act like a tough guy and overstarch his shirts.

Suzan M: HR, does little other than grace the cover of your total rewards statement with some unfortunate formatting that may have added a few lbs. Has little to no respect from leaders.

Hasan Malik: NY GP and McKinsey alum. Enough said.

Yep, this is the crack team reimagining and that PP has assembled to “advise” her.

Advisors, get a head start your networking because whats coming is gonna make Salesforce look like a picnic in the park.

Don't forget the external advisory board we set up last year. Typical EJ leadership behavior to keep your friends in high paying jobs and hire someone else to do them.

They're saying it will be a "top down" efficiency re-organization, but we all know the part of all this where ELT will be untouched, even though several of them on it are a significant portion of the current problem (out-of-touch, self-absorbed, narcissistic, greedy, etc.). I'm not saying there aren't a bunch of less senior GPs, directors, leaders, etc. that aren't turds in the punch bowl, there's probably dozens and dozens, but if we're not scraping the sh-t off our shoes at the very top then what will really be "re-imagined"?
