Did P&T ruin PwC Labs? I feel like Labs was on its way to be a real tech org the P&T ruined it and turned us into corporate IT.

Labs leadership ruined labs. A bunch of non-tech partners creating cliques and over-selling modest achievements. Labs needs to shrink to focus on bleeding edge tech and focus on being a ‘lab’ and not be general corp IT. Then can re-grow from there as appropriate and send a lot of the existing leadership packing in the meantime.

as someone who moved out of labs i 100% agree with this

On its way to greatness, then some leader decided that they needed to ride that wave .. and it all came crashing down. I am sure we’ve all seen this movie too many times for it to be a surprise. The only way to keep a good thing going is by letting it grow organically, not by adding new leaders to that mix.

Can someone explain the benefit of whole life or similar products? I understand that they are bad for 99.9% of people. How does the 0.1% benefit? Taxes? Asset protection?

I'm struggling to understand why anyone would use these at all. Significantly caps your upside. If you are uber wealthy, why wouldn't you continue investing in the market? Why pay the crazy fees for these products that are essentially just 90% treasury bonds and 10% levered ETFs and covered calls?

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?

Why does the P&T org view Suneet as a Pope-like figure?

Clearly he has ascended and is respected, but it’s comments like this — ‘Wow! You got to meet with Suneet?!?,’ that make me wonder. 🤔

What’s the (back)story? What am I missing?

Also the continual request(s) for self-validation is something I have never seen of someone at his level — and I’ve been around (and coached) a lot of executives.

Fellow P&T Directors - here’s a thread for us to discuss what we are hearing/not hearing with regards to PCLDE and the making of new partners in P&T.

On every call, we hear Joe talk about making new Partners and his commitment. I have yet to see any of those ‘commitments’ be reflected in actions or explanations. (eg. No senior directors from commercial GTM going into PCLDE this year …) What?

Do they really think we’re going to ‘stick around’ until they ‘figure it out’ …

I have to admit that I wasn't terribly impressed by the virtual Co-Lo for Digital. The exception to that, though, was David's insightful comment that leadership knows and expects that many of us are struggling to come back from the pandemic, and it's okay to ask for help and or take a leave. Digital culture, and how we are real and take care of each other, is just AMAZING. That speech alone made me so proud to be here and turned around a lot of my negative thoughts.
