Yes, P1...we have so many direct hire PPs and promoted so many to PPs and yet pipeline isn't amazing. Buy out low performing Partners if they aren't selling.

P1 - Why should we exclude PPEDs from the chopping block? I'm just curious about the distinction. I've never been in a position where performing under expectations didn't impact my earnings so I'd like to hear about your point of view on the subject, since you did agree that low performers should be eliminated.

Listen guys - should we eliminate low performers? Absolutely. I think we all agree that "trimming the fat" while keeping Principals out of the mix is the way to go here. What I really want to hear about is what was everyone doing to celebrate the eclipse yesterday? Pretty exciting stuff, huh?

I think the firm leadership plan is to keep on promoting everyone till we have nothing but PPEDs.
