Our VP mandated that all cameras must be on for every single internal Zoom call. No one is happy.

Was never like this when we were fully remote. Is this a reasonable expectation for a modern workplace?

I’m curious—what evidence are you seeing that men are experiencing reverse discrimination? In financial services, it still seems like most senior leadership positions are held by men. I’m at a conference and overheard a conversation at the next table.

Two things I want to eliminate from my life this fall:  Driving   Running errands   I’m going to sell my car this summer and only use Waymo, Uber, and Lyft.   I’m done. Sick of it. The future is here, so why not take advantage of the perks.

Out of curiosity, how do you feel about the relatively new market holiday? • Strongly support it • Neutral — a day off is a day off • Prefer the markets remain open • Doesn’t impact my business either way For those who have been in the industry a long time, has Juneteenth become just another market holiday, or do you still see mixed opinions among advisors, clients, and firms? Me, I like the day off.
