I thought that, particularly a few DHP&E regulars, as others of course, would like to see this article in the New York Times today:
TODAY is my last day at Goldman Sachs.

And I can honestly say that the environment now is as toxic and destructive as I have ever seen it.....

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...

I wonder why this chap stayed so long at a terrible company that paid him millions of dollars?0

I wonder if he waited to collect his multi million dollar bonus before marching up to the moral high ground and jacking his job in?;)Nothing is foolproof, as fools are so ingenious!

Don't think class comes into it. Most of these guys are just very clever and very motivated by money. Goldman Sachs does not take on slow witted thickos.0 -

Are you suggesting he may be Goldman Sacked?Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.
