Why He's Leaving Goldman Sachs
By GREG SMITH Published: March 14, 2012 in the New York Times
"TODAY is my last day at Goldman Sachs. After almost 12 years at the firm — first as a summer intern while at Stanford, then in New York for 10 years, and now in London — I believe I have worked here long enough to understand the trajectory of its culture, its people and its identity. And I can honestly say that the environment now is as toxic and destructive as I have ever seen it."
Please note that Mr. Smith is speaking truth to power on his last day at the firm. I wonder what the general public would say to their employers if they could speak as honestly as Mr. Smith does on his last day.
