Sounds like a lovely guy /s
For those who didn't read, he said that student concerns over climate change were dumb because it's not going to affect him personally, and he's rich and they're not, so they should just be grateful to live in the world that revolves around him and shut up. Paraphrased, but only lightly.
It hasn't come to a point where they're afraid to say that shit in public, and honestly I think that needs to change.
Basic pitchfork economics. I'd imagine this cunt is high on the list of examples to be made, if the time were to come.
What bothers me more is I AM the main character in this story called life, and that git of an NPC was coded to think he is... and because he's an NPC, he was given everything to create further drama in MY story! /s
Okay, only slightly being sarcastic... ;)
Didn't this guy lose $2 billion by partnering with Apple to back the Apple card that no other bank was willing to do? I don't know how he's still CEO after letting that happen.
Rich white men never face consequences for anything. Failure just means promotion.
You could have just said "rich people" to include all the shady ultra rich fuckers from all around the world. This isn't a gender, race, culture or religion problem, it's a class problem.
Will repeat a point I made in another comment.
Bernie Madoff did end up in jail. But it wasn't the large amount of stolen money.
It was because he made the mistake of robbing other rich assholes.
Gotta fuck up to move up
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A group of seniors preparing to graduate from his alma mater, upstate New York’s Hamilton College, wrote a letter accusing the Goldman Sachs chairman and chief executive officer of “blatant ignorance and disrespect” as they spoke with him about the school’s investments in fossil fuels at a trustee networking event.
The letter, jointly written by three members of the class of 2023 and published on the school newspaper’s website in May, was reported Friday by New York Magazine as part of a story on unrest within Goldman Sachs over Solomon’s management style.
They said Solomon indicated fossil-fuel divestment was a stupid movement and that if the students traveled to countries like China, India and Cambodia they could see how the world “really worked” before deciding if they wanted to live like that.
But he’s faced elements of revolt from the firm’s powerful cadre of partners over issues tied to the business, such as the costly consumer-banking flop, and some specific to Solomon himself — complaining about his brusque management style and his use of the corporate jet for leisure.
A growing list of senior departures has also drawn attention, with some executives departing soon after taking new posts, and some top women exiting amid criticism about the firm’s culture.
Tom Montag, who spent more than two decades at Goldman and helped run the trading business when Solomon ran investment banking, was named to the board of directors last month.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
CEO is a piece of shit. More at 7
It's 7. Tell me more!
Checked in - still a piece of shit.
The man literally looks like Lex Luthor.
Honestly, I think he sounds like a worse person than Lex Luther.
Lex Luther is a social Darwinist. He's a piece of shit, but he has an ethos. This guy seems like just greed in a suit. It's honestly more pathetic.
Say what you will about Social Darwinism, Dude, but at least it's an ethos.
I was thinking Prigozhin and Bruce Willis lovechild
Don't mess with students. They have time, information and gumption.
While I really get what you're saying, the unfortunate situation is that they are always a secondary fiddle to money
LOL
Isn't that DJ D-Sol? I did not know that he is also CEO of Goldman Sachs!
This part offers some more interesting insight to his character. Yet another insecure c-suite lashing out at anyone who criticizes him.
The letter, jointly written by three members of the class of 2023 and published on the school newspaper’s website in May, was reported Friday by New York Magazine as part of a story on unrest within Goldman Sachs over Solomon’s management style.
Solomon oversaw record results for Goldman Sachs in 2021, and the stock is up more than 50% since he took over almost five years ago. But he’s faced elements of revolt from the firm’s powerful cadre of partners over issues tied to the business, such as the costly consumer-banking flop, and some specific to Solomon himself — complaining about his brusque management style and his use of the corporate jet for leisure.
A growing list of senior departures has also drawn attention, with some executives departing soon after taking new posts, and some top women exiting amid criticism about the firm’s culture. The tally includes executives Solomon has elevated, like Julian Salisbury, who left last month for Sixth Street Partners.
How strange. I'd never heard of this man before and my Uber driver yesterday told me he gave him a ride to the airport last week.
