The Red Flags That Will Screw You At Goldman Sachs

So apparently CNBC has compiled a list of all the words and phrases that could get flagged by Goldman's automated email surveillance system, and be transferred to someone in the compliance department for review. Apparently the list was created in 2008 and has been regularly updated since then. Included are particularly creative ways of communicating, with thirteen different phrases incorporating 'f*ck'.

I spent a minute or two going through the full list (found here: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/15/you-wont-believe-w…), and I'm particularly amused by some:

-Call the SEC
-Paying fees through/thru the nose/ass/butt
-I am not a happy camper
-You are a piece of sh*t
-Don't worry I'll take care of it
-GS|Goldman is really upsetting|frustrating me

According to Goldman:


"We deploy cutting-edge technology and exercise the utmost care to protect confidential information, secure data and provide high-end client service," said a spokeswoman for Goldman Sachs. "The firm's monitoring efforts reflect our commitment to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity."

Really stoked to see Goldman protect the integrity of their employees. What does everyone think?

 
FinanceBrah:

Seems like Goldman Sachs only just figured out how to use the parental controls on their internet routers.

Actually this is caught well before any email (or chat, etc.) reaches the edge routers.

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
