What the hell is going on at Bridgewater? A meltdown? First with former co-CEO suing the fund, then layoffs. And now another high ranking woman claims she got paid less because she's a woman?

Anyone know what's really going down? Any thoughts? Educated opinions? 

Kinda makes me relieved that I failed that B-water Superday.

In their words, it's just the "causal-effect relationship"... the HF world is all about P&L. If you can't make profits, you have to deal with those HR troubles which will further drag operations...not sure how they are performing YTD tho
