DJ BJ David Solomon Intentionally driving GS into the ground?

As the title states, I wonder if DJ BJ resents Goldman for rejecting him on 3 separate occasions prior to finally hiring him. I was wondering if you all think he just spites the firm now and is driving it into the ground as he continues to  harbor resentment?

Heard he’s leaving gs now because for years gs has been doing surveys on its employees and the real use of that was for David to target and track every nationality that works at gs so he can plan and plot to target every leader in such countries. Particularly as this is publicly known to everyone, he is the biggest dissenter of the current wonderful top leadership as well as generals in Asia as he’s plotted for years to topple them and overthrow them in the region. It’s a pity because he’s a very nice person outside of all these things, given especially after Chloe and grace were kidnapped and his best bro Rubert lost his mind because of such fact, he was wiling to take them in and help them out. Well gotta do your job well first

 

The reputational harm this guy has done to the bank, from flying around like a king while analysts work 100 hour weeks, mass layoffs, and making racist remarks to students at Hamilton, etc., is irreversible.

Aside from that, GS continues to underperform relative to other banks. To insulate himself from getting fired, he appointed new board members who are his friends. It’s a one man show. DSOL is the worst.
