How Tone-Deaf is Solomon?
Imagine many of you have seen this in the news, but Solomon sent an audio recording on Sunday regarding the recent events in the media. Included below is his comment regarding the GS survey:
"Just remember: if we all go an extra mile for our client, even when we feel that we're reaching our limit, it can really make a difference in our performance," he said.
I mean, that's got to be about the worst response he could have come up with right? "We know you're all struggling right now, but you need to keep taking this shit so we can continue to increase our bottom line" Gotta say, I feel incredibly motivated after hearing that....
Thoughts?
Lol this guy has a track record of just saying and doing stupid shit
Scumbag alert
We need to rile up WSB to short GS and close the loop on this big fuck you to Wall Street.
I'm in, let's do it.
Edit: for the guy below, this is sarcasm
trying to short a BB is not going to work
David Solomon is a massive clown. But this is far from news, before this scandal he had already lost quite a few top execs (I think like 4-5 just this year) because deep down he thinks he can get it both ways: keep GS’s culture and that close-knit feel but also run it like he’s the CEO of Kroger or something.
Which is crazy to think any intelligent person would try to do; the culture was obviously going to collapse at some point and take the bank's marginal strengths with it. Bankers at a fundamental level don't know when to say "no" to new business. This guy wants to crack the whip and keep everyone on their toes to chase every single deal possible when taking it a little easy would still leave the bank immensely profitable and let employees not die.
I mean he is a 59 year old man who calls himself DJ D-Sol
I mean realistically this guy probably sees himself as the GOAT.
Came from a nontarget (at the time), rose through the ranks, made CEO of arguably the most respected BB, and gets hailed as this amazing DJ at the same-time. I bet 99% of everyone near him dickrides him. So, no wonder he is this disconnected.
I wonder what he thinks of that other GS CEO who worked his way up from shoe-shiner to CEO.
Who are you referring to, btw? I don't know much about names here
I hate non targets
True. Except Weinberg of course.
Not sure what Hamilton College's reputation was like back then but it seems like a place for privileged kids now who would turn out well either way because of family/friend connections
Once you look past the "cool" factor of him being a DJ you realize he's a total asshat.
Same with Jefferies CEO commenting on IG meme accounts
Rich is even worse in some ways. Pretending to act all woke and shit and pontificating about culture when Jefferies has huge problems on that front as well.
He can't be all that tone deaf considering he produces tones as a side hustle.
He makes Rich Handler (and his Instagram activity) look like he’s in touch with his bank’s culture
NGL I sold my GS stock after I heard his response
fuck david solomon
james gorman and jamie dimon must be drooling watching him stick his foot in his mouth
