What is KKR's molasses policy?

Hey I was at a top BB (MS M&A, JPM FIG, GS O&G) and I made a mistake on a bakeoff I was on. My MD took me into the bathroom, handed me a bottle of hot molasses and told me to empty it on myself before I could return to work. My office didn't have any showers so I had to go home to shower in the middle of the day.

I on-cycled to KKR cause of the great reputation and large canadian presence and want to confirm that this is something that will not happen to me again. If anyone can let me know about their sticky substance policy I would greatly appreciate it. If they are molasses positive, does anyone know if they have showers in-office? I'm going to the Houston office for context.

Wow, Im surprised the industry is that toxic still. I know Houston shops used to do weird things but Im surprised this is still happening. I heard this happened a while ago at a top BB

I hear they run an exclusively black tar and feathers shop over there.

 

Second this. Heard this happened to a first year analyst who wanted to tax tea imports. Think it was in their Boston Harbor office.
