I worked for a complete psycho first year out of school. High-level real estate debt/equity brokerage, one of the top 3 producing teams in the country. He was an ex-professional sports player who got drafted but never made it and was perpetually bitter about this. Would stay at the office until 9 or 10pm to hide from his wife and kids all the time, heavy drinker with rage who would take it all out on the analysts. Almost broke his phone slamming it after a CMBS lender re-traded pricing. Constantly alluded to cheating on his wife, being annoyed with his family.
Would kill a 12-pack of beer on a Friday but worked insanely hard and would have to go through his massive amounts of comments while being expected to finish the package in full on a one day turnaround. Got hazed by being forced to drink everclear margaritas at lunch then head back to the office and crank on packages and models. Typical constant behavior of withholding comments until leaving at 7-8pm with an expectation to turn around the package by the next day.
The EMD's cleared about $7m apiece while he cleared about $3-4m. Analysts were paid $45-50k all-in at the end of the year - two of us left very shortly after while another stuck around for another year then bounced. Revolving door of analysts each year to this day.
It is always the ex army and ex sports pros that I hear about on here. I was just telling anotheronett either this is a common thing or a lot of ppl hear have worked for the same person lol.
And Everclear margaritas? that's death. And I have noticed a great indication of a psycho is the turnover rate
Yep mine was ex military and I have seen a lot of posts hear about a really similar person. Could be a coincidence that a lot of them turn psycho tho
Plot twist: it's all the same guy.
This sounds like Tobin & Company
What the fuck did I just read
OP,
All you have to do is say the magic word "MeToo" and all you'll problems will be gone.
