      It is. I interviewed there. Absolute crazyshorts cult of personality. No one believes the bullshit, but they all play along for the paychecks.

      Ray Dalio is a brilliant thinker, but as a manager? Nuts.

      Bridgewater is run on a set of 210 principles that have been downloaded from its website more than two million times.

      This is the kind of childish busywork that people can afford to engage in in industries which aren’t bogged down with the burden of actually producing anything.

    Is that poll “Should we start a union?”

      I see what you’re doing there, but in all likelihood the poll was “What do you want for lunch: Chinese, a sandwich, or tacos?”

      And then it gets utterly terrible as sandwiches win, but ten different people want to go to eleven different sandwich shops.

    The most popular article at the WSJ right now is Manhattan Mansion with Hermès Leather Walls Seeks $84.5 Million

    Is this related to the article Hamno posted? Sort of.

      I picked a Hermés bag out of a neighbor’s recycle bin once, one of the orange paper ones. I felt quite classy for about 10 seconds before I put my dog’s poop in it because the plastic one I had ripped.

    “Any meeting of at least three people is expected to hold at least one poll.”

    I bet everyone dreads using the bathrooms, in case there’s already two people inside.

        Hamno gets a kickback for every Gawker reader who buys a sub.

      Not like the employees of a hedge fund would ever figure out how to game such systems. Nosiree.

            I bet they have meetings about meetings and conversation training sessions and other wastes of time too. Drones. Not the fun kind either. I bet anyone with any real talent or intellect makes it no further than 6 months.
