Why Greg Smith Left Goldman Sachs

· ·

Speaking of people quitting their day jobs, Greg Smith - a former Goldman Sachs executive director - explains why he decided to leave the company today:

TODAY is my last day at Goldman Sachs. After almost 12 years at the firm — first as a summer intern while at Stanford, then in New York for 10 years, and now in London — I believe I have worked here long enough to understand the trajectory of its culture, its people and its identity. And I can honestly say that the environment now is as toxic and destructive as I have ever seen it.

While not technology related, the story is pertinent given the economic climate we have all endured. Looks like not much has changed.
