[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in tech and report to the CEO of my company, who is just a mean, nasty, petty person. [/quote]

Have you read about Wall Street? That is the culture of tech now, money and menace. [/quote]-

There are no checks on tech and it's full of egos, even more so than finance, which is why the Forbes 30 Under 30 is just a bunch of fraudsters.[/quote]

Have you read Bully Market? Or seen American Psycho?  Wall Street before GFC was Masters of the Universe unhinged, with egos to match. Tech at least has a veneer of meritocracy and diversity (I mean there are a few non-white men running around).

I worked on Wall Street, at one of the banks that collapsed during the financial crisis.[/quote]

Were you there in the 80s and 90s or just 2000s?[/quote]

Different poster but I worked on Wall Street pre 1987 crash and it was quite tame by early 1990s. Strippers, hookers, coke, cursing, smoking at work, heck drinking at work, with no internet or cell phones and working 12 hours days you were in a cult almost.

By 1995 it was D&I, woke, and dress down at work. Heck the Blarney Stone and Klarney Rose dive Irish Bars be full of brokers and traders at 8am getting some drinks in before the opening bell at 930 Am [/quote]
