    Good for Bridgewater - ethics - how refreshing.

  2. You only get fired for this at Bridgewater if they wanted you gone anyway. Which means things aren't going very well business wise

    None of that is true. They demonstrated character.

  4. You don't have enough information to know that. I know for a _fact_ that it's an orgy up in there. Everyone is boinking everyone else.

    Without more details, we can't say for sure. It is possible that one of these types (from the bwater site) has purple-haired their way into things and is mad that someone else is getting laid:

    And to save your job all you have to do is behave and file the "relationship" docs with HR.
    Last time I heard the word boinking - Nixon was president.

    He had a wild reputation at customer events and dinners - but that was a different decade, but before I would insult someone's character I'd want something more tangible than hearsay.

    If I were a shrink - which I am not - I'd want to know when you got fired?

  8. There's more to the story that we won't know. You don't get fired for boinking coworkers who don't work in your section. Might have changed though.

    I didn't get fired, but damn if I don't miss the place.

    Also I'm pretty sure business-wise they're doing fine. One of the thing that pissed me off the most about the place is you can run the core of it with 10-15 people.
