Goldman Sachs Is The Gay-Friendliest Bank On Wall Street

The winner of first prize for the gay-friendliest Wall Street firm might surprise you.

Despite the recent sexual discrimination lawsuit launched against Goldman Sachs, the bank was named the best bank to work for if you're LGBT.

According to Vault.com, these are the top ten banks for those who identify as Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered (LGBT):

1. Goldman Sachs

"The firm maintains a strong commitment to diversity, and 
mandates that all employees participate in at least two hours of
 diversity-related training per year."

2. Centerview Partners

"LGBT individuals have all and every opportunity to
 succeed."

3. Houlihan Lokey

"We have openly gay professionals" and hire "with a blind
eye to sexual preferences."

4. Moelis & Company

"There are many openly LGBT employees at all levels,
from administrative roles through partners. This is the antithesis of the
typical white-shoe Wall Street firm."

5. J.P. Morgan Investment Bank

"We have multiple employee network groups:
 women, Asian, African-American, Hispanic, transgender, lesbian, gay."

What a coincidence. They are the same bank that told taxpayers to bend over and grab the ankles.

If ever there was a place where I worked where where you rubbed your genitals had nothing to do with wether or not you kept your job was the bank. It was all too clear to everyone: If you made money, they did not care who, what, where, or how you got your jollies. If you made money you stayed, and got paid great. If you did not make money, you left really fast and it was made clear to you why.

You did not have time or opportunity to do anything else in the workplace. They did not really care what you did when you weren’t there.

Capitalism at its best.

No, not really.  

"What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.

 

It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.

 

The first stage being "demoralization"....."

LOL - Capitalism at its best?

The systemic corruption and demoralization perpetrated by moral miscreants in the financial infrastructure is “capitalism at its best”?

Drink much of the “Fiscally Conservative” Kool-aid in the water cooler at “the bank” did you?

You know, the “Fiscally Conservative” bullshyte on tap - that rationalized the manufacture of somewhere between 100 and 700 TRILLION dollars worth of derivative a$$paper that’s still floating in the pond...

“Capitalism at its best” L O L!

My point was that when i worked for a bank they did not care whether they were “diverse” or not. Yes, there was the normal window dressing. But they wanted to make money. Period.

I never cared whether or not the guy next to me was gay or straight. It did not matter to me, or our clients. If he/she/shehe did not make money they did not work there long.

Is that not how its supposed to be?

I dont know what its like today, but back in the day THAT was freedom and capitalism.

Right.  What's a little moral compromise as long as the cash keeps flowing?

"Fugitive financier arrested at U.S. border"

 

"My name is Christopher Jared Warren, and in 2001 I was hired as a 19 year old to become a sales AccountExecutive for ACC Capital Holdings subsidiary, the now infamous “Ameriquest MortgageCompany”. Over the next three years of employment, I became the shining star of “portfolio retention”, a predatory division that would specialize in refinancing home owners who JUST gotloans from Ameriquest in the last 24 months. I was the number one producer in the region..."

 

"...as a 19 then 20 year old boy, my managers and handlers taught me the ins and outs of mortgage fraud, drugs, sex, and money, money, and more money. My friend and manager handed out crystal methamphetamine to loan officers in a bid to keep them up and at work longer hours. At any given moment inside the restrooms - cocaine and meth was being snorted by my estimates more than a third of the staff, and more than half the staff manipulating documents to get loans to fund and more then 75% just completely made falses tatements on 1003s regarding stated income etc to get loans funded. A typical welcome aboard gift was a pair of scissors, tape, and white out, three things a loan officer or financial professional should never need.."

Whoops - there it is!

[Vermont Lt]

We did not work on that stuff. In fact we were the only big bank in the market that did not buy into the 125% Home Equity crap. We made people come up with down payments, and they had to have jobs.

ACORN hated us. Every time we went to buy another bank, we had to deal with that garbage.

Yes, I am a social and fiscal conservative. You are missing my point: The people in banks who make the money are focused on just that.

We did it right. Others did it really wrong.

[Vermont Lt]

So, my guess is that you or some you know used their home as an ATM and is getting screwed.

I am sorry about that.

But you are falling prey to the standard crap from the left. The bankers that work hard to generate mortgages and small business loans have kept this country going. You can fill the pages here with stories such as this. But there are millions in the industry. And vast, vast majority are ethical and hard working.

The thing that got us into this problem, throughout the economy, was greed and jealousy. We would see idiots come in and try to mortgage the last nickel out of their equity to buy a car. Long term finance of short term expenses is always a bad idea.

And now, folks like you that got burned by your greed are jealous that people who work hard and are smart, are making money even in a down market.

I feel bad for you. Oh, wait. No I dont.

>>We did not work on that stuff.

"We" who?

Evidently Goldman Sachs sure as hell did...

Just a coinkidink Goldman Sachs were, as the judge alleges, in "corporate collusion"with Rainbow predators?

Uhuh.  It's easy not to see the systemicaly corrupt forrest if you..."Just shut up and code...."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ex 32:8
8 They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.'
NIV

Hos 12:7-9
7 The merchant uses dishonest scales;he loves to defraud.
8 Ephraim boasts,"I am very rich; I have become wealthy.With all my wealth they will not find in me any iniquity or sin."

9 "I am the Lord your God,[who brought you] out of Egypt; I will make you live in tents again,
as in the days of your appointed feasts.
NIV

"The people in banks who make the money are focused on just that."

 

The "focus" you glorify doesn't leave many cpu cycles left over for noticing the moral compass is spinning out of control, does it?

 

It is incumbent upon the honorable craftsman to be aware

of whether or not his services are being used

as a means to accomplish evil ends -

and to act [or NOT] accordingly.

 

 

NO SALE.

[The bankers that work hard to generate mortgages and small business loans have kept this country going.]

 

LOL.  You actually believe that don't you?

When "bankers" were actually the ones creating mortgages by lending what their DEPOSITORS had entrusted them with, that might have been true.   Jimmy Stewart and A Wonderful Life it WAS.

 

Since the early 90's however, the process of manufacturing mortgages has been gamed AT EVERY LEVEL OF THE PROCESS - from borrower and origination, through securitization, insurance (AIG), and associated derivative a$$paper generation.

 

That's not "A Wonderful Life" - it's a systemicaly corrupt PONZI SCHEME being gamed by a kleptocratic Apparatchik elite  who are Empower(tm)ed by techocratic useful idiots - many of whom are coerced into H1B servitude by having their feet dangled over the fires of poverty and the Indian Caste system.

 

Tata.
