We like to think our time working for this e-rag has given us, if not company-supplied dental insurance, a strong stomach, able to withstand the most hideous, funky tasting spunk of news. But this truly makes us want to gag: Goldman employees getting shit bonuses. Makes you want to gag, too, doesn’t it? According the Post cost center employees at the Broad, expecting to receive 75 percent of their salary as bonus this year, got fifteen. On a day when I woke up specifically wondering if I should get out of bed or not, and more generally asking, what the hell am I doing with my life, this is not the kind of news I want to hear. When you can’t count on the lowest of Goldman Sachs workers—IT, back office, etc.—to at least be compensated on par with the senior executives at, I don’t know, Bear Stearns, what can you count on? Nothing. If I were born with normal functioning tear ducts, I’d probably be shedding a few right about now (rest assured that there’s an almost embarrassing amount of wet ones rolling down Carney’s face).

did she just say funky tasting spunk???
where is everyone. Bet with their head down, trying to look as if they are working diligently, in order to avoid the axe.
Too late… HR will have prepared the paperwork (and the path to the abattoir [not covered in rose petals]) weeks ago.
Re: 10:21
Yes, yes she did. God bless Bess.
damn…that hurts
bess – your paragraph is nearly incomprehensible. learn to how to manage punctuation, adverbs, and syntax. for the love.
actually, dude, it’s completely comprehensible. learn how to kill yourself before posting. for the love.
nice try 5:28. we know you’re bitter b/c you’re in the perma-ankle-grab position, but try and come up with something better next time, okay?
Back office getting 75%? This is fishy. Unless it’s manager’s position.
Maybe at GS. They have a reputation in IT of paying really well but working you to the bone.
