Fuck the SEC and its baseless charges. Screw the Rajaratman-loving director. That all pales in comparison and gravity to this. As you know Goldman has new headquarters. And guess what? Some people aren’t very happy. With the move comes a little good and a whole lotta bad. First, the good, sore consolation prizes in light shitty views and being forced to look at each other’s dicks only if you choose to do so:
* a gym with classes like “Awesome Abs.”
* a panorama that includes New York Harbor.
* Sugar and grease: “the Sky Lobby cafeteria that offers a deep panini lineup and deadly cupcakes”
And now, on with the bad. The so very bad:
* Managing directors almost always get windowless inside offices (“I used to have an office with a view,” explained one managing director. “Now I need binoculars to see sunlight.”)
* Vice presidents, many of whom had offices before the move, now sit at open-space workbenches that in an earlier era would have been called a typing pool. (“I haven’t had a desk like this since high school,” said one employee who asked not to be named.)
* The new steam rooms for men and women are drawing mixed reviews. Some employees find the idea of “steaming” with co-workers objectionable. Others, not so much. “Once you have seen your colleagues naked in the locker room, steaming with them isn’t that weird,” says one employee.
I love steaming with my colleagues. Especially that new guy from MA
Except Nancy, her face always melts.

this is an outrage!
Bess, funny.
there is nothing wrong with having to swallow a footlong in a steamroll.
Imagine Lloyd Blankfein in the steamer with a sock in his skivvies. Gives new meaning to the term, “big swinging dick.”
Are there special areas in the steam room for partners to sit where holes are cut in the benches to accomodate for the hanging of the oversized gold plated scrotes?
I’m fearful of what might take place this weekend with MDs rioting on Greenwich Ave in CT as they flip over Bentleys chanting “no windows, no peace”.

wait, are the steamrooms co-ed? Are the bathrooms Ally McBeal style too?
I know I’d much rather someone see my junk in a steam room than when I’m changing after swimming. Just sayin’.
Of the day? How about of history of Goldman Sachs where employees just look at pornography all day!

Cramers site is as dumb as his noisy, irritating, pushy, useless show. People leave the TV on for their cats to keep them company his show is a favorite among the feline population. How did he get that show with all the tarded sound effects did he used to work for a magician or something?
