FYI, in addition to hating these newfangled automatic flushers, the PIMCO founder will cut a bitch for speaking and/or audibly breathing on the floor.

Gross is surrounded by seven computer screens with two stuffed animals — a bull and bear — sitting on top of them; El-Erian uses four monitors. The two leaders rarely speak to each other on the floor. Gross enforces a policy of near silence, sometimes by glaring at offenders who talk too loudly.

Going to make the leap in logic that he also would not appreciate you talking to him while he’s figuring out how to work the sophisticated toilet technology. You’ve been warned.

    Why doesn’t the firm move him into a corner office to save the sanity of his co-workers? I’d get OSHA in there stat.

    That is normal. Prop is always very quiet – most folks use chat even if sitting next to each other or the the aforementioned treatment otherwise. Complete opposite of the s&t floor environment.

    @2 I didn’t suggest it wasn’t normal. I’m just letting you know what makes BG tick.

    If Bill Gross was looking for safe, he wouldn’t be sticking his dick in a toilet.

    7 screens? That’s a lot of vintage 70′s internet porn.

    BG does NOT want you masturbating loudly at the desk. Use slippery lubricant that won’t make noise and NO MOANING.
