As you’ve probably experienced first-hand, Bloomberg runs a pretty full service help desk. In need of guidance? Bored? Horny? Log right on– that’s what they’re there for. Associates have been known to make restaurant recommendations, play rousing games of Hang Man, do entire large scale projects if one is able to thoroughly exasperate them by pretending to be a hopeless imbecile long enough (…try it), or just provide a sounding board for you to talk shit about your ex-boyfriend. So the news that a mere query re: strip clubs is apparently too much for their Victorian sensibilities is distressing to say the least.
Bloomberg is not known for its sense of humour, something one new recruit to a major American investment bank has just found out at the expense of his job. A batch of graduates were enduring a training session on Bloomberg’s unfathomable computer terminals yesterday, including a session on how to use the help button, which automatically brings up live assistance from an eager Bloombot.
Bored, and admittedly a little foolish, our young banker used the help option to ask, among other things: Where is a good strip club? Where’s the nearest place to Canary Wharf to buy porn? Bloomberg, where you have to check in your sense of perspective at the door or they won’t let you past security, reported the banker’s questions to his employer, which promptly sacked him.

What’s a strip Club?
-Jefferies Analyst
Was that wrong? Should I not have asked that?
@1 – please never bring up Maxine Waters in response to an article mentioning strip clubs and / or porn again. Thank you for your understanding.
to the analyst who was taken advantage of by a bloomberg terminal, we have a job offer you may be interested in

Former SEC hack still got his ‘tang jones on?
can’t fly buyside traders to Pebble beach anymore ????
what bank would give a rats butt?
There’s no way you can convince me that it wasn’t a woman working on the Bloomberg side. So some banker is being a little annoying? And she reports him to the bank? Did his comments justify him losing his fucking job? Impossible. I think a stern warning would have been sufficient.
The fucking rake.
PS- Boys are, by definition, jerks. The sooner everyone realizes and accepts that, the better off we’ll all be.
Another senseless tragedy which could have been avoided if more people listened to Bess and spread the word about Beamer’s.
Yawn. Dealbreaker has clearly run out of new material ever since Bess’s photo was made public.
Goldman Sachs?
no not Goldmans, banks in Canary Wharf, London inc are HBSC, Citi, Barcap, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suise and some other ones
Where is Bessies mugshot?
Article said major American Investment Bank–so that would be Citi or Morgan Stanley. Thought it would be Goldman with their new rules for e-mails.
Nasty stripper – Kyle J @Greentech
it was JPM – and dam right he got fired. scrawny new hire – “oh, where is the best strip club and porn plz.. har har har” JPM – “this is the creative, imaginative brain I pay 60k a year for? get the fuck out”
He was not fired.
JPM did not know who the culprit was so they revoked Bloomberg access of all the interns
Getting fired during training is the new killing it.
