In a seemingly positive article this morning about Wall Street having and spending shitloads of money again, a troubling firing story is relayed:
A Morgan Stanley trader recently tried to hire a dwarf for a bachelor party in Miami, asking the dwarf to meet him at the airport in a “Men in Black” style suit, according to e-mail exchanges. The trader, who wanted to handcuff the dwarf to the bachelor, was recently fired.
No answer is provided as to why the trader was canned, and so we’re left to wonder, What Is Morgan Stanley’s Problem? It’s important we answer this question so other employees can know what exactly management is and isn’t cool with. So, is MS’ prob:
* The dwarf? Does the bank discriminate against the vertically challenged?
* The “Men In Black” scenario?
* The handcuffs? (James Gorman prefers more professional restraints)
* The planning of a bachelor party over company email, despite it being an event leading up to marriage, one of the most important and happiest moments of someone’s life?
* None of the above (WELL WHAT THEN?)
Wall Street Dares To Indulge Itself Again [Dealbook via BI]
It’s because I wasn’t invited
Morgan Stanley should hire an entire incoming class of analysts all under 3 feet and dressed in Men In Black outfits. That would truly strike fear into the hearts of other analyst classes across wall street.
I have no concerns with handcuffing Ross Perot to a bachelor.
Who doesn’t?
long handcuffs, short midgets
MS recruiting is always coming up short.
For the record, it was all an unfortunate misunderstanding between me and Mr. Gorman and this particular trader and in no way affected my rating on the stock.
he promised to bride to be that he would provide a little security for the bachelor…and he did…other than that I have no concerns.

On the bright side, he’ll no problem finding a new job. Little person enthusiasts are always welcome at Harbinger.
Talking pugs will be be the new accessory on the street.
Solution: MS is having trouble paying bonuses. Therefore why don’t they hire dwarves as their new analyst class? I heard you can pay them half as much.

We prefer “little people”
Did anyone watch the video? Is Suzanne Craig a tranny?
Damn, I was really looking forward to that trip to Miami.

It was because the fee for Mike Bloombergs appearance was included in an expense report
I’m glad we bankrupted America’s taxpayers to save that tool’s bonus.
Getting cuffed to a midget is the new killing it.
wow, im glad someone else share my enthusiasm for dwarfs. would totally have one as my sidekick
The trader was canned because the dwarf is a prostitute, hired to ‘service’ the hooker-dancers for the enjoyment of the men attending the party. This is a fairly common phenomenon at wilder bachelor parties. Surprised, however, that MS saw the truth – must be some freaks in the house.
Management was not invited.
Tranny? Where? Suddenly I’m very interested.

Is that really the plural form? I’m kinda partial to Dwarfs. And yes, I always capitalize. Gotta give the little folks some height even if only in name.
Guess management weren’t really excited by the idea of a dwarf getting freaky…
most likely the reason is trader’s boss was not invited,
the only rule MS HR has ‘protect the higher hierarchy’
