Maybe it was intended to be a playful nibble that went awry?

“When people hear “woman” and “Wall Street,” they expect to hear about sexual harassment. I’ve certainly heard plenty of horror stories from women in their 40s or 50s. They were propositioned by every boss, ordered to wear short skirts, passed over for promotion in favor of under-qualified dunderheads…The list goes on. But by the time I came to Wall Street, the culture had changed, and you couldn’t get away with harassing co-workers in that way. That doesn’t mean there wasn’t any inappropriate behavior, however. Every banker has her own stories, and my friends and I still trade them around.

On one occasion, during an argument at a team dinner, a senior officer leaned over as if to whisper something in his junior colleagues’ ear and then, according to a witness, took a bite out of it, “Mike Tyson style.”

    …this sounds more made up than fiat money.

    I bet he had an ear full because the rubber chicken tasted awful.

    I’m a seller of this story. And the bus road-kill one too.

    Eating ears is the NKI

    Ears are for pussies.

    If I have to hear another whiny tale of a woman defeated by the “glass ceiling” and the “old boy’s network”, I will volunteer to have my ears bitten off. Lynn Tilton may be heinous but at least she isn’t a whiny crybaby.

    We cannot forget Tyson’s NSFW motivational speech, of course.

    ear biting story is true, MD from MS. Even better, that’s not the best story about this particular MD

    Nothing sexier than a smart female who swears like a sailor. Clandestinely starts furiously masturbating.

    i was as summer associate and there was this smoking hot chick sitting on the m&a floor. when i talked to her at one of the cocktail parties, i asked her how long she had been there (she actually had a real office). “I am an intern” she replied. Me too, must have been a different program. Here is how it ended

    Raj only tried to take a bite from that Lulu-clad ass but he was held back by three technology analysts.
