In a lawsuit filed by a former employee Andre Wrobel, Patriarch Partners founder Lynn Tilton was accused of having a slightly unorthodox management style around the office. Before we get to the allegations (which Tilton’s attorney described as “scandalous” and “irrelevant”), we’re going to take a little quiz, aimed at business owners and those in leadership positions. Please answer the following:

1) What are some appropriate nicknames to refer to employees by:
a) sport, champ, hoss
b) buddy boy, bro, broheim
c) idiot, dumbass, hey stupid
d) dicks, fucks, assholes

2) To command the room during a meeting do you:
a) Speak loudly and clearly
b) have a rule that anyone who interrupts or plays with his/her Blackberry is thrown out
c) Sit in such a way that your crotch area is exposed to those persons who must face and address you.

3) Which of the following are okay to do to employees (circle all that apply):
* hit them
* insult them
* throw things at them
* beat them

4) What is an appropriate level of fabric when it comes to the breast area:
a) The amount found in a turtle neck
b) however much it takes to cover them completely
c) just enough so that they’re “barely restrained to the point of wiggling and moving like they are about to fall out at any minute”

5) An underling tells you something you think might be a lie. Do you:
a) Ask them some probing follow up questions
b) tell them “I don’t think you’re being honest with me”
c) wait for them to trip themselves up in the lie
d) sarcastically respond “Sure, you expect me to believe that, like I’m going to believe you’re not going to cum in my mouth!”

Here are a few ways Wrobel describes Tilton’s management style (which also serve as the answer key to the above):

    Oh please! How pathetic! The claims made by Wrobel are just that, claims. Claims, that are also unfounded and have been venemously spit by a disgrunteled ex-employee. Wrobel..read, just another wall street hog digging for dollars with a personal vendetta. Sure the woman is a bit a rough around the edges when you hold her up against a tight lipped, pearl bearing, turtle neck conservative (and even then , I ‘ve seen one or two kick crap around and swear)…but it should be obvious to anyone that she consciouly chose to run with the boys…to be considered an equal, and achieving that by holding her ground, whether by proudly flaunting her decolletage (which she has consciouly and strategically done, and spoken out about) or flaunting a mini skirt. Foul mouth? Anyone who has worked in any arm of finance has subjected their ears at one time or another to swearing. Simple indsutry common place. As though the writers of the articles never swear close to deadline? If any man were engaging in these practices, there’d be no story. Sensationalizing nothing at all……….

    And? Who cares? I’ve seen those pictures and I think they are awesome….the woman is eccentric as hell, no doubt about that. Pushing the boundaries is a breath of fresh air in a sea of suits. A bit shrewd, tacky jewels and rough words, but does that mean she doesn’t get the job done? That she hasn’t been honest or fair to her employees and that Wrobel didn’t deserve to get fired? EVERY day you would find rough and degrading behavior spewing from the most sophisticated and refined ranking gentleman in any big bank or alternative shop….yet, there are no articles written here about it, unless the extremity of their behavior went well beyond any of the above claims. What is the point of this article? This is reminisce of a Salem witch hunt. Instead of wasting time crying like babies over swearing and flagerent, exagerated claims about a woman who is actually quite bright and fair, best to redirect your time towards surveilling the very men who brought down wall street not so long ago (putting us all in the hole) and still live on in positions of power engaging in far worse and/or risky behavior personally and proffesionaly….

    Can’t identify with style choices and most likely don’t party as hard as the old girl, but the woman is accomplished and has found herself ranking amongst the company of men that I imagine most of us on here could only dream to reach.

    I dont think anyone is dissing her accomplishments, or whether there exists salty language or inappropriate comments made across the Street. The question presented is whether her behavior in the CONTEXT OF THE LAW, is within the bounds of reasonableness. She’s got some problems if even 50% of this is true and her success as a business woman doesn’t excuse, what we all know is massively inappropriate.

    Inappropriate does not equate to illegal, despite what the HR-types would like to believe. To tell the truth it’s not even clear to me from the Forbes article that any of her behaviour is relevant to the legal case, which seems to be some sort of a contract dispute– which is likely why the evidence concerning that was struck from the record “on procedural grounds.”

    The accusations may be true but they probably would never have generated a legal action were it not for Lynn T’s net worth…
