Goldman Sachs Is Over Greg Smith, Who They'd Like To Remind You Never Even Earned A Set of Steak Knives While At The Firm
Goldman Sachs found no support for claims by Greg Smith, a former employee, that the firm has stopped putting clients first, said Edith Cooper, global head of human capital management. "As we looked into his claims I was very pleased to see there wasn’t merit," Cooper, 51, said on Bloomberg Television’s “Market Makers” with Erik Schatzker and Stephanie Ruhle. [...] "Quite frankly, he got to a point where he was not comfortable being at Goldman Sachs. We have done everything we could to make sure his claims were not valid. I am confident in suggesting that we have not found anything substantive. Instead, we have moved on." [...] Goldman Sachs says that Smith, before he resigned, was denied a promotion and a $1 million pay package he had sought. The firm also says that Smith was the lowest-paid among the vice presidents who started in the same training class, and that a third of those classmates had been promoted to managing director.
