hedge funds and/or investment banks

Do fellow employees at investment banks and hedge funds like each other? A movie (The Big Short)that I watched made me think they do not. And a friend who is in college studying finance also says that employees at Goldman Sachs don't like each other.Rich (talk) 07:30, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

i don't understand your question.Rich (talk) 10:09, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Compared to other businesses or corporations. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:15, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

good point, could be other industries and companies and associations that have colleagues that dislike each other, like Comcast and the GOP. Rich (talk) 21:38, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Unavoidably, some will like each other and some won't. One may expect employees of such utterly materialistic and profit-driven institutions to be somewhat aligned with the nature of their work environment and care more about climbing up the corporate ladder than the well-being of their co-workers. But this can only be a tendency, not a fast rule.  --Lambiam 10:57, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

That shows a lot of wisdom:-). any news reports, exposes, bloggers who are disgruntled employees etc? Rich (talk) 14:28, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

I thought this was interesting. 2601:648:8200:990:0:0:0:F1B9 (talk) 08:21, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
