From the mailbag:
Word is there’s some strange stuff going down on Mr. ESL’s watch. Five high up people have left just to go to Bloomberg alone in the past few months. He has in his head what a unit’s numbers should be, and if they come in better or worse he tells the unit head “You’re wrong, that’s not what I think it should be” and micro-manages based on his (false) sense of the numbers. Very strange, not trusting accountants’ numbers, no? Many people there are seriously questioning what’s going on.
Spring is next bonus time and there’s chatter more people have plans to leave then too. Definitely sounding like rats leaving the ship. Five people leaving to go to – Bloomberg? Who leaves a place like that, at this time, if there’s a big future upside? Something is up.

Bloomberg must be starting a new competitor to KMart. An information supermarket and an actual one…brilliant!
Kmart sucks!

No big deal. Stuff like this happens all the time @ ________.
I only wear Brioni.

Why is he standing in the Womans section? And why is his hand down his pants? Can someone send me his contact data?

High-up people as in back/middle office or 5 high-up people on the investment/front office side?
If they leave you for UBS, then you really have issues
@6 not back/middle office, I don’t particularly think that’d cause people concern…
FAS 157 win
@6 do you really think Bess would post this if it is simply a drawdown of the secretary pool?
@8 more vitriol please
This has the violent antics of a certain tavern written all over it.
@Bess/8
As the email said, who leaves a big HF to go to…Bloomberg?
I once left my firm to go to Hooters – i was back before noon though
We had an assisant leave one day for lunch and never come back.
I left Radio Shack for Rebellion Research. God I miss my commission.
Is there a Kmart/Sears in Greenwich?
I once left my desk for the shitter, I usually shit my pants
I knew this would happen and acted accordingly.
These insiders sold short Sears in April, before announcing their exit. Thats why its down over 50%.
I left my terminal to go to Sears once. So we’re even?
This kind of thing happened all the time in Soviet Russia. It was no big deal.
Eddie “Bauer” Lampert wishes he could leave, too.
Did they go to Bloomberg for training? If so, when are they coming back?
@12/8 Bloomberg LP presumably has a huge slug of cash on the balance sheet– perhaps there’s an internal unit running that? Can’t think going to start demoing Launchpad functionality or something.
I left Ping Capital for Club LaBare once
I wouldn’t wish my worst enemy to join Bloomberg. But these 5 idiots did! I don’t know whether to give them advice on the local pusher (Because they’re going to need it) or tell them it’s not too late to join the local fire department.
Things must be wasting away in Lampert-Ville.
