Poor Guy

I hope this (ex)analyst figures out what makes him happy.

Subject: Sorry everyone

I’m leaving the bank now.

I’m not made to do this. If I put my mind to something as much as I do here to mindless text editing, copy and pasting, and getting yelled at for stuff other people can’t/won’t/don’t do, I would be much better off. It’s 6:43 a.m. on a Sunday, and I have at least 14 more hours of work to do today that will not be fulfilling, useful, appreciated, recognized, or paid for.

Sorry this is last minute, but it’s just not worth doing more

My blackberry is on my desk

Apparently that failed staffing request was fatal (no, not as in I’m going to kill myself, hehe, I’m just going to go enjoy life). There is no happiness here.

I took all my personal stuff. No one needs to contact me for anything (except for a drink for those of you with my personal number). I will only be at my New York address a few days longer.

Good luck y’all,

Kudos to radical honesty. Farewell messages often teeter on the edge of hypocrisy - this one doesn’t. As to figuring out what makes you happy, I’d say that’s the number one mission we all have for our time on earth.

Paola - I agree! I think we have both seen our fair share of lame farewell messages ;)

Looking back I can only recall 1 leaving message from Firm members, and that was because it was a super-transparent “I’ve been asked to leave” format. The person concerned earned huge creditability from it. That said, Marty’s “I am not leaving” note was also superb - possibly his most memorable work in the Firm ;-)

This is a hoax. There is no such phone number. No such guy. But why would anyone do a thing like that. It’s even been reported on various banking news websites that obviously do not check their sources.
