This article reminds me of the girlfriend that puts up with all sorts of issues in a relationship but never addresses them. Then one day she snaps and leaves without warning, when all along the relationship may have been saved with some effort. I'm not saying he didn't try (his mentoring certainly suggests he did), but it's a shame such a (previously?) reputable firm has fallen so low. I'm not familiar with Goldman's hierarchy, but my impression would be that Greg is in a very senior position within the company. Greg sounds like he was in a direct position to influence the culture of the company and maybe turn it back into what he remembered from his past. As an executive director, I think that he almost has a duty to do just that. I'd be interested in Warren Buffet's take on Goldman's Culture, or was he one of the ones that got bilked (although it seems like his investment is doing well)?
