Nice little career you've got there. Shame if anything were to happen to it.

As if to cement their hard-earned reputation as crooks of the highest order:

One recruiter warned that Smith’s bold parting shot could make it tricky for him to find a new employer.

"If Smith is looking for a new job, he’s playing a very dangerous game,” said Dave Way of Marks Sattin, "Like most of the City’s major employers, Goldman Sachs have a strong network of alumni running companies across the world who could be bosses or clients for high-level professionals changing jobs. Those that didn’t leave for the same reasons as Mr Smith may not think his words about their former colleagues were particularly well chosen."

Bloody nerve

I assumed when I saw the Twitter Storm (and not having read the letter) that he had decided to leave the industry/retire. Because nobody in such a "high-flying" role could think it was a good idea to move within the same industry like that? Surely?

BE,

Either he's a naive idiot (unlikely if he's worked for Goldman Sucks for 12 years), or he already has a job offer from someone who doesn't like GS, or he's leaving the industry. I hope it's the second option, just so that he can say "Yah boo sucks" to Mr Wey.

Maybe he's loaded and doesn't need to work.

A lot of them have no option but to stay there, so they can service the lease on the yacht don't they?

Perhaps he has sufficient notoriety now that that would not happen. It might be cool to take him on.
