Delta Tau Cha-ching! - Anonymous New York ISO Employee Review

Few places you make $500k+ just for being cocky and self-interested. No real management skills needed, just throw peons & consultants under any buses coming at you and give the Board the mushroom treatment. Management is a supportive brotherhood, a lot like a frat, but better! Act better than everyone else and chase girls. Most important frat rule (ISO code of conduct), remain “independent”, which means have most important meetings with certain MPs (Money People) and scary government types on neutral turf (golf courses and bars) away from the crowds. Now that is independence. Don’t sweat the work and other small stuff, at these important meetings you will be told what conclusions to back in to. How else you gonna get the MPs (Money People) to approve those 33% annual bonuses, unless they make $$ too? That’s what “shared governance” means, you scratch their back, they scratch yours. And it isn’t like this $$ is coming out of the MPs or NYISOs pockets, what do you think consumers are for?
