It's bonus day at Goldman Sachs. Officially known as “Compensation Communication Day,” today is the day when many at Goldman are finding out what their bonus will be. And it's "really ugly" today, according to one Goldman employee.
A midlevel Goldman Sachs employee who works in the Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities division put it this way: "It's a bloodbath. People are trying to put on a strong face but there are a lot of clenched jaws."
One thing that makes the situation even more intense is that many receive the news of their bonus in a very public way. Here's how Kevin Roose and Susanne Craig describe the process:
On Compensation Communication Day, the atmosphere inside Goldman’s office can be tense. Most employees are called one by one into a managing partner’s glass-walled office, where they are informed of their bonus numbers, as well as any stock awards or deferred cash payments they will get.
Not everyone can keep their cool under such scrutiny....
