Gorman is still trying to resolve it for Pick in his new role as executive chairman. Gorman says he promised Ted Pick he'd resolve this before Pick took over as CEO. The SEC is still investigating Morgan Stanley's block trading business, which is accused of tipping off large hedge fund clients ahead of share sales. To the Wall Street Journal, Gorman also divulges a promise he's made not to desert his successor. In these interviews, he divulges things like his approach to getting things done (write a checklist on the first day of the year), his battles with Moody's as it attempted to impose a three notch downgrade on Morgan Stanley debt, and his habit of writing Morgan Stanley's revenues and his resultant stock price predictions on pieces of paper every night and keeping them in a box. Separately, James Gorman has left his job as CEO of Morgan Stanley after 14 years and has been giving all sorts of interviews and appearing in articles as an extended encomium. 'I fear they'll pay us in something like far-dated carried interest in funds that have yet to be deployed.' Goldman said in November that it plans to pay top performers in its asset management division a higher proportion of carry in the future. 'I just don't see how they have the cash to pay us,' he says.

The implication would seem to be that some people at Goldman might be paid very well, many might be paid tolerably, and some will be paid terribly and leave in a huff. On the other, the New York Post said last week that miserable bonuses are coming at Goldman in an effort to make poor performers go away.

On one hand, Financial News reported before Christmas that Goldman is planning a 10% bonus hike for dealmakers despite a year of limp performance, and the Financial Times said at the same time that Goldman was planning to increase bonuses for traders. Amends must be made.Īnd yet, as the date approaches, the portents are confusing. 'Last year was absolute Armageddon,' says one Goldman insider of his previous bonus. They expect a 29% rise, second only to the 30% rise expected at HSBC. Our own bonus expectations survey showed that Goldman people have very high hopes for their bonuses this year. Goldman Sachs announces its fourth quarter results next week, and around the same time it will let its people know the size of their bonuses. It's bonus season, not quite yet but very soon.
