17th Anniversary of 9-11...
On the 17th Anniversary of 9-11, we continue prayers for a path to peace. (Picture above - TishTrek and husband Harry @ the podium inside the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York City). It was the privilege of a lifetime for us to be with leaders from around the world on a night when honoring excellence in writing and reporting was the common language uniting all of us. As one of the proud sponsors of the Annual U.N. Correspondents' Dinner, we enjoyed honoring excellence in writing and communications by helping to fund scholarships for international university students who had the courage & talent to tackle some of the difficult issues of our time. Through their magnificent words, they successfully created content that helped readers see through the lens of their research & life experiences. These students inspired all of us. I have confidence the next generation will pick up where we leave off.

Killing You & Your Job 'Softly' @ Goldman Sachs!

Welcome to TishTrek - THE JOB BLOG!

Great news from Goldman Sachs! Julie Steinberg @ http://www.fins.com/Finance reported in her on-line article, "At Goldman, You're Fired Gently" that Goldman's laid off associates are getting a three month GRACE PERIOD to clean out their cubes and offices!

That's excellent! - a little respect for those who didn't execute the steps that ruined our economy is in order. Being nice to laid off employees is the least Goldman can do after their giant taxpayer bailout and all those counterparty contracts forced AIG to pay 100% on the dollar for Goldman's intentional risky bets/losses during the subprime/CDO crisis that GS executives helped create.

This return to a 'gentle shove' is right in line with how Goldman elbowed business integrity out the door while 'gently shoving' its way to the Fed's Lending window to borrow an additional $30 billion without Congress's, the public's, or even shareholders' knowledge. They do it because they can.
