So it seems then that ultra-transparency and a culture of candor bordering on hostility doesn't prevent people from being assholes, and takes away avenues for raising concerns with management. I wonder if this is more a result of the company being an old boys club (like just about every hedge fund), or if it's just a commentary on human nature.

- eropple 10y agoI've never encountered an environment where this wasn't the case. When I was younger and, in many ways, more of an asshole, I found myself playing along in such a culture--candor and "straight talk" were ways for me to step right up to the line and try to put me over somebody else. Breaking free of it was difficult.
