It’s all true. I wish it was exaggerated. Left KE last yr and heard much of this, including the heart attack story, from RE associates. Admittedly, I heard the associate who had the heart attack wasn’t the best associate so he probably was going to get a negative review anyways. But still…

Are you the heart attack guy? Were you actually a bad associate? I’ve heard through the KE grapevine that you were a pretty bad associate. Apparently meeting deadlines wasn’t exactly in your skill set.

Sick burn, man. Are you always this bold, or are you on your second White Claw tonight?

Yeah not saying the post shouldn't draw ire, but nerd wouldn't have been my first choice.

Maybe I'm wrong - but I took that comment to mean that the review was independent of the heart attack. Like the associate was not very responsive/good and the review was written based on that performance and not his unresponsiveness during a medical emergency.

Still, they should have held off on giving the review given the timing of the heart attack, but I don't think the person who made that comment was trying to disparage the associate. Think just pointing out that it was independent, although the timing was piss poor from an optics point of view.

A better firm would have handled it with more class. End of story. Step back and see the big picture

If the associate needed to be “counseled out” there is a way to do that with class

Firm seems more akin to an investment bank in its current form than anything. Ruthless
