Minpunten
The CEO tries to push the company to certain directions. It used to be the company's goal is to maximize pnl. now, we do a lot of useless stuffs - like publishing a book, flying people around the globe attending meetings, hiring management consultants. We have more administrator assistants then ever before. Nothing wrong with trying to become big, but the company imposes more and more restrictive rules on researchers and portfolio managers to achieve that. For example, research directors would group researchers into different groups and force researchers to work in certain areas. They had to meet monthly alpha submission quotas. and portfolio managers are required to make money only through maximizing certain utility functions and work only in certain areas.
