I am digging into Bridgewater JC's former employer of 5 yrs.
As we are all aware, his new book "A Higher Loyalty" will hit the stores mid April..
His former boss at Bridgewater is Ray Dalio. There are some strange ideas he has about leadership, he dubs "Radical transparency"
has created an unusual and confrontational workplace at Bridgewater Associates, the
world’s largest hedge fund firm. interesting to note is all employees are under constant monitoring, both video and recording of all meetings and phone calls.
While he requires this of everyone who works there, more telling is that there are only a handful of people who know how the complete operation of Bridgewater works.
"Secrecy at Bridgewater is so tight that in some units employees are required to lock up their personal cellphones each morning when they arrive at work."
(NYT article attached to earlier post #511808) Is this where JC derives his idea's of leadership and truth? What a creepy spook!
A sample search of the company address, shows some interesting results. While outwardly the company Bridgewater is the only known occupant of the building
doing an address search shows something different there seem to be other businesses not conected to finance in any way within in the building, however,
they are run by different people who are also employees of the company. Seems very suspicious!
Also located there 501c3 Private Nonoperating Foundation, not a public charity. "Dalio Family Foundation, Inc." is just one.
A search of 990 filings show some strange interesting results as well. This Charity is operated by wife, Barbara Dalio, a search of her produced
nothing informative other than a few photographs and an article for a concert funded or sponsored by the foundation in the town of Greenwich,CT.
I have a few opinions of what is happening here, I belive this is a larger issue than what was of another well known money manager.
This is the largest fund in the country. Something here is diffently not right!
