On March 14 Greg Smith publicly resigned as executive director of Goldman Sachs. In an
opinion piece that ran in the New York Times, Smith detailed his reasons for leaving the
investing giant, citing a decline in the company’s culture. According to Smith, when he began working for Goldman Sachs immediately after college, the company prided itself on camaraderie among team members and caring for clients. Since then, Smith says, the global leader has shifted to a profit-driven model and employed investors who demean their clients and manipulate sales. In protest, Smith has chosen to leave Goldman Sachs and very publicly let people know why.

Congratulations on winning the 2011 Heisman Trophy and everything you have done for Baylor University, the Waco community and the sport of college football. As an Auburn graduate watching from afar, I was very impressed with your sterling performance and even more so with the kind of person you are, your class, your dignity, and your focus on real-life issues that have nothing to do with football. I was so impressed that I decided to fly from my home in Georgia to San Antonio to see you compete in the Alamo Bowl, and I was not disappointed at all in the victorious performance of you and your teammates at the Alamodome.
Nothing makes me sadder than when I’m talking with someone about a book or movie based off a book and they say, “Oh, I don’t read.”
