When the compensation consultant left Goldman's Socks the news was not good. You have to reduce your outfit by at least 25 per cent, he said. Everyone is dressing down, he said.
Socks seemed the most logical to go. After all, Goldman's Guys run around the Hamptons all summer without socks anyway. Some of them even think it's cool to go clubbing sans socks. They could hardly complain if they were asked to take a sock for the firm in these tight times.
They'll still have their suits, shirts, (ties optional) undies and shoes. Socks, not so much, at least until things pick up.
As he strode out the door of Goldman's Socks, the consultant hitched up his trousers just enough that his anklets were visible. A man of his word, he had reduced his own sock length by about 60%.
What a sockrifice!
