What about Fishback work ethics? Is he trust worthy? Is he humble? Is he honest?
“Fishback is a former Greenlight Research Analyst who left Greenlight on August15, 2023. Correctly deducing that he was about to be terminated for his poor performance and lack of accountability, Fishback resigned on July 31, 2023.”
“Fishback lied to Greenlight even before here signed, concealing the fact that he formed Azoria as early as July 4, 2023”
“Fishback falsely represented himself to industry contacts and at industry events as Greenlight’s “Head of Macro” and the person “running macro investing” at Greenlight and responsible for the “insane” performance of Greenlight’s macro investment portfolio. None of these things were true.”
“Throughout the course of Fishback’s employment at Greenlight, Fishback failed tomeet even minimal performance expectations. Fishback consistently failed to devote appropriatetime and effort to his Greenlight responsibilities and was notified repeatedly that his work productwas unacceptably delayed, undeveloped, or otherwise incomplete. Furthermore, he also showeda lack of accountability, and even dishonesty”
“October 2021, Mr. Einhorn informed Fishback that he was on formalnotice and that he was on “thin ice,” due in part to errors and carelessness in his performance”
“Fishback’s substandard performance continued into 2022. When these performanceissues were raised to Fishback, Greenlight came to understand that he would avoid accountabilitythrough dishonesty. For instance, in the first quarter of 2022, Fishback made careless errors in hisown work on multiple occasions, but attempted to blame others in order to avoid personalaccountability.”
“Fishback sent an email with the details of the trade to Greenlight’s operationsstaff informing them that the required initial margin for the transaction was $1.4 million. In reality,however, the counterparty had requested $4.1 million of initial margin.”
“Fishback didnot take ownership of his mistake, instead replying that it was “a bank error.” In fact, there was no bank error.”
In his 2022 performance review it stated ““[w]hen projects are assigned by David to James, they often don’t get evaluated in a timely manner and sometimes not at all”.”
