Brandes Lays Off More Than 40
Thanks Don for the heads up about this story a couple of weeks ago. Can't believe I missed this post last month. Nothing here surprises me. Just as was with me back in the day the Holidays are BIP favorite time of year to wrongfully terminate....er layoff the honest hard working employees who have spoken up about the firms misbehavior/mismanagement. It's the same as it has always been within BIP. Zero accountability at the top. Cronyism at it's finest, and yes these same individuals could careless about the health of there current or former employees. When I was wrongfully terminated back in the day, I was suffering from crohn's disease that landed me in the hospital two months later after I spoke up about the sexism and promotions rewarded to some regardless of there competence or qualifications. I know in my heart, some day, these nasty human beings will be exposed for who they really are.— January 4, 2012 7:48 a.m.
San Diegans Sparse in Forbes 400 List
Brandes and his firm represent everything that is wrong with corporate America. Greed, corruption, sexism, self serving to say the least. Lets face it, he does nothing but hide behind his attorneys and his brick walls of his office.— October 6, 2010 1:31 p.m.
Brandes Extremely Bullish. But Is That Comforting?
Don, just reviewed Brandes performance for Q1. Are you kidden me. When is somebody from some type of regulatory institution going to step in and start holding some of these 6 to 7 figure paycheck clowns responsible for LOSING millions more in the first quarter 2009?— April 23, 2009 8:09 a.m.
Kodak Down 5%. Brandes Takes Another Hit
hopefully some day this clown and his texan buddy w. james brown will finally be exposed and held accountable.— March 11, 2009 8:43 a.m.
Brandes Investment Partners Still Underperforming Sharply, Losing Clients
Don, just seen the numbers. As an ex-employee I'm not surprised. He and his worthless analyst bunch are San Diego's own local Madoff. Inside the company there is sexism and and a lack of accountability. I wonder if he will give back some of his ill-gotten gains? As the year as gone by he has gone into seclusion. Never read about his extravagant live style in the local fish wrap any more. Have you seen the net worth of Brandes and some of his partners. GREED! Tried to warn him back in the '90's about irrational exuberance. For those who believe he is a nice guy, you have not had to work for him. It is very cut throat and the firm treats it's employees terribly. Many of them have had physical and emotional problems that have ruined careers and landed them on disability. The firm is a staunch supporter of the failed policies of the Bush administration. Eventually(KARMA), how a company is run will come out in the numbers. I do not feel sorry for some one who has ruined lives and lost millions, NOR DOES BRANDES HIMSELF OR HIS ACCOMPLICES. Where is and was FINRA, NASD, SEC, and the CFA when you need them?— January 24, 2009 9:26 a.m.
Medicare broken, Social Security broken, SEC broken
response to post #10 Don, I in no way want a recession or a depression. The facts are the facts. Government statistics such as the unemployment rate make no such sense whatsoever and by far come under the term accounting irregularities. This administration has been doing everything possible to make over this debt fueled economy for years now. Take for example the rebate from a couple of years ago or the one coming this summer. A bunch of baloney. Where does all the funding come from. Cutting taxes...no. Print more money...inflation and a week dollar. Auction off more treasuries....foreign countries almost now account for 50% of USA debt. The problem with society is that the people seem more concerned and know more about whats going on week to week with the garbage that is on television now a days such as reality shows. As far as socities problems are concerned the current regime just creates more laws and forces it's will on other countries. Sounds like facism or socialism or Al-Qaeda....— April 10, 2008 1:18 p.m.
Medicare broken, Social Security broken, SEC broken
WELL WRITTEN DON, even though you refused to listen to me about irregularities at Brandes Investment Partners, which by the way have absolutely zero regulation either by the SEC or the NASD or any other regulatory body. The closest thing to regulation they have is Chartered Financial Analyst designations for individuals and that is it. Brandes is a prime local example of excesses that will eventually sink this economy into DEPRESSION by the end of the year about the time the worst President ever leaves office. I'm also in complete agreement that the Iraq war is a MAJOR drain on this economy. It is my opinion that the best hope for the USA is that when the DEPRESSION is here, and it may already be here, that the USA slips into anarchy with a NEW REVOLUTION BY THE PEOPLE to take back this country from a phony government that no longer is for the people by the people that is really for the fat cats by the fat cats. Only then will there be hope to regain some sanity and a future for the all of us. I will definetly get the word out about this article so others may be educated.— April 10, 2008 6:37 a.m.
