ParticipantAllan: Regarding personality types, my brother is an INTJ like me (I recognize NTJs quickly) and his ex-wife used to joke to my mother that sometimes he seemed like an alien. To which my brother would reply in a montone voice (with his two forefingers on top of his head like antennae): “Take me to your leader.” That always killed me.
Regarding those corporate motivator things (“successories” – uggh!!), you’ve probably seen the anti-successories (“demotivators”), but if you haven’t, please visit http://www.despair.com. True genius at work.
Some folks just aren’t wired to work for other folks. It’s better to just acknowledge it and move on – as you’ve done – than try to fit your square peg in a round hole and end up miserable.
Actually, taking a tangent here, I have a large fund-of-funds client that I consult for and they were thinking of investing about $15 million with my former employer. It would have been ten-year locked-up money with a big carry if things worked out. Naturally, I steered my client to someone else, thus costing my former employer somewhere in the neighborhood of $4-$10 million (depending on performance). Now, you may think, “Wow, that’s petty, Dave.” To which I would respond, “Yes. Yes it is. And yet I enjoyed it.” And it had the additional benefit of actually being the right thing to do on behalf of the client. But I digress.

ParticipantDave: Another friend of mine showed me Despair.com stuff about five years ago and I remember laughing my ass off at their website. Truly good stuff and in a really subversive kind of way. One thing that this country has lost (other than political parody and true satire) is it’s sense of humor.
As far as your hedge fund story goes: I’m German on both sides of my family and our traditional Christmas toast (with fiery peppermint schnapps) is: “Death to your enemies”. No shit. Screw your enemies, especially if they’re French.
