Bridgewater Questioning Whether Ex-Co-CEO Ever Actually Read ‘Principles,’ Let Alone Her Employment Agreement

For someone seemingly so steeped in the Principled approach—minor videotaped transgressions aside—and its emphasis on process and doing things the right way, Bridgewater Associates has to admit it is very disappointed in former co-CEO Eileen Murray. Indeed, it has to wonder whether she ever really understood the Tao of Ray; whether, in spite of her having survived and apparently thrived for a decade in Westport, she ever really properly acclimated in those first 18 months. While she had perhaps in that time earned the right to have an opinion on how much she should have been paid on her way out the door, she surely should have known that it was very unPrincipled indeed to share that opinion her new employer, which just happens to be an employer that regulates Bridgewater, about their little dispute over determining the true value of a penis or lack thereof in a severance package. And surely she must, or should, have known that the proper (and, by the way, contractual) way to handle it was not in the courts.
