The Vampire Squid's Metamorphosis
When John L. Weinberg's memorial service was held in 2006, attendees mourned more than just Goldman Sachs' former leader - they grieved for the principles he embodied. His son captured the essence perfectly: "He saw right and wrong clearly, with no shades of gray." This moral clarity once defined Goldman Sachs, transforming it from a modest partnership into Wall Street's most prestigious investment bank. Yet by 2012, Rolling Stone would describe the firm as "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity." How did an institution once revered for integrity become a symbol of Wall Street excess? The answer lies not in a single catastrophic event but in organizational drift - a series of seemingly reasonable compromises that, over decades, fundamentally altered Goldman's DNA. Like the proverbial frog in slowly heating water, the firm's culture transformed so gradually that insiders barely noticed the change until the metamorphosis was complete.
