you can have a great year at bridgewater and still get a zero bonus.
greg jensen, co-cio of the $150 billion hedge fund, on the rule he brought in around 2012: if what you learned isn't written down in plain english and turned into code inside what they call the "secure garden", it doesn't count.
"you don't get any bonus. nothing that you did. I don't care how great your results were. I don't care what happened... it does not count. zero. you get nothing."
