I was 24 and they gave me 126k USD a year. I had no idea what I was doing apart from a call to Dallas 2 times a week. I Once checked my massive office for cams cause I thought i was on a game show
Worked there for almost 2 years and it ruined me
I did get a nice Motorbike and I used to buy 75 pingers at a time. Like I told you almost ruined me
I think it might be ecstasy, but I'm honestly not sure. Only other thing I can think of is maybe nitrous carts, but I don't think so. Which tells you how obscure a term it is, given I was about as bad a junkie as it gets, and before my ~4 year H addiction, used to trip almost daily on either shrooms, acid or ecstasy (which we always referred to as "rolls," "E," or "X," if in pill-form, and "molly" if powder/pure mdma). Maybe it's a common street term in a different country?
Enron had great ideas from good people, destroyed by those only looking for yearly bonuses, promotions, and ultimately fake profits. Same story as every other company who fell from grace.
What has not been fully discussed is DOJ's Andrew Weissmann's role in the suicides of many at Enron.
Didn't Enron's failure also have something to do with the fact that California and it's power grid is a complete basket case? I read the book many years ago.
Our problem is that we can’t produce enough power (or at least we couldn’t) so we had to buy it on the open market. The grid didn’t have much to do with it, it was the power generation infrastructure itself. Thanks to the enviros we can’t get any new power plants built.
Enron exploited that by shutting down plants for maintenance during peak hours so rates went up by orders of magnitude instead of a few cents. People’s electric bills jumped from $300 to $1500/mo.
That’s also why solar is so huge, it was the only thing PG&E could get approved. Of course our grid wasn’t designed for large amounts of localized solar power fed back into the grid, which has opened up a whole other can of worms.
Amazon was also one of those companies. Didn't turn a profit for over a decade, but they managed to survive long enough until they were finally able to figure out how to make a profit
I used to work for Worldcom for 2 years. Bernie stole 3.8 billion
Dot com boom was a fake joke

Enron did ok in California. California screwed themselves with a shitty deregulation plan.
