And this is exactly why i immediately lose all respect for any company that choses goldman as their handler in an ipo.

All respect? Really? And immediately?

If one inconsequential event like this warrants such an extreme reaction respect will be in short supply everywhere.

I don't know if it's inconsequential. But Goldman definitely has a well deserved tarnished reputation, especially in recent news of their actions that involved the 1MDB fund.

Slack chose Goldman to lead the direct listing process. They also hired a Goldman senior research analyst to lead the investor relations arm, and likely to then move him up quickly in the finance group to higher exec positions.
