Morgan Stanley made a Hunger Games parody a year ago - and now it's been leaked
The 10-minute film depicts a dog-eat-dog world at the leading investment firm
Everyone knows it's cut-throat on Wall Street – but a leaked joke entertainment video for employees paints a disturbing (and cringe-worthy) picture of life at a leading investment firm.
The Morgan Stanley Hunger Games parody depicts a working environment where it literally is every individual for themselves.
The general tone indicates that employees at Morgan Stanley are dispensable and executives out of touch. For example, when Peeta suggests to Katniss that they both kill themselves, she replies: "That's sweet, but that's silly. They can't spare me. They'll have somebody at your desk on Monday."
Shelley O'Connor, head of field management, who oversees 16,000 financial advisors, is among those who appear in the video.
The video was reportedly axed following discussions that included President of the firm, Greg Fleming. A spokesperson for Morgan Stanley would not comment on the film when approached by Investment News, but said it had never been released.
