Charlie Gasparino: “No one is immune to layoffs…besides Goldman Sachs.”

By

And you know what? I don’t think buddy boy’s drunk or making shit up this time. According to Gasparino, Merrill will start firing employees tomorrow, with the credit and bond departments most at risk. And they may also announce a $10 billion writedown. And the triumphant return of Stan O’Neal. And “Dinosaurs,” in syndication. As that’s the most important piece of information in this post, you can expect that I will elaborate on that later.

      What’s with the new category? What are you being asked to do that you might pull a muscle? I thought I had a theory, briefly, but I don’t think that’s really a muscle. Can you elaborate later?

      Unless the ‘personal friend’ was named Bess Levin, I see no relevance.

      Wow… will be interesting to see what happens outside the credit/bond groups. AKA whether all us bankers are going to lose our jobs. :)

      There’s blood in the streets in the town of Charlotte. BofA and WB are being indiscriminate.
