Layoffs Watch ’08: UBS’s War On Wharton

By Bess Levin

I don’t want to upset you right before the weekend, but apparently “three-quarters of the Penn grads employed by UBS (1-3 years) have been laid off.” Not really that surprising considering the Swiss bank’s history but deeply disturbing nonetheless.

    highly suspect IT department, posting comments is still a little sketchy. perhaps db should hire some of the back office folks from ms/ubs/merrill/bsc/jpm to get the systems in order.

    Graduating from Amherst practically guarantees she needs to strip for money.

    I believe it.
    Sometimes graduates from some school hire people from the same place. 1-3 years do not make too much difference , most probably they were getting copies and bringing coffe (and being paid for that). UBS needs to cut costs otherwise is gonna sink (more I mean if that is possible)

    i think the joke was aimed at the liberal arts nature of the school…hopefully.

    amherst chicks are either lesbos or expert at trolling for ivy league guys with good jobs. these chicks may not dance in strip clubs, but they are expert in pole riding.

    Ok jokes aside, does anyone have real numbers on UBS? How did the LevFin team fare?
