Today at Citigroup, in accordance with Vikram’s promise to shareholders that the company will begin taking steps toward realizing the enormous potential of the C, a member of the fixed income group was paid 3 grand to execute “the reverse bowl cut,” according to sources. To claim the money, he must sport the haircut proudly on the trading floor for a full calendar week. We’re told the money is being donated to charity.
Pictures after the jump.
A Citi middle office guy donating money to charity? His job was probably on the line… Reverse bowl or you’re out!
probably originally intended to keep the money; but once he became famous for this, realized he had to do so to aviod ridicule.
Anyone know if this was on the taxable FI floor or munis?
389G 4th Floor, around 2pm

Who are these jackasses? I can tell you with certainity this crap is not tolerated at GS or LEH. Think there might be connection between this behavior and performance???
Stuff like that is done all the time at MER & WB. Yes, WB has trading floors…
Warner Bros the cartoon company has trading floors…?
Whah! GS and LEH don’t tolerate this nonsense! Whah! Way to lump Lehman and GS together. I forgot Lehman outperformed the rest of the street… If you don’t appreciate a good spoof dopey, probably want to stop visiting the site.
“I can tell you with certainity this crap is not tolerated at GS or LEH.”
I didnt know HR visits this site as well.
GS story from late-80s: two traders, one M one F. Both do triathalongs. M makes a bet with the F re finish time of next weekends tri. Stakes: fancy racing bike (whatever 80s equivalent was of a Litespeed, Serotta – maybe $2,600 at the time) and the winner gets to hoist it on top of their trading station for the day. F won. M delivered the bike, F displayed it for all to see. HR didn’t fire anybody. Have things really changed?
