    You guys (and gals) are pathetic. Wake up. Wall Street and The City are not government agencies providing guaranteed jobs. We are probably the worst bast*rds you ever met in your life.
    You know why, we are consumate money grubbing folks. Please stop complaining, you junior analaysts and trading assitants are all scr*wed.
    But thanks for coming out, we have some lovely parting gifts for you.
    cheers!

    DB is basically about as dead as I’ve ever seen it.
    Why are you so heartless and cold, Jorge? Somebody bring back the dudes who ran the Salomon trading desk – swore like crazy, threw phones, but generally cared about their people at some level.

    not to sound too stalker-ish, but why is that when I click on the topic “Bess Levin”, only one post pops up, but there should be 12 entries. where are bios on this site?
    also, do bess’ parents know about how often she gets proposed to (not in the marriage sense, although maybe…) on this site? can we have a little section called “Ask Bess” and possibly be rewarded with partial (or full) pix that we can piece together using some sort of sophisticated software package or something.

    @ Cincanatus, pretty sure the image of which you’re speaking (from going private) isn’t actually bess…

    Rule Number 8 worked just fine for Monica.
    DealBreaker can work two ways.
    YOU outline only one.
    10 weeks is 10 weeks.
    If the opportunity arises, you should rise to the occasion.
