Confidential To JPMorgan Monkeys: Go Home!

Posted by Bess Levin, Jul 08, 2008, 1:14pm

The most important thing Bearpont Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon said on record to Charlie Rose? "I hate it when I hear about kids working through the night." Take this tacit approval of you moseying on out of the office at 5 and run with it.

He didn't have an issue with them working through the night, it is expected/required. He doesn't want to hear about it, just like I hate it when my kids started yammering about how much homework they have.

investor cluzo - so I'm told.

guest @ 1:28 - I see no reason to do further research. I'm satisfied with my interpretation of the quote.

You guys are pussies. Work is when you do something that could cause you to lose a fingertip.

@2:02 - exactly why does having kids make someone a loser? does that mean your parents are losers too? okay, I think it's nap time go to your corner...

He said that he hates hearing that kids are working through the night on meaningless work, not working through the night in general.

Posted by guest, Jul 08, 2008 2:22PM

yes, but, 2:20, but first year excel work IS meaningless.

We don't know if the baby is his.

@2:22

While the work is extremely tedious and, in the grand scheme of things, well, as ungrand as it gets, it is a necessary evil to make sure the data is right, the model is right, the assumptions are at least remotely tested, blah blah blah. Hence, having the relationships to consumate a deal may drive flow, but if you don't have the foundation, you've got no deal (or just a bad deal)

there are three of 'em, so odds are that most of my selfish genes are through to the next round of the playoffs.
