All of IBD at Morgan Stanley just got free cannolis at 1585, on John Mack’s dime. The subject line alerting the troops to the impending injection of high fructose corn syrup? “Surprise dessert treat.” This is what we’re talking about, people. Treat your employees like they’re valuable members of a team (specializing in Italian pastries) and I guarantee you it’ll get results.

    Who said bonuses were going to be bad?

  21. Posted by guest | October 22, 2008 at 3:41 PM

    And later this week they’ll be getting something else that’s tubular and full of “sfacim’” all right…

    Rumor is that Mack funded the Canolis by selling a 20% equity stake because the pastry store wouldn’t face MS as a credit counterparty.

    Anyone here see Van Wilder? That’s a whole lotta John Mack man-goo in those cannolis

    I was thinking more along the lines of fattening a calf before you slaughter it.

    This is absolutely ground-breaking and earth-shattering reporting.

    Cannoli is plural. It doesn’t need an “s”.

  30. Posted by guest | October 22, 2008 at 6:36 PM

    @31 once again guest is giving out bad information.
    The correct plural spellings are as follows.
    Cannolis for two but more than two Cannolis’ -but you must own them-.
    Datas -no restrictions-.
    Mooses for two but more than two Moosies -ownership is not needed as is the case with Cannolies.

    Thanks for the huge pay packet. Sorry about the shitty risk management, lack of bonuses and all that worthless stock we gave you instead of cash.
    Have a Cannoli!
