Yeah, it’s not an investment bank, and yeah, it’s not in New York (nor is it a spectacularly failing fund in CT) but guess what, people? If you hadn’t noticed, we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

Subject: Eaton Vance Holiday Party, December 4, 2008
Importance: High
Good Afternoon:
The purpose of this note is to let all employees know that we will be having a “scaled back” version of our Annual Holiday Party on Thursday, December 4th at the Langham Hotel.
The party will be on the second floor of the hotel from 5 – 7:30 pm.
We hope to see you there!
B.Y.O.B.
Over at 7:30? Ouch.
…and pleas pick up your drink vouchers at HR.
damn it feels good to be buyside/retail…
are there any banks holding xmas parties this year?
Langham’s alright…not the best hotel in Beantown.
Yeah, two hours is pretty lame. Why even bother going…
@6, are you always such a douche?
@ #2 — yeah, wtf is with that? suck down two glasses of pinot-grigio-from-a-box and a coupla ritz cracker canapes and then a boot out the door?
@8…only when I dig out your mother’s old one.
Eaton Vance? What next…Alliance Bernstein? Wow we have officially and stunningly bottomed.
I work in the financial capital of the world, Washington, DC.
What is New York? Never heard of CT.
We’re still having our Govt Sponsored
holiday party. What’s wrong?
How about beer and wings with John Daly at Hooter’s?
Wusses. My firm is having a blowout Xmas party this year. Free Orange Nehi for everybody!
bess…now that’s investigative journalism…but wow your really scrapping the bottom of the barrels on this one…

One day in 1996,….
That was the kind of man Niederhoffer was. He had heard of Taleb’s growing reputation in the esoteric field of options trading.
Options..esoteric..1996?…are these people (either Niederhoffer, Gladwell..or both)serious? Clowns

There’s always a Christmas party when you work at The Post Office!
Must be nice
@11
says the unemployed
@15- was that supposed to be funny, repeating the post already said?
@ 11 and 15:
Look at a price chart of EV vs. the (remaining) i-banks since Goldman’s IPO and then tell me who is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
“There’s work at the Post Office!”
Ah, one of the greatest and most underrated films ever.

Oh yeah, no layoffs either.
Scaled back? WTF! No strippers? No free paid up ladies of the evening? Why even bother? God I miss Drexel! Now those boys knew how to throw a bash. Not that you snot-nosed young’ns have any idea what a real, kick-ass, barbarians at the gate, Wall Street at its bestest excess-type party is. 5-7:30? That’s pathetic!

@13, while “tacky, yet delightfully unrefined” that scenario could lead to the best night of your life.
Starting at 5? Seems more like a dastardly plan to not have anyone go to the party, since the real employees (even in a horribly down economy) aren’t going to be out of the office by 7:30 party or no.
24 – If you are such an old school “hitter,” why are you here with us? Did you once read about it?
@ 28: I here for the chicks. What’s your excuse? Bess – I’m available!
