Goldman is said to look like “a [kosher] slaughterhouse” this morning. Apparently LevFin has been hit hard, with the focus, as of now, on VPs and admin. No “big names” have been told to pack up their staplers yet, but they may actually be praying to be given the boot– we’re told “there will basically be no bonuses this year,* especially at senior levels.”
*This could very well be relative to year’s past, but you never know. They’ve got to come up with the scratch for the mozzarella stick sculpture somehow.

First to be not fired. Bitches.
LevFin?! those bitches are my pets! I say PIK toggle, they wag their tale, I say no covenants, they go fetch…
Really grew to like them over the last 3 years.
Wednesday is always a good layoff day.
huh…
They will get phat packages to walk away, thats ridiculpus to think otherwise. Prob a year sverance, long enough to get right back in the game
Goldman is now the Grinch that stole Chanukah!
Also a fantastic day to get fired – gives you time to ramp up for a serious demolition derby over the weekend!
Oooh..what a boy wouldn’t do for a 1 year full comp severance package!
@6 comrade, that was funny.
I demand one month’s severance for every night of Chanukah! (Plus vacation and sick days ofcourse).
I guess Blankie wants to get it over with now – the obligatory 10% cut for show and all. Someone said the Hebe vs. Goy cull would be about 10:1 ?
The fresh blood that runs down the gutters today will be rinsed and gone by Hannukah

Dos McDonald’s accept pitch books in an interview?
Seriously, no sympathy whatsoever for you arrogant GS fucksteins. Call Obama, maybe he’s got a job for you @ The Treasury with Baldie, if HE lasts, that is.
@ 13 & 14
back in the cage, please.
Oy Vey..Now Goldman Sachs is for shit! And I loved the chicken salad in their cafeteria!!
I’m all fachlempt over this…Oy Gavalt!
This whole economy is Fachakt!
Vaffunculo! Gasparino, get over there now and REPORT. Show us what you GOT on this!
a year? yeah right. expect 3 months.
Gas Bag…..WHAT DO YA GOT????????
NOTHING AS USUAL I SUPPOSE!!
14 never even got invited to an interview with his bushleague college degree and and a GPA of 3.3
All the banks could smell that you’re a weak pussy from miles away….
@20 are you still employed?
I’ve generally found that the people who talk down to other people re: getting interviews, lack of pedigree and/or low GPAs are typically useless sociopath suits whose parents should have taught them the value of hard work.
@21
Ive already asked you nicely…
please get back in your cage.
90/100/110.
Confirmed.
hahah@23
whats the word on severance?
@ 21…I Concur.
@ 20…Don’t hate the player hate the game!
@23 – ??
Hey when is the election . I can’t wait to rock the vote.
@21 – I concur as well. Word up!
@20 – you are a dickweed. A tumbling, tumbling dickweed.
Goldman has said that everyone who is not laid off today will receive a bonus at year end.
That bonus will consist of not having your ID card deactivated on 12/31/08, continuing to receive your base salary after 12/31/08, and permission to join your remaining colleagues at 85 Broad, 1 NYP, or 30 Hudson for 8-14 hours per day every day Monday-Friday (and Saturday too for those not observing the Sabbath)to embark on a journey in retail banking.
Additional bonuses will be give to eligible employees based on number of deposit accounts opened. These bonuses will be in the form of Toasters for top performers. (Partners will receive microwave ovens in certain circumstances).
OMG. Just found out Obama is a Blood.
Wish I’d known that before I voted for him.
Oh well.
Wow loads of people from bushleague here!
It’s such a nice day that I wish I had a job to quit.
What is up with “progressive whites”? What the fuck does that mean? As a regressive white (more of a translucent), I’m looking forward to higher taxes (if I keep my job), massive deficit spending/inflation, and being discrimated against on my law school application.
Yeah Hyde Park!
Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Time to move on and find another game
Oh Geez Gas Bag and Ratigan talking over each other on CNBC yet again. Why dont these two pussies just have a cat fight already and get it over with???
Two BITCHES!!!
Kind of funny when you think of all the analysts on here posting bonuses only down 20-30% to flat from last year…
talk about misguided…
@37
The situation is fluid.
You think Obama will institute affirmative action for us white folks now that we are the minority??
“…my law school application….” That one cracked me up!! You going to use your Walmart associate “tuition program” to do that? Hahahahahahahaha.
26 = 29 = gay as christmas
@ 41 Don’t unemployment checks come out on Wednesdays…better go get yours quick, I hear the Dept. of Labor is running out of funds.
@42
I wouldn’t recognize an unemployment check even if it was stapled to your ugly face
@40 It is called unsecured debt financing… Secondary market is on fire for this stuff…
@43
I guess they do direct deposit at DOL now. Modern technology is amzing huh!
Schadenfraude?

Bess the Layoffs coverage on here is seriously lacking these days. Better step it up a notch!
@48- wtf are you talking about? there’s layoffs news basically ever day. douche.
zzzzzzz
@49 – the layoffs coverage is based on Gas Bags breaking the story that’s pretty pathetic.
As for your selection of verbage “douche”…Juvenille at best.
Well, I suppose we will see an influx of commenters since via the layoffs the ban on GS employees on here has been lifted! Welcome comrades!
Karma is catching up like Death in Final Destination 1, 2 & 3.
Did Goldman really block Deal Breaker??
@51- really? b/c charlie’s story from yesterday the cuts at gs would happen “this week.” he also did not discuss which groups would be affected. Did you not know that? Don’t bother responding, just slink back to your teller’s station.
@ 53… LOL that was a good one!
@54- no. you can read db from gs, you just can’t comment (they’ve blocked employees from commenting on other sites as well).
@55 Everybody knows Wednesdays are the preferred day for Layoffs, followed by Mondays as the runner up.
Just step it up a notch be one step ahead of Gas Bag!!
@58- you are truly a moron. Everyone (incl) db, is ahead of Gas Bag.
OK will GS lose a little influence during an O administration?
@59 No need for name calling. Unless it’s directed at Gass Bag that is.
When will Ratigan get on and say that the credit markets are open since LIBOR has fallen?
I had a #4 from McDonald’s this morning…it was really really good.
So how long before Bama forces hedge funds to register and be subject to over regulation?
@45 you know since you are in IT! Cranky little bitch.
62 – How long before Ratigan blows Gas Bag on the air?
@65 – You file clerks really look up to us IT guys don’t you…you think we are omnipotent.
@67 too IT, didn’t respond
@67, Try vialis dude.
67 – I feel dirty from reading a comment by someone from IT. Like i had sex with a really cheap ugly hooker….
@69 Is that how you file clerks try to boost your manliness?
i hate rick santelli
@70 Thats a feeling you ex-Bear guys should be used to!
Children, children – come inside now, recess is over.
Hey 42/45/67/73
DB is for finance pro’s not IT lowlifes. Go to some hackers forum where you can cry about how your avatar gets more pussy then you
ROFLMAO “DB is for finance pros” thats a good one.
More like unemployed 1st year associates with way too much time on their hands hanging out in their living room in sweatpants barefoot waiting for a job offer.
@76! hey… I’m wearing slippers, don’t make assumptions
@77 Sorry buddy, I hope they are the warm fuzzy king, winter is approaching.
@76 – You nailed it, trust me..
I apologize for the cliche, but rainmakers will always find ways to make it rain, and companies will always retain their rainmakers.
I’m guessing those of you who are pissed off and on edge, realize that you aren’t rainmakers, but instead overpaid and overworked excel and ppt application users.
the only thing dead on the street is the role filled by crap VPs, Associates, and Analysts who have been over-compensated for some other person’s work. I’m sure your parents and family friends will once again help you get another job.
good luck to all.
79=76
can you also give yourself a blowjob?
hey look, there’s a penny on the floor!!
@120 – F_ck you pal!!!!
lol
@142 – why don’t you get laid? looks like you need to try some viagra…..hahahahaha. i’m so funny!

re: @21
I’ve been in the business too long. The idea of being called a sociopath actually feels like a compliment to me now.
This just in:
Among the people slaughtered in Goldman’s LevFin today was Richie Fuld, Dick Fuld’s son and ’07 Middlebury graduate. He started as an anallyst last year in Goldman’s LevFin department.
Isn’t this beautiful or what? Dick Fuld & Richie Fuld Jr. both lose their jobs on the same day? Beautiful!!!
Now there will be two Fulds in the family to pick up unemployment checks.
Fuck the Fulds.

@20 I bet your boss thinks about you in the same condescending way
@89 god damn you sound like crybaby.. Can you sympathise with underachievers, are you one as well?
Get you balls reattached.
I like to live by the rule ‘do to others as you like them to do to you’
Hopefully someday you’ll realize that you don’t need to pose or put up a façade at all.
By the way, I don’t care if anyone thinks that I don’t have balls or that I’m an underachiever.
I don’t care what anyone thinks about me at all. It’s very liberating.
I think being knocked down and standing up afterwards a couple of times does that to one.
Nevertheless, I wish you all the best in all your endeavours.
I live by the rule ‘live and let die’
goodbye now, best of luck.
@88 Yeah, I don’t think the Fulds are in need of govt unemployment checks.

88 There were some pics of young Richie floating around here for about 15 minutes that came from his facebook profile. He looked like he know how to party.
Hey, I’m new…what are you guys talking about?
