Reuters and Bloomberg have confirmed what we told you eight-ish hours ago: Bearpont Morgan Mutual will be laying off about ten percent of its investment bank staff. Carry on.

wideclops, have mercy you meat-hooked fuck-me-boot-wearing all-seeing bottom-feeding HR subhuman.
I thought they were referencing db with that retread. wtf? btw, while this may seem “in-line” with the other banks (% reductions), let’s not forget the cleansing that occured after the bear purger…so the numbs are actually well north of their peers.
what happened at MS today?
@1 amazing…
what happened at MS today?
the only way to kill a wideclops is jump her together with a buddy and ram your respective cocks in that massive, far apart eyes!
But you would have to find a way to sneak up on that all seeing gunt face…
IT CANT BE DONe
Fuck I’m never gonna get another job. That JPM gig was my best lead…

@6 may god have mercy on your soul you sick S.O.B.
guys, guys. everyone knows it takes at least three to take out a wideclops. two, on the periphery, to get her eyes locked, then one from the front, or back, to go in for the kill. pretty sure it’s gonna take a wooden stake.
truth is, no one’s ever gotten close enough to know for sure…
BUT THEm EYE LAZZZRRZ…. you need an intricate mirror set up
Just more unpatriotic negativity from liberals who hate America, and the troops.
well on the bright side, this should cut down on the soviet-style lines at the starbucks on park and 48th
@14:
Sir, there is nothing unpatriotic about killing wideclops…seses
@16 by taking out the wideclops?
17- 14 here i defs wanna see this widecops payced YO. it is the most patriotic cause there is
lines at starbucks were cut down in summer ’07 when the starbucks opened up inside 270
@18 was referring to the 10% cut in the original post before comments got hijacked by kill-the-wideclops gangstas.
fo realz?

When will it all end? A few unfortunates at JP Morgan already went through the fun that was the collapse of Bear … and they were the lucky ones.

@35…thats all ya got??????!!!!!!
Bloomberg is reporting that BNP Paribas is cutting bonuses by more than 70% in the investment bank. Apparently “most employees will have their bonuses reduced, more people than in the past will receive no bonus at all, and even the ‘best performers may be affected.’”
what happened at MS today?
more cuts today at ms in operations and it…anyone know what happened to the nyfidcoll people??
@ 39, excuse the ignore but what is fidcoll?
1st year indudstrials VP numbers?
Associate numbers?
@37 – what are the 1st year numbers for cheese eating surrender monkeys?
- Willy
#37 “best performers may be affected”? Are those the employees that busted their asses and put in a 28 hour work week? Mon Dieu!
Don’t worry, socialism is coming!
nyfidcoll is the lazy collat group at ms
nyfidcoll is the lazy collat group at ms
#43 – hey those Frogs put in 80+ hour workweeks if you count the 50 hours they spend in the breezeway smoking cigarettes.
When they took over Bear Stearns, Steve Black promised no ethnic cleansing….ooops he lied. “heritage Bear” will take the brunt of the blow mainly because they are not right for the JPM culture. If Jamie Dimon can’t be treasury secy, may as well wack some ex-Bear people while he pisses on the carcass of the once mighty Citi.
@48, you are a complete moron, please shut up and don’t ever express you worthless opinion again.
@48, JPM culture? What culture? Go stand in line… loser
@27:
just found this blog yesterday, and between your coupling reference and the sudden vocabulary growth, (wideclops, etc.) i have to say i’m impressed here.
cross assets structuring and marketing desk was slashed in half
for those of you who think Bear staff will be first out the door, note: 1) Bear salaries are much lower than JPM, so firing Bear people has less impact, and more importantly 2) Bear staff are guaranteed the Bear redundancy package until 30th May next year. the package was ridiculously generous! i wont worry till 1st june….
for those of you saying bear staff will be first out the door, note the following: 1) bear salaries are much lower than jpm, so firing bear people has less impact, and 2) bear staff are guaranteed the bear redundancy package till 30th may (anniversary of the deal)…for me that means 10 months salary plus half of 2007 bonus….i think theyll live with the culture difference when they can pay jpm staff one week for every year! i wont worry till 1st june

It was a bear hunt and a bear bath today. Just look at those who went. JPM DID get rid of the bears today. So much for the “good guy” image JPM tried to sell itself as earlier this year.
@ 53 and 54 – are you sure about the one year guarantee of the Bear redundancy package? Where was this explained? I don’t remember hearing that when I signed on with JPM.
When it is all over few Bear Stearns people will survive. They identify us in meetings, just like the Nazis identified the jews before rounding them up to be slaughtered.
