The marginally more successful, slightly less tax-evading Swiss bank in town announced yesterday that the Alternative Investments holiday party has not been canceled, so high-fives all around! BUT. It has been postponed. The soiree, which will take place at Cipriani 23rd Street, has been rescheduled from December 11 to January 14. Obviously, this move (to get the space on the cheap, not report the expense for the fourth quarter, etc) pains Brady Dougan, seen at left. No word yet on what’s a poppin’ with regard to the investment bank’s partay, though there is certainly cause for celebration for the CS IB’ers who are being allowed to keep their jobs.

Any Beige Book comedy?
Too Dougan, didnt read
Does not announcing a Christmas party = joining the war on Christmas? If so, I think there would be a lot more banks on the list.
tishman speyer party 2nite @ the tree lighting if anyone gives a rat’s ass
@G ‘n T: no. the default is to have a party, so no announcement = it’s on. if you know of any firms taking the ‘we just wont say anything’ approach, please share.
Was wideclops invited?
@Bess/6, isn’t that how they fired the stapler guy in Office Space? They didn’t say anything, they just “fixed the problem” and stopped writing checks. I think that would be a good, confrontation-free approach.

It’s time for an oldfashioned wideclopse party: Everyone brings a wideclopse as a date and whoever brought the most severe wideclopse wins. Then, for happy ending, everyone puts their pink slip in a bowl, from which the wideclopses take one. The wideclopse that picked your pink slip is yours for after the party.
Enjoy!
Hey, a party is a party!
Well, at least E to the C will be at the CS party in January, that’s enough reason to celebrate; maybe catch an upskirt after the punch kicks in?

CS is postponing the party because terminations in Alternative Investments have been delayed until just after the New Year’s. CS pays out bonuses in mid-Feb, so early Jan is the perfect time to prune people. Laying people off just before Christmas would be non-Christian.

@ 14,
Well one thing is for sure, if anyone makes claims that the finance industry is heartless they should try heavy industry like forest products; before I came to finance, I was an engineer that watched my firm shut an office down (overnight via a bailiff’s notice affixed to the door) on December 14th. They did however, keep the Christmas party on the schedule for the 20th. Nice eh?

@21/22 No I took it straight from the Torah, maybe go a bit more to sunday school to polish up your hebrew.
Ok, hate to show my green-ness, but what is the whole “wideclopse” thing referencing??
@24
Fail.
