    Hey, if Ken Lewis paid 5x tangible book for those cups, they must be special. After all, he needs something high-quality to catch all that drool.

    I think it’s a disgrace that the AmerillWide logo isn’t printed on those polystyrene cups. Just shocking.

    We need to determine the NFL champion like college; ie Charlotte Panthers VS New Jersey Giants. This playoff format for the pros is too fair. As in banking, Charlotte wins.

    The cups are not bonuses. We hide them to trade for office supplies. I’m practically a kingpin, I have five boxes of file folders, three reams of copy paper, six pens, and a slab of peanut brittle…

    Hey, this is HR. Stop hoarding the cups. We’re still 10,000 short for our exit interview packages.

    What kind of journalism is this? This photo is staged. Those are not BofA cups. This is a preposterous fraud.

    IB has been hoarding these cups for their new teller jobs. Give a penny, take a penny.

    Management must be hoarding them for the bonus pool.

    anyway the cups are only there to distract you from seeing the shit trodden all over the carpet

    As I highly-paid consultant delivering on deliverables at BofA, I find it well beneath my dignity to even discuss the cup to mug transition. The coffee is well below par for a true coffee aficionado, anyway.
    I am not sure how one can work in a bank and lack the class to enjoy fine dining at the wonderful, numerous locales.
    Relax and enjoy life, after all you are not cleaning squat toilets in Turkey, right?
