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...

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?

does anyone know how many cups first year associates in the janitorial arts group are getting?
Posted by guest , Jan 13, 2009 9:26AM
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.
Posted by guest , Jan 13, 2009 9:26AM
Any news on 1st year Associate cup numbers?

Cups will be useful for dipping those donuts.

Posted by guest , Jan 13, 2009 9:42AM
I think it's a disgrace that the AmerillWide logo isn't printed on those polystyrene cups. Just shocking.

I'm a first year analyst, they're giving us one cup and a tin of skoal pouches.
Posted by guest , Jan 13, 2009 9:48AM

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.

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.
