    Please post your resume in window.
    We will review your qualifications and call you back if we are interested. At present we are reviewing the resumes of your colleagues, including John Thain.
    Should we need any help in screwing up this company we are aware that there are plenty of Merrill employees available besides yourself who will add little value at a high salary.
    Sincerely,
    Recruiting

    Sign email and internet usage monitoring have gone overboard.

    Is it really that bad that people want to go work at an insurance company? Really? I would rather have a hotdog stand downstairs.

    I’m still not sure why they handed out 4 pieces of paper and a sharpie as a bonus this year.

    You sure that’s not A-Rod’s apartment window?

    I guess Ken Lewis wasn’t allowed to decorate his office as nice as Thain’s. Those blinds couldn’t have crossed 5 figures. No way.

    @7 – Nice!

    amazing tag.
    you know, having a hot dog stand would probably be more interesting than looking at lame pitchbooks all day of investments that require so much leverage they’re almost laughable.

    Good thing BofA has what 1.1 million sqft of space in that new tower to fill up with what, 3-5k employees by like 2010 or else they’ve gotta pay back liberty bonds (or whatever) they got to finance part of it.

    Barry Badrinath: It’s $10 for a BJ, $12 for an HJ, $15 for a ZJ…
    Landfill: [Interrupting] What’s a ZJ?
    Barry Badrinath: If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.
    Steve “Fink” Finklestein: [Trying to persuade Landfill] I’ve got $4.

    Whats better than one shitty bonus package? TWO shitty bonus packages!

    Thank You @15
    I enjoyed the movie Beerfest. If you can see it on DVD for $3 I would give it the finger, I mean thumbs up.
    Landfill is my hero. If only Landfill or his cousin could be the Secretary of Treasury.

    Dear Mr. Mozilo:
    We have received your requests, via email, fax, courier, smoke signal, and semaphore flag.
    While your qualifications are impressive, unfortunately we do not have a position available for you at this time, as we do not offer employee “base tan” privileges during our austerity program. We will keep your resume on file and notify you if anything changes.
    Sincerely,
    MetLife Human Resources

    was that sign made with the last of the contraband styrofoam coffee cups?

  20. Posted by guest | February 12, 2009 at 10:47 AM

    @5, don’t hate, cuntlip. You don’t know I work in insurance. Got a high 5-figure bonus and I’m not getting laid-off.

  21. Posted by guest | February 12, 2009 at 10:52 AM

    @20, Ed Gardner is that you?

  22. Posted by guest | February 12, 2009 at 11:01 AM

    @20 – Door to door or are you the guy who keeps calling my house? I’ve told you a million times, PLEASE TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST!
    By the way, commission isn’t a bonus…that IS your salary.

  23. Posted by venturedouch | February 12, 2009 at 11:02 AM

    @20 Robert Henrikson, is that you?

    Immediately after sign is spotted:
    BofA Employee: Well, what are my orders… sir?
    K.L: Close all the exits. Hold your witness while we decide what to do.
    Yes, sir.
    KL: – Is Yuri here?
    - So it would seem.
    - This is splendid work, Tom.
    - I’ve had all the exits closed.
    Well, why don’t we empty the building
    and have everybody file past this man?
    KL: The place would be swarming
    with TV cameramen.
    We’ll take the witness round
    room by room.
    KL: – It’s the largest building in the world.
    - But the only way we’ll get any privacy. I’ll see to it.
    KL: Find that SignMaker!!!
    Starring Gene Hackman as KL and Kevin Costner as Yuri
