Oh hey, just messin' with ya about those job cuts from the House of Dimon earlier. Though Bearpont Morgan Mutual said this morning that cuts from the WaMu acquisition would clock in at about 12,000 total, that number was apparently revised to 14,000 this afternoon. NBD.

What are the ranks like at Wamu?
How many of those 14,000 are bank tellers? Call center operators? Tech?
What are Wamu's non-branch groups?

@1- if you were smart, you'd understand that the cuts will not just come from WaMu. But you're not, so oh well.

Maybe they'll cut SOME bank tellers, but if I were them the bank tellers would not be my worry. After all, a bank teller brings in no revenue but can only lose the bank a maximum of about $14.00 an hour, give or take. That's pretty good compared with the damage some of the i-banking and trading groups are capable of.

Being a bank teller is the new killin' it.

Apparently only 2,000 of the cuts will be Investment Banking terrorists:
The second-largest U.S. bank on Thursday said it now expects to shed as many 12,000 jobs from integrating the former Washington Mutual Inc (WAMUQ.PK), up from 9,200 announced in December. It also expects to cut up to 2,000 investment banking jobs.

I wonder how many JPM guys were transferred into WAMU just so they could be cut now?

WAMU is the worst name for a bank/serious business ever. It ryhmes with Shamu, the killer, but gentle whale. And it reminds me of something you'd call a super fat chick.
