    the fascists are taking over. theyve instituted swipe OUTs on the turnstyles at DB, for example, so they can track how late people stay and how often they leave during the day.

    They learn’t that from the peeps at Bloomberg. Everyone in the firm can see whether you are in or out of the building and when you left … sucked …

    To be consistent with the Merrill Lynch Principles, you’ll have to find a way to spend government money on a private custom dealbreaker Gulfstream.

    Wells Fargo blocked DealBreaker on Tuesday for the whole day. And then unblocked it on Wednesday.

    @35. Stairways and fire exits still had card swipes. And security guards watching the door.

    Don’t worry, all the talent at ML will simply walk away after they realize that their internet perquisites have been taken away. Remember, at the end of the day, this is a people business, and it is about who has the best talent. I thought ML understood this!

    If ML spent as much time blocking stupid financial strategies as they are trying with websites, they’d still be a respectable firm.

  44. Posted by guest | February 6, 2009 at 4:46 PM

    @45
    News Flash: ML exists only in your mind. That’s one of the reasons why that bull is rotting in a field somewhere in CT.

    @44, there’s no wow in it either

    The best part about getting laid off from Merrill is freedom to read dealbreaker whenever I want AND the opportunity to apply for a job at the new entity – BAC/ML. Those fuckers actually sent out a notice telling me to apply for a job AFTER laying me off.

    @51&52- Don’t forget the part about sitting in your underwear all day and watching porn.

    A laid off ML dude goes to the Doc. He tells the Doc, “My penis has turned orange in color…”. The Doc takes a look and says, “Wow…have you been in a fight?” ML dude says no. Doc asks, “That could be a jaundice…have you any liver problems in the past?” ML dude says no. Doc says, “tell me about you daily routine…” ML dude said he got laid off and , for right now, to save money, instead of going out he usually just grabs a bag of Cheetos and rents a porn movie and stays at home.

    No wonder Merryl Lynch is a loser. Why would it be sold to BOA if they have principle?

    hnmmmm. Merrill. so glad we got cash. BAC? not so much!

  58. Posted by guest | February 7, 2009 at 6:01 AM

    ML front office folks can read DB on Bloomberg so no need to worry…

  59. Posted by guest | February 7, 2009 at 7:46 AM

    DB needs a mobile site so ML-ers can get the gossip on personal devices instead of going through Google’s translation service.

  61. Posted by guest | February 7, 2009 at 12:40 PM

    Was not blocked in London yesterday, but is now. Am pretty fucking furious. To shield our eyes from anything criticising Lewis? How the fuck does that improve morale? Just proves how fux0red we really are. Working in ML is like living in North Korea right now.

    Where is Muffie? Don’t you people realize that Fortunoff’s a jewelry store has declared bankruptcy the week before St. Valentine’s day?

    dealbreaker was blocked at (old) Wachovia, but is now back online BUT you can’t post any inane comments.

    In all seriousness, shouldn’t DB try NOT to get blocked? Are they paying you guys less for ads with each company that blocks you?

    Isn’t this blog about the “private sector”?

  68. Posted by guest | February 8, 2009 at 6:22 PM

    The site is blocked at BAC as well

  69. Posted by guest | February 9, 2009 at 12:50 PM

    um, they blocked dealbreaker about a year ago.

  70. Posted by guest | February 9, 2009 at 12:55 PM

    correction: in the NY office, I recall them blocking the site about a year ago. Don’t know if they put it back up, but I remember having to use a proxy to access.

  71. Posted by guest | February 9, 2009 at 7:05 PM

    Yes, it was put back up quite soon after.
