From here on out you’ll have to figure out what is and isn’t considered inappropriate touching on your own.* Apparently Thursday will be the last day at the House of Mack for at least a handful of employees in the homosapien resources department (particularly those focusing on recruiting).
*For those unsure, perhaps we can start a list below of what’s a-okay and what’s frowned upon. First up– sex with the cleaning lady on your desk. Does this fly with Mr. Mack?

    What do you mean I am being let go? I have an online degree in child psychology. Who is going to tell all of the new hires they are really important and we care about them?

    Can you get with the cleaning lady if you give her a cashmere sweater?

    this could mean back to the days of the good ol’ boys now that there won’t be anyone to tell the bankers (a) what’s appropriate to wear to the office (b) what a “hostile” work environment entails and (c) who to call if “a” or “b” occurs…damn you mack the knife!
    @6 – dude, one too many porn movies. were you touched inappropriately as a child?

    @6, I think you are looking for a snuff blog site, not finance…I know the two are easily confused?!?

    @11 you free-spender you. She’s probably an illegal. Just tell her you won’t report to the INS and bend her over the desk.

    Hopefully they can find some group just as useless to place the hot HR chicks.

    Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon… you know, I’ve worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time.

  25. Posted by guest | April 21, 2009 at 6:42 PM

    @20, are you one of those gay dudes that work down in HR?
    I hope this is one of the HR episodes, where they tell one person to do a majority of the dirty work, leading her to believe she’s safe, but then they cut her at the end of the bloodbath…classic!

  26. Posted by guest | April 21, 2009 at 6:48 PM

    @25- way to call @20 gay because you didn’t get the obvious sarcasm.

    But I keep seeing wideclops on this site.
    Why all the talk about girls with eyes far apart? Is Britney Spears a wideclop? How about Pedro Martinez?

  33. Posted by guest | April 21, 2009 at 10:13 PM

    One thing that I dont understand is the scenario in IT.
    100s of TCS folks sit at our offices in LN, NY, TK and HK.
    Why cant the all work from Pune or Chennai in this tough environment. Sure we do have good phone/Voip connections JAM etc.
    I need an answer otherwise, I will start calling out names here.
    BTW. the folks in Toronto have been sent home which is a good start but the TCS purging cant stop for us to return to profitability

    Bess, where the hell is the cannoli picture? House of Mack, layoffs and cannoli. You’ve been here long enough to know the drill, hell you created it.
    I want my fucken cannoli pic.

    The Origins of Wideclops:
    Back in November, BL posted a standard layoffs post about Morgan Stanley. She said that there was an HR girl in fuck me boots on the fourth floor, and if you saw her coming your way, it was probably bad news. Among the commenters from MS, they identified the girl, and started posting pics of her. Her eyes were extremely far apart. Enter: Wideclops.
    It was also the Wideclops that was instrumental in getting DB banned at MS, which was apparently worried about a sexual harassment case (since it’d been MS employees who’d tipped BL about the girl, and had described her footwear to be of the slut-variety).

    @37 “you created it.” exactly. she makes the rules around here. so STFU.

    you sound like a humble servant. maybe one day bess will let you lick her fuck me boots, while you beg her ‘treat me like the worthless pig that i am…’

  42. Posted by guest | April 22, 2009 at 6:19 AM

    @35
    Probably some wankers from an outsourcing company. Good riddance when they’re all finally given the boot.
    Fucking “would you like some Chai” no-hoppers.

    many of those TCS geeks could outmath and probably out trade most of the pampered fuckwits on dealing desks right now.

    Right. That’s why they’re on the IT helpdesk? Maybe they should be in India running their own trading desks.
    Fail! Back to Bangalore with you.

    Need to start laying off more investment bankers…at every bank. People aren’t doing shit around here. Trading is bringing in the revenues.

    #43 – TCS must have instructed you how to change your kerberos many times, you are one of those dinosaurs at MS especially if you thnk they can run a trading desk.
    They cannot even reset a secure id passsword correctly a la a useless expense to the company.
