Which is presumably why the bank (allegedly) offered female ex-Merrill Lynch brokers lower retention bonuses than their male counterparts, which the girls have taken issue with, and filed suit over today. On the bright side, and I think this is the point Ken Lewis should stress, it means not every last cent of taxpayer money was being blown on getting employees to stick it out.

What a bunch of dicks!
How may ex-Merrill Lynch female brokers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
@2 That’s not funny!
Now, there’s a claim that’s not subject to arbitration.
Kenny, prepare to declare a MAC.
(It’s a very simple task, so…) None. “It’s a man’s job.”
Three: one to take out the old one, one to sweep up the broken glass and
another to phone her boyfriend to put the new one in.
You don’t pay women to stay, you pay them to leave!

Maybe they get lower bonuses because they have a brain a third the size of a man’s. That’s science.

@AB nice
This is exactly WHY it makes good business sense to hire women. They cost 10% less for the same work.
Women blow.
I swear to christ.
How the effe does a pure performance based retention bonus get construed as sexism? I have been there less than 10 years, I’m a good performer. Received a retention, but it wasn’t as good as the retention that someone who is a good performer who has been there for 20 years.
Should I sue for ageism?
Should be about 30% less.
@17 don’t think you factored in the cost of tampon dispensers in the ladies rooms

@16 – Don’t get me wrong, I love the ladies, but they don’t belong in banking.
Dear Mr. Bandersnatch, womens’ brains are not 1/3 the size of men’s, they are smaller, but as in the computer chip world, smaller just means more efficient, faster, and just plain better and smarter!!!!! Plus our brains aren’t ruled by our vaginas like men’s being ruled by their dicks.

@ 22- Why don’t women belong in banking?
@9- Hate to break it to you but, women are smarter then men
@35,@36, et al clueless posters.
Are you so lacking in male companionship that you’ve never been forced to watch Anchorman 7,000 times?
Way to kill a thread you clueless lesbians/celibates.
