Layoffs are said to have gone down over at BAC’s investment bank earlier, with group COO’s bearing the brunt of the cuts. Ken Lewis feels your pain, and sorry he wasn’t there to say good-bye.

    How many COO’s can a firm have?

    How does WARN work in NY? If I’ve been at my job 5 years and they pay 3 weeks for each yr, shouldn’t I receive whatever the WARN payment is (2, 3 months) and 15 weeks?

    COO are the worst secret of IBD
    Generally chunky undersexed HBS’ettes or closeted graying eunuchs who couldnt bring in dollar $ #1, but nevertheless get paid like 4th yr associates.
    Its amazing in the cut throat world of IB that such waste exists, much less parades around like they have power…but are usually bitch slapped

    @7 – have you even interviewed at an investment bank? I’m not sure you are familar with the role of a COO – last I checked, they weren’t b-school types. you better check yourself before you wreck yourself…

    are all you people retarded and never worked in an investment bank? group COOs? at first I was like, what the hell is that? there is no such thing. I think you mean the business managers. that’s what they’re called. they’re mostly glorified secretaries (They actually started as secretaries and then worked their way up; once in a blue moon you will see a failed banker in that job). who the fuck cares about these people – if you talk about them on dealbreaker might as well talk about number of admin laid off. why the fuck would be care.

    @9/10- actually that’s not what group COO refers to at BAC, but thanks for posting your retarded comment twice, as though anyone would care.

    Did you hear what happened to Marianne McCarthy? She was being stalked by some guy…Dennis had to change her telephone number and everything. They are not giving out her new number to anyone. The police are involved.

  17. Posted by guest | September 5, 2009 at 10:06 AM

    I did hear she was being stalked by someone. Is that why she has been out? I know her divorce got pretty ugly. That is too bad. I hope she is okay.

    McCarthy and her team work down at Merrill now. It is permanent. She was happy about it. I hope she is okay after the stalker incident. She will be missed at BofA!

    holy %^&* I just met Marianne McCarthy today. That chix is so smart. I cannot believe how hot she is.

  29. Posted by guest | October 13, 2009 at 12:29 PM

    I know it should be a crime to look like McCarthy and be that bright and on top of it. Have you ever seen her at the gym?

    I want to marry that chick Marianne Mccarthy smart and gorgeous lady she is!

  32. Posted by guest | November 4, 2009 at 12:41 PM

    I just met Marianne McCarthy and I cannot believe you guys are writing about her on this blog. We are in the same CMA group. She is extremely bright. I gather I do not have to dictate how beautiful she is…Cheers…

    How do I get in touch with McCarthy? She has new phone numbers and the bank will not give them out internally or externally and Brent is on vacation.

    That Marianne McCarthy has always been gorgeous. I have known her since she was in her early 20′s. Have to admit that she is one sharp lady too. She is extremely bright.

  36. Posted by guest | November 14, 2009 at 12:57 PM

    I know Marianne for many years to. We went to grad school together. It is a shame that she married that jerk she was dating. He used to show up at our school all the time. Very rude and controlling dude

  37. Posted by guest | November 14, 2009 at 1:00 PM

    Post #36-McCarthy divorced that jerk finally. She is much happier. I do not think he took it well, but she is doing extremely well in her career at ML and BofA. Always has been a very smart and motivated chick.

  38. Posted by guest | November 19, 2009 at 6:21 AM

    That Marianne McCarthy is one bright chick. We worked at DB together. I cannot get over how smart she is. I guess that is why she was a VP at DB and she was like only 28

    Moynihan is Marianne McCarthy’s Uncle. Her mom is his sister. That makes her the CEO’s niece. Brains must run in that family.

    Our new Managing Director Managing Director Marianne McCarthy is hot
