The Interns Are Here!


In case you missed it, the NYSE’s summer interns rang the opening bell today. Adorable, etc, etc, etc, and a good excuse for us to talk fresh meat. What’s the deal with everyone’s child laborers this year? If you’re working at a government-owned entity, were they offered the gig at a significantly reduced rate? Are they getting actual work to do what with most of the actual employees having been fired? Would you say they’re exuding less cockiness on account of “the economy” or more, since they know you no longer have a BSD with which to slap them into submission? Verbal abuse/looks/freebies– what’s changed? Is management more or less likely to be okay with MD/intern “relationships”? Let’s get into this.

    Do not hire any of these idiots. I have it on good authority that they all belong to a cult that pounds sheep everyday at dawn.

    Bess, I would be fine if you went “meredith whitney on this bitch” and started up your own business blog. Greg sucks and it would be more lucrative for you. Lock it up.

  4. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 10:15 AM

    @3… will be interesting to see just how successful Whitney is on her own… why pay for her research? You already know what she’s going to say. With respect to you comparing Bess to Whitney… I’d like to throw some hot coffee on your face, you prick!

    my group never had an intern before, but instead of filling a vacant position with a full time employee we got one!

    nice to know that bess has such a following among the fags

    @9- it’s a reference to the HBS incident. Try and keep up.

    You know what I like about interns… I keep getting older, they keep staying the same age.

    the interns at JPM are much more busted this year.

    @11 that’s what I like about them too. that and their slappable asses.

    I want to see a picture of the interns at Dealbreaker.

    surely a listing and then find them on facebook. it’d be like a mass stalking

  21. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 10:34 AM

    @18– um, you described the comment @4, which didn’t have anything to do with nyse interns as faggy.

  22. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 10:37 AM

    “surely a listing and then find them on facebook. it’d be like a mass stalking”
    great idea…who will start?

    @18 – So you are from Texas then?

  24. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 10:38 AM

    We got some mba intern that talks and acts like Jeff Spicoli. Probably even dumber. Everyone loves him, of course.

  25. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 10:38 AM

    @21 don’t waste your time with 18… clearly an idiot

    I am a 44 year old intern. Is that, like, normal? My bosses keep telling me so and they are younger than me.

    the interns at SAC have bigger vaginas this year.

    Interns at Jefferies all bleach their anus.

    The interns here are putting up less of a protest when it comes to DVDA than in the past.

    @24, I know that dude

  33. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 10:45 AM

    Again, the middle school counselors in HR have hijacked the hiring process to conform to the quota system. Sad if/when they realize why they were actually hired. Slow Burn. Global Beads.

    @30 Shouldn’t the word be different if it’s anus in the plural? Like “ani”?

    If Greg was my intern I would make him repeatedly throw hot coffee on his face.

    The next intern I see is getting jizz slapped in the face.

  52. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 11:12 AM

    Depends on the woman. There’s no shame in being worked over by the likes of Meredith Whitney.

  53. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 11:17 AM

    Were there originally ten interns and they ate one of them?

  54. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 11:17 AM

    I think the roofies I put in the intern’s coffee are wearing off.

  55. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 11:18 AM

    The guy on the left looks like Sean Hannity. I would do the other two though.

  56. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 11:19 AM

    We had an intern quote “The BOHICA Pattern” one morning in a “around the trade room” discussion. The prop guys set her up for it and she couldn’t figure out why we were all smiling when she said it.

  57. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 11:19 AM

    Make that on the right for the Sean Hannity guy.

  83. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 11:54 AM

    See, you’re what happens when you’re trying to talk to intern people at like a half an hour ago. I dismissed these people as idiots years ago. And now that I’m trying to finally engage them, they have no idea what I’m talking about.
    I dismissed NYSE interns as lunatics about eight months ago, and I seemed to understand the world then. But now either lunatics are in the game. I don’t know where they’re playing. I’ve tried for the last three hours to communicate with NYSE interns on TV, because apparently either I’ve gotten off the bus in Crazytown, but I’m much happier just trying to get them to speak to me in five words or less.

    becky fan@82 what?

  85. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 11:59 AM

    TGFD saw 9 interns and one gray-haired tool in the back.
    WhoTF is he? Barney Frank?(for the lads) or Delaware’s own, Joe Biden?(for the chicks).
    TGFD couldn’t tell which one. The F’n screen’s too small.
    The Guy from Delaware
    p.s. Do those 9 f’n interns get paid or what? Are they selected because of their parents’ connections or what? WoTF knows?

  86. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 12:05 PM

    First, the interns go ass to ass. Then we can get down to business.

  87. Posted by guest | June 17, 2009 at 12:07 PM

    Guest@#83…
    Don’t feel bad. TGFD can’t communicate very well with young people either.
    In the past, I’ve had a tendency to yell at them.
    Now, thanks to DB, TGFD communicates much better with young people.
