Or just Christmas for legacy Merrill employees? We just received the following tip:
No Christmas parties this year for ML offices.
And, obviously, I don’t want to believe it. Merrill did this last year, but that’s because, you know of the pesky matter of billion in losses. But now they should be all good in the hood and primed to partay, no? And why make the decision so soon? Even if the idea was being considered, why not string people on just a little longer? Does Feinberg have a role in this? Surely there’s a logical explanation, and if has to do with canceling Xmas in legacy ML offices so funds could be consolidated for Ken Lewis’s holiday party/send-off extravaganza, we have no problem with that.
fust bitches.
Citi doesn’t have any money left to conduct layoffs and pay severance. That’s worse than not having holiday parties.
fust bitches.
Feinberg is a fink and
***wait for it***
***wait for it***
a shitheel.
@2 they dont have monye left to conduct layoffs? so you get to keep your job?
@5 – Laid off last year, at BAC now. Big pimpin.
A couple of cases of Boones can’t cost that much. C’mon KL share with the Merrill guys.
Just so that you finance people are aware, in our next thesaurus, we’re adding an additional, new adjective for “legacy”. It will be… “shitty”.

@3 you’re an idiot. @1 is brillant. BITD Merrill had a broker whose deeply Catholic wife would only put out for kids. He kept a string of tuna available at all times. One year when he was feeling particularly master of the universe he brought the girlfriend to the Christmas party. All the other wives’ heads exploded. Shortly thereafter our wussy boss inserted a wife only rule unless legally single.
it’s true, my kegger will be off the hook, and you’re all invited, except you, Hank.

Charlotte’s one bar closes at 9pm and citywide curfew is at 10pm – so why bother.
A forced congregation of people you don’t want to hang out with guised under the shell of a company that it once was? Yeah, gotta be a shame not having to go to that…
@11 we’re holding it on the floor, bitch.

could we get a side by side of KL and the Grinch? I believe there will be quite a resemblance…
No Christmas party, and a few weeks later the anniversary of the merger? ML employees needs some serious sad trombone action.
@12
Fuckin’ Amen, brother, fuckin’ Amen!
God bless @9 and @12….awesome posts! Well played.
Poor ML, now only a BAML.
@9 – Bang On!
Boones vs. MD 20/20 – Discuss!
Should be as heated a debate as CFA v. MBA

No Xmas party? Fuck, those parties haven’t been the same since the eighties anyway.
Dick Bove looks like Santa in Miracle on 42 Street.
“I got dis source, he says to me, he says, ‘Charlie, you wouldn’t believe the blow at Bernie’s Christmas Party every year. You ever seen Goodfellas?’ I says to him, ‘Have I ever seen Goodfellas?’ Da fucking guy.”
