Yesterday we mentioned the harrowing, life-shattering news that Bloomberg had removed the function that allowed you to see how many people were clicking your profile, and checking your shit out, as confirmed by a Help Desk representative. Today, it’s back. Not that we’re not thrilled for those you who enjoy the idea of people watching you, but we’re just wondering why the sudden about face?
Did enough important and influential financial services employees make a stink? Did someone threaten to cancel all of his firm’s subscriptions and burn the terminals in the parking lot if this wasn’t “fixed”? Did you? Please let us know at this time. (I actually have a more sinister— but possibly accurate— theory, but am waiting on more info.)
Update: And now it’s back down again. WTF is going on, Mr. Mayor? You can’t mess with people’s heads like this.

Looks like a certain now infamous Deutsche Bank employee is taking the day off. If you're reading from home, just thought I'd let you know you're at 11 hits so far.

@1 Don't think the receptionist has Bloomberg access.

@4 pls try to keep up with the backstory here before commenting.

@3: 21 hits now. We're not helping.
I think they only put this up in the last hour or two... Don't think it was up when I was looking at someone's profile earlier.
Aww... I'm only at 1 :(

Their explanation was ridiculous in the first place - if they have most viewed profiles they clearly were still tracking hits. Common sense took hold for once.

I always have zero hits because it doesn't count when you view your own profile.

UPDATE: The hits feature appears to have been removed again within the last 5 minutes. Am I wrong?

@20 shut your filthy whore mouth.
Posted by BSD , Oct 29, 2009 11:02AM
#19 you are right - it JUST disappeared. Before it did Chipmunk Cheeks was at 76 hits.
Posted by guest , Oct 29, 2009 11:03AM
Does she seriously have "Yachting" listed as a hobby on her bberg profile?
Posted by BSD , Oct 29, 2009 11:04AM
If she gets a few more hits she will beat out Madoff and Agassi for a spot on the Top 20...

@32 I'm pretty sure that if you haven't figured it out yourself, you probably shouldn't know.

@24 yachting is shrimping with a glass of chardonnay.

what the fuck did @39 say?

BESS, WHAT FUNCTION?
TELL US WHERE IS THAT? BLOOMBERG.COM?

WTF???
Posted by Becky Boot Fan , Oct 29, 2009 2:24PM
oh...poor reference to an Emerald Nuts commercial circa 2005. Two guys in the middle of a store shouting, "...My name is Norman and I am great, my name is Norman and I am much better than you!..." Egomanical Normans...EN...Emerald Nuts....?...???
...ah hell. Missed trade.
I'll try to save it now.
"It moved."

Posted by guest , Oct 29, 2009 3:27PM
@24, yes, she had put "yachting" under "hobbies" in her Bloomberg profile. She's removed it now though.
Posted by BSD , Oct 29, 2009 3:30PM
@39 = Jeffries VP or UBS 3rd year

Cute banker at Deutsche Bank? Who is she? Put her name on theDanzaTap. They won't delete it. (Or know what the hell it means)
Posted by guest , Oct 29, 2009 6:31PM
Take the first name from #33 and the capitalized name in #34 in that order and that is her full name...i went to penn with her and she was the worst...she is a) not hot, actually looks inbred and b) a complete stuckup b*tch that thinks shes gods gift to everyone even though she looks as described in a...that is all...these two posts have really made a lot of kids that had to suffer through her for 4 years very happy
Posted by wcburrs87 , Oct 29, 2009 7:54PM
She's also been removed from the MVP list. Clearly Bloomberg made some major mistakes here. Doesn't surprise me considering how much of a waste that system actually is.

i was in this girl's grad class at db. in her defense, she's a pretty nice person. sending out the bbg convo was not the best judgment call but doesn't warrant these kind of asinine attacks, which i think are more reflective of the character of the tools that work in this business.
Posted by guest , Oct 31, 2009 5:38AM
She's a vain little twit who prances and preen much to the irritation of her colleagues.
Posted by guest , Oct 31, 2009 9:41PM
For those of you who have never met her, you'd be surprised at how fat and ugly she actually is. Also, she is a FAKE BLONDE, her roots are dark brown.
Posted by guest , Oct 31, 2009 9:48PM
@46, you are quite right. She needs major botox injections. Every time she moves her eyebrows, her forehead produces more rolls than a French bakery...and I thought my grandma had it bad. As for her body figure, liposuction might be her only solution at this point. Al. Wet, even name brand clothing can't do any magic for you.
Posted by guest , Oct 31, 2009 10:13PM
Ok everyone, it's not her fault she's got bad genes...although if she wants to survive in Manhattan, she should seriously consider plastic surgery. BUT, what makes her a target is actually her personality and character: she's too ugly to be vain, too stupid to be on Wall Street, and creates more drama than a whole season of Jerry Springer. It's no wonder she is still single and desperate.
Posted by guest , Oct 31, 2009 11:05PM
She gives Wharton a bad rep, no one from the class of 07 liked her. Karma is a bitch Al Wet, you need to really get over yourself!
Posted by guest , Nov 01, 2009 4:33AM
@44, it seems to be the trend on this post and the last that most people who seemed to have met her have given her similar reviews. People do tend to spill their true feelings about a person when it's anonymous. That says a lot about her character, don't you think?
Posted by guest , Nov 04, 2009 2:14PM
@46: She and I were on the same dating service and I thought her picture was really cute, so we scheduled a date. My first impression of her when I walked into the lounge was *WTF!* And I think she was overdue for a bleaching touch up as her black roots were quite obvious.
Posted by guest , Nov 06, 2009 3:41AM
holy crap! I can't believe this many people hate her, this is hilarious! made my week!
Posted by guest , Nov 16, 2009 1:32PM
Looks like she crawled out of her hole. I'm surprised she's still employed.
Posted by guest , Nov 16, 2009 1:37PM
I wonder how many cocks she had to suck to be allowed back to work.
Posted by guest , Nov 16, 2009 1:50PM
Every cock at the bank and then some judging by the way she looks.
