The country’s biggest bank needs a CEO, and given how well things have gone for Bank of America in recent years, some people think that some fresh blood is in order. The fresh blood, by contrast, seems to disagree.
The latest to withdraw his name from consideration for the worst job on Wall Street is Robert Kelly, who currently leads Bank of New York Mellon. Approached about moving back to his old Charlotte haunts to take the reins of old BofA, ex-Wachovia chief Bobby apparently couldn’t wait to tell the approachers to go find another sucker.
Mr. Kelly has shown no interest in the job, said a person familiar with his thinking.
Welcome to the bandwagon, Kelly. You don’t have what it takes to fill Ken Lewis’ shoes. Your stupid firm wasted no time in returning its government bailout dollars. Ken Lewis is still swimming in BofA’s $45 billion TARP pool.
Who’s diving into the deep end when the big guy calls it quits at the end of the year?

A massive balance sheet that needs to be reorganized, TARP capital limiting your pay, mortgaging servicing operations visable from space, and a completely fractured internal culture between BofA and Legacy ML folks.
Where do I sign up?

What does this mean?

@4 you know exactly what it means, but you're a douche with no life so you leave comments like that.

Bess, have you posted this to the Dealbreaker career center? Couldn't hurt. After all one of the fringe benefits of the postition is to get a sharp stick up the ass every so often from none other.

I didn't understand why I could comprehend the writing and it wasn't by Bess, so I changed into my Pope Halloween outfit and am now sitting back at my desk.

Greg just changed his pen name so he could start fresh. I was wondering why he didn't do this sooner.

Who the fuck is this Shazar dude? Nobody references "the big guy," unless they're making note of something I did. It's called etiquette.

There's a shitheel out there somewhere that's willing to take over from that shitheel Ken Lewis.

Greg just changed his name to Shazar. He has always wanted to be called Shazar.

Shit. Now I'm beginning to feel bad about Greg. Kinda like the time when I was 12 and Artie Valenti and I were throwing rocks at this kid Sheldon who lived down the street. We thought he was a pussy mama's boy and we didn't like him. So throwing rocks from my mom's rock garden seemed like a good way to show our disaproval. Sheldon started running from the incomming fire, and he had gotten almost to his front door when I beaned him on the forehead from about 30 yards. He fell like a tree. He got up crying like a baby and bleeding like Dusty Rhodes in a Texas cage match. Needless to say Artie and I ran to my house with little concern as to Sheldon's bloody condition. He had a good idea that it was Artie and me chuckin' rocks, and ikely wouldn't have said anything on account of the fact Artie used to let us watch his older sister Leslie take showers from a peephole in his bathroom door.

Jesus Fucking Christ. We lose that douche Greg, and we get a no talent moron named Jon? You have to be kidding me.
