It’s not an outbreak. Yet. (Kidding, you know the banks had their people vaccinated before the plebes.) On another note, it’s sort of unclear how this happened, as Citi took pains earlier this year to teach its employees how to wash their hands in an effort to avoid “accidentally” wiping everyone out and closing up shop.
One of the TMT banker on the 37th floor of the Greenwich Street building has been identified as having H1N1 and was asked to leave just now.

@1 um what?
@1 insolvent
What kind of redundancy package did they give him? If he’s terminated for swine flu, did they have to give him fair warning in advance?
I saw Stevie Cohen running out of the back door wearing a cloak and making “oink oink” noises.
@4 pretty sure “asked to leave” meant go home til you’re not infected. they can’t fire people for this.
4- dude how bad is your sense of humor? Is english your 1st language? wtf?
Shouldn’t the red/blue flashing light thingies be appropriate for this thread?
@6/7 – No, it’s Citi, he actually got fired for that.
…or did he?
Speaking of C, anyone notice they stripped “Citigroup Center” from the signs on 53rd/54th & Lex/3rd?

2nd @8 that graphic would really be OK right about now.
Wash, wash, wash your hands.
Wash them nice and clean.
Wash them on top, wash them on bottom and fingers in between.
Glad there is no “beaver flu”.

Those offices are now Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. Yes, I know they are still officing Citibankers but MSSB will own Citi shortly anyway. They have capital and the sChitIi’s stock and market cap is such that it is pocket change for the Mackster/Gormansky.
