As many of you might’ve heard, earlier today, the New York City public school system decided to cancel school for tomorrow, due to the reports of snow and the fact that every seems to be losing his/her shit over a little powder. These people included the employees of Morgan Stanley, who’ve apparently been spending the afternoon trying to get out of coming into the office tomorrow. In fairness, the bank had kind of given people an opening by sending out a note earlier that everyone should “expect delays in your business travel, so plan accordingly.” Gorman and Co, however, have had enough of this “I’m commuting all the way from downtown,” “I’m a pussy,” etc. crap, and blasted out the following just now: “The Firm will be open for business throughtout this weather event.” So, please plan accordingly, by growing a pair. This is not DC.

you didn’t have to be so mean about it.
Tough talk from a company that’s afraid of a saucy young minx with a blog.
@bess- preach. I grew up in Buffalo. this is a fucking dusting.
@1 preacha telling the truth and it hurts!
whatever I’m coming from westchester, it could be dangerous.

reminds me of the douche at Bloomberg that gave a lengthy speech about hiking in over downed trees, deep snow, and deserted streets even though the whole of the east coast was totally paralyzed. 4 hours to get to the office seems totally reasonable. Pity a cop didn’t arrest his ass for deliberately placing himself in harms way. fucker. probably the same cock sucker that got owned by Bess earlier in the day.
@6 how does this remind you of that?
Just make sure when you’re trudging to work tomorrow you bring your umbrellas, wear wing-tips (pumps for the girls), and avoid slush showers from the friendly cabbies.
Good luck out there. It sounds cataclysmic. I hope Obama or Bloomberg will address the citizens’ concerns and provide helpful advice.
” throughtout(sic) this weather event.”
Fucking idiots at MS need to learn how to spell
okay, but is morgan stanley going to provide day care? because if the kids are staying home, and the parents have to be at work, WHO’S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE DAMN KIDS?
That’s why people want the day off. Not being pussies.
Anyone that’s afraid of a little white powder has no business working in Finance.
@10 let it out
@10 simple: don’t have kids or work for a different firm that (choke) cares for its people. Its not rocket science.

spelling mistake, Bess
throughout not throughtout
maybe you should invite me to your office and I can give your beautiful head a nice massage. get circulation going again.
MS loses talent left and right due to their being in Westchester. You might argue that the real talent is in the city but when MDs resign by the week over the commute, there must be something to that inglorious commute.
Oh, and Gorman…that stuff right after the quotes could have easily been said by him; it is his style.
Just testing to see if the blizzard is impairing my ability to post a comment
Just posting this to see if the blizzard is affecting the ability to post comments.

@17/18,
No, you were always a double posting r*tard.
@19 ftw
@20 if you look closely you’ll see it’s not a double post. Still retarded, though.
True story: Posting from Motorola Droid phones produces double posts. The DB IT curry eaters still haven’t fixed this.
-not 17/18
@22 buy a new phone and examine your motives
Will this blizzard affect my ability to invest $1,000 in a new hedge fund run by the sexy newest attorny-cum-money manager?
@24 – not in the slightest. Our head trader is sleeping on a cot near the Equities Arbitrage Desk tonight and we will be working tomorrow.
