If You Make A Smart-Aleck Comment About Vikram Pandit, Does He Not Apply Lipstick And Add Your Name To His ‘To Kill List’?

By Bess Levin

Moreover, Mr. Pandit seems uncomfortable as the leader of one of the nation’s biggest banks. He shuns most interviews, and he is prone to overreact to criticism no matter the source, be it The Wall Street Journal or a minor blog. Reports suggest Mr. Pandit is behind Mr. Mayo’s ban, a charge Citigroup denies. [WSJ]

    Bess, if this is true, you should make it your personal goal to get a personal, Vikram-autographed, hissy fit letter.

    Having spent the evening w Mr. Pandit at his place discussing his fish tank and eating Indian takeout, I can confirm this story has a hint of truth.

    This is what happens when you deny a man his Zen Garden.

    I find applying a facial bronzing gel before making additions to my “People to Kill” list to be much more satisfying.

    Perhaps Vikram should put all his energy into producing a series of videos to educate the masses on the nature of investment banking and hedge funds as Deutsche Bank has done:

    Afterall, happy employees = happy bank.

    If anyone plans on making an ethnically insensitive comment, I’ll examine your motives for you for a small fee.

    Only if you’re willing to examine them for 23hrs a day, at 1% the cost of US wages, and ship them back with a stamp on the bottom that reads “examined at dealbreaker”.

    Deal?

    I admire you as much for your dignified and graceful comportment as for your encyclopedic knowledge of cured meats.
