Want A Free iPad?

Get a job at JPMorgan.

JPMorgan, the second-largest U.S. lender by assets behind Bank of America, will distribute iPads free of charge to all associates in its global investment banking division, the Nov. 24 e-mail shows. Employees will get to keep the device as long as they remain at the unit until the pilot program ends on May 1, 2011.

    Thats nothing. I hear associates at UBS in their global investment banking division will get free Etch-A-Sketches. Oddly enough, the employees will still have to pay for their own monthly data plan to use them….

    JPM: Have an iPad on us, and throw that bling aroun’ dawg!

    GS: This will be your salary plus disc. bonus. Unless you totally washout, you’ll be running at least 500M within a few years, but don’t tell a soul or we will squeeze your head in a vise until your eyeballs hit the ceiling.

    A: Same reason I don’t use a tampon.

    “As a small child, my parents took me to a performance at the Gotham Opera house. Afraid of some bat-like aspects of the performance, my parents and I left the show early.
    In a dark alley near the Opera, a bunch of UBS bankers pulled out a gun (yes, just one) and started harassing my parents for their money and jewelry. In the ensuing fiasco, the UBS guys shot my parents down and ran off with their stuff, forcing me to grow up an orphan, raised only by my English butler Alfred and the controlling equity stake of my father’s multi-billion dollar corporation.

    This is why I hate UBS.”
