Yesterday it was suggested that bonuses at JPMorgan will be roughly equal to 2009. Apparently that’s only if you’re lucky.

We’re told that the expectation bonuses will be flat year on year was “optimistic.” Apparently they will be “down about 10 – 15% across the board in IB.”

    They sought advice from their coal traders.

    Good.

    They should put more $$$ aside for new analyst class pictures.

    That sound you hear is the gentle sobbing of mistresses and coke dealers. Happy Holidays!

    you probably were (or just had no idea), but for some reason thought leaving that comment made you sound clever? other than that I’m not sure.

    I am intimately experienced with the tightwad ways of the HOD, a senior exec once admitted in a town hall that they know they pay less than other banks on the street. Hence my comment, ok there Hoss?

    I can meet you at Minetta’s tonight. Me and a gaggle of former HODers will gangbang your face to let you know it’s us.

    Holiday party competition idea: Compete with a coworker as to how many times you can legitimately work “Women are the rake, man, the fuckin’ rake” into as many conversations as possible. Honor system rules. Loser has to walk around all day with an actual rake.

    It’s JP we’re talking about here, not Goldman. Closest anyone has to a mistress is a regular reservation with a “masseuse” at West Garden Spa.
