The C.E.O. Job

Congratulations to Brian Moynihan, who will replace Ken Lewis as CEO of Bank of America on January 1st. BAC was unsuccessful in hiring a “star industry executive” for the top job because of pay restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.

The move draws to a close what is probably the executive search from hell. They needed to find someone to end the drama so that the bank can get back to regular business, but at the same time I am surprised by their choice. You will have a young and untested CEO running a major commercial bank in the U.S.
Quotation from Tony Plath, UNC/Charlotte

What you have is a payoff when there’s poor performance. But that’s the nature of contracts. There’s such a tremendous risk these days with being a CEO of a major corporation.
Quotation from Charles Peck

[It's surreal, however, when taxpayer monies are needed to complete the contract. Best Wishes, Mr. Moynihan ~Sera]

Dear Employee

Dear Employee

“Your paycheck will be delivered via Thought Transference. Please ensure you have a valid connection with the Human Resource Department or your salary could be delayed indefinitely.”

When you have too much month for your paycheck, then what you need to do is realize that there is abundance all around you and focus on the abundance and not your lack and as night follows day, abundance will come to you.
Quotation from Sydney Madwed

Frontier Checkpoint: No End in Sight

Frontier Checkpoint: No End in Sight

Things are bad. I’ve had to take a pay cut, but for now I still have a job. Almost 1 out of 10 Californians seeking work are currently unemployed. It’s projected to get worse. Someone on TV argued that America’s priority should be to “fix the mortgage mess,” but I think it’s jobs, jobs, jobs. Without jobs, people can’t pay their rents, mortgages or pay their bills.

Yellen said consumer spending had been stopped in its tracks as American households have hunkered down and acted to boost their savings in response to spiraling unemployment and a “staggering” $10 trillion loss of household wealth.
Janet Yellen, President of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank, as reported by Reuters

I Wish to God I never saw you, Mag.
I wish you never quit your job and came along with me.
I wish we never bought a license and a white dress
For you to get married in the day we ran off to a minister
And told him we would love each other and take care of each other
Always and always long as the sun and the rain lasts anywhere.
Yes, I’m wishing now you lived somewhere away from here
And I was a bum on the bumpers a thousand miles away dead broke.
I wish the kids had never come
And rent and coal and clothes to pay for
And a grocery man calling for cash,
Every day cash for beans and prunes.
I wish to God I never saw you, Mag.
I wish to God the kids had never come.
Poem by Carl Sandburg, Mag

This Tastes Like Hot Chocolate

Citigroup insisted Friday that it is financially sound. A week after announcing 52,000 employee layoffs, Citigroup accepted a $306 BILLION dollar government rescue yesterday. They also cut the dividend and agreed to restrictions on executive pay. Sorry Citigroup, but nobody believes that was really hot chocolate you’ve been serving your customers, employees and shareholders.

If life gives you a bowl of lemons, go find an annoying guy with paper cuts.
