southsider2k5 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I can finally leave this damned sinking ship behind!!! I got myself a big raise and a move back onto the trading floor. Plus the company I work for is in a whole world of s*** for having a CEO setting up shell companies to funnel money to himself. Now they might be restating earnings all of the way back to 1998. WHAT A WEEK FOR ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the ones who are up creek without a paddle right now. That statement hits really close to home -- I almost took a job with them (Well -- technically Lind Waldock) about a year ago but ultimately passed it up because the base salary just wasn't enough -- the potential to make a boat load of money was there but I couldn't take the gamble at the time. It is actually pretty scary that 1 person can have such a huge impact on such a huge company -- reminds me a little bit of the Nick Leeson fiasco (though on a lesser scale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
