Things not to say when you are about to lose your job

September 14th, 2008 by Chris

As our banking and capital markets system encounters its next milestone, namely the apparent imminent collapse of Lehman Brothers, I found the quote below (from this article) to be particularly choice:

One investment-banking analyst spoke with confidence about his job security.

“In banking, we’re pretty sure we’re going to get bought - and if it’s by Bank of America, they’re going to value bankers highly,” he said. “They’ve got C level bankers, and Lehman has A bankers.”

Good thing that investment banks don’t have to merge seniority lists…
