Default How much are you worth?? SLAP

Four years out of college and my roomate just received $80k in Merrill Lynch stock as a staying bonus. A few of his peers left to go to UBS and all received just under one half million for taking their books with them. How much are you worth?... about a dollar forty in per diem.

tell your friend he owes you a nice steak/lobster dinner since your tax dollars probably helped pay those bonuses....

Considering that Merrill hasn't been traded since the end of the year and they were purchased by the equally greedy crooks at Bank of America, I would say that his "stock" is pretty much worthless.

I call BS. Flamebait. Unless he had a friend that went to an Ivy League school or likewise.

You don't have to go to an Ivy League school to get a high-end job in the financial sector. Hell, graduates of the finest business schools have been trashing businesses & shareholder worth for decades now...

Life is full of choices and the grass is aways greener over the septic tank. That's why there's a section for those leaving the industry.
