Ownership society pockets uncle Warren's $5bil check and turns around and bends over 30K workers for an extra $5bil per year.

How did I do?

 

[waggy]

don't worry. all 30k jobs are customer service so it won't effect BoA at all.

I wonder how much the BoA donates to Bobo, the Post Turtle?

wtf does that mean?

Obamacare!

 

[a777pilot]

Obamacare!

Close enough.

Apparently that's 10% of their workforce. They can always hire them back in India... I hear everyone and their mother has/is working on an MBA there.

 

[Spikesoldier]

yesss

30,000 more unemployment beneficiaries!

How did I do?

Did Buffet buy his shares in the secondary market or did BOFA float a new offering just for him? If it was in the secondary market, technically BOFA did not profit from that investment at all.

So, here's the general catch-22: BOFA announces layoffs of 30,000 people and they're going to get reamed on this board for contributing to unemployment, etc but if they do nothing they've got 30,000 unnecessary employees they have to pay for so they raise fees and get reamed on this board for raising banking fees to cover costs.

wtf does that [Bobo, the Post Turtle] mean?

"Bobo" is a nickname given to the US president from a well known gorilla from language studies since the 1960s. A common colloquial name now for an ape. Obama is black.

"Post turtle" is another colloquialism for those who get to where they are without the ability to reach that position.

A troll is a troll. A racist troll is one who applies both.

ohh i was wondering that myself.

Ironically, I just got an email from the engineering department entitled: "Technology Careers at Bank of America: Information Session"

 

[Thump553]

I wonder how many branches they will close. The branch in my town, and the people that work there, are about the only remaining reason I maintain accounts there.

No.

Bobo, is from the Kenyan language. It means "the anointed one". and post turtle.......

Thank you. I love posting that poster.

 

[Macamus Prime]

wtf does that mean?

You see, it's like a garbage truck that was placed on top of the Empire State Building. No one is quite sure how it got there, it doesn't belong up there, but when it hit the ground, and they pulled the driver's body from the twisted, burning wreck.

,... IT LOOKED LIKE THIS!!

I'm sure none of those losing their jobs feel this way, but BoA is rather bloated right now and really should be cutting staff.

Example: Through the flurry of mergers carried out by ex-CEO Lewis, BoA is currently operating 63 data centres. They're aiming to consolidate that down to single digits in the next few years.

I forget - was the acquisition of Countrywide at the behest of the government, or did BoA screw themselves with that one?

 

[Whiskey16]

No.

Bobo, is from the Kenyan language. It means "the anointed one".

You lie. You have acknowldged my past correction upon your false deflection. Your consistent posts against Muslims and blacks define you as a vile racist, so why run away upon this point? In July I provided a correction that you acknlowledged:

Not true at all. Which Kenyan language? Which among nearly 70? First evidence of a777pilot's bs. 'Bobo" as a word is certainly not part of the dominant dialects of Swahili nor local English. The closest a colleague (and native of Kenya...) next to me can come up is the Swahili word of 'bopa' that means 'depressing.' 'Bobo' is an existing surname within Kenya and in terms of Africa, a region/people around Burkina Faso.

Prime consideration is that the common use of 'Bobo' in the USA is that as a common colloquialism upon the first name applied to chimps [a name given to a famous gorilla of language studies in the 1960s]. Its transition in USA English may historically be sourced back to the slave trade when numerous people of the Bobo became forced into bondage in the Americas. 'Bobo' as applied to Barack Obama is because the man is black and Bobo is a racially targetted label to demean this black man.

a777pilot, you are a troll who retards discussion of any topic you enter into.

 

[ayabe]

All of the big banks will be cutting staff, they have no idea what these fraud cases are going to hold them responsible for.

But hey, at least the movers and shakers that came up with this crap got to keep their bonuses, some tellers and service reps can find another line of work.

The correct answer is Yes and Yes.

 

[senseamp]

That's wonderful, $5B/year more for the "job creators." Let's give them more tax cuts, so they can build on this.

 

[a777pilot]

You are a liar. Please stop that false deflection. Your consistent posts against Muslims and blacks define you as a vile racist, so why run away upon this point? In July I provided a correction that you acknlowledged:

ROFLMAO!

You are just too funny.

In your world anyone that is not 100% behind and in favor of President Obama is a racist. That's a strange definition of the word and degrades and demeans those that actually fought racism in the country back in the day....1960's.

If not supporting a failed President makes me a racist then so be it. I also voted against Nixon, Carter and Clinton. Yes, I hate white stupid presidents.

Bobo, is from the Kenyan language, anyway that is what I read on the internet and we all know that everything on the internet is true.

So, phfffffffffffffffffffts!

OMG!*







* Obama Must Go!

 

[Lemon law]

As A777 pilot wonders who elected Obama, try 53+% of the American people.

Now because the congress won't let Obama get anything done, Obama's popularity is down to 40%. But congressional popularity ratings are about 18%.

Maybe America wil elect a generic Republican, but when the rating of specific republicans are tested, they all hoover at about 18% popular.

So maybe we should talk about A777 pilot the post turtle, Anandtech will let anyone be a post turtle, but A777 Pilot the post turtle does not know what is talking about as he posts, and A777Pilot the post turtle is the only single person who put himself where he is.

I thought you got banned. Was nice without you here. You are a bigot.
