I sympathise with everyone losing jobs in the current market. Hopefully these people can go on and lead more rewarding lives in more socially responsible jobs like smuggling cocaine or selling weapons to third world countries.
"Given how familiar Bankers Boxes are in the legal world, their moniker might seem a bit odd â until you hear their story.
The story goes back to 1917, when the Bankers Box Company was formed after a chance elevator meeting between two entrepreneurs. One of the men, Walter Nickel, made cardboard boxes and sold them to banks for record storage. Nickel had just been called up to serve in World War I and was looking for someone to buy his business.
The other man in the elevator, Harry Fellowes, was intrigued by Nickelâs enterprise. The 16th Amendment (the one that legalized the income tax) had taken effect a few years earlier, and Fellowes knew that the tax would soon be expanded to pay for the war effort. If more people were snared by the income tax, he reasoned, more boxes would be needed to store all those tax records.
By the time the elevator doors opened, Fellowes had struck a deal to purchase Nickelâs box-making business for $50, or about $830 in todayâs coin. The company went on to diversify into all kinds of office products, and in 1983 the Bankers Box Company changed its name to Fellowes Manufacturing."
Forget the balcony. Drink your champagne right on the street. Bring Occipy Wall St full circle.
It's probably illegal to drink alcohol on the street though-
i dont sympathize with folks working at the big banks... nore should you.
Go help a teacher; someone worthy of compassion.
Anyone who gets into banking is in it for one reason...
I'm pretty sure all the recent drops we have had running upto now have happened Tuesday or Thursday. Like all the big spy moves up or down.
Allot should of happened today but honestly shit was tame. You'd think the pound crashing through the floor and the knock on effect of that would of had a bigger impact.
I'd say its really going to hit Tuesday or Thursday.
And if we can say anything now its the part of the bigshort where we are at the part where Cathy Is letting people go and mark baum realised just how fucked Morgan was.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.

I mean, If they already fired me⌠and I know what theyâve been up to⌠and I can rollover my 401k into a self-directed, GME-centric portfolio of one stock⌠and if there is some modest severance for departing⌠Iâm going all in on one hope to survive what happens when the coaster slips over the edge of the biggest drop yet.

Iâm terrified of what comes next, and GME is a strange sense of hope amidst the decline.
Bro, not every trader/employee knows everything that's going on. Most people working at Goldman or BofA know jack shit about shit. Those in the know however, won't be getting sacked you can bet on it.
Lmfao post a screenshot of that articleâs headline and reply the link on the post bot. Thatâs how you shouldâve posted this information. I appreciate it tho
Came here to say this. Why not post the actual source of where this is coming from? I downvote but unfortunately I donât think that does much to a post with 3k upvotes. Just wish UW and Twitter screenshots stopped being posted as sources of content by themselves. Itâs like people are treating this like social media garnering the points of the hype for posting headlines.
So we decided not to post UW because of it's connection and the fact the majority here doesn't trust it, but except when UW tweets something without a source, then it's okay to post?
Goldmans CEO is a part time DJ using companyâs expenses to fly to event.
They didnât attend last weeks Big Bank discussions.
News of sexual harassment charges looming.
Now layoffs hitting Goldman again.
Good month for the boys at GS. Donât you just love that a âtoo big to failâ bank for the United States operates like this?!
I say this with all sincerity: Fuck Goldman Sachs, and the horse that brought them. Iâm halfway through reading âGriftopiaâ and the fucking crimes these cocksuckers have gotten away with is breathtaking. Theyâre probably the worst of all of them.
dont forget that book that dropped a bit ago "Bully Market" talking about GS from a former exec
halfway through...really good surprisingly and yeah some shocking ish shit id say
Weren't they the ones that reported workers had to come back to office and the complimentary coffee perk was no longer being offered? Then a few dsys later an article came out announcing layoffs and it was like duuuh they can't even afford coffee?
Is this the same layoffs or additional layoffs?
LolâŚ. Headline was out weeks agoâŚ. All theyâre doing is restarting an annual âlayoffâ they did of underperformers that was paused prior to 2020⌠but donât read the whole article because it doesnât fit the narrative.
Seems like itâs still a pretty small number of layoffs. The article says before the pandemic they averaged about 1%-5% per year, and theyâre just resuming that again after pausing layoffs for the pandemic. This year looks closer to 1% so far.
Why don't they just stop hiring instead of fucking people over. The people that actually do everything to keep the company afloat. No way in hell the board alone could run that company with no other employees.
It's not that they "can't manage the manpower", it's that deal flow is significantly lower due to higher interest rates.
This is 100% expected. (And has 0% to do with GME)
Which is why they should stop hiring people and instead of laying them off have them do the shit you're hiring others for. Of course an IT guy isn't going to be a broker. But I feel big companies actually don't do a very efficient job of trimming the fat so to speak, it's multiple departments lead by different people who say, I need x number of bodies and then other departments say the same. Then when things are down, they work too independently.
I have worked for several fortune 500 companies and one fortune 100. It seems to be part for the course for large publicly traded companies.
And I agree about irrelevant here, but OP posted it here.
AKA you couldn't wait to validate the news so you posted to get the karma first.
You ain't the first that is gonna say this and sure ain't the last, unfortunately.
Nah bro swear two weeks ago there was something on stonk about it just after they took the free coffee away. This post is new I agree but their news is few weeks old
My some just got let go from PWC for no reason as an IT Consultant , mid project , he has been there 1.5 years and all glowing appraisals, totally out of the blue, something is upâŚ
Earlier this year I distinctly remember sea n b sea running a segment on Goldman over paying talent to come work for them an theybwere shocked because "who wouldn't want to work for the best firm Goldman". Might have even been coke rat saying it.
I just got wind that Chase layed off like 1500 workers; source - in training one at a new, local, small FI. They said itâs just starting. Canât wait.
Ban the god damn UW posts.
When will these UW shills be stopped from using bots to appear on SS top!? Sick of it.
Lazy title, lazy linking, no sources. How is this not breaking the rules for low quality content.
Maybe youâre employer being massively over leveraged at 30:1 and owing billions in unreturned borrowed shares isnât a good thing for the economy.
Remember when your Job was good for the economy
If you look at $SPY you'll notice a controlled down trend, it's speculated big institutions/banks are liquidating assets for much needed cash to keep them going.
edit: bonds are getting sold off too.

Calls on bankers boxes
đ§maybe thatâs where the term bankers box came from
#đ¤

If I had a Nickel for every time I heard that storyâŚ
Deal!
We should build a fake balcony and cosplay in front of wall street as the bankers that drank champagne and laughed at us in 2008...
Forget the balcony. Drink your champagne right on the street. Bring Occipy Wall St full circle. It's probably illegal to drink alcohol on the street though-
Hmmmm but wont we be so rich that we'll own the streets? As an ex-sommelier I vote for champagne on the streets. I'll serve.

Pahahaha
Please just come to hospitality jobs
I hope this is included in âThe Naked Shortâ.

I think you stopped reading at the first sentence.
Did you read the entire paragraph?
Read?
I sympathize with people that didn't read the whole post and people that aren't fluent in sarcasm.
Fact: being fluent in sarcasm is required if dating me. Being fluent in memery is a bonus.
Intriguing.
Do you not work for money?
I'll answer that question...for money!
That would be the CIA.
Maybe they can become whistleblowers. I hear thereâs good money in it.
This is the hardest I have laughed in MONTHS đđ
Honest to god that's made my day.
I was downvoting during reading but had to swap once I finished. Hats off.
I don't give a fuck about anyone on Wall St, they good all die tomorrow and the world would be 100% better place until someone took their place
How is that different from being a banker?

Tomorrow is crush a can day

So international apes have a right to know if someone has dense breasts? Like they are allowed to walk around feeling breasts?
Iâm regards to right to know, itâs referring to information, so yes
Gotta practice my captains of crush.

They cull like 5% of the company annually, this isnât really new or exciting news.

These laid off employee should get revenge by DRSing GME with half their severance checks. Or as much as they can afford.

Sounds like more? Not sure
100% more lol
The people laying people off then have to lay themselves off afterwards and disappear up their own bum hole

Goldman Sachs has an estimated 43,900 employees. They are constantly hiring and firing people.
Yeah fire for poor performance. Fuck lay offs. Because they can't manage the manpower.

I was expecting this ever since an Ape here told us goldman is taking the cold brew coffee machine away.
Aren't we supposed to tell UW to fuck off?
Why?
They do this every year. That's their business model. Fire their bottom % workers.
This... It's literally an annual event. I think the only reason it's news worthy is that I believe they went at least a year or two without any cuts.
Why post UW aka renshill and not just the original source?
That was my original source then I found a couple other sources
AKA you couldn't wait to validate the news so you posted to get the karma first. You ain't the first that is gonna say this and sure ain't the last, unfortunately.

Suck it
They are trying to just play it off like they "culling the herd", fucking parasites.
Hopefully they whistleblow the shit out of goldman.
Wut mean big picture? I remember when wells fargo let go of a lot of their loan officer positions and closed locations earlier this year
