You know something?
That’s the WTO, biatches.
Many of the nearly 200,000 jobs that major U.S. banks expect to whack by the end of next year aren’t disappearing, they’re just disappearing from U.S. soil. Supposedly, somewhere from 20-40 percent of investment research jobs could be sent offshore.
You know something?
That’s free trade, biatches.
Beyond schadenfreude, it’s nail-biting and back-biting time in Manhattan’s downtown canyon walls, too. The NYT story says nobody from Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch or Citigroup would talk to them.
That’s all right. Maybe you’ll hang around before the last NYT job is outsourced to Mumbai.
And, here’s part of why they don’t want to talk — silence is coming straight from the top:
“Some of that is self-serving,” Octavio Marenzi, chief executive of Celent, said of the impulse to keep quiet. “If I admit that research analysts can be off-shored to India, that means that I could too.”
So, Mr. CEO has to decide whether to go to New Delhi or accept a golden parachute buyout.
You know something?
That’s the real world, biatches, except we don’t get golden parachutes out here.
