Career Prole's Journal
I got my Social Security Earnings Statement in the mail yesterday and since I couldn't go home this weekend and was bored silly, I added up all those annual earnings they listed there.
Hot diggity damn! It took over 37 years of punching a timeclock (and three lay-offs) but this year (providing I don't get laid off again, of course)... I'm going to hit the ONE MILLION DOLLAR mark in lifetime earnings! C'mon...let's give it up for ol' C. Prole!  Thank you! Thank you so much! I'd just like to say that my first million wouldn't have been possible without the help of a lot of people, and I'd like to take just a moment to thank...excuse me just a second...what's that you say? Who the heck is Ken Lewis and why should I care about him on my big night? Make no mistake about it. Ken Lewis of Bank of America fame is the latest worst CEO in America today. And his smear campaign against John Thain is just that--sour grapes all the way. The truth is Lewis knew exactly what he was buying from Thain. Yet for some reason Lewis could not help himself when it came to Merrill Lynch. Not only did he add Merrill's dead weight to his own leaky boat, he even managed to do it at a premium. That makes Lewis something of a glutton for punishment—or at the very least reckless beyond belief. Of course, it wasn't all that long ago when Lewis was hailed as some sort of genius in the industry for buying Countrywide Financial off of that shyster Angelo Mozilo. Needless to say, that deal hasn't exactly been one to crow about either. Unfortunately, for Bank of America's shareholders Lewis's hubris has been as painful as it comes. So now he is just the latest "smartest guy in the room" to be left twisting in the wind. Oh, well shit fire and save matches! He can't be rakin' in the dough-re-mi. He's a screw-up! Beg pardon? He makes what? He makes a million roughly every two weeks, you say? Seriously? No joke? Sorry folks. You can all go home now. The party's been canceled. No, I'll be okay. I'll just need a minute or two alone...  |
