Emailing it to the Man

So ... apparently the entire second year class of analysts in the healthcare group is leaving UBS(they have a choice to stay or go) for fat cat private equity jobs..

this is a prelude for one of the funniest UBS "case studies" I have ever seen....
This is actually perfectly formated in UBS colors, font, style ... etc(it's a bad screen shot sorry)


oh and he was being completely serious... can you say bitter?

note the fact that we rename our deals with ridiculous code names... I wish we were a little more creative...I'm working on a "Project Nature" right now

so the highlight of my days is sending snarky emails to my intern friends...and I send a LOT of them...it's my little way of striking back at the man for making me work so much

oh and snarky is officially in the Merriam Webster dictionary

From the Merriam Webster online dictionary
snarky
Main Entry: snarky
Pronunciation: 'snär-kE
Function: adjective
Etymology: dialect snark to annoy, perhaps alteration of nark to irritate
1 : CROTCHETY, SNAPPISH
2 : sarcastic, impertinent, or irreverent in tone or manner

I epitomize the second definition of "snarky" and if I stay here long enough I will start epitomizing the first...eep?!

oh and when I was going down yesterday to get my third starbucks latte before it closed at 8, I took an elevator down with a sloppily dressed man in his mid-50s, who, as I entered, was bobbing his head to the music on his ipod. As the elevator progressed downwards he started getting more and more into his music ... by the time the door opened on the plaza, he was doing a fantastic rendition of the "weapon of choice" video by Fatboy Slim...although I have to say, I prefer Christopher Walken

it was mesmerizing, even more so through my greedy peripheral vision in my oh-so-polite poker face.
