Well the shareholders just approved the sale of Wachovia bank to First Union. The group will be the 4th largest bank in the country.

The bad thing is, they are expecting to lay off about 7000 people. That means there are 7000 people I gotta f*cking compete with again. On top of the 500K people that got laid off/fired last month.

Of course nothing is final yet.

BTW, AAA+ if you're reading this. Anything on FTU's bond desk that might be opening up? I suppose that they will be keeping all of the branch investment reps, so the trading desk might be ramping up right?

Trust me...
This is the 5th M&A I've gone through in the last 10 years and it SUCKS!
I started out working for a company with 3500
employees and now I'am part of the BORG.

Still in a freeze but I've got your resume in front of the right people.

Don't get your hopes up, LT.  Afterall, the economy is collapsing Tuesday.  The Germans say so [;)]
