How to F*** up and make Millions

For those of us looking at the golden parachutes handed to some of the top investment bankers recently and wondering how come you get to be paid millions of dollars for F***ing Up Big Time – The Big Picture, a Wall street financial blog, has taken the trouble to post a nice little PowerPoint presentation explaining the whole thing.

Except perhaps for the $160 million severance package Stan O’Neal walked away from Merrill Lynch with when he “retired.”

This is possibly the best PPP I have ever seen and I can only hope the next time I f*** up and get fired, I do it in the style to which I would like to become accustomed.

This presentation has apparently been circulating Wall Street trading houses for a little while now. So – thanks to The Big Picture for sharing. Of course, if you are offended by the F-word, or coming to the realization that the $500,000 condo you bought last year is now worth about half that – you may not find this quite so funny.

The presentation is here.
