Headhunters are making their way through at least JPM, Bank of America and probably Citi and others

[RB TexLa]

saying that congress will be taxing all bonuses at bailout recipients and that they have companies hiring with generous bonuses. I don't think it will be a big drain but some talent is going to be lost by these companies.

[Ian David]

1. What if one were to pose as a headhunter just to trick people into quitting their jobs?

You rent an office suite for interviews and such, give them a contract, and the employee gives 2-week notice...

Oh, that would be mean.

[RB TexLa]

3. I would hope if someone went throuh the expense and effort of that it would be targeted at people

they had a grudge against.

Talk about serving it up cold.

[AngryAmish]

7. And you would get sued

Fraudulent inducement.

Might be a crime, also.

[Ian David]

20. Obviously, you wouldn't use your real name.

Yeah, it might still be illegal.

And you COULD get sued-- tortious interference, maybe?

[ddeclue]

2. TALENT by definition is someone who HELPS your company...

These people that ran these companies are NOT TALENT...

Stop shilling for the corporatocracy on DU!

These people deserve to be working as WalMart greeters at this point not getting bonuses.

On second thought strike that - they belong in jail.

Head hunters are NOT running around hiring these ass clowns.

:argh:

4. there HAS to be SOME talent at these companies

not ALL these guys lost money so if they hire away what little TRUE talent is there then these guys will be left with the dregs who dug the hole they are in.......... good luck fixing this with THAT crew!!!!!

[ddeclue]

12. B.S. who cares. AIG needs to DIE already..stop making excuses for caving into blackmail.

and we need to stop making EXCUSES

:argh:

[marketcrazy1]

16. Dude do some research

and see what happens if AIG dies. I understand and share the outrage here but i also KNOW the realities and there simply is no easy or painless way to wind down a company this large period.

[ddeclue]

18. Dude... I DON'T CARE... the world will go on...

you don't pay blackmail because it never ends...

Doug D.

[marketcrazy1]

19. ddeclue: I hear what you are saying

and on a personal level I would like to see AIG fall apart, I live a very frugal life and have little to lose however the impact of the failure of AIG would be SEVERE! many would suffer, here at home and around the world. is that what i REALLY want??? I dont think so...........

[RB TexLa]

5. Yes everyone at these companies went to work the the last five or so years thinking

what can I do today to destroy the company. :crazy:

[ddeclue]

14. Apparently those at the top certainly did and those underneath didn't have the backbone to call them

on it.

I have NO patience for people making blackmail justification arguments.

AIG needs to die already!

Doug D.

[Deja Q]

30. Well, they didn't think of it as destroying the company - perhaps they just weren't thinking?

;)

29. OMG! SOMEBODY IS MAKING SENSE!! CALL THE POLICE! CONGRESS! EVEN SIMON COWARD!!!!!

6. headhunters are making their way through EVERY f***ing financial institution..

all the time, just like they always have and always will....THAT'S THEIR DAMN JOB!!

jebus, would you have us believe that there is/are some great talent(s) out there that haven't been under constant recruitment their whole career(s)?

and, how many NEW employees can all these distressed companies (which most financial institutions qualify as) take on?...seems like they will be letting some go to make way for the new guys...

yeah, i can just see it..."Our company is screwed. We are beyond broke." "Call the headhunter. Get us a couple of AIG guys in here."

[RB TexLa]

11. It's the saying that congress is going to tax all bonuses at 100% at their current company

that is interesting.

[SoCalDem]

21. and they are looking for CLIENTS

to try & find jobs FOR.. I cannot believe that there are abundant jobs in the financial field right now:)

Headhunters are the realtors-car salesmen of their field.. always looking for "customers":)

[Demeter]

8. NO Link, No Credibilty

Post your dreams and wishes in some other forum.

[RB TexLa]

10. You want me to record a couple of phone conversations with friends put them on the web and link to

them?

[ima_sinnic]

22. who the hell CARES?

[Deja Q]

33. He must, otherwise he wouldn't be posting this half-baked, baseless drivel.

:shrug:

[TWiley]

27. JUMP YOU FUCKERS .....

[malaise]

9. What fugging talent do they have

They pay themselves based on usury and our savings. They don't produce one fugging thing. I say fugg them.

[marketcrazy1]

15. there are tens of thousands of employees

across dozens of divisions some of wich turn a nice profit, some of THOSE talented ( experienced, knowledgeable people )will be hired away...... to companies NOT taking government money. ( if there are still any left! )

[treestar]

17. When their wonderful talents lead to growth in those other companies

then other jobs will be created and the unemployment rate will go down.

Though why are these talented people at these failed companies now? Maybe they are not so talented.

And where do these other companies get the $$ to hire them? If the economy is down, that $$ doesn't come from nowhere.

[TWiley]

25. Which divisions have turned a nice profit among bailout recipients?

[Deja Q]

36. Please spell it right. It's "fuck", not "fugg".

:evilgrin:

[TWiley]

39. Capitalize (pun intended) for Emphasis ...... Fuck ! n/t

[treestar]

13. How is it that these people are still in demand, when everyone

else's jobs are at risk? They are at the top of an economy going down. So why aren't they having to take pay cuts and suffer job losses?

[TWiley]

24. they are not in demand.....

I believe this thread is based on a false premise

[TWiley]

23. The financial industry has had lay-offs too

Especially brokerage firms. I dont think you are using the word "talent" consistantly with "desirable outcomes". The ones likely to jump ship are the ones we don't need or want. Let the rats learn how to swim.

[ima_sinnic]

26. awww, the poor widdle companies are going to "lose some talent"

gee, we better "do something." I mean, JPM, BoA, Citi, and "others" are just so .... so worthy of our activism and all. We better "do something" to make sure they don't "lose any talent" that's making them so responsible to the citizenry, such big contributors to the public good, such selfless, altrusitic, generous citizens, so valuable for life on the planet.

Like I care that any scumbag financial corporation is "losing talent." May they lose all their "talent" to hell.

[Deja Q]

32. Only the ones investing in greed and wrongdoings. Yes, greed is wrong.

THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE SAYS AS MUCH, SEVERAL TIMES OVER!!!!!!!!

"The love of money is the root of all evil".

As the OP didn't post any links, neither should I. The difference is, at least the Bible is more well known in the first place, despite modern day preachers that cherrypick only favored passages, so I don't have to.

[mitchum]

28. Cool...as long as those headhunters are measuring heads for pikes

[Deja Q]

31. Why don't you become a spokeman for

instead? Others' responses to this thread have proven you wrong.

[livetohike]

34. No one is indispensable - no one

Those who think they are, are in for a big surprise. It may take some a few more years to realize this fact than others, but maybe it's time for some life lessons.

Talent? To be a part of historical failure is nothing to be proud of on your resume.

[Deja Q]

35. In a culture of life, surely we all are indispensable?

WWJD?

[DireStrike]

37. Good! "Talent" lol. Let em shuffle shit around. Won't fix anything.

[tekisui]

38. That kind of talent, we should be happy to lose.

Good riddance.
