By now you must have heard about, Jérôme Kerviel, the 31 year old French banker who tried to conceal some 7.2 BILLION dollars worth of bad trades he made over the course of a year. But does anyone know if his employer, Societe Generale, has started interviewing to fill his job? Because I sure would like to have his job. I mean, think about it, how badly could I fuck it up? If they tried to criticize me, I'd just say, "hey, at least I'm not as bad as Jerome, remember that dipshit?"
I also think it would be great to have an employer that gives its employees so much freedom. Shit, I've heard of empowering one's subordinates, but allowing them to fritter away 7 billion bucks? Damn, sign me up. Jerome might not have been a model employee- but he did manage to conceal his losses for a long time- and while I might not let him balance my checkbook, he might be a pretty clever guy to have around too. In fact, as a Cubs fan, I'd like to see Jerome as the new Cubs GM. Any guy that can spend money like that should be the guy pulling the trigger on possible free agent acquisitions as far as I'm concerned.
