Do they kip in coffins too? Gives a whole new meaning to the word "stakeholder"

Does this mean they'll have to hire lots of contractors to sort out the resulting mess?

"Five of the industry's biggest firms are said to be considering eliminating thousands of investment banking jobs in the coming weeks, as revenues have dropped off due to the choppy economy, and increased regulation has adversely impacted profits."

Thank tulip for that. I don't see the point of being in contact 24 hours a day when most things can wait. Remember nothing absolutely positively had to be there before FedEx or whomever invented overnight delivery.
