Ken Lewis, Pay Back is a Bitch (updated)
Edited on Thu Apr-23-09 05:45 PM by louis c
Ken Lewis held a conference call prior to the november 2008 elections which amounted to a corporate call to arms against labor unions and the employee free choice act. This no good piece of shit took taxpayers' money and tried to finance the defeat of workers to organize.

SEIU and other labor unions organized against this steaming pile of excrement and decided to use stockholder and taxpayer pressure to fire Ken the asshole

Now, Andrew Cuomo has put "Kenny Boy" into his sights, and Ken the Rat is trying to blame his old Friend Hank Paulson for all the troubles.

Hey, Ken, we know how to play hardball, too. If you think screwing people was fun, wait until you get to the big house. You'll have a blast.

May you rot in hell, you no good piece of shit.

getting you canned. Proceed straight to the pit of hell.

It's called being dumb and getting kicked out by your shareholders and board.

3. The arrogance is what gets me
Can you believe that someone in his position would want to take on such a visible slot in such a controversial issue in which the President and a majority of congress are on the other side? All the while, you need them to keep your company afloat.

4. I empathize with your rage.

You have a point.

I was thinking that what really pissed off shareholders were the twin acquisitions of CountryWide and Merrill Lynch.

But there is a corporate arrogance that is shocking beyond belief. Like AIG, especially.

Banks have always had this arrogance that "we can make no mistakes" until a crisis, where they begin having to write off losses hand over fist.

Believe it or not, there used to be responsible CEOs. It looks like that era is gone.
