See information bigger bonuses for 2009, Manhattan best place to work...

have i missed the train yet?

pls send the link a third time!

Congrats if you're one of the lucky bonus babies.

for everyone else it's still............bone us

not so sure about this... the article says:
"Nearly three in five of those surveyed believe their 2009 bonuses will
either increase or won't change. Only one in four anticipate a decline."

So 55% will have the same or more bonus for 2009 compared to 2008, 25%
will have less than 2008 (that hurts). I am guessing the remaining 20%
said don't know, or don't expect a bonus at all??? What about how many
are unemployed now vs. last year. This doesn't read like good news at all!!!

funny..for the last 10 months Ive been walking by the same empty store fronts all over the UES..but yeah things are back

They didn't survey the 50,000 people who don't have those jobs anymore.

Well I am really glad you guys can still afford your Internet connection.

the lattes had to go, but the internet is sacrosanct.

New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do, now in New York, these streets make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you, let's hear it for New York . . .

licc, i actually enjoyed that post.

Glad to hear ar! Always enjoy Alicia Keys . . .

OMG what sore buttheads.

wow, what a toilet mouth

Ah, the nasty, crude aboutready is back. You really didn't know that she sings those lyrics? I know you are old but I didn't think you were that old and out of it.

must have been some dirty rim job with her husband that started this all.

i guess none of you are "young" enough to watch jon stewart.

That must be one of those comments from aboutready that julia finds "insightful".

How are we gonna have price increases when major developers are starting new incentive plans? the fact that they have to do that means they are so screwed. When the banks take another headshot early next year from the commercial RE refi disaster...forget it. The new leg down starts now.

licc, i must say you don't have a very big fan club. you seem like a very narrow asshole with a very limited agenda.

feel free to prove me wrong, but you haven't done so to date. i don't sense much approbation generally for you, but have fun fighting your hugely uphill battle here.

i actually enjoy your posting. it's nice to have something that's so easily refutable.

are you in to scat too?
