A MODEST PROPOSAL

I will take it upon myself to do Jaime Dimon's job AND
I will do it for * half * the salary he makes.

Let's start your interview then.

Do you like to fire people? Do you really like it?

Well, second question. Actually, a second chance at the second question, since you've messed up on your first answer.

"Salary" is not the right answer, since wages and salaries are regular income, subject to a maximum marginal rate of about 35%. Your compensation, yours, not the government's, should stay with you. How would you like to be compensated then to keep as much of it as possible?

85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. Do you really want to be on the other side of that statement?

Well...I may have to re-think my position.
If you want me to lose *three* billion or more it might cost you
an additional yacht and crew.

It's only paper losses.

It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter.
