The financial services industries have shed thousands of jobs (BoA is expected to let go of 42,000 total).

Sometimes it's not what you know, but who you know. :-) <br> <br>And I don't think it's a "gotcha" quote either. He is clueless if he used the term "draconian" to talk about $500,000/year pay to a reporter. Cry me a river.

For an executive at a major firm, $500,000 is quite low. The reason some people get paid so much is to attract the most capable people. Now granted that might not have worked so great recently in the financial industry, but the principal still stands. I don't like that they used it as a "gotcha" quote to paint this guy as out of touch. He's not wrong though. For an executive at a major firm, $500,000 is quite low.
