Thirty Two Million Reasons Why I’d Rather Be Working at Morgan Stanley
Steve Crawford, Morgan Stanley executive, received thirty two million dollars as a severance package when he quit the firm earlier this month. It was not made clear whether Mr. Crawford opted for a check or asked for the money in cash so he could go home and roll around his living room floor as we see so often in movies. A spokesperson for Morgan Stanley refused to speculate about how the unemployed executive is spending his time or his money. I doubt that he’s skulking around bars, sad and embittered. My guess is this: he took the check, grabbed a car service home, changed into a New York Mets jersey, went to the bank, opened an interest bearing checking account, grabbed four million in cash and bought everyone in New York City a hot dog. Yeah, that’s what I would do.

I can’t even imagine what I would do with that sort of severance.
