Bank of America to Cut 12,500 Jobs

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Bank of America Corp., which completed its merger with FleetBoston Financial Corp. last week, said Monday it will cut 12,500 jobs, or about 7 percent of its combined work force.

Approximately 30 percent of the cuts will come through attrition, the Charlotte-based bank said. The reductions will occur over the next two years and will begin this month.

Bank of America chief executive Ken Lewis has said he wants to achieve about $1.6 billion in cost savings by the end of 2005. The two banks don't have a large number of overlapping branches that can be closed, which is a major source of savings in many bank mergers.

Instead, the bank has said it expects to get about $650 million in savings from trimming overlapping operations and processes. For example, the bank will be able to consolidate headquarters for combined business lines, Lewis has said.

"When we discuss job reductions, we are talking about positions not necessarily people," said Marc Oken, transition executive for Bank of America. "As a large employer, we will continue to create jobs over time. These are difficult decisions and we are committed to supporting our associates during this time."

Wow! 12, 500 people getting fired! Maybe it's a good thing I work for EDS now?

Here is the screen capture I promised!

Spymac Launches The Internet's First Free 1 Gigabyte Email Service
04/05/2004 00:15 | By The Spymac Team

One gigabyte of storage is available to all Spymac Mail accounts, effective today, Monday April 5, 2004.

Spymac agrees with the staff at Google that a 1 GB e-mail account makes sense. Millions of people rely on easy access to mail and depend on their email service to not indiscriminately delete important mail. Spymac Mail offers several advantages over other free Internet-based email. In addition to the one-gigabyte storage increase, Spymac Mail also offers both POP3 and Webmail access to the email accounts. For those wondering why on earth they would need one gigabyte for POP3 mail, don’t despair; because IMAP mail capabilities are under development and will be available very soon. Spymac Mail does not include keyword scanning for search and has no advertising.

Spymac welcomes email accounts from users 13 years old and up on any operating system. Sign up for your free account today by clicking here.

You can also join the Spymac online Macintosh user group by customizing your profile under the Options button on the top right above, after you've registered.

Now I've got a cool email address and a Gigabyte's worth of space to save messages! This rocks!

I'm going to WOF on April 16. The weather is going to be Cloudy and cold with rain High 55° F/Cloudy and very cold with rain Low 35° F. Guess I'll be wearing jeans and a coat and not going on any water rides because I'll already be wet and cold. Maybe I'll take a nice bright neon orange rain poncho so I can blend in with everyone else who has a neon orange rain poncho.

Lets see how much the weather changes in a week or so!

My Spring Break 2004 Florida pictures are now online.

I just signed up at bigchurch.com and lavalife.com to prove to myself that girls really do hate me. My plan is to prove this by not getting any responsece to my "please look at me, I'm very desperatete, I mean really really really desperate... so desperate that I've given up on meeting real girls and am now looking online" ads. ;)

Anyone know how I can get a job being an online radio DJ? I think that might be fun. Can't be anyworse that what I'm doing now.
