These are troubled times at Bank of America – what with today’s announcement of an emergency government bail-out.
Still, if employees are feeling depressed may I suggest that they take a fond look-back at this inspirational video, made by Bank of America employees in happier times. It features an ecstatic middle-manager singing a song, set to a tune by U2, about a recent merger that the bank had negotiated. The song contains immortal lines like – “Two great companies come together/ MBNA and BOA/ One bank, one card, one name that’s known all over the world”. Bono himself couldn’t have put it any better.

On the other hand, watching this performance, I slightly wonder whether it might not be more merciful to put people like this out of their agony.
