Comments:
Started working: 1992/1993

Stopped working: 6 months

Types of Jobs: Chemical Bank/Manufacturers Hanover, just pre-merger

Benefits: still waiting, especially considering the numerous articles concerning temporary workers and the lack of benefits

Salary: varies

Comments: This was the only company I worked for under them. The salary was average at the time. Days. The company was just pre-merger. Tiger had just left (per a timesheet left behind @ my 1st desk). And, of course, the litigation department had a former Tiger assisting a female attorney (don't remember her name) who appeared to be adequately bright -- he approached me with my forever negligent "let's unionize?", which I of course, being the duly diligent New Yorker said, "How?" He'd also been "fired" from Tiger. They know what I mean. Who can be serious?
