My agency will be laying-off 210 employees in January. This is not good.

I think I've pieced together why I was kept. It is beyond ridiculous but I'm not complaining (and is flattering in a way while also being a bit scary in its randomness).

Alex's trip to Las Vegas has been canceled.

And in an example of poor writing, I present the opening paragraph to the article:

Quote:
WASHINGTON - Wells Fargo & Co. abruptly canceled Tuesday a pricey Las Vegas casino junket for employees after a torrent of criticism that it was misusing $25 billion in taxpayer bailout money.
Wow: it was going to be a $25 billion junket?

I don't work at Wells but I used to. I wonder which event it was before I think about how inappropriate it was.

That said, big banks are national affairs and there is still a need to bring large geographically diverse groups of people together. And for the Wells footprint Vegas is reasonably central and reasonably cheap if you need to store 500 people for a few days.

And meantime, through other channels I am sure someone will be trying to find ways to spend government money to revive convention business in Vegas.
