From Ordering Steak and Lobster, to Serving It

Carlos Araya used to order lobster, filet mignon and $200 bottles of red wine at the Palm Restaurant in midtown Manhattan.

Now, he seats customers at its Tribeca branch.

Mr. Araya, 38 years old, lost his job in 2007 as a crude oil trader on the New York Mercantile Exchange. After visiting dozens of headhunters with no luck, he applied in August 2008 to be a host at the Palm to support his wife, two young daughters and mortgage payments. His salary has plunged from $200,000 to $25,000.

I'm sorry (no I'm not)...This guy was part of the system that brought this economy down with his greed...

When is the MSM going to talk about people who have been struggling for years with the smoke and mirrors that have been the American economy?

and get fired?

The poweres that be knew they could nut sustain what they were doing and made money while it could be made (I mean stolen)

Chambermaid in a hotel. Worst job I ever had.

Newsflash, M$M whores... people have been living in poverty for eons.

I guess it's only newsworthy when 'important' people have to deal with it.

That's just the way it is.

Want a Free Press? You won't find it in the American Empire.

He's getting a life lesson that one can only learn through experiencing it first hand.


He'll be a liberal soon. Once he realizes how his employer, his government, and his customers treat him like shit.

Think about the people he's going to encounter there, and ask yourself how many he will end up doing business with.

this guy was a trader in CRUDE OIL dipshit!!!

He is one of the ones that helped drive prices up! Get it!

BTW...alerting on your post

The excerpt mentions his previous high lifestyle, but $200K/annum in Manhattan doesn't go all that far. I have less sympathy for the Wall Street types who spend $200K on a single birthday party.

At any rate, this guy seems to take his responsibilities seriously. He's making far less money, but he's working.
