Dimon making mass recommendations for Bear workers

Normally, a recommendation letter from the CEO of a top Wall Street firms would be much coveted, perhaps a deciding factor in landing a job. But what if the CEO was sending such letters out en masse, which is exactly what JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon is doing on behalf of displaced Bear Stearns employees, according to the Financial Times. He's planning to send 100 letters to "clients, rivals and vendors" to ask them to hire laid-off staff. You have to admire his efforts. It's certainly in the bank's best efforts to keep laid-off employees as bitter-free as possible. To some, it will smack of PR. But it's better than nothing. It may bear fruit for some, but at a time like this, most will still face a bleak hiring environment.
