Vikram Pandit, 'COO' of Citigroup

Agreed as well. Give Pandit some time. At least he's smart enough not to make rash decisions.

As for the "shoulder-to-shoulder" comment, there was one person in the WSJ article who clearly wasn't on board with the new team, and that was Krawchek.

Some sour grapes that her star keeps falling might be expected, but when she goes that public against the new leader that quickly, it's time to push the eject button - that kind of open dissention in the ranks is just too counter-productive for this new of a leadership.

The best signal that Pandit could give to the rest of management is to fire her and the "sacred cow tradition" that she represents at Citi.
