Lehman CEO kicked out of his plush corner office

More

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

With Lehman Bros. in the midst of winding up what's left of its operations following its bankruptcy filing, chairman and CEO Richard Fuld has been kicked out of the corner office at Lehman's Manhattan headquarters -- and sent packing to to a 41st floor office at 1271 6th Avenue.

Lehman's building at 745 7th Avenue is now the headquarters for Barclays' investment banking operations. It has no use for Mr. Fuld. With a flair for drama, The Wall Street Journal sums it up (subscription required) this way: "Napoleon cooled his heels on Elba. The Dalai Lama lives in Dharamsala, India. And Lehman Brothers Holdings Chairman and CEO Richard Fuld Jr. will be banished to 1271 Sixth Ave."

Meanwhile former CFO Erin Callan -- who was pushed out as a sacrificial lamb back in July -- gave her first post-Lehman interview to Fortune, telling the reporter that Mr. Fuld had been brought to tears by the difficulties the company was facing.

If you're in the market for $15 million worth of Fuld's modern art collection, Christie's has got you covered.
