Oh, cool! You make saxophones?

No it’s golden sacks that you can get into, but only if you’re a man. Very popular in Europe

No, it's Goldman's sacks. They make branded bags.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

No, I’m sorry, you’re mistaken. It’s a giant bag for you to climb in to, if you identify as a man. And it’s golden. Ok?

Actually it's Goldman's Axe, the Finest Axes This Side of Middle Earth

When I lived in DC this was my favorite thing to do at parties.

"Congressional Staffer? Is that like a temp agency?"

"Department of which state exactly?"

"Yeah ok buddy and I work at the irregular tetrahedron."

People would get way too upset about it.

Many of them equate career to quality of person.

"I'll bet you're a VP too."

For those in the know, that is a hard roast. Why don't you just kick him in the fork next time?!

Oh, Goldman also does the weirdly inflated titles game like Morgan Stanley?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They call everyone a VP so idiot customers can brag about how some important guy gave them investment advice. It's a scam to fool the gullible.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think originally it came from banking regulations requiring high level approval before someone could do risky shit. So now everyone is a VP

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

So, it was a legal loophole? That's kinda even more shady lol

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Most financial institutions do, even down to local banks.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Real estate people too. If you're not a VP in real estate, you don't really exist. I've met guys with a VP title who are like 23 years old and not even done their mbas. It just makes everyone look stupid.

From my experience working as an IT freelancer in the industry (so I've worked in a number of places), they all do that in Finance.

One of the great temples of capitalism, where money is sucked from everywhere to enrich 3 old fuckers who really should've died of old age 30 years ago
