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.
When I go back to being a Beltway Bandit, I need to remember these!
“Then he gave his business card. I looked at the subtle off- white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even had a watermark. He then excused himself to return some video tapes.”
Just a common pleb. Couldn’t get a reservation at Dorsia’s to save his life.
“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?
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.
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.
Most financial institutions do, even down to local banks.
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.
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
Gold Man Sacks? Nice! How much are gilded testicles?
You mean the Jewish purse manufacturer in France?
Jewy Vuitton?
What is it, actually?
One of the banks involved in the financial meltdown of 2008.
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
