Am I being too sensitive?
Maybe I’m being overly sensitive here, but recently have seen a number of headlines in the FT / WSJ / etc. on mass layoffs in banking, and the comments are almost uniformly jeering at folks who have lost their jobs.
I get it, we’re not nurses/ doctors/ teachers, whatever. But does anyone else get kind of irritated at the broad and mostly baseless dislike of people who work in banking? It’s the same as any other job, the folks who get let go are people too.
I don't think media comments are the place to go to see the best of humanity
Additionally, these outlets do article after article about how much banking people are paid, so in their minds these are grossly overpaid people getting their "comeuppance"
I try and steer clear of anonymous public commentary such as article comments
You make more than most people make in 5 years in one year so who cares what they say
You're being way too sensitive. Don't take anything you read in comments or online message boards too seriously.
People hate bankers; they hate the wealth, the self-importance, the douchebaggery - so obviously there will be celebrations when bad things happen -- very similar to how people are celebrating all of those grossly overhired tech nerds that are unemployed now.
Don't listen to the unwashed masses, not worth your time.
I feel like its the same thing with VCs, they think they're better than bankers and their shit doesn't stink, but at least bankers have the self-awareness(hopefully) to understand their place in the world and have accepted it. Also, medical research and pharma wouldn't be possible without bankers, and actually implementing that research into practice wouldn't be possible without doctors, so appreciation should go to both as both are necessary.
Your manager doesn’t care that people don’t care about your job.
