Ever met bank tellers who tell people they work in finance/banking? I want to smack them, making banking/finance look less prestigious after ppl find out they're tellers and making their job look more prestigious than the true crap it is.
Throw in those from ops + IT + customer representatives + janitors.

hahaha i also find it annoying reading comments on websites where people refer to bank tellers as bankers.
Yeah so this damn JP Morgan Banker refused to give all her Kennedy halfs so I can search through them for 40% silver. Damn Bankster Scum - Bob Mainstreet.
Calling yourself a banker and making enough money to actually be a real banker are two different things. Honestly, I am more than happy to let bank tellers get shit on by everyone for being foolish to identify themselves as bankers in today's environment.
I'm pretty sure you got the idea for this post from The Office episode where Michael Scott tells a lady at the bar he is a bank teller because Ryan told him to always tell women he works in Finance
Thought of this as soon as i read the thread title...i call plagiarism on the OP!
First of all, I don't watch TV. Second of all, I think you watch too much TV.
Who gives a shit do you actually think saying you work in finance is really that impressive?
Your either sitting in front of excel for 90 hours a week, or waking up at 5am to ge tot the floor before the sun is out...
btw, I am pretty sure leverage sellout did an article on this...
email me.. have a favor to ask
I love to read that LSO article. Can anyone gimme that link?
idk if this is what he was talking about but this thread reminds me of... http://www.leveragedsellout.com/2006/05/bankers-on-mars/
No I haven't... another pointless thread. Go get laid buddy
So a bank teller working at a bank doesn't work in finance? WTF? Of course they do. Stop being so insecure, and worry about your own job instead.
lol wtf is everyone so obsessed with titles for
Do people actually say "high finance?" I can't imagine anything douchier.
To the OP: If you run in social circles where you actually interact with bank tellers, you have no business discriminating against anyone.
no, no they don't. but the bank teller isn't wrong is the main point to be gotten from my post.
lol my boss at my work-study job at the financial aid office told me she used to work in banking--and by banking she meant one of those customer representative retail bankers you see when you walk into your local bank of america branch
Its just horrible, I have a friend who was a bank teller claiming "damn it feels good to be a banker". Luckily he was recently accepted to a top Canadian target.
Seriously. I had to disown all of my friends who didn't go top targets, and those who went to semi-targets, I'm only allowed to see on every other weekend.
An Excerpt From Book I, Pimpus Maximus
"And on the eighth day, (1) God recognized the need for the man to keep his bitch in line.
Thus, (5) he slaved and toiled for seconds, then minutes, then hours. At the end of this tumultuous period he stood proud, and his voiced boomed through (10) the Garden of Eden, 'Adam, keep thy bitch in line. On this day I have created a special tool, one that you will in time grow to master. Today, I offer you the (15) Hand of the Pimp.'
And Adam accepted this gift, this wondrous tool with utilities he could not possibly imagine; and yea did he rejoice in his (20) newfound abilities."
Alas, Adam also discovered that an apple can be turned into a pipe, and the 5-pointed leaves had a magical quality letting him visit even more exciting places. It was during one of these times, with Adam's Pimp Hand temporarily incapacitated, that that ho Eve's lazy ass took a break when she should've been working the corner of the garden and ate the god damn apple.
Anyways, alex, the point is that god gave you a pimp hand and you need to learn when to use it.
lol good stuff, however, my pimp hand is reserved for the hoes.
In conclusion, bank tellers are peasants.
The terms finance and banker are blankets.... I can tell you guys will do models and bottles in a sketchy nightclub and hit on women that are more insecure than yourselves. If a bank teller wants to tell anyone they are bankers let them, who cares? Go on with your life, it's ok. Concentrate on getting your full time offer and stop acting like you are shareholders of GS. You kids are absurd, only about 1% of the monkeys that post on here will actually get a photo ID with "IBD" or "IBK" on it.
Pointless thread, who cares.
I have never met a bank teller who even knew what "finance" was, let alone say he/she (usually a she- fat black woman dressed in shades of purple, green and gold) "works in finance."
not that i speak to them often- i usually just slip them a sheet of paper stating my demands and then haughtily stare above their eyebrows, daring them them to make servant-master eye contact.
