Bank Teller: I work in Finance

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.

 

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!

 
righton:
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.
agreed, that's why there's a distinction between finance (everybody including the bank tellers) and high finance (as in "welcome to the world of high finance [generally pronounced in the snobbish way - finnance]"
 

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.

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.

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.

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.
